Anthology Mixed Media Set of 10 Cards Tutorial

Do you like to make cards?  Are you loving the Anthology Collection?  Last weekend I taught four classes at the Scrapbook and Paper Craft Expo in Brisbane and my Anthology ~ Set of 10 Cards was my most popular class.  So I thought I would make another set of Anthology Cards, but this time I chose to add a bit of Mixed Media into the cards as well.

I do enjoy making sets of ten cards.  This allows you to have a big stash of cards ready and on hand for those upcoming birthdays or when you need a quick thank you card etc.  The sentiments for each of these cards came from the back of the Paper Pad.  There are plenty of sentiments at the back of each Kaisercraft Paper Pad that are perfect for adding to a card.

I filmed a Video Tutorial for this Blog Post and I also have a written Step-By-Step Tutorial with photographs to assist you to re-create these cards.  I also have a lot of other tutorials on my You Tube Channel, if you are interested in Videos.  The corresponding written tutorials are on my blog.  All my projects, videos and tutorials feature Kaisercraft Products.

Step Three

Choose 1 sheet from the 6 1/2 inch Paper Pad.  Cut it in half at 3 1/4 inches.  Cut each half into 1 1/4 inch strips.  This will give you ten strips measuring 3 1/4 x 1 1/4 inches.  Ink edges with Bark Ink.
