Filled with Sweetness Stadium Wave Card

My stampers were fascinated with the Sweet Bug Stadium Wave card I made, so I wanted to share how to make one. The Homemade Sweetness DSP images are just PERFECT for the "waves"! So, I created this "Becky Original" using the DSP and Filled with Sweetness Bundle! I LOVE how it turned out...and it really isn't difficult to make, one the waves are assembled! (And, this orientation only uses 6!)

Measurements:

Secret Sea: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 6" X 10" (waves), scrap (label)
Basic White: 1/4 sheet (jar), scraps
Granny Apple Green: strings, bow
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (blue check - front), 2 pcs 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 1 1/2" x 4 1/2" (jar topper) (small floral), fussy cut small jam jars

To Make This Card:

Score the Secret Sea base @ 5 3/8" from each end, creating an 1/8" "gusset" for the "bulk" of the waves.
Adhere the "blue check" to the front, and the 2 pcs of small floral to the inside, trimming a bit, if necessary.
Next, we'll create the waves. For this version, we need 6 - 1" "waves".
Score across the 10" side @ 4 - 8" - 8 3/4" - 9 1/2".
Cut into 6 - 1" strips that measure 1" x 10"
Next, crease each strip creating a "valley" fold. the 1/2" at the bottom you will use to attach the top and bottom together. I also used tear n tape to put these together.
To make the entire "mechanism", first place tear n tape on the right side of each "wave" with the folds to the top.
Then, assemble them together over lapping them 1/2" and adhering them to the tear n tape.
Lastly, place tear n tape on the top and bottom "waves". These will adhere them to the inside of the card.
Next, we'll insert the "mechanism" to the "spine" with Multipurpose Glue. This takes a little time to dry, put DOES work perfectly! I held it for a while, and then propped it up to finish drying. (For our class purposes, I'm going to try my low temp glue gun.)
Next, I removed the tear in tape of the top "wave" and closed the card. Repeat for the bottom "wave". And, voila the wave is done! It's really NEAT!!
Next, I fussy cut 6 "jam jars" (one of each) and adhered them to the "waves".
For the front, I stamped a "jar" in Misty Moonlight ink, and die cut with coordinating die.
I also die cut a jar topper, granny apple "strings", and a label from Misty Moonlight scrap. Also cut a White label, and cut along the dotted lines! Stamp sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink.
Stamp "strawberry" and "blueberries" in Memento Black ink, and color with Blends. Die cut with coordinating dies.
Assemble all on front of card.
To finish the inside, I added a White panel to the inside from the Nested Essentials Dies.

Homemade Sweetness Barn Door Fold

I just love the images in the Homemade Sweetness DSP, and I'm always on the lookout for fun, easy folds for my Senior Center stampers, and found this one! Originally, I was going to do this for my smaller stamping class - so would only have to fussy cut a few of the jam jars, but plans changed, and I ended up teaching my LARGER class - which meant 30 large and 20 small fussy cut images. My aunt to the rescue!! She offered to cut out all those jars for me!! And, they loved the card!

Measurements:

Misty Moonlight: 1/2 sheet cut lengthwise
Basic White:2 1/8" x 2 3/4" (label), 1 1/4" x 4 1/4" (extra layer on the front),4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 2" x 5 1/4" (blue check), 3 "large" jam jars, 2 "small" jam jars

To Make This Card:

Fold Misty Moonlight card base in half. Then, remove top "half" by cutting 2" from the top edge to the crease in the card. You will not be needing this piece.
Adhere White layer to inside of card.
Attach strip of DSP to front "flap".
Die cut "lid" from Filled with Sweetness dies, as well as one of the "labels".
Fussy cut 3 "large" jam jars, including the "honey" bottle from the DSP. Also, select 2 smaller jam jars from the other sheet.
Begin creating the front by attaching the "jar lid" to the front flap.
Then, add the "honey" bottle to the front, and 2 "taller" jars on either side.
Adhere a 4 3/4" strip of Misty Moonlight Checkered ribbon across the "jar lid".
Stamp sentiment of your choice in Misty Moonlight ink. Then, add to card over ribbon, "jar lid" and die cut jars, as shown, with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with stamped sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink - low enough not to be seen above cut of front flap. Then, add the 2 smaller "jars".
Finish the front with 3 little Strawberries and a couple Misty Moonlight dots from the Strawberries & Dots embellishments

Springtime Scenes Z Fold

As you know I love, love, love unique dies, and the dies in the Springtime Scenes Bundle in the Online Store definitely "fit the bill"! This card also uses the darling "ladybug" die cuts! This inspiration comes from Amy Koenders. Her base color is Calypso Coral, paired with our brighter greens, AND the darling "Ladybug" print from Homemade Sweetness DSP! We will be making this card in class this week!

Measurements:

Calypso Coral:1/2 sheet, scraps
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5" (inside), 3 1/4" square (circle die)
Secret Sea: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 1 7/8" x 5 1/4", scraps
Lemon Lime Twist: 3 1/4" square (base), 2 pcs @ 1/2" x 2 1/4" (leaves)
Granny Apple Green: 3 1/4" square (leaf circle), 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" x 2 1/4" (leaves)
Adhesive sheet (optional): for circle leaves
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 1 3/4" x 5" (ladybug print)

To Make This Card:

Take Calypso Coral base and fold in half. Then, to create the "Z" fold, fold the front back on itself. Crease well.
Next, adhere the Secret Sea layers to the inside and front flap.
Then, add DSP to the front flap.
Now, we're going to stamp and color the White inside layer. Stamp the "grass" in Granny Apple Green on the bottom. Stamp the "ladybug" in Secret Sea ink, and color with Secret Sea Blends, and Calypso Coral Blends. Lastly, randomly stamp the flower in Secret Sea ink.
For the circle focal point. Use the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes and cut from the Lemon Lime Twist piece.
For the "detailed leaves circle" die cut from the Granny Apple Green piece. Note: I would recommend adhering an Adhesive Sheet to the back before die cutting!
I would also add Adhesive Sheet to "detailed leaf layer" cut from Granny Apple Green, as well, and mounted to a "solid" Lemon Lime Twist leaf.
And, lastly, die cut the thin White circle from the die with the bundle!
Also, die cut the "solid ladybug" from Secret Sea and the "dots" from Calypso Coral. Adhere together with "green glue".
Now, it's time to assemble the entire circle.
Adhere the "detailed leaf circle" to the Lemon Lime Twist base. Then add the White circle on top.
Put the 2 pcs of the "leafy sprigs" together and attach to circle. And then add the "Ladybugs".
