Friendly Foliage Floating Tent Card

So, I found another sample on Pinterest of a Floating Tent Card that uses the current bundle, Friendly Foliage, so I decided to give it a try! I LOVE it! What I really love is the color combination of Secret Sea and Petal Pink! I'm down here stamping with my friends in Springfield. We are getting together this afternoon to "play" and will be making this card. But, I will ALSO be doing this in my class at home next Wednesday, I love it so much!

Measurements:

Secret Seat: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 4" x 4 1/4" (accordion fold), 1 1/2" x 1 7/8”" (mechanism), scrap
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (back); 2 3/4" x 4" (stamped image)
Lovely & Beautiful DSP (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4" (Petal Pink print)

To Make This Card:

Adhere Petal Pink Print piece to folded Secret Sea 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 (or any die of your choice). Set this aside.
While the base is still pretty flat, create back layer, by stamping smaller “sprig” in Secret Sea ink, in 2 opposite corners.
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!
Stamp “leafy frame” in Secret Sea ink onto piece of White. Die cut with both parts of “frame” die.
Making sure your print matches up, adhere this piece to front cut out piece with “Green Glue”.
You might want to add any embellishments at this time, while it is still flat. I used the · Secret Sea dots from the Moody Palette Dots Embellishments.
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 (matching the DSP design), and adhere to the inside.
Finish front with die cut “sprig” from Secret Sea cardstock.

Clean & Simple Cutest Crew Card

I just love this bundle! And, I know the dies come and go, so I wanted to show you that you CAN still make darling cards, while you wait for the dies! This one was designed by Barb Brimhall. I am thinking of making this one at my next Senior Center class, especially since there is minimal coloring, which was done so cleverly. It is also paired with the Homemade Sweetness DSP.

Measurements:

Granny Apple Green: 1/2 sheet, 1 3/8" x 4 1/4"
Basic White: 1 1/8" x 4", 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 2" x 5" (blue "mottled"), 3" x 3 3/4" (small flowers)

To Make This Card:

Adhere "mottled" DSP piece to front of folded Granny Apple Green card, near the top of the fold, as shown.
Next, add "floral" DSP over the top and to the left.
Now, stamp the "puppies" in Memento Black ink onto White strip and add just a pop of color with Blends!
Mount this to the Green piece and then add to card front.
Finish with sentiment from the set stamped in Misty Moonlight, a small White ribbon bow, and a couple of Misty Moonlight Dots from the Strawberries and Dots.

Vellum Sweetness Jar

I was looking for a unique way to use the awesome jar in the Filled with Sweetness bundle, and came across this idea by Loni Spendlove. The jar is made from vellum with an insert of Homemade Sweetness DSP! There is even a die to create the "slit" for the insert!!

Measurements:

Vellum: 5" x 7"
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 2 7/8" x 7 1/2" (insert), 1 5/8" x 4 3/4" (topper)
Strawberry Slush: scraps
Basic White: 2 5/8" x 3 1/2" (inside), scrap

To Make This Card:

Ink up "jar" with StazOn (dries best on vellum) and stamp on left side of vellum piece.
Blot, let dry a minute, and die cut with corresponding die.
Then, cut slit with die.
Place narrow Tear & Tape along bottom and left side to seal edges. Then, place Multipurpose Glue onto "inside" jar to keep it out of the way.
Fold DSP insert in half.
Stamp "flourish" in Strawberry Slush ink onto White insert. Then, attach to inside.
Die cut "topper" from DSP. Also, die cut "details" from cardstock.
Adhere the "details" to the "topper" with Multipurpose Glue.
Then, adhere near the fold of the "insert".
Stamp sentiment in Blueberry Bushel onto scrap of White and die cut with label from die set.
Add to "topper" and then add "bow".
Finish with embellishments from the Strawberries and Dots. Then, slip through slit and into "jar".

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.
