Painted Pumpkin Book Binder

What a fun color combination! The colors in the new Pumpkin Patch DSP, while interesting, really do work together! The background color is not Black, it's Secret Sea!! I just love that color! The original idea was created by Laura Seki, but of course I added my own touches!

Measurements:

Pool Party: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 4 1/4" square (embossed)
Pumpkin Patch DSP: 1" x 4" (Secret Sea print), several die cut pumpkins
Basic White: 4" square inside
Thick White: 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" (gate)
Lost Lagoon: scraps
Secret Sea: scraps

To Make this Card:

Fold the Pool Party card base in half. Score the front @ 4 1/4" - 5 1/2". Crease the front forward at the 4 1/4" score line.
Adhere the 1 1/4" "binding" to card.
Next, take the Pool Party Square and emboss it with the new Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere to the right side of front, all cut edges even.
Also, add the Secret Sea print strip to left side "binding".
Now, die cut the "fence" and "gate" from the heaver White cardstock. (Mine is the regular weight, and it's a little flimsy.)
Adhere left side of "gate" to the card front with Tear n Tape and attach the "fence" to the right with Multipurpose Glue.
Next, die cut "hinges" and "handle" from Secret Sea and add to "gate" as shown.
Die cut some "vines" from Lost Lagoon.
Die cut random "pumpkins" from the DSP with the coordinating dies. Choose several of these to decorate the "gate". I also added some of the vines.
Finish the inside with White layer and one pumpkin.
Finish the front with a Secret Sea label, embossed in White.

Lost Lagoon Arched Botanical Glow

I wanted to do a quick card using the Botanical Glow Hot Foil bundle and came up with this in Lost Lagoon. I LOVE it! One of my customers mentioned she needed Get Well Cards! Well, gotcha covered! The Classic Greetings Hut Foil bundle as all kinds of great sentiments! Including Get Well!! This design could be done in so many different colors, for so many different occasions!!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 1/4 sheet (arch), 2 1/4" x 3" (sentiment)
Lost Lagoon: 1/4 sheet

To Make this Card:

Foil the 1/4 sheet of White in Gold Hot Foil with the Botanical Glow Die.
Next, stamp the coordinating stamp in Lost Lagoon ink, over the top. I did use a stamp positioner for this. It does NOT match exactly!
Now, die cut with Everyday Arches Die.
Mount onto a Lost Lagoon Everyday Arch die cut. Then, add to folded White card front!
Next, hot foil desired greeting from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil DIes in Gold Hot Foil. Die cut with corresponding die. Add to card front with Dimensionals.
Finish with Gold Drusy Dots.

2-Color Cutest Crew

I promise, this is my last Cutest Crew card..for now! This one uses the Homemade Sweetness DSP as its' inspiration for the Granny Apple Green and Misty Moonlight color combination! I just love the color combination, and the layout! This one was designed by Barb Brimhall!

Measurements:

Granny Apple Green : 1/2 sheet, 1 1/4" x 4 1/4"
Homemade Sweetness DSP (OE): 2" x 5 1/4" (Misty Moonlight "denim"); 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" (small flowers)
Basic White:1" x 4" (stamped image), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)

To Make this Card:

Adhere the "denim" DSP piece to the front of the folded Granny Apple Green card front, approximately 1/4" from the fold.
Wrap about 8" of ribbon around the the floral DSP piece and then add to the front, as shown, with the cut edge touching the fold.
Stamp the "puppies" onto the strip of White. This one is colored really easily...just the highlights! The scarves and the flowers. Leave the puppies White!
Then adhere this piece to the Green strip and add to front of card as shown.
Finish by stamping the sentiment in the open area in Black ink.

Monochromatic Cutest Crew

I think I was drawn as much to the Coastal Cabana color, as to the layout, and all-over card! This was a card sketch by Dawn Griffith. She used color-family, patterned DSP, cut and layered with the Cutest Crew stamps, which was colored to enhance the chosen color! Love it!!

Measurements:

Coastal Cabana : 1/2 sheet, 2 3/4" square for circle), 1 3/8" x 4"
Coastal Cabana Patterned DSP: 2 1/2" x 3", 7/8" x 3 1/2" (2 different patterns)
Basic White: 2 5/8" square (circle), 1 1/4" x 4" (stamped image), 4" x 5 1/4" (front)

To Make this Card:

Adhere the 2 DSP pieces to the White, front layer, lining them up with the cut edges. I also just butted them up to each other.
Stamp "puppies" onto strip of White. Color with Blends, making sure to add some Pool Party accents!
Next, adhere this strip to Cabana strip. Set aside.
Now, die cut a circle from the 3rd largest Stylish Shapes Circle from Coast Cabana. Then, cut the next circle from White.
Stamp the White circle, near the top, in black in with sentiment of your choice, and then layer onto Cabana circle.
Adhere circle (mine is mostly centered).
Then, add strip - I wanted the strip just below, and straight, with the "hello".
Finish with Frosted Iridescent Dots.

Cutest Crew Double "Z" Fold

I just love this bundle! And, I've only used the birds! I didn't want to offend anyone! This time I created one card, and colored both the puppies and kitties so that you can choose either (or both!) I found this one somewhere and saved it. I like the little paw prints on the side, and how nicely the strip of animals fits on the cardstock strip.

Measurements:

Gray Granite: 1/2 sheet, 1 1/8" x 8 1/2"
Delicate Dreams DSP (OE): 2 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 5 1/4", 1" x 8 1/8" (Crumb Cake print)
Basic White: 3 1/4" square (circle), 1 1/4" x 4 1/4" strip (image), 4" x 5 1/4" inside

To Make this Card:

To create the base "Z" fold, fold the Gray Granite base in half, and then fold the front back on itself, so that the cut edge touches the fold.
Adhere one DSP piece to the front, and the other to the inside. I flipped the patterns for a little interest, but do whatever you like.
Before you add the White layer inside, you'll want to stamp the little paw prints along the right side in Crumb Cake ink. They really do line up quite easily. (Another option, is to die cut the paws on a strip of a shade of brown, and add those instead).
Next, stamp the puppies or kitties in black ink onto a strip of White. Color in with blends as shown. I used pairs of "browns" and the Gold Glow colors. I also added a little Wink of Stella to flowers, scarves, tongue. Then, die cut with corresponding die.
Now, die cut largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies from White square.
Stamp sentiment in Gray Granite ink, set aside.
Now, for the strip of cardstock. Score at 2 1/8" - 4 1/4". Also, score the DSP strip the same. Fold both into a "Z". Adhere together, section by section, with Multipurpose Glue.
Fold the strip into a "Z". Place glue onto the wrong side of the exposed areas, then adhere onto the card front, as shown. (Note: The idea had this adhered to the center of the card, so that's what I did, but I think next time I think I'd put it a little lower.)
Then, center the circle onto the card front/strip, and add the strip with the "animals" so that it crosses the bottom of the circle, and lands on the center of the strip.
Finish with scattered 2026 InColor Dots, Iridescent Pearls on the smaller flowers and small bow in Crisp Cantaloupe.
