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.

Soft Green Foiled Butterflies

As I search for inspiration for our new foiling products, I keep an eye out for interesting color combinations! This one caught my eye! I love aqua and teal colors! This one uses Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock! But, there is also some Coastal Cabana in the butterflies! I just LOVE the Swiss Dots for a sparkly background!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet
Lost Lagoon: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Basic White: 1/4 sheet (Butterflies); 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (one for inside); 1 1/2" x 4" (sentiment)

To Make this Card:

Foil one White layer with Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die and Gold Foil.
Adhere Lost Lagoon layer, and foiled layer to folded Pretty Peacock card base.
Next, Hot Foil the Butterfly Flight Die in Gold Foil onto quarter sheet of White.
Color, using masks. Start with Coastal Cabana, a blending brush, and mask #1. Then, switch to Lost Lagoon with mask #2, and finish with Pretty Peacock ink and mask #3.
Now, you can die cut your "butterflies".
Select a sentiment to foil in Gold Foil. Die cut with corresponding die.
I decided to make this a "Landscape" card, so I started with the sentiment first. Then, added the largest butterfly, shaping it a bit with a bone folder! I then had to decide how many other butterflies I wanted to use. I chose the 2 smaller ones! I adhered them with a strip of Tear & Tape down the "body" center.
I finished the front with retired Tinsel Gems.
For the inside, after adding a White layer, I chose one of the remaining butterflies and added it to the inside. I saved the other for another project.

Cutest Crew Clean & Simple Card

I just love the color coordination of this card! I saw this and knew it would be perfect for my Senior stampers! And, I always try to create one card using some of my retired products, so this fits the bill there, too, as it uses the retired Painted Illusions POTM paper!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet, 3" square (circle), 3 pcs @ 2 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Painted Illusions DSP (ret): 3 pcs @ 2" x 3", 1/2" x 4" (inside)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/2" square (circle punch)

To Make this Card:

Run one White piece through Soft Waves Embossing Folder. Adhere to folded Pretty Peacock card base.
Next, adhere 3 DSP pcs to the 3 Pretty Peacock pcs. Arrange onto card front as desired.
Now, die cut circle from Spotlight on Nature Dies and Pretty Peacock cardstock.
Punch circle from White with 2 3/8" Circle Punch.
Then, stamp "birds" and sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink. Color with Granny Apple Green and Lost Lagoon Blends, and adhere to Pretty Peacock circle.
Add to front of card with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with White layer and strip of DSP.
Finish outside with scattered Wave gems (ret). Or, the Array Dots!
