Sweet Blooms Calendar Anniversary Card

-

 Hi Crafting Friend,

I still have a few calendars with self-adhesive strips left over from the bunch that I ordered in January from Vippies.com. They measure 2 7/8" X 2 1/4." You can also get similar ones from Amazon. I like using them for anniversary cards because I can circle the date, and the recipient has something they can use for the rest of the year.                   

Here's how it was made. . . 

CARD BASE:

  1. Wild Wheat cardstock - 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score, fold and burnish at 4 1/4" on the long side. Cut another piece of cardstock 5 1/2" X 3" score at 1/2"(valley fold), 1 1/2" (mountain fold) and 2 1/2" (valley fold) It will look like a "W" when finished. Adhere the outside of the 1/2" portions to the inside, front and back of the card, keeping the folds flush with the bottom of the card. This provides a stable base to display the card.

INSERT:

  1. Basic White cardstock - 5 1/4" X 4" Adhere to the back of the card base so you have a place to write your message.
CARD FRONT:

  1. DSP layer - 5 1/4" X 4" 
  2. Basic White cardstock - 4" X 5 1/2" Stamp "lovely" with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die-cut using Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Die-cut one more and adhere under the first one (with the stamped word) Ink the die-cut word with a Sponge Dauber and Wild Wheat ink. Adhere to the upper right corner of the DSP layer. 
  3. Stamp "hello" & "have a" to the left of "lovely," then stamp "day" below and to the right of the "Y" in "lovely" using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
  4. Adhere the DSP layer to the card front, then adhere the calendar to the bottom left of the DSP layer.
All products (except the stamps & dies) are linked below. The Stamps and dies are pictured and the item numbers are given, but they will not work until May 6th when the new catalog goes live.

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...
