Partial Circle Peek-a-Boo Card

 This series of cards was designed by Lorraine Tierney of ChatnCraft with Lorraine. They are so adorable! I did switch out the background papers (they are all retired), but most of the rest come from her!  They use the Wild Bunch stamps and circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. These are just so cute! I still need to create a Penguin one!




Measurements:  

  • Base: half sheet
  • DSP layer: 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scraps (labels)
To Make this Card:

  • Lay DSP on top of folded card base. Die cut partial circle from both layers using the 2nd from the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
  • Set the card base aside, and then take the largest circle and cut the DSP, again, making the opening larger. 
  • Next, adhere the 2 together.
  • Add the White layer to the inside. Close the front flap.
  • Stamp desired image through the partial circle opening, in black ink. Color image with Blends.
  • Add desired sentiment through the opening or attached to the front.  All mine were from the Wild Bunch set.
  • Lastly, embellish as desired.

Wild Bunch Side-Trimmed Card

  This darling card was designed using the POTM, Wild Bunch (since sold out) and the new Gingham Gallery DSP (July OnLine Exclusives). The designer made a set of these using the various animals in the set, along with the new DSP in the new InColors! They are just too cute! I hope to create the others as well, they are so fun!  This one we will be making at my Senior class on Monday!



Measurements:  

  • Crisp Cantaloupe (N): 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3" square
  • Basic White: 2 3/4" square, 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
  • Gingham Gallery DSP (N (OE)): 4" square (Crisp Cantaloupe check)
To Make this Card:

  • First, remove 1 1/4" from front of folded card base. 
  • Then, adhere White piece to inside.
  • Stamp the sentiment from the Wild Bunch set in black ink, on the "extension" as shown. Close the front. If you can't see the entire sentiment, then shave off a little of the front.
  • Next, add DSP to front, either side will work! Fit this a little first, if you needed to trim a bit. 
  • Finish, the "extension" by stamping hearts in Crisp Cantaloupe ink
  • Now, die cut largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. 
  • Also, cut the 2nd from the largest square in Basic White
  • Stamp the "snail" in black onto White square. Also, stamp sentiment in black ink, and a couple hearts in Crisp Cantaloupe ink. 
  • Color the "snail shell" in Crisp Cantaloupe and Crumb Cake Blends. Add some Crumb Cake beneath the "snail" to "ground" it.
  • Now, add the Crisp Cantaloupe square, cocking it a little bit.
  • Take the White square and add adhesive to the back to attach the ribbon. Fold the ribbon loosely in half and adhere to adhesive, criss-crossing it in the back, until you like the effect.
  • Then, add to the card front with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with scattered Pearlized Faceted Circles.
