Templates aren’t just for 2-D paper shapes anymore! The Paper Pizazz®
Fold-It Swirls template makes it so easy to add dimensional paper accents
to your projects, and you can trace them onto any paper to customize them
to match your latest paper crafting projects! Shapes like roses, four
leaf clovers, stars, Celtic knots, spirals and buttercups will make your
projects pop. Just trace the template onto your choice of paper, then
cut it out, fold it into shape and add it to your project–it’s
that simple!
In “Grandpa’s Little Rosebud”, Shauna used the Fold-It
Swirls template to add a bouquet of 3-D rose shapes to the layout, inking
the edges of each folded flower to make them stand out. She added a brad
in each center and attached the flowers to the page with foam mounting
tape for extra dimension. Shauna traced her rose shapes out of the same
accent papers that she used to mat her photos and journaling, so the flowers
balance the layout and add an interesting focal point.
Trace the image onto the back of any patterned or solid paper
Cut the shape from the paper by cutting along the traced lines
Fold each of the petals inward
Voila! An instant dimensional paper accent!
Supplies:
Instructions:
- Use the purple mini dots paper as the background and ink the edges
with black. Mat the photo on white cardstock, trimming the mat to 1/16”,
then ink the edges with black. Mat again on pink texture paper, trimming
the mat to 1/8”, then ink the edges with black. Mat again on pink
gingham paper, trimming the mat to 3/8”, then ink the edges with
black. Secure the matted photo in the upper right corner of the page
with a glue stick.
- Computer journal the page title and name onto white cardstock, then
crop and ink the edges with black. Mat on purple texture paper, trimming
the mat to 1/16”, then ink the edges with black. Mat again on
pink texture, trimming the mat to 1/8”, then ink the edges with
black. Center the journaling below the photo, then adhere to the page
with one blue mini brad in each corner of the white cardstock.
- Using the template, trace two fold-it swirls rose shapes each on the
back of pink texture paper and pink gingham paper. Cut out and ink the
edges with black, then fold as instructed. Place one blue mini brad
in the center of each folded rose shape.
- Cut varying lengths of black and white gingham ribbon. Attach the
strips vertically up the left side of the background paper, criss-crossing
each other, using Glue Dots™. Wrap one end of each ribbon around
the bottom edge of the paper to secure on the back. Using foam tape,
add the fold-it swirl rose shapes to the ends of the gingham ribbon
lengths. Cut 4 lengths of black and white gingham ribbon and tie them
into knots and shoestring bows. Attach one knot or bow just below each
of the rose shapes using Glue Dots™.
- Punch one diagonal tag shape out of white cardstock and ink the edges
with black, then punch a 1/8” hole at the top. Cut a 3 1/2”
length of white embroidery floss and thread it through the hole, then
tie it into a knot. Computer journal the birth date onto purple texture
paper, then crop to 7/8”x1 3/8” and ink the edges with black.
Center on the white tag and secure using a glue stick. Use a Glue Dot™
to adhere the embroidery floss to the gingham ribbon strips, then secure
the tag on the background paper with foam mounting tape. Cut an 11”
length of pink grosgrain ribbon and tie it into a shoestring bow. Secure
the bow to the gingham ribbon strips, in the same place as the embroidery
floss, using a Glue Dot™.
