After a few rather unsuccessful projects with cheap cardstock, I decided to try a new project with some much better quality material. ‘Buy cheap, buy twice,’ as the saying goes, was never more true.
Anyway, the card is a simple edge cut card, with layers of red and black on a white cardstock base. The belt buckle and text in gold chrome permanent vinyl added a bit of shine.
Unfortunately, in the final step of the process, the transfer tape stuck to the card and removed a strip from the white cardstock base background, so I had to create an arch on the top edge to remove most of the damage.
Well thought using this design to make a cutaway card. I looks beautiful with these contrasted colours and againd the gold makes it rock.
A piece of advice if you don’t mind, once you’ve finished your layout, ckeck the shapes the epty spaces and margings make, as the emptyness is an important part of a design… blah blah blah it all means giving a little bigger margin to the words would make it better balanced
You make beautiful designs with a good finish, I don’t know why you doubt someone would want to buy them. You should absolutely try.
It was supposed to have more text and be squared off nicely at the top, with loads of space all round, as the screenshot below shows.
However, my Crafter had skipped lunch yesterday and decided to eat the small text on my last piece of gold vinyl. Also, when I transferred the remaining text the transfer tape ripped off a chunk of the card, so I had to round the top of the card, or start over without gold vinyl.
Not how I wanted it to look but the universe had other ideas!
I actually like the rounded version better. Sorry to hear you are having issues with your cutter again. That really sucks, sometimes we just need out technology to work. Its very frustrating.
