Spring Corners Anniversary Card

-

 Hi Crafting Friend, 

I hope you are having an amazing week. I'm getting ready to spend the weekend volunteering at Game On Expo, a video game convention here in Phoenix. I'm not into video games, but I enjoy meeting people and this is a fun way to do it. I hope you have fun plans for the weekend too!

I have another anniversary calendar card for you today. You can get the mini adhesive calendars from Vippies or Amazon. They are approximately 3" X 2 1/4" Let's get started.

CARD BASE

  1. Old Olive cardstock - 4 1/4" X 11" scored, folded and burnished on the long side at 5 1/2"  
  2. Old Olive cardstock - 4" X 4 1/4" scored, folded (valley, mountain, valley) and burnished at 1/2," 2," & 3 1/2" on the short side. Apply adhesive to the 1/2" portions and position it so the "valley folds are flush with the bottom of the front & back of the card and even on the sides. This allows it to stand stably for display.
INSERT
  1. Basic White cardstock - 4" X 5 1/4" Adhere to the back of the card so you have a place to write your message.
CARDSTOCK LAYER  
  1. Garden Green cardstock layer - 4 1/8" X 5 3/8"
  2. Using Mossy Meadow ink, stamp the sentiment in the upper right corner and the lines image in the bottom left & right corners.
  3. Stamp the balloons image in the upper right corner using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
  4. Stamp the balloons, each on a different DSP print using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then fussy cut them. Using a sponge dauber, edge the balloons with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
  5. Randomly stamp the hearts and dots images using Blackberry Bliss ink.
  6. Adhere the DSP balloons to the layer over the stamped image.
CARD FRONT
  1. Adhere the stamped cardstock layer to the card front.
  2. Add your calendar to the card front.
  3. If desired, add some embellishments.

Hi Crafting Friend, The Perennial Lavender DSP was still on my desk along with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamps and punch so, that's what I started with. Instead of waiting until I need one, I decided to make a Sympathy card with them. I really like the way it looks. What do you think?       Card Front                                                                 Inside/Insert Here's how to duplicate it: CARD BASE Crumb Cake cardstock cut to 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"  Score, Fold and Burnish at 4 1/4" on the long side.

Hello Hills of Tuscany Fun Fold Card

 Hi Crafting Friend, Welcome to 2024, the new Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. This Spring Mini catalog is always my favorite, especially when you add the benefits of Sale-A-Bration to it. There are so many adorable stamp sets, dies, DSPs and other goodies! Do you like this catalog as much as I do?  Today's card uses the Hills of Tuscany stamp set. The images were stamped directly onto the DSP, (house - white craft ink, roof - Cherry Cobbler, trees and sentiment - Shaded Spruce) the house was then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The card base is Shaded Spruce cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 3/4 and 4 1/4. Fold it in half and then fold the card front back as shown in the photos below.  The Gorgeous Grape layers are 1 7/8 X 5 1/4 for the front and inside left; and 4 X 5 1/4 for the right side.  Cut a 1 inch strip off the top of the DSP to use on another project, then cut 2 pieces, each 1 3/4 wide from the left side (the tre...

Hello Happy Sea Turtle Card

-
Image
 Hi Stamping Friend, The card I have for you this week is the second of three I designed for the swap using products from the new January-April 2023 Mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure. I paired the Sea Turtle and Happy Labels stamp sets from the mini catalog with Delicate Edges dies and Texture Chic DSP from the annual catalog. To me they seem made for each other.  This card is really quite simple if you have the basic tools. The DSP makes a perfect background. The turtle is fussy cut, the "seaweed" is die-cut. I gave the seaweed & turtle some dimension by using my bone folder to add some curl to the paper. The turtle is popped up with dimensionals, the seaweed is adhered with Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, but I played with it, making sure some areas were slightly raised off the paper so it looks like it could be moving in the water. What do you think?   Thanks for stopping by, Live Long & Craft On! -Susan 🌄🖖 Product List Sea Turtle Photo...
