Get Well Card and Cute Gift Pouch

 Hi Everyone,


As many of you may know, I've been struggling with my mojo for a while so I thought I would try a sketch challenge and combine it with a little gift pouch that Sam Hammond Donald showed us how to make at our recent craft retreat in Birmingham. I have a friend who is not feeling well so I've made her a get well card and a little treat pouch.

Materials

1 piece of starry sky card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", 1 piece 6" x 7"
1 piece of basic white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 1 1/2" x 4 1/4", 1 piece 2" square to die cut circle, scrap for the tag
1 piece of dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 3 1/2" x 5", 1 piece 1 1/2" x 3 7/8", 2 pieces 3 1/4" x 2 3/4"
Scrap of ribbon
Lovely You stamp set
Starry Sky ink
Daffodil Delight ink
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Stylish Shapes dies
Tailor Made Tags dies
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Bone Folder
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Mini glue dots

Instructions

This is the sketch that I followed, I have changed the measurements slightly to use up some of the scraps of white card on my desk.


On the long side score the larger piece of starry sky at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the first three layers of dsp on the card front.

Stamp a design on the 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of white using the blue and yellow and small flowers from the Lovely You stamp set.  On the 2" square piece, stamp the sentiment and some flowers and then die cut with the 1 1/2" circle die.  Add both of these pieces to the card front using dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment and some flowers on the remaining large piece of white for the inside of card and adhere in place.

Treat Pouch

Score the starry sky piece on the long side at 3 1/2" and then turn and score on the short side at 3".

Fold and burnish the score lines and then cut as shown, either on the trimmer or with paper snips, whichever you prefer.

Flip it over and secure the ribbon across the centre of the top section as shown and add the dsp over the top to keep it in place.



Flip back to the other side and add a mini glue dot in the centre of each section and add the tea bag and biscuit as shown.


Fold the triangles up and close the pouch and tie the ribbon in a knot.

Die cut a small tag and stamp a sentiment on it, attach to the ribbon and then tie a bow as shown.

Thanks to Sam for the Treat Pouch instructions and I hope that you like my card and gift.

Gingham Cottage Butterfly Kisses Faux Stepper Card

 Hi Everyone,



Today I have made a cute Faux Stepper Get Well Card using the lovely Gingham Cottage and Butterfly Kisses designer series papers and the Lovely You stamp set. This is a really simple fun fold and because it's a faux stepper card, it doesn't involve any complicated cutting and scoring. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1piece of night of navy card 4 1/8" x 10", 1 piece 3" x 8 1/4"
1 piece of basic white 4" x 3 1/4", scrap for the sentiment
1 piece of Gingham Cottage dsp 4" x 3 1/4", 1 piece 4" x 1 3/8", 1 piece 1/2" x 4"
1 piece of Butterfly Kisses dsp 2 3/4" x 5"
Double Oval Punch
Lovely You stamp set
Night of Navy ink
Basic Rhinestones
Take Your Pick Tool
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Bone Folder
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the large piece of navy card at 1 1/2", 3" and 6 1/2" and fold and burnish into an M shape. Score the other piece at 3" and fold to make a tent shape (the back will be shorter than the front).


Add the 1 3/8" x 4" strip of dsp to the front section and then the larger piece to the section behind.  Add the Butterfly Kisses dsp to the long section of the other navy piece.

Add the 1/2" strip of dsp to the basic white layer  and then add to the inside of the card. You can also stamp a sentiment on this piece if you like.

Add dimensionals to the wrong side of the tent fold at the bottom, line it up with the bottom of the M shape card and making sure it's in the centre, press into place.  Add glue to the inside of the shorter section and adhere this on the back of the card.

Stamp a sentiment and then punch out with the small oval and add with a dimensional to the card front.

Sprinkle some bling and the card is complete. I hope that you like it.

Perfectly Pencilled Notebook - Stampin' Birds 3D Thursday

Hi Everyone,




It's another Birds challenge today and this time I have made a covered notebook with a holder for a pen using the lovely perfectly pencilled dsp and the Lovely You stamp set.  This dsp is great for colouring and I've used Stampin' Blends, it's just a small amount for this so didn't take long. These are great for customer gifts, teacher gifts and craft fairs, I used to sell lots of these when I did craft fairs. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials


Mini notebook (I have used one which is 4" tall x 3 1/4" wide)
Mini gel pen or pencil (upto 4" tall)
1 piece of basic black cardstock 4" x 7 5/8"
1 piece of  Perfectly Pencilled dsp 3 3/8" x 3 3/4" (for the back)
1 piece Perfectly Pencilled dsp 3" x 3 3/4" (for the front)
Scraps of cardstock for the sentiment
Lovely You stamp set
Double Oval Punch
Polished Pink Stampin' Blends
Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends
Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends
Polished Pink ink
Classic Matt Dots
Trimmer
Bone folder
Paper Snips
Multipurpose Adhesive
Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the basic black at 3 5/8", 4" and 4 3/8" and then fold and burnish the score lines.

Fold in half on the centre score line and make two cuts about 1" apart from the fold to the score line - this is for the pen. Fold as in the picture to pop out the pen holder and then  adhere the bottom layer down and slide the pen in to keep in place.


Add some adhesive to the back of the pad and adhere in place on the inside of the little holder.

Add the dsp layer to the back and then colour in the images for the front piece and adhere in place.  

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and punch out with the smaller oval and layer up on a scalloped black oval and add to the front of the notebook with dimensionals.

Add some matt black dots for decoration and it's complete, I hope that you like it. Please pop over and see what Donna and Victoria have made too:
