Pressed Petals Square Card

Hi Everyone,

I just love this beautiful designer series paper, it needs hardly any embellishment, it speaks for itself.  I hope that you like it and will give it a try.

1 piece so saffron card stock 6" x 12", score and fold at 6"

1 piece of dsp 5 1/2" square

1 piece of contrasting dsp 5" square

1 2" stitched square to match the 5 1/2" mat layer

1 1 5/8" stitched square in so saffron for the sentiment

Early Espresso ink

A Big Thank You stamp set

So saffron ink

Layering squares dies

Die cutting machine

Scoreboard

Bone folder

Trimmer

Dimensionals

Adhesive

Instructions

Stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card, I have used early espresso ink and so saffron ink to stamp a few flowers on the inside for some added decoration.

Adhere the 5 1/2" mat to the front of the card and then lay the 5" piece in the centre of that layer leaving a border all around the edge.

Cut out the two squares with the layering square dies and then stamp a sentiment on the so saffron layer. Adhere the two together with dimensionals and then add them to the centre front of the card also with dimensionals.

A very quick and simple card which lets the dsp do the talking, give it a try.

Happy crafting,

Perfectly Plaid Gift Tags in Box

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to show you how to make some gift tags and I've made a little box to put them in so that you can give them away as gifts or you can sell them on your craft stalls.  I hope you like them and will give them a try.

Materials

1 piece of  cherry cobbler card stock 6" x 4", scored at 1/2" all the way around

1 piece of  cherry cobbler card stock 6 1/16" x 4 1/16", scored at 1/2" all the way around

6 x strips of thick whisper white 2" x 4"
Scrap of whisper white for the sentiment on the box

1 piece of Wrapped in Plaid dsp 2 7/8" x 4 7/8"

Scrap of gold foil to punch out the tree shape

Ribbon or bakers twine for the tags

Perfectly Plaid stamp set

Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set

Clear block

Cherry Cobbler ink

Scoreboard

Trimmer

Tag topper punch

Pine Tree punch

Detailed Trio punch

Multipurpose adhesive

Instructions

Fold and burnish the score lines on the large pieces of card stock and then cut tabs at each of the four corners to make a box. Remember, the lid is 1/16" bigger,, so when folded and glued, should easily fit over the base to close the box.

Decorate the lid with the piece of dsp and then punch out a gold foil tree and add to the centre of the box.

Take the 2" strips of whisper white and punch one end with the tag topper punch and round the corners of the other end with the detailed trio punch. If required, stamp the To/From image on one side of the tag using the cherry cobbler ink.

Stamp the tree image and the sentiment to the front of the tag and repeat on all 6 tags. Stamp a sentiment to add to the front of the box and adhere in place.

Thread a piece of ribbon or bakers twine through the hole at the top of the tag and place the tags inside the box.

Six, simple tags which will look lovely on your parcels on Christmas morning, give them a try.

Happy Crafting,

Karen XX

Brightly Gleaming meets Perfectly Plaid

Hi Everyone,

This time I have combined two suites to bring you this card to show you the versatility of Stampin'Up products.  I have used the designer series paper from Brightly Gleaming with the sentiments and trees from Perfectly Plaid. I hope you agree, they make very pretty cards and I hope that you will give them a try.

Materials

1 piece of  whisper white card stock measuring 7" x 10" and folded in half to give a landscape tent fold card

1 piece of  Brightly Gleaming dsp 4 7/8" x 6 7/8"

Scraps of whisper white and copper foil for the embellishments and sentiments

Pine Tree Punch

Perfectly Plaid stamp set

Old olive ink

2 layering oval dies (mine are from my crafty stash)

Die cutting machine

Dimensionals

Clear blocks

Trimmer

Scoreboard

Bone folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Instructions

Fold and burnish your card stock to make the base. 

Adhere the dsp to the front of the card leaving a tiny border all around the edge

Stamp two trees and two sentiments on your scrap of whisper white using old olive ink. Punch out the trees with the pine tree punch and cut out the sentiment using the smaller of the two oval dies. Then punch one tree from copper foil and cut out the larger oval in copper foil.

Stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card in old olive ink.

Arrange the trees on the card front, I have glued the stamped images and raised the foil one up on dimensionals.  Adhere the sentiment to the larger foil oval and then adhere to the front of the card using dimensionals.

Easy cards with a very effective look.  Here are pictures of other colour combinations that I have tried.

Happy crafting,

1 piece of whisper white card stock 2" x 5 3/4" 

Pine tree punch

Hammered metal 3D embossing folder

Gold foil scrap for the tree

Scraps of cherry cobbler and whisper white for the sentiment squares

Cherry cobbler ink

Perfectly plaid stamp set

Stitched square dies

Die cutting machine

Instructions

Fold and burnish the card stock on the 4 1/8" scoreline and then fold the 1 7/8" score back to make the z shape.

Stamp a sentiment on the whisper white inside piece and then adhere it  in place behind the fold.

Adhere the two dsp pieces that are the same pattern in place as shown in the finished card and add the contrasting one to the front flap.

Emboss a scrap of gold foil with the hammered embossing folder and then punch out with the pine tree punch.

Cut out two squares, the larger one in cherry cobbler to lie as a mat to the sentiment on the whisper white layer.

Stamp a sentiment on the whisper white layer and then layer then together with dimensionals and add them to the front flap of the card also with dimensionals.  Add the tree below the sentiment and adhere with dimensionals.

There you go, another simple but effective Christmas card for you to try, please give it a try and i would love to see your pictures.
