Cake Soiree Gingham Birthday Card

Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Saturday! I hope you are all planning no doing some fun stuff this weekend? 

Me and Dave will be decorating and buy a new carpet... so not up there with the most exciting activities ever, but I suppose it's got to be done. Dave is playing golf tomorrow so I'm hoping to get a cheeky hour or so in the craft room then, but for today I will show you my bright birthday card using up some old and new Stampin Up Items. The Gingham Gala is in the new spring summer catalogue - and boy does it shout spring time....

Measurements:-

Whisper White Cardstock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1pc - 2 7/8" x 3 3/4"

Highland Heather Cardstock
1pc - 3" x 3 3/8"

Daffodil Delight Cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper.
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"


Create your card base but folding the daffodil delight cardstock along to score line and burnish. Add the large whisper white piece to the inside of the card, and the gingham piece to the front.

Stamp the cake image  & the birthday sentiment onto the smaller piece of whisper white. Once the ink has dried colour in with your watercolour pencils and use the blender pens to smooth out to colour and get rid of any harsh pencil lines.

Add the highland heather onto the card base offset, then place the stamped image piece on top of that offset in the other direction.

Big Wishes & Bloom by Bloom Birthday Card

Good Morning Everyone

Today I have a great card to share with you. Now you saw a card earlier in the week from me using the same stamp set and the coordinating DSP which is bright and bold. I wanted to show the versatility and the ability to use any colours to make a card or project work.

Measurements

Gray Granite Cardstock
1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scored at 4 1/8"

Very Vanilla Cardstock
1pc - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Blueberry Bushel Cardstock
1pc - 2 5/8" x 3 5/8"

Make up the card base from the gray granite and add the large very vanilla piece to the inside.

To create the background, stamp the two flower over the whole of the card front in gray granite ink, then add the centres to the largest flower with blueberry bushel in, then add the dots in to fill the space.

Ink up the Happy Birthday from the Big Wishes stamp set and stamp onto the very vanilla piece, but towards the top of the piece. Layer this onto the Blueberry Bushel.

Run two lengths of the grosgrain ribbon along to blank space and secure at the back of the card with a little but of snail. Add dimensionals and add to the centre of the card front. Place a rhinestone in the middle of each bow on the sentiment. Dot some wink of stella onto the centres of the smaller flowers.

All My Love Cute Thin gift Box

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are well. I wanted to crack out this suite today as I have been itching to use it and I thought that this would be a perfect Valentine's project. It measures 1" x 1 3/4" x 4 1/2", so you could fit all sorts of lovely goodies inside.

Measurements:

Flirty Flamingo Cardstock
1pc - 6" x 7"

All My Love Designer Series Paper
1pc - 1 5/8" x 7/8"
2pcs - 4 3/8" x 1 5/8"
2pcs - 4 3/8" x 7/8"

Take your piece of Flirty Flamingo and score on the long side at 1", 5 1/2" & 6 1/2" and then on the short side at  1", 2 3/4", 3 3/4" & 5 1/2". Fold and burnish the score lines with a bone folder. Then take your snips and cut away to create a piece like this:-

Put the top right hand flap into the corner rounder on the detailed trio punch - this will help the box close neater and easier.

Add your DSP panels and tear and tape ( I had to use red line tape and I couldn't find my tear and tape) to the card stock as below. Take the 1/2" circle punch and create a small thumb notch - this will help you open the box easier :-

Take the release paper from the long thin tab and fold around and adhere to the opposite edge. Remove the rest of the release paper and fold all the flaps in to close the base of your box.

Cut the second smallest oval from the Stitched shapes framelits from whisper white using the Big shot. Ink up the cluster of hearts in Flirty flamingo and stamp in the oval, then take the Love You sentiment and stamp over the hearts with Lovely Lipstick ink.

Add a small piece of snail to the front centre of the box, then wrap the grosgrain ribbon around three time. Load up the back of the oval with dimensionals and add to the box, covering the join of the ribbon.

Under the Mistletoe Christmas Scrap Card Challenge

Good Morning Everyone,

The temperature is starting to drop this week and I'm not happy - I don't like the cold. But hey ho, can't do anything about it - except wrap up super warm when I venture out.

Today's card is another challenge card, this time for The Perpetual Christmas Card Club over on Facebook. This group is brilliant, and the whole idea is to get you ahead and on top f your Christmas card, by having a challenge each week, you are encouraged to make a card and join in, then towards the end of the year you will have a good pile of Christmas Cards already to go... GENIUS.

This week's challenge is to use scraps, and this is my card.....

Measurements

Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper
1pc - 2 1/2" x 5 3/4"
1pc - 1" x 5 3/4"
1pc - 7/8" x 5 3/4"

Soft Suede Cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Real Red Cardstock
1pc - 2 1/4" x 1 1/4"

Shaded Spruce Cardstock
1pc - 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"

Whisper White Cardstock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1pc - 2" x 1"

** Please note that these measurements are just because they fit the card front and were straight from my scrap bin - you can change these up to utilise the pieces of scraps you have **

Create the card base by folding and burnishing the soft suede and add the large whisper white panel to the inside. Glue down the three DSP strips. I used snail, but you could use liquid glue, which would give you a little time to straighten out your strips if you are not 100% sure that you would get them lined up first time.

Stamp the sentiment in real red ink onto the whisper white, then layer this onto the real red and then the shaded spruce. Add this to the front of the card and you have finished.

This idea of using scraps is a brilliant was to get a lot of interest onto your card without using too many supplies and using up those smaller pieces you have laying around.
