Hand Penned Faux Centre Step Card - Ink, Stamp, Share Showcase

Hi Everyone,

I'm hopping today with the Ink, Stamp, Share group and I've made a Faux Centre Step Card. I saw Kelly Acheson make it a while ago on her YouTube channel. I thought I would give it a try and use up some of the Hand-Penned designer series paper that I have as it will soon retire and there will be lots of new goodies to play with. I teamed it with the Shaded Summer stamp set for a pretty thank you card.

Materials

1 piece of mint macaron card stock 4 1/4" x 10", 1 piece 2 3/4" x 8 1/2", 1 piece 1" x 2 1/2"

1 piece of basic white 3/4" x 2 1/4", 1 piece 3 1/4" x 4"

1 piece dsp 2 1/2" x 5 1/4", 1 piece 1 1/4" x 4", 2 pieces 3/4" x 3 1/4", 1 piece 3 1/4" x 4"

Highland Heather ink

Iridescent rhinestones

Piece of Highland Heather 1/2" ribbon

Mini glue dots

Dimensionals

Multipurpose adhesive

Shaded Summer stamp set

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Instructions

On the long side score the largest piece of mint macaron at 3 1/2", 7" and 8 1/2" and the smaller piece at 3", fold and burnish to make the base and the centre panel (see picture).

Add the small pieces of dsp to the sides and the front piece as seen in the picture. Add the dsp to the centre panel.

Now adhere this centre panel in place centrally on the front and on the back (see picture). Adhere the remaining dsp over the join on the back of the card.

Stamp a sentiment on the small piece of white card in highland heather ink and stamp the leaf image over the top in mint macaron but stamp it off once to make it paler. Adhere this strip to the mint macaron strip, add dimensionals to the back and add to the card front at the side as shown in the picture.

Stamp a sentiment and some leaves on the remaining piece of white card and add to the inside of the card.

Tie a small bow with the ribbon and add to the card front at the side of the sentiment as shown using mini glue dots. Add some of the rhinestones and the card is complete.

I hope that you like my card, please pop over and see what everyone else has made too.

Hand Penned Box of Gift Cards - Stamp 'n' Hop Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Today's theme for the blog hop is 'Packaging with Stampin' Up' and I have CASED an idea from Angelina at Intatwyne Designs from a few years ago. I wanted a double width box to put a stack of small gift cards in to have ready for adding to gifts for all occasions. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

Box

1 piece of misty moonlight card 9 1/8" x 8 1/4", 1 piece 7 15/16" x 4 3/16"

1 piece of dsp 6 3/8" x 3"

Blue adhesive backed gems

Scraps of card for sentiments

Fan Bakers Twine

Mini glue dots

Double Oval Punch

1 piece of thick basic white card 3" x 6" (per card)

1 piece of dsp 2 7/8" square (per card)

Scraps for sentiments

Multipurpose Adhesive

Ink to match

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Instructions

On the 8 1/4" side score at 7/8" at either end, then turn to 9 1/8" side and score at 7/8", 4 1/8", 5" and 8 1/4".

On the smaller piece on the long side, score at 3 1/4", 4" and 4 3/4" and then turn and score at 1/2" at both sides.

Cut up the tabs as shown in the pictures and then fold and burnish all the score lines

Add adhesive to the inside of all the tabs on the box and fold in the corners by bringing the cut edge and the folded tab edge together. You need to end up with four fixed corners for the bottom of the box and then just the front two for the lid to fold over the top (see picture).

For the insert, glue the two thin sections in the middle together, fold out the ends and then place inside the box on the bottom, you can leave this as a lift out section or adhere it in place.

Adhere the dsp layer to the box lid.

To make the cards, score in the middle at 3" and fold and burnish. Adhere the dsp layer to the front of the card.

I have used the scalloped part of the Double Oval to make my sentiment layers, I punched them out of white card and then stamped the sentiment from Dahlia Days using misty moonlight ink on all of them. I then punched out two in misty moonlight and arranged them on the back of one of the white ones to make a backing layer for the one for the front of the box.

Adhere the sentiment to the front of all the cards and the layered one on the box. I added a twine bow and some gems to the one on the box front.

I have punched a hole in the back of each of the cards and added a piece of twine so that the cards can be added to gifts. I made 8 cards to fit in my box but you could probably get 12 in there if you wanted.

I hope that you like my little gift idea. Please pop over and see what everyone else has been making too.
