Two-Color Cutest Crew

I apologize that the next few posts are using that darling Cutest Crew Bundle - which IS still available in the online store. I found this delightful 2-color card using Pecan Pie and Poppy Parade. I just love this color combination! Again, I used 2 color "brown" Blends color combinations to color the puppies - however, instead of Pecan Pie, which was a little too dark, I used our new Golden Glow! It's perfect!! I also used a soon-to-be-released (Sept 1) Embossing Folder, Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder. This is just adorable!

Measurements:

Pecan Pie : 1/2 sheet, 4 " x 5 1/4"
Poppy Parade: 1" x 5 1/2", scraps
Basic White: 3 1/4" square (circle), 1 1/4" x 4 1/4" (stamped image), scrap, 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)

To Make this Card:

Run Pecan Pie layer through new Embossing Folder. Adhere to folded Pecan Pie card base.
Die cut largest Stylish Shapes Die circle from square of White. Adhere to front of card.
Die cut 2 "decorative strips" from Poppy Parade, along with 2 "sets" of "butterflies".
Trim the 2"decorative strips "to approximately 4 1/4" (so they don't hang off the card base.) Set aside.
Stamp "puppies" onto strip of White. Color with Blends as shown. Add contrasting Poppy Parade accents as you can. Die cut.
Stamp sentiment in Poppy Parade ink. Die cut with Banner from Stylish Shapes Dies.
Ok. Now, to arrange this onto the circle.
I started with the 2 "decorative strips". Attach them near the bottom 1/2 of the circle, criss-crossing them, a little "tighter" to the Right, because I added the sentiment a little off-center and to the right. You can play with this to give you the look that appeals to you.
I then added the sentiment over the strips with Dimensionals.
Next, add the "puppies". They almost go across the center of the circle. I attached them with Dimensionals.
Finish by adding the larger "butterflies" to the open areas of the circle with Glue Dots, as well as Pecan Pie dots from the Earthy Matt Dots.

Hydrangea Hue Phrases & Frames

This card is so simple, and yet, so stunning! It features the Phrases & Frames Impressions Dies and the gorgeous Bloom Boutique DSP, all layered together for a beautiful card! This would be awesome in all of the 5 new InColors. So quick to make, and great to have on hand!

Measurements:

Hydrangea Hue (N): 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4 1/4", 5/8" x 4"
Bloom Boutique DSP (N): 3 3/8" x 4 7/8"
Basic White: 4 3/8" x 5 3/4", 2" x 3", 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)

To Make this Card:

Center and adhere DSP piece to folded Hydrangea Hue card base.
Next, die cut and "impress" the 3 "frames". To do that, die cut each "frame". Try to leave the cut image in the die. Switch "sandwich" for Impressing" (it's on the Impressions Plate packaging.) Flip the "frame" over, add the Impressions Plate (it's really a silicone mat) and 3D Embossing Plate. Easy peasy, and oh so cool!
Place Dimensionals (I used Foam Adhesive Strips and they are a little high.) on the largest "frame". Adhere to front of card, you should not see any cut edges of the DSP.
Now, add the next "frame" in Hydrangea Hue "frame".
Lastly, I added the smallest "frame" with Dimensionals. Leave the center oval until you've stamped your sentiment in Hydrangea Hue ink. The coordinating stamps are just perfect for this little oval!
Place Dimensionals on the Oval, and place in the center of the "frame".
Finish inside with White layer, and DSP strip.
Finish the front with small Hydrangea Hue Ribbon bow, and scattered InColor Dots.

Tiered Wiper Card

One of my customers asked me if I knew how to do this card! I had recently seen several of these, but had never done one myself. So, I set out to do so! There is a fair amount of cutting and measuring, but it is actually pretty easy to put together. And, oh so fun to make! These are pretty popular right now! Thanks to Lisa Cursio for the graphic. I will definitely have to make one in class and/or club!!

Measurements:

Pool Party: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", 4 1/4" x 4 1/2", 4 1/4" x 3 1/2", 4 1/4" x 2 1/2"; 3 pcs @ 1 1/8" x 6 3/4" (mechanisms); 3 pcs @ 3/8" x 2 1/2" (pop outs), 3" circle
Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP: 4" x 5 1/4", 4" x 4 1/4", 4" x 3 1/4", 4" x 2 1/4". 5/8" x 4" (strip - back)
Basic White: 4"x 5 1/4" (back); 3" square (stamped circle), scraps (animals)

To Make this Card:

Adhere corresponding DSP papers to the matching Pool Party bases. Set aside.
Now to create the 3 "mechanisms".
First score each piece at 3/4"- 3" - 3 3/4" - 6". Crease well.
You'll also need to mark a score "V's" along the 3 3/4" score line. First, make a pencil mark down 5/8". Then, make a pencil mark 1/2" from either side of the 3 3/4" score line. Draw a score line from each 1/2" ticks on the side down to the 1/2" tick on the score line, creating a "V". (See diagram)
Place Tear n Tape on one 3/4" end, then overlap with the other 3/4 end creating a "rectangle". Repeat for other 2 "mechanisms".
Lastly, tuck/crease the "V" score lines to the inside of the "rectangle". Crease really well.
Next, we'll add the "Pop Outs".
Take one mechanism, and lay it on the table with the "V" side up. Place a glue dot, or 2, on the "left" side of the "V", then take one of the Pop Outs and place the short end onto the glue dot with the narrow cut edge on the score line, and the long side even with the top, cut edge. Repeat for the other "mechanisms".
Now, to add the "mechanisms" to the card bases.
Place Tear n Tape on the long sides of the "rectangles".
Start with the largest base. Line up the back side of the mechanism to the right side and bottom of the base, adhere. Then, take the next base, and adhere to the other long side of this mechanism - the one with the "V". Also, lining this up with the outside edge and the bottom of the base. Continue until all 4 bases are together. Give it a try! Too fun!
Now to add the actual "Pop Outs"! For this one I used the animals in the Wild Bunch set. Stamp all 4 images, color, and cut out.
Choose 3 and adhere them to the strips that are sticking out. making sure nothing extends. Trim the "strips" showing beyond the images, as needed.
You'll notice that the last one extends WAY above the cut edge of the front, so we need to design the front piece to hid that.
For this one, I cut one White circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, and one Pool Party layer from the Spotlight on Nature Circles. To that I stamped words in black, and added the last stamped image. Adhere to the front, hiding the pop out image.
For the back, I added a White piece to write on. There's a strip of DSP at the bottom, and stamped and colored images for added effect.
Finish the front with the Array of Dots.
