Clean & Simple Inlaid Card

This card features the Inaid Technique using the Picture This dies. We designed this card for Garner.  Think of the possibilities using up your scraps!!  Love the use of the Biggest Wish stamp set, which I don't use often enought!

Measurements:  

• Just Jade (ret): 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/4"
• Sweet Symmetry DSP (ret): scraps
• Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", scraps

To Make This Card:

• Cut rectangle Picture This die from Just Jade layer.  Attach to folded Just Jade card. Note: for a variation, you could pop up the die cut layer or the inserts.  For my purposes that would be a little difficult for my Assisted Living stampers.
• Cut one "outside" rectangle from White, and the remaining 2 rectangles from DSP of your choice.
• Stamp sentiment in Just Jade ink onto White piece.
• Inlay these pieces into matching openings.
• Attach White layer to inside and stamp desired sentiment.
• Finish with knot of ribbon, jewels, or whatever you would like to use!

Let's Set Sail Side Accordion Fold

I wanted to make another one of these Side Accordion Fold cards. This sample is a version I made from one I saw from Sharon Armstrong. It uses the retired SAB Simply Marbleous DSP and the current Let's Set Sail bundle. I just LOVE it!

Measurements:  

• Bermuda Bay: 5 1/2" x 11", 3" x 6", scrap
• Simply Marbelous DSP: 4 pcs @ 1 3/4" x 5 1/4", 2 pcs @ 2 3/4" square (Bermuda Bay), scrap (pink) 
• Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4"

To Make This Card:

• Score the base at 1 3/4" - 3 1/2" - 5 1/4" - 7".  Accordion fold, crease well with Bone Folder.
• Score the 3" x 6" piece at 3". 
• Attach DSP strips to corresponding "accordion folds".
• Add 2 3/4" square of DSP to the 3" x 3" card. You'll add the other later, once it's done, so you can decide which side you want to use of the DSP.
• Attach this smaller card to the accordion folds, attaching the front, to the front fold, and the back to the back, or 4th accordion.
• Attach the White piece to the inside.
• To create the front.  Punch the "mast" from Bermuda Bay cardstock, and the "sails" from the Pink Marble DSP.  Attach the "mast" flat, and pop up the "sails" with Dimensionals.
• Finish with scattered blue Artistry Sequins.

Gingham Strawberry

 Mom & I got together yesterday to create our cards for my Garner classes on Monday. We frequently create using retired products, so I can use up what I have and use some of my favorite stamps!  But the beauty of that is that the designs and layouts are still doable with ANY products you have in your stash!! This one uses the Black Gingham from the retired Host paper pack and a Poppy Parade strawberry.  The inspiration came from the Accordion Fold layout we did in class this week.  See previous post.

Measurements:  

• Basic Black: 1/2 sheet, 3" square
• Pattern Party DSP (ret): 1 7/8" x 5 1/4", 2 3/4" square
• Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", scraps

To Make This Card:

• Trim 2 1/8" from front of folded Black card.
• Attach longer strip of DSP to front of card, and smaller square to Black square.
• Attach White layer to "inside" of card.
• Stamp sentiment in Black, onto scrap of White.  Cut out with Stitched Rectangle.
• Stamp solid "strawberry" in stamped off Poppy Parade onto scrap of White, stamped "detail" full strength and punch out with corresponding punch. Repeat with "stem" and Garden Green.  Assemble
• Add sentiment to square, and pop up strawberry with Dimensional.
• Finish with Black Matte Dots.
