Quick Paper Cast Cards
When you need some really quick cards, paper cast designs and some card stock are the answer! I always cast extra pieces to have on hand. These two cards went together in less than 10 minutes because of planning ahead….smile….and having the extra pieces.
Supplies:
• Any of the Arnold Grummer® paper making kits
• Blender, strainer, cello sponges and soft towels
• A sunny window
• Scraps of tan paper (think junk mail, etc.)
• Dark brown card stock cut to 5 ½ x 11” and envelopes
• Crafters EdgeTM Crossover II ™ die cutting and embossing machine (LOVE this new toy!)
• Tonic Studios™ paper trimmer
• Scor-Pal™
• Beacon ZipDryTM adhesive
• DecoArtTM Metallic Luster™ Iced Espresso
• Scraps of thin foam board
Instructions:
1. Follow the instructions found in any of the Arnold Grummer™ paper making kits to create
tan slurry and cast one or more each of the Dragonfly and flower molds.
2. Allow the casting to dry in the sunny window.
3. While the castings are drying, cut the dark brown cardstock to create 5 ½ x 5 ½” cards.
4. Use the die cut/embossing machine to emboss the front of the cards with a suitable
embossing folder.
5. When the paper castings are dry, lightly apply the Iced Espresso Metallic Luster to the
raised areas of the paper castings.
6. Use ZipDry adhesive to attach a small piece of thin foam board to the back of each paper
casting.
7. Attach the paper castings to the middle of the embossed cards with ZipDry adhesive.
