Another day in the 30 Days of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place and today we use "R." The letter "R" is pretty easy since there are at least a dozen different things starting with the letter "R" that can be used on holiday cards but I settled for Rubber Stamp (House Mouse), Red, and Rocker card. The tutorial at Beccy's Place for Rocker cards can be found by clicking on the A - Z Folds at the top of the blog and it's the simplest, quickest Rocker card of any tutorials I've seen for them. Check it out - it's a simple matter of cutting the bottom (of whatever card you're making) into a curved shape.
I decided on an A2 card (4.25 x 5.5 inches), laid on a horizontal "landscape", and used a paper plate (any plate or bowl would work; I just happened to have a stack of paper plates near the craft desk and grabbed one) to draw around the bottom edge of the card, then I cut it with scissors. Poof, quick and easy, By the way, although I did mine as a landscape version of an A2 card, you can cut a curve on the bottom of a vertical A2 and it will rock also.
I stamped the image and colored it with a combination of watercolors and Ohuhu markers. Once colored, I cut it with a QuicKutz die, then cut the corners with a Uchida corner punch. I added the sentiment, cut with an Avery Elle die, to the bottom of the image piece. I chose a red card base, and I've already explained how I made the rocker bottom. I layered on the image piece and it was finished!
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
