Double Z-Fold Card Petals & Paisleys with Cookie Cutter Halloween and Paisleys & Posies

9/23/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today's cards were inspired by all the Double Z-Fold cards I've been seeing all over the web. Since all the cards I've come across were Christmas or Halloween, I decided to make a fall/thank you one.  These cards will be made at my upcoming Card Club next week.  I paired the Cookie Cutter Halloween with the new Paisleys & Petals DSP.  I wasn't sure if I'd like this paper, but after putting all together, it really screams fall.

There so many tutorials out there showing how to make the Double Z-fold cards. I started with a piece of cardstock cut to 4 1/4x11 and then scored at 5 1/2 and  2 3/4. I used Soft Suede. Then I cut another piece of cardstock to 1 x 11 and scored that 5 1/2 and 2 3/4.
The layers are Very Vanilla 2 at 2 1/2x4 and 1 at 4 x 5 1/4. I cut 2 pieces of DSP to 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 and 3 3/4x5.
I also cut Very Vanilla at 3/4 x 5 1/4 and 2 at 3/4 x 2 1/2. These strips go across the front of the 1x11 strip.

I stamped 4 scarecrows colored them with matching colors to the DSP and punched them out with the Cookie Builder punch.

I stamped the greeting from Acorny Thanks in Cajun Craze and then I stamped to small leaves in Delightful Dijon from the Vintage Leaves set and cut them out with the matching framelits.

The second Z-fold card everything is the same, except I didn't make the leaves, instead I stamped a little posie, I think that's what it would be called from the Paisleys & Posies stamp set. HMMM not sure which I like better
Picture
The Paisleys & Poises cards are just a simple layered card using a base of Mint Macaron, and the flower layers 1/4" smaller: Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy and the Petals & Paisleys DSP.
Before attaching the DSP I add a piece of the new Mint Macaron Ribbon fount in the Paisleys suite.
I cut out 3 leaves from the Paisleys Framelits (Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy) and wow Copper. It just adds a pop!!!
The greeting is also from the Paisleys & Petals stamp set stamped in Delightful Dijon on Very Vanilla.

Simple card but big WOW factor. Love it and I hope you do too!!!

Calendar Countdown

I came across a tutorial on how to make these supercute calendar countdowns on a Demonstrator Facebook Group. I saved the post with every intentional of making one. 

When I showed my friend, she was like lets make them! OMG I am so happy with the results. I made 2 one for myself and one for my mom. My friend made one for herself. We had fun decorating! While I stuck closer to the original design, my friend changed hers up a little. Either way they came out awesome!!!

You can find the details on them measurements and assembly by visiting Melissa's Stouts website or clicking on Calendar Countdown.

Not into Halloween, no worries, Melissa has a sample of one made for the holidays using the Candy Cane Lane suite from Stampin Up. This calendar doesn't have to be a countdown but it can easily be made with an everyday day theme to have displayed for a general monthly calendar.

Love It

Floral Phrases and Detailed Floral Thinlits Wedding Card

9/20/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
I recently had a wedding to attend for a very special couple. And I knew as soon as I saw this bundle in the Annual Catalog, that they were the perfect products to use!

I decided to use Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla Cardstock. I chose these colors because the wedding invitation used similar colors as well.

I was inspired by all the cards I saw on Pinterest. So you may have seen something like this already.

It was a little tricky at first and too me a few attempts to get the card just right. 
I used a 4 1/4x 11 sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock on the left side I used the large floral thinlit and edge and made sure it was as close to the edge as possible when running through Big Shot.  Then I used the small floral thinlit and edge on the right side, make sure I was cutting on the correct side (so when folding you see the rightside of the diecut).I cut a piece of Very Vanilla to 4 x 5 1/4 and centered it between the diecuts and adhere it down. Once I did that, I that folding the left and right sides in.
There may be an easier way to do this, but that is what I did to create my card.

I stamped the greetings and flower in Crumb Cake ink and lightly colored the flower with the Gold Wink of Stella.

I also created a little tag to hang with Gold Floss. I just stamped and cut each layer with the circle punches.

The Crumb Cake Seam Binding ribbon, is not retired, but it was perfect to use on this card.

