CrissCross Card

Happy Monday, hope you had a good weekend. It was beautiful here Saturday but Sunday we had quite a bit of rain including some thunder and lightning. One good thing about the rain was that the pool received some water it needed!

Today I’m featuring a crisscross card featuring the Celebrate Everything 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, a $18 value host reward.

Here are specifics on how to make the card:

  • 2 pieces of card stock 4¼” x 11″, scored at 5½”
  • With one piece cut from the score to the bottom left and on the other from the score to the bottom right.
  • Next, adhere the two pieces together in the center so the sides crisscross in the front
  • designer series paper is 4″ x 5½” cut corner to corner (make sure to watch the direction of pattern if there is one – you may need to use two pieces of designer paper if there is a directional pattern)

 

For the outside of the card, I’ve used a greeting from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set, inside greeting is from Peaceful Moments stamp set. Any greeting that fits the circle and inside works just fine.

Next, the belly band is ½” wide and used to keep the card closed. Decorate as desired. I used 2 Label Me Lovely Punch pieces – one on either side of the belly band for added strength

Finally, another view of the card.

Below are the Sale-a-Bration Level 1 ($50USD) and Level 2 ($100 USD) items.

Simple card design

Hope everyone had a nice weekend, the temperatures here were more like fall than summer. I’m sure hoping we have some warmer weekends again, while I did get in the pool Saturday, Sunday was way to cool and I really enjoy my pool time.

Recently Stampin’ Up! shared a card I just loved the layout on and wanted to share it with you.

The first card I made was before I saw the measurement posted by Stampin’ Up! and I used the Rings of Love 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration level 1 free selection) and the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The first layer of designer paper is adhered directly to the card front at an angle. The second layer has a cut out and is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Greeting is on a die cut one or two sizes smaller.  If you have circle punches, you can even use those to create the card.

The measurements Stampin’ Up! used for the cards they shared below. This is a fun and easy card to make!

Measurements for Designer Series Paper:

  • Bottom layer – 3½” x 4½”
  • Top layer – 3″ x 4″

Splendid Thoughts Mash Up!

Today is a mash up of two card designs. I’ve used left over pieces from one of my July Sunday Stamper cards and part of a card layout I saw on Pinterest.

Card features:

  • Splendid Thoughts Bundle
  • Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper
    • 2 pieces 1½” x 3″
    • 1 piece 1½” x 4″
  • Basic White card stock mat 4″ x 5¼” run through Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder
  • Die cuts using Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Thick Basic White card stock
  • Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon
  • Double Oval Punch for greeting
For added depth I’ve used Soft Sea Foam ink and a Blending Brush to add color to the Basic White mat after I embossed it and to the oval with the greeting. Iridescent Rhinestones added the perfect bling to finish the card.

Happy Birthday Pop-Up!

Happy Birthday John!

Today one of my friends has a birthday today and I thought I would share the card I made and sent him with you.

The card is a bookbinding fun fold featuring:

  • Brewed for You Bundle
  • He’s the Man 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper
  • Pop-out in the center from a 6″ x 6″ square of designer series paper

To make a bookbinding card take your standard 4¼” x 11″ card base, score at 4¼ and 5½” once you crease the scores adhere between the two scores to the inside, you are left with a 4¼” x 4¼” on the front and inside to decorate.

 

For the inside I added a “50” from the retired Playful Alphabet Dies as I wanted to make sure to remind him of his birthday years!

Finally, to create the pop-up, score 2 sides of the designer series paper at 3″ then corner to corner  only for one diagonal. Next, fold in the diagonal scores and flatten. It’s easier to adhere the back to the card base, then the front of the designer paper.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope these projects have inspired you to try paper crafting. When you decide to place an order for Stampin’ Up! products, I would appreciate your business.

Best Witches Stamp Set

Today I thought I would highlight the Best Witches stamp set along with the Silver & Gold 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, which is free with a $50 USD product purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

During one of my Sunday Stamper events, it was mentioned now nice it would look to color the paper with ink before adding the focal image – so today that is what I did – thanks, Theresa for the suggestion.

Colors for the background:

  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Parakeet Party
  • Gorgeous Grape

When I added the colored witches I fussy cut out, I added a Hampton Art “Action Wobbles” Mini Action Springs from Amazon behind them so that they move around – a really cool effect on the card.

My first card uses blending brushed on the background.

For the second card, I’ve swiped the ink pad across the designer paper.  Both methods worked well for me.

What colors would you use on the background?
