Paper Scraps and Card Templates

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's card was inspired by a template from page 22 of the current Annual Catalogue and a few scraps of designer series paper from the Timeless Plaid 6 x 6 paper pack.  For a fun bit of extra layering I combined the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and the new Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder.

So which is your favourite, the darker Mossy Meadow card or the Basic Beige card?  Both of these colours are found in the Timeless Plaid DSP?

  

***  The Trix  ***

*  Emboss a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of cardstock with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, #165559 and adhere to the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.

*  Emboss a 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 piece of cardstock with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and set aside.

*  Cut a 2 x 3 piece of dsp or die cut it with one of your favourite dies or punch it out.

*  Use a hold punch from the Hole Punch Assortment, #165409 to create a hole on either side of the dsp rectangle, big enough to thread Linen Thread, #104199 or Basic Beige 3/8 Bordered Ribbon, #163788 through.

*  Wrap the thread or ribbon through the dsp then around the Eyelet Embossed layer.  *Trix, loop the thread through the left hole, behind the dsp layer, then up and and out the hole on the right side of the dsp.  Wind it around the Eyelet Embossed Layer and tie a bow on the left.  Add a bit of glue to adhere the dsp to the Eyelet layer to secure if you wish. 

*  Stamp a sentiment with Mossy Meadow or Misty Moonlight ink on Basic Beige cardstock.  The Something Fancy Stamp Set, #160416 provided the tiny congratulations sentiment.  The script congratulations is from the retired Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.

*  Adhere the sentiment to the dsp layer with glue or dimensionals.  Adhere the Eyelet layer to the Mini Corrugated layer with dimensionals.

Birthday Celebration Gift Card Holder

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

I love creating new gift card holders or money holders.  In this version the holder pops up when you open the card, just for a bit of fun.   I've used the stamp set and dies from the new Birthday Celebration Bundle, #164599 and a some favourite retired dsp for my avid fisherman's birthday.

I was inspired by the Reel created by amandajane_craftee, click here to watch.

*** The Trix ***

*  Create the card base with a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock scored at 2 1/2 & 6 1/2 on the 8 1/2 side.  Crease the scored lines well with a Bone Folder.

*  Adhere a 2 3/8 x 5 3/8 piece of dsp on the bottom flap.

*  Adhere a 2 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of dsp on the top flap. 

*  Adhere the bottom flap to the card base to create a pocket.  I used Tear & Tape adhesive, #154031 on the sides for a secure hold.  

*  Cut a 4 x 5 7/8 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock for the inside piece, this piece will pop up when the card is opened.

*  Score this second piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 1/2 x 3 7/8, fold and crease the score lines well with a bone folder.  Fold at the 3 7/8 crease and adhere to the base to create the gift card pocket, adhere with Tear & Tape.  If you wish adhere a 1 7/8 x 3 7/8 piece of dsp to decorate.  

*  Tuck this folded 4 x 5 7/8 piece into the pocket of the card base - the 1/2 inch fold will be at the top.  

*  Adhere a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive, to the 1/2 section, then fold the top flap of the card down onto the sticky Tear & Tape.  When the card opens it pull up the hidden gift card pocket.

Playing with the Free Designer Series Paper

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

As some of you may know - I love embellishments, so my first choice from the Sale-A-Bration freebies this year was the sequins and the ribbon.  However, now I've started to play with the free dsp and I'm loving it.  

Toadstool Garden is a 6x6 pack, #164942 and the 12 x 12 is called Bloom Impressions, #164944.  I think they coordinate beautifully.

Each Free Sale-A-Bration item featured here is available with a $75 purchase during the checkout stage of your online order.

***  The Trix  ***

*  Adhere a 3 x 5 1/2 piece of Toadstool Garden striped DSP to the left side of a Fresh Freesia 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.

*  Choose a 3 x 4 1/2 complimentary pattern and cut it into a tag shape, *Trix, mark the centre of the 3 inch side then use the lines on the Paper Trimmer, #152392 to cut the same angle off either side.  Then adhere to the card base.  

*  Stamp the 'thank you' sentiment from My Small Business Stamp Set, #163720 with Melon Mambo ink onto a 1 1/2 x 3 piece of Basic White cardstock.  Then adhere to the tag with dimensionals.

*  Embellish with Paper Butterfly Accents, #162612.  *Trix, carefully add a bit of Melon Mambo ink to the butterfly using a Blending Brush, #153611.  Adhere the butterfly beside the sentiment with a glue dot rolled up so the wings can still flutter :)

*  Embellish with a Free Fresh Freesia bow, #164971 and Free Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins, #164970

The Sweet & Simple Version

*  Adhere a piece of Free Bloom Impressions DSP to a Melon Mambo 4 1/4 x 5 1/ card base.  The dsp is a smidge smaller, about 1/16 of an inch.  

*  Adhere a 3 x 4 1/2 piece of Toadstool Gardens DSP to the card base and stamp the Thank You from My Small Business Stamp Set with Melon Mambo ink on a 1 1/2 x 3 inch piece of Basic White cardstock.  

*  Adhere a Melon Mambo coloured Paper Butterfly Accent to the card and embellish with Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins.

Love Notes with the scraps

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

As I started to clean up my Valentines cardmaking scraps I had to stop and play with all the bits and pieces.  The Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper, #164919 is back in stock, and totally worth the purchase - I used it for Christmas cards too!  I used a retired favourite die called Bouquet of Love.

***  The Trix  ***

* Use up your scraps, I cut the above piece of dsp in half and made two 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 square pieces of dsp.  Adhere one piece of dsp to Cherry Cobbler cardstock, a 16th of an inch bigger.

*  Adhere the layer to a 4 x 8 piece of Melon Mambo to create a 4 x 4 card.

*  Die cut another heart, or use a leftover, in this case my leftover was Real Red.  Fit it in to the centre of the cut out image on the card front, adhering with glue.  

*  Die cut a smaller heart using Gold Foil Sheets, #132622 and adhere with glue.

*  Adhere a tiny heart with dimensionals, the heart came from the Country Bouquet Punch.

***  The Trix  ***  for a cute little heart to tuck in to something special

*  Fold a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock in half, mine was a 2 3/4 x 7 scrap.  

***Trix, position the left side of the heart die slightly over the fold line so when it's cut out, it opens as a folded heart.

*  Adhere a heart from the Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP to cover the front of the folded heart. 

***  The Trix  ***  for a small little card with a secret message inside

*  Die cut a heart using the *Trix above from a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock.  My card base is a scrap that measures 2 3/4 x 7 and its folded in half to be a 2 3/4 x 3 1/2 inch finished card.  

*  Die cut another folded heart in a complimentary colour, I used Flirty Flamingo, then covered the heart with dsp - set aside for a moment.  

*  Adhere a 2 3/4 x 3 1/2 scrap of Melon Mambo cardstock to the backside of the card base.

*  Fit in the Flirty Flamingo folded heart into the opening and glue to the base of the card.  

*  Stamp sentiments wherever you wish.  I wanted the 'Love' on the front to be Melon Mambo ink on White cardstock, cut it out with scissors and pop up with dimensionals.  The 'You' is also adhered with dimensionals and stamped in Melon Mambo ink.  The secret message inside is Melon Mambo ink and was stamped before I adhered the folded heart to the card base.