I hope you like it
Thanks for stopping by

 This month's projects were inspired by my oldest daughter, who is 12 1/2. She knows I always make a quick back to school treat and she asked me to make her something that wasn't so "kiddish"! OH BOY!!! Where did my baby go??? She told me she likes all my goodies, but wanted something she can bring to school and have her friends, really, really want it too!!! Well, I get it, she's a pre-teen, fitting in is so important! But hmmm a few more years of her enjoying the little things would be OK too!!!!
Picture

Sooo, I had to truly make sure she wouldn't be embarrassed and be proud to show her friends what I made her!  Ok well she is 7th grade and her supply list included LOTS of notebooks Composition Books. Then remembered I had purchased a few Composition books awhile back, with the intention of making teacher gifts. Well that didn't happen.  So I decorated one for her.
This is what I came up with. Definitely not the traditional back to school treats you'd find on Pinterest. But I am extremely happy with the results and my daughter absolutely LOVED it! She's was beaming and super excited to bring to school. I can't wait to hear what her friends think.

Ok I took an ordinary Composition book and covered the outside front cover and back cover using the By the Shore DSP. I used two sheets of 12x12 and cut them down to 7x 9 3/4. I rounded to corners to match the notebook. Before gluing the paper down, I adhered about 16" of the Mint Macaroon Mini Striped Ribbon and the same of the Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon. I repeated this on the back cover. Then I adhered the paper down.
I decided to make a little pocket for the inside of the notebook to hold pens/pencils or notes. I just love the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and Writing Notes stamp. Perfect! I cut 2 sets of the mini treat bags in Whisper White. I stamped the Writing Notes with Dapper Denim. I am making two treat bags, one that will be the pocket for the notebook and one that will be my daughter's card.

Don't you just hate when you stamp and everything is perfect except for a smudge ahhh. Well I decided to cover the smudge rather than starting over!  I used the colors in the DSP which were Dapper Denim, Calypso Coral and Mint Macaroon.  I cut a few 1" strips and used the Triple Banner Punch to flag the ends. Stapled them to the treat bag. I grabbed a handful of pencils and tied them together with the Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon.

The pocket looked a little bare, so I used the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set. Stamped the circle, flower and sentiment and punched it out with the 2" circle punch!

Now for the cover; I decided to use the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, I cut out a few flowers, hearts and butterflies. The "for you" is from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.  I also doubled each flower/heart and butterfly to use on her card, as well, so I wouldn't have to do it later. Finished off the front with some Basic Rhinestones.
 Love it!!!!
To make the card was pretty simple as well!  Since I pretty much prepped the card as I was doing the notebook, it was more or less just assembling. I also added the Marquee Messages stamp set to the card.

I made the inside a notecard she can pull out. I used Dapper Denim as my base, with a layer of DSP and Whisper White.

I stamped, in Dapper Denim, "so proud of you" at the bottom of Whisper White. I added the butterfly and some Basic Rhinestones.

I cut a strip of Calypso Coral and flag it at both ends, folded it in half. I also add a piece of the Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon and stapled onto the top of the notecard so it can be used to pull the notecard out.

Before adhering the flowers, I stamped the YOU ARE at the top of the treat bag. I glued the flowers/heart/butterfly down.  The Awesome sentiment was stamped on a piece of Whisper White and each end was flagged, I added Basic Rhinestones, and attached with Dimensionals.

I really love how the projects came out! Best of all I had a very happy 12 1/2 year old!

I hope you enjoyed them too.
Thanks for joining me in the Blog Hop

Sunshine Wishes and Cookie Cutter Halloween

9/11/2016

Look at these amazing cards??? I often get asked where I come up with my ideas. Inspiration is everywhere. I rely alot on the catalogs for ideas as well as Pinterest. Sometimes I need to see something used. And then I create my own. Othertimes, I come across ideas that are awesome and well, why would I need to change anything. 

That was the case for this week's cards.  I typically host my Card Club every other week. But this month I had 2 weeks back to back because of school starting, so I would continue with my bi-weekly schedule. 

The Sunshine Wishes cards, came right from page 97 in the Annual Catalog. Simple to make but full of detail! 
The Cookie Cutter Halloween cards (new set in the Holiday Catalog) were CASED from Pinterest and Splitcoaststampers by Diane Hughes. I just loved everything about this card and decided to not change a thing!!!

Would you like to learn how to make them??  ​Make sure you come by my Card Club.
I am offering 2 dates (one evening and one morning) for your convenience. September 13th at 7pm or September 14th at 9am. Pick whichever date works for you!!!

​Be sure to RSVP by Monday the 12th. Check out my Facebook page or my Stampin UP website for event details.

​Need a catalog? Please contact me and I'll be sure to send you one.

​Happy Stampin
