Sweet Ice Cream Bundle

Treat Yourself

June 14, 2021 · 1 Comment

Hello Monday! Hello stampin’ friends!

How about a new challenge from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge –

I had a lot of fun with this sketch –

I started with this now retired, Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper and used the diagonal pattern as per the sketch.

I ran a piece of Polished Pink card stock through the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. When I used the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punched and punched the ice cream scoop, it created a real look of ice cream!

The cone was also punched from the same punch and stamped afterwards giving some added visual texture.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in Polished Pink. The sentiment is from the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle –

This is such a sweet, must have bundle!

Please join our sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. We all use a variety of stamp supplies, so join us with whatever you have!

Fun Fold Fridays – Open Panel Card

May 21, 2021 · 2 Comments

Happy Friday!

Time to play with paper again in a fun way!

How about an Open Panel Card? Or two –

This is a clever card design because when you cut the pieces for it, you waste nothing!

The card base is 4 1/4″ x 11, scored at 5 1/2″. From one side of the card, cut at 3 3/4″. From that piece, cut another strip at 1 3/4″. You have 1 3/4″ strip at the top, 1 3/4″ for the bottom and the remaining 2″ piece for the vertical, connecting piece on the card. Here are my cuts –

As you can see, I added the pattern paper cuts too. That starts with a double sided piece, 4″ x 4 3/4″ (depending on the pattern) or rotated 4 3/4″ x 4″. Cut strips at 1 1/2″ and 1 3/4. This was a simple version with no added stuff on the panel.This one was stepped up with the ice cream on the panel.Both cards I stamped the same sentiment in the ‘window’.And added the Resin Hearts around it. The more detailed card, the white ones were colored with a Blends to make them match!

Both are adorable and so fun!

When the cards are opened, here is what they look like –You just have to remember where to write on them so it doesn’t show through the window on the front!

So Sweet Shaker

January 25, 2021 · 4 Comments

Hi my stampin’ friends!

I have some really sweet cards today!

See, soo sweet! These are shaker cards! I featured them on my Zoom meeting Sunday.

And soo easy to create!

This was the one we made together –

It used :

standard card base
a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of pattern paper
stamped sentiment
clear envelope
sequins or shaker pieces
tape
Tear & Tape or sticky strip (strong liner tape)

Basically, place the pattern paper in the envelope, seal towards the back. Add shaker pieces. Make sure pattern piece is against 2 of the edges. Seal envelope. Excess part of envelope, fold over to back and secure with tape. This creates a shaker front that can be adhered to the card base!

These are the envelopes I used, Medium Clear Envelopes –

And, the fill, Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles –

Here are couple more samples I created –

This one with has stamping and a strip of card stock on the inside –

These are all just as sweet as can be!

I used the Ice Cream Corner Suite in addition to the Medium Clear Envelopes –

It comes with everything but card stock!

What do you think? Ready to give these a try?

Fun Fold Fridays – Slide Up / Pop Up Gift Card Holder

January 8, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Yessssss, Friday! And the second week in my new Fun Fold Fridays!

I’m featuring a slide up or pop up gift card holder. Not sure what this fold is actually called, but for now, this will work!

I’ve seen this version in a vertical version all the time, but not a horizontal one. I created one a few weeks ago here, but didn’t include a tutorial until today.

Here is a sweet little birthday card using some new stuff! This is the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper that can be earned free during Sale-a-bration –

And see it opened –

Notice the (absent) gift card that would ‘pop up’ in the pocket?

This is the sweet pattern paper I used –

And, here is the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle –

Here is how I did it –

Yes, my Green Paper Tutorials!

Directions for basic card with fold :

Base – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 1 1/2″, 5 3/4″
Insert – 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 1/2″, 4″
on slide up, apply strong adhesive, like Tear & Tape, to 1/2″ strip
fold 1/2″ strip back
fold up bottom panel, set aside
on card base, use a strong adhesive on lower edges
fold score lines, top panel folds down, bottom panel folds up
place insert panel on top of card base, remove liner on insert
close card
the top of the card will ‘catch’ the top of the insert panel
open card
fold up insert
fold up card base over insert, open back up
remover liners
fold up card bottom panel enclosing the the insert
close top, then open to make insert slide up!
decorate as you like

Pretty cool, huh? I’ll venture to do a Facebook Live for this fold. It is really super easy, but I know some are visual, some are tactile.

I’d love to know what you think!
