Bonus Video: “Diagonal Rays” with Patterned Paper
Hi all! I have a super quick post for you this morning. I filmed this video last weekend and am just now getting around to posting it. It’s been way too busy around here!
Anyhow, I posted a page not too long ago that had some “diagonal rays” made out of patterned paper. Quite a few of you asked how I cut the paper down to create it. So here we go! This is how I did it. :) There are lots of way to do this, but this is the way I made that scrapbook page. Enjoy! :)
BTW, I used BasicGrey’s Lemonade collection for the patterned papers. Aren’t they cute? And K&Co. Wild Raspberry Acetate Diecuts for the butterfly. :)
WOW, Kristina! What a gorgeous card – love what you did with the patterned paper, and love the butterfly! Thanks for such great inspiration ;)
July 16th, 2009 at 7:51 amYou make such a beautifull cards. You are my star. You have talent to bring always new insprirations.
July 16th, 2009 at 8:13 amKristina….this is a beautiful card. Love the pattern paper and the details of the butterfly
July 16th, 2009 at 8:34 amoh thank you, thank you, thank you! I ordered the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird pack so that I could scraplift your Remembering layout because I loved it so much but had no idea how to do the rays. Please put this card on Etsy…I want it!!! You are awesome, Kristina!
July 16th, 2009 at 8:45 amWhat a beautiful card! Thanks so much for showing us how you did that!
July 16th, 2009 at 8:57 amloving this card and the video, thanks! This is a little more busy thank your normal card. It is beautiful!
July 16th, 2009 at 9:01 amThanks for sharing – I really liked the card. I think I’m going to pull out my scrapbooking stuff and make one right now.
July 16th, 2009 at 9:19 amooooh this is so adorable! and i’m loving that butterfly!!!
July 16th, 2009 at 9:51 amKristina,
July 16th, 2009 at 10:13 amYou are so good with what you do!!!!!!
I love this video, thanks!
So so pretty girl! Love the colors on the dp!!! Gorgeous!!! The acetate embellishments are stunning!!
July 16th, 2009 at 10:15 amthank you so much for doing this. I guess I could picture it in my head how you made it. But seeing you “actually” do it just made it easier for me to figure it out. great technique!!!
July 16th, 2009 at 10:34 amKristina, I’ve been following you for so long, but don’t have my own blog, and so I didn’t know how to comment (technically challenged). I’m really hoping this reaches you. You are AMAZING and inspire me so much. I also live in Utah, and feel like you’re just one of my best friends down the street! You’re designs are fabulous, and your talent seems limitless. Beautiful card today; thank you!
July 16th, 2009 at 10:54 amGreat video! I love this technique and was thinking of something to do with those excess pieces, since they are already cut to card size….this would be perfect for a set of 4 cards, each with a different arrangement of patterns–just cut each pattern at all the tick marks and you’ll have all the pieces in one go! Gotta try this. Thanks Kristina! :)
July 16th, 2009 at 11:10 amVery pretty, I wouldn’t have been brave enough to mix those papers but you just have such a great eye for what works together! Thanks for the bonus video – you are so generous! Jo x
July 16th, 2009 at 11:12 amBeautiful card. Thanks for sharing your wonderful tutorial!
July 16th, 2009 at 12:13 pmLove this card! I’ve seen you use that hexagonal foam adhesive several times now and I’m wondering what brand that is. I’ve been using pop dots, but they’re a pain because I have to extract them from the frame around the dot. Would love to know what brand those sheets are! :)
I believe it’s Stampin’ Up! and they call them Stampin’ Dimensionals. :)
Great! Thanks so much! :)
Wow this is SO pretty. *swoonwithdelight* Need to make a card with diagonal rays – now! ;)
July 16th, 2009 at 12:32 pmGreat card, love the diagonal rays!
July 16th, 2009 at 12:33 pmI loved the original page and the card is just as gorgeous – gotta try it! Thanks for showing how to cut the rays – super cool. Marta
July 16th, 2009 at 1:09 pmOh thank you so much for this video. I want to do a lay for a challenge at the LSS about my son and his smile. I am inspired by your layout and card. I know exactly what and how to do it:) How and Where do you get your inspirations from?
July 16th, 2009 at 1:31 pmThank you so much for showing us how to do that! I loved the original layout and wanted to know how to cut the paper in rays, but I’m such a visual learner. That’s probably why I love your videos so much! (And I loved your spelling oops! I’m a 2nd grade teacher and it totally cracked me up!)
Don’t you just love that Lemonade line? I bought some even though I only have boys, so I guess it will all become cards for my girlfriends now!
July 16th, 2009 at 1:42 pmSooo beautiful! As always =)
July 16th, 2009 at 1:56 pmabsolutely gorgeous and you make it look effortless….going to go make one…

