Pas à pas

1. 

   Take a 6x6 inch card blank and position a circular die over the centre crease, overlapping slightly so the card will fold and operate as a bubble mechanism.

2. 

   Use a portable die-cutting machine to cut out the circular shape through both layers of the card blank. Position the die centrally on the folded card and run it through the machine to create the bubble card mechanism.

3. 

   Trim the back edge of the circular card flat to create a stable resting base so the bubble won't rock when standing.

4. 

   Cut a circular backing piece from festive patterned card (red with gold stars or similar) to match the size of your bubble circle.

5. 

   Adhere the red patterned paper circle to the inside of the bubble card base. Leave the top corner unglued as you will need to insert the hoop mechanism there later.

6. 

   Nest two circular dies (one small and one larger) on gold card to create a donut-shaped hoop. Cut two of these gold hoops for the bauble tops.

7. 

   Glue the two gold rings back-to-back to create a finished hoop with no visible joins.

8. 

   Glue the gold hoop to the top of the red bauble circle to create a hanging loop for the bubble card.

11. 

    Gently tease up the lift-up panels on the tree pieces to add dimension and texture to the trees.

12. 

    Apply water across the top portion of the white circular background using a brush. Add blue watercolour pigment to create a sky wash effect.

    ▶ voir cette étape (13:45)
13. 

    Apply green watercolour washes to the tree pieces using a paintbrush, varying the shades to create depth and dimension. Work on one tree at a time, allowing the colours to blend naturally on the white die-cut pieces.

14. 

    Press the wet watercoloured pieces with paper towel to remove excess water. Dry thoroughly with a heat gun.

    ▶ voir cette étape (16:30)
15. 

    Stamp a 'Merry Christmas' sentiment onto the white circular background using black ink, positioning it in the top corner of the circle.

    ▶ voir cette étape (17:45)
16. 

    Glue the watercoloured background piece onto the bubble card base, aligning it with the red patterned circle so the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment is centred on the bauble.

Astuces de l'émission

• Trim the back of the bubble card flat to create a stable base so it won't rock when standing.
• Use a portable die-cutting machine for shaped cards as it's quick and effective.
• Watercolour dries back lighter than it appears wet, so don't worry about going too heavy at first.
