A while back I showed you a Maurice Richard cut auto and a Jean-Guy Talbot cut auto. Although I was pretty nervous putting the cards together, I was confident in my technique since I was able to practice with photocopies.
The card I tackled today really tested my nerves.
This was a one-shot only deal. I had spent days trying to figure out the best way to assemble this card without completely butchering it.
Needless to say I was extremely relieved when I finally punched it through my die-cutter. The back is just slightly off center, but I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.
It's a really cool piece I think. I did some research on the concert that this ticket was for. It was one of the last ever concerts put on by the 'Fab Four'. It was less than 2 weeks later that The Beatles played their final concert in front of a paying audience.
Pretty neat.
looks pretty cool... you should do a video of a "how to" with you using your cutter etc...
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking card. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteThe die-cutter is for the total card (2.5x3.5 inches) whereas I use a combination of precision scissors and an exacto knife to cut the hole for the ticket (or auto).
The die-cutter has a story in itself that I'll sure to be sharing one day.
Each and every day, the blogosphere-ites prove they are more talented than I am.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome!! Great job.
okay man, that's just sick! tell me you copied that design from somthing or i may have to shoot myself, cause that's the only way i could do it! great idea, though. i've got tons of old ticket stubs..maybe i can do something with them now. and by the way you gotta start showing the backs of these cards, too...if its not too much trouble.
ReplyDeleteI did get some inspiration from some Beatles books that I borrowed from the library.
ReplyDeleteAs for the backs of the cards...you make a good point. I will do my best to remember to scan them in.
Looking forward to hearing that die-cutter story! :)
