12 Days of Gift Card Holders – Day 4

December 15, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday!

Did you see my post for Create with Connie and Mary earlier?

You are not seeing double and it’s not a repeat post! I created a pop up gift card holder using the same card idea that I created earlier, but its reversed –

Cute, huh?

Look at it opened –

Nice, nice, nice! It holds a gift card!!!

Now, just how did I do that, you are asking?

Well, let me see if I can explain how in a few pictures.

Directions for pop up –

cut 2 pieces 5 x 5
score both at 1/2, 1 3/4, 2 3/4, and 4
fold over to create 2 ‘boxes’ using Tear & Tape on the 1/2 side
boxes will be taller on one side, adhere boxes using Tear & Tape on the tall side together only on the ends
open folded card, fold boxes together flat, adhere just a hair past the inside score line when opened centered (you will adhere the short sides together on the bottom)

close card a few times and flatten
adhere inside tall portion of boxes to top of card using Tear & Tape all the way down on top and bottom

closing the card will make the boxes stick top the top of the card

card will fit in between the two boxes and stand up when opened
decorate the front of the card

Whew. Makes sense? Please ask if you need help! I prefer tutorial pictorials – no long video to stop and start repeatedly! Lol!

This is a wonderful addition to learn because you can add this to any card you’ve already made to make it a pop up gift card holder!

Happy Tuesday Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our newest 2-week sketch –

Optional Theme : Cozy Patterns

I soo loved this challenge this week! The layout and the theme!

I went with a fall thank you card –

I started with the THANKS from the Warm Hearted stamp set in Cherry Cobbler.

The wood-look Designer Series Paper strip from the Country Lane pack and flanks the nicely detailed Tin Tile embossed pane .

The Sprig punched pieces add such a lovely, cozy, warm feel to the card. I love it. This card will be hard to part with!

A Country Home Hello

September 20, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge!

I’m playing around with wonderful fall stuff today –

I really love this popular Country Home stamp set! At first, it didn’t catch my eye. But, the more I saw cards made with it, I decided I just had to purchase it!

I stamped the pitcher first, then the flowers over the top.

While that dried, I embossed the new Galvanized Metallic paper using the new Tin Tile Dynamic embossing folder. It goes virtually unnoticed in the catalog. Its found on the same page as the other items in this collection.

I framelit cut the oval. The flowers were colored using Blends and regular markers! Love the combination here.

Create with Connie and Mary gave us this sketch for inspiration this week –

The Design Team created some beautiful cards using it. Check them out!

Show off your cards on our Facebook page too!
