Sweet Wooly Friends

I FINALLY got around to playing with the darling Wooly Friends from the current Mini Catalog! I have so many ideas, but I really liked this one in particular. And, I think it will be awesome for my Senior Center ladies! It's a cheery Flirty Flamingo with a double arch. And, that little sheep is just too darn cute!

Measurements:

Flirty Flamingo: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4 1/4" (arch)
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5", 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" (arch), scraps (sheep)
Made with Love DSP: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", 1/2" strip

To Make This Card:

Adhere card layers to front of folded Flirty Flamingo card base.
Die cut larger arch from Flirty Flamingo and next size from White.
Stamp "tulips" along bottom of White arch. Stamp an additional "tulip" to the far right.
Color in with Blends.
Stamp in Black ink and punch sheep body, sheep head, and bow. Color the bow and ears with Blends.
Add the sheep to the White arch between the "tulips" with Dimensionals.
Then, add the head and bow.
Stamp the cute little "butterfly" where it will fit. Color it in.
Add sentiment on the top.
Finish with a little Wink of Stella and Low Profile Dots.
Then, add to the front of card with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with White layer and strip of DSP.

Filled with Sweetness Floating Tent Card

Where have I been? I totally missed this Fun Fold when it was "making the rounds". It's called a Floating Tent Card or a Swinging Tent Fold. Anyway, I now know how to make it and it's really fun and easy! I saw this card, and directions by Mary Deatherage! We'll be making this one at Club on Saturday!!

Measurements:

Pecan Pie: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 4" x 4 1/4" (accordion fold), 1 1/2" x 2" (mechanism)
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (back), 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" (approx), scraps (stamped fruits)
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4" (blue gingham), various die cuts from DSP

To Make This Card:

Adhere Blue Gingham piece to folded Pecan Pie base. I used Multipurpose Glue so that the piece was adhered all over.
Next, die cut center of front from 3rd largest Branching Out Die. Set this aside.
While the base is still pretty flat, create back layer, by stamping sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink, and "strawberry" & "blueberries" in Memento Black ink, and color them in with Blends.
Then, add this to the back side of card.
Note: If desired, at this time you could also add a piece of DSP to the inside of your card. You don't see a whole lot of this, so I chose not to do this.
For the accordion "stand", score along the 4" side at 1/2" - 1 1/4" - 2" - 2 3/4" - 3 1/2".
Fold this piece in half, and then accordion fold, creasing well.
Next, adhere this to the inside of the card base, with the 1/2" section attached to the front and back, with the score line/crease even with the cut edge of the card base.
Now, to decorate the insert!
Fussy cut 2 "jars" of your choice, and one "honey bear"! This is a great time to use only a "partial" bear, as you won't see the entire thing!
Making sure your print matches up, start with the "honey bear" and then add the other 2 "jars" of your choice.
Stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink and die cut with one of the neat tags. Add to piece with Dimensionals.
You might want to add any embellishments at this time, while it is still flat. I used the Strawberry Slush "dots" from the Strawberry & Dots. Set insert aside.
Next, stamp 2 "strawberries" and one set of "blueberries" onto scraps of White. Color with Blends and cut out with corresponding dies.
Score the swing "mechanism" @ 3/4". The width of the mechanism may change based on the die that you used for the "window", but they are all 1 1/2" wide.
Now, adhere one side of the "mechanism" to the top of the insert. I used Tear & Tape.
Place adhesive on the other side, place insert into the opening, and adhere to the inside.
To finish the front, add 2 "strawberries" to either side of opening, as well as one of the "blueberries", and Misty Moonlight Checkered bow.
Finish the back with a few more "dots".

Modified Twisted Easel Book Binder Card

I found this interesting fold using the Homemade Sweetness DSP, but with no directions to be found. It appears to be a Book Binding fold, with a Twisted Easel fold - only the "binding" is not adhered (not sure why, but I did it the way I saw it.). The front is decorated with images fussy cut from the Homemade Sweetness DSP in the Online Store. It's a really pretty card, regardless of how you design it!

Measurements:

Secret Sea: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Granny Apple Green: 4 1/4" square
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scrap
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 4" square (notebook), 1" x 4" (Misty Moonlight floral), fussy cut jars

To Make This Card:

Fold Secret Sea base in half. Score @ 4 1/4". Then, score diagonally from this score line bottom to the top of the upper, outside corner. Crease this diagonal score in a mountain fold.
Adhere 1" strip of DSP to "binding" area.
Adhere "notebook" DSP to front of Granny Apple Green layer. Place adhesive on lower "triangle" of card front, then adhere the Granny Apple Green layer to that.
Next, fussy cut 4 "jars" and a "peach" from DSP.
Arrange and adhere to front of card.
Stamp sentiment in Secret Sea ink and then die cut with "label" from Filled with Sweetness Dies. Adhere to front of card, as shown.
Finish front with Misty Moonlight Checkered Trim bow and scattered Secret Sea Moody Palette Glossy Dots.
Finish inside with White layer, small fussy cut die cut and sentiment stamped in Secret Sea ink.

Filled with Sweetness meets Valentine Kisses

I am in LOVE with the Homemade Sweetness DSP!! Originally, I just bought the DSP and cute little embellishments! Because, most of the dies with the coordinating bundle don't cut out any of the images in the DSP. I can fussy cut! (I did go back and get the bundle! I love it, now, too!) and, you will need to, for the most part! I saw a version of this card with the darling bear from the Valentine Kisses bundle, hugging the "honey jar"! Rest is totally Homemade Sweetness DSP (oh, except for the sentiment). So, grab the DSP and your snips and get ready for some fun!

Measurements:

Strawberry Slush: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 4" (arch), 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" (tag), scrap (bear)
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 2 1/4" x 4" (Slush check), 3" x 4" (Slush Hearts), various jars cut from DSP

To Make This Card:

Add DSP layers to front of folded Strawberry Slush card base.
Attach strip of narrow Bubble Bath ribbon between the 2 DSP's.
Next, die cut arch from piece of White. Set aside.
Also, stamp sentiment in Black Ink onto scrap of White and die cut with largest banner in the Stylish Shapes dies. Also, set aside.
Now, stamp "hugging" bear in Black Ink. color in with Blends as shown, and die cut with corresponding die. (It DOES cut slits in in the bears' arms!)
Lastly, cut several different jars from the DSP. I used 6 altogether, with the "honey pot" in the bears' arms!
Then, start with the "arch" on the front of the card, and "build" from there. You'll need to trim the "points" from the left side of the "banner", and makes sure the bear covers the end and the end doesn't hang off the card! Whew!
I added the bear to the "arch" with Dimensionals. Oh, be sure to add the "honey pot" in his arms, first. It's much easier that way. (I speak from experience!)
Then, scatter the 5 remaining jars to the card. I added mine with Dimensionals.
Finish with scattered Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls.