July 16th, 2009 at 2:18 pmThank you so much for the tri-weekly inspiration!
July 16th, 2009 at 2:44 pmwow … what a gorgeous card! looks fun to make too! :)
July 16th, 2009 at 2:44 pmThank you very much for this video. As soon as I saw your ‘remember LO’ I wanted to use it on a card. I used graph paper to cut out templates for the rays. But it didn’t work out so well. Your way is so much better and neat. Here’s a link to the card I made

What a beautiful card! I will have to try that technique.
July 16th, 2009 at 7:09 pmi’m a plain tshirt and jeans type, but my heart went flutter over those embellishments. sometimes glitter is just divine, no?
thanks for the demo!
July 16th, 2009 at 7:30 pmWhat a beautiful card. I love the colors and the butterfly just went on there nicely. Thank you for the idea and video. You’re awesome. I just love your work. Thank for the demo.

Wow! I always love your cards, but I think this is my absolute fave so far. I LOVE “Random Thursdays”!!!

July 17th, 2009 at 1:51 amThis was awesome. I will be trying this on my next card. Thanks for sharing. You rock! Hugs, Maria
July 17th, 2009 at 4:01 amDid you know remembering is misspelt on your layout? Another great video.
Yes, I did. In fact I noted it in the video annotations, and in the blog entry where I originally shared the page. :)
One of my favorites, your ideas really inspire me…Thanks!!
July 17th, 2009 at 6:53 amBeautiful card and great concept. I just wanted to share that I would think if you cut each square with the different diagonials you could make 4 different variations of the card with the different pattern paper rays. Thanks for all the inspiration!
July 17th, 2009 at 8:02 amAwesome technique! Thanks for a great video tutorial…looks like a beautiful quilt, indeed!
July 17th, 2009 at 3:34 pmThat is a beautiful card! Love everything about it! You are so talented! I love to come read your blog.
July 17th, 2009 at 5:52 pmThank you so much for the tutorial!! Love that pretty quilt look, will have to try this!! Thanks again!! Hope you have a great weekend!!
July 18th, 2009 at 12:37 amThat card is beautiful, thanks for sharing that technique. I will be using it very soon.
Your the best.

July 18th, 2009 at 8:30 amReally beautiful!!!
July 18th, 2009 at 3:18 pmThank you for this tutorial! I realised a card (http://www.flickr.com/photos/32617522@N07/3734988343/in/pool-heroarts) and it’s was fun! Thank’s!
July 19th, 2009 at 10:43 amThanks for the fantastic video. After I saw the video, it reminded me of the Stack n Wack technique in quilting. I knew you could use all the scraps to make four different cards with the same combination of pattern paper. I made a set of four inspired by your video. You can see them here (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1425586?&cat=500&ppuser=93817)
July 25th, 2009 at 10:38 pmI LOVE this, I finally got to try out this idea!
July 27th, 2009 at 4:38 pmI cut out 4 peices to the same size and then cut them all at the tick marks, they came out perfect and it made me 4 cards at once!!!
Thanks for your videos they are awesome!!!
