Assembly Video Overview

In this assembly video, we will be creating the Juliet card from our new card bundle. This card is mostly paper piecing and will Create a wow factor by using foam squares to elevate various sections. We will go through the step-by-step process of assembling the card, including adding the interior piece, creating the button, gluing the black section, adding the gold foil piece, paper piecing, attaching the lips, applying the hair pieces, and building and attaching the bow. At the end of the assembly, we will also Show You how to create a coordinating envelope for the card.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's Gather all the materials we will need for this project. You will need:

  • Cardstock in various colors
  • Foam squares or pop dots
  • Glue
  • Bone folder or scraper tool
  • Embossing folder (optional)
  • Gold foil (optional)
  • Dowel (optional)
  • Black marker (optional)

Step 1: Preparing the Card Base

To start, we will prepare the card base by flattening out the score marks using a bone folder or scraper tool. This will ensure that the score marks are not visible on the final card.

Pro tip: Using a bone folder or scraper tool to flatten the score marks is just as effective as using a solid score line. It may not be aesthetically perfect, but it gets the job done.

Step 2: Adding the Interior Piece

Next, we will add the interior piece to the card. Make sure to Align the piece properly and Apply a thin layer of glue to avoid warping the paper. The interior piece has guides for a button that will be added later.

Pro tip: Take Care to center the interior piece and create a nice even border all the way around. This will ensure a clean and professional look for writing or stamping on the card.

Step 3: Creating the Button

Now, let's create the button for the card. Start by gluing the black section onto the designated spot on the interior piece. The black section has pointy tips that align with the guides on the interior piece. Then, add a gold foil piece on top of the black section to cover it completely. Finally, place a colored circle in the center of the button.

Pro tip: If you are using gold foil, be patient while it sets. The button will show through the foil, adding a touch of elegance to the card.

Step 4: Gluing the Black Section

In this step, we will glue a similar piece onto the card base. This piece serves as a non-patterned section. Align the piece using the cutouts as guides and press it firmly into place.

Step 5: Adding the Gold Foil Piece

Now, let's add a thick gold foil piece on top of the black section. Rotate the piece to ensure that it covers the section completely. The gold foil adds a luxurious touch to the card.

Pro tip: Gluing the gold foil may require a little more patience, as it may take longer to set. Take your time to ensure a perfect result.

Step 6: Attaching the Color Circle Piece

In this step, we will place a colored circle in the center of the button. Find the corresponding circle and pop it into the center of the button. The button and the colored circle should now be visible through the gold foil.

Step 7: Paper Piecing Part 1

Now, we will begin the paper piecing process. Find a piece that is similar to the previous piece used and glue it down onto the card base. Flip the card over and apply glue to the piece, ensuring to work efficiently. Press the piece into place, using the cutouts as guides for alignment.

Pro tip: Working methodically and efficiently during paper piecing will give you the best results.

Step 8: Gluing the Flesh Tone Piece

Next, we will glue a flesh tone piece onto the card. Before gluing, consider adding ink to the piece, focusing on the area that will be visible through the neck section. Inking will help separate the flesh tone piece from the background piece. Align the piece using the little curve and the right side of the face as guides.

Pro tip: Adding ink to specific areas can create depth and visual interest in your paper piecing projects.

Step 9: Applying the First Pattern Piece

Now, let's add the first pattern piece to the card. Match the piece with the designated spot and ensure that it aligns correctly. This piece adds another layer of Detail to the card.

Step 10: Adding the Embossed Piece

In this step, we will add an embossed piece to the card. The embossed piece has been created using an embossing folder. Align the piece with the existing shadow layer and press it into place. The embossed dots add a delicate texture to the card.

Pro tip: Embossing can add a beautiful and unique touch to your paper crafting projects. Experiment with different embossing folders to achieve different effects.

Step 11: Correcting a Mistake

If you Notice a mistake during the assembly, don't worry! Mistakes happen, and it's all part of the creative process. Simply start over by peeling off the incorrect piece and reapply the correct one. Pay Attention to alignment and make any necessary adjustments before the glue fully sets.

Step 12: Gluing the Flesh Tone Piece (Take 2)

In this step, we will glue the flesh tone piece again, ensuring that the correct piece is being used. Align the piece properly and press it into place. This time, make sure to ink only the necessary areas to avoid wasting ink and time.

Step 13: Attaching the Lips

Now, let's attach the lips to the card. You will notice a little identifier to help with the positioning of the lips, ensuring a symmetrical face. Glue the lips in place, paying attention to the inking on the face piece to create separation and dimension.

Pro tip: Inking specific areas can help define and highlight different elements in your paper crafting projects.

Step 14: Applying the Hair Pieces

In this step, we will apply the hair pieces to the card. Use a small amount of glue and follow the design on the card to position the hair pieces correctly. The black hair on the gold foil creates a striking contrast.

Step 15: Applying the Gold Foil Earrings

Now, let's add the gold foil earrings to the card. Use a small amount of glue and attach the gold foil pieces to the designated spots. The gold on black adds another touch of elegance to the card.

Step 16: Building the Bow

In this step, we will build the bow. Start by curving the bow pieces using a dowel or a similar tool. This will give the bow a nice Shape without creasing the center. Apply glue to the ends of the bow pieces and attach them, layering one on top of the other. Hold the pieces together until the glue sets and the bow holds its shape.

Step 17: Attaching the Bow to the Hat

Now that the bow is assembled, let's attach it to the hat. Use a small amount of glue to secure the bow to the designated spot on the card. Align the bow using the markers on the hat to ensure it is upright and centered.

Step 18: Finalizing the Card

In this step, we will finalize the card by attaching the assembled piece to the card base. Use foam squares to create depth and dimension. Apply the foam squares to the back of the assembled piece and press it onto the card base, aligning it with the shadow layer. Hold it in place until the foam squares adhere securely.

Step 19: Creating the Coordinating Envelope

To complete the project, let's create a coordinating envelope for the card. Fold the envelope as instructed and apply glue to the designated areas. Place the envelope flap on top, aligning it with the score marks. Press down firmly to secure the flap in place.

Step 20: Adding Final Touches

Finally, feel free to add some final touches to the card. You can embellish it with gold pearls or rhinestones to enhance the overall look and make it more visually appealing.
