Pansy Patch Pop Up Card

I spotted this cute card on Angie's StampingWithAmore's YouTube and knew I just had to make it.  It is very easy to make.  I've listed the measurements below but the easiest way to see the assembly is to see her video.  

Recipe:

• Fresh Freesia - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
• Pansy Petals DSP - 4" x 5 1/4" (Gingham and Flowers - shown inside)
• Basic White - Stitched so Sweetly 2" x 3 1/8" (inside sentiment)
• Fresh Freesia - 2 1/4" x 4", scored at 1", 2", 3"
• Fresh Freesia - 3/4" x 2 1/4", scored at 1"
• 2 5/8" Layering Circles Die - cut through the front panel - AFTER attaching the checkered paper. Center it side to side, but high on the card so you have space for the inside panel.
• Basic White - 2" Layering Circles (scalloped) Die
• Basic White - scraps for stamping Pansy and Leaves

Ink:  Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent.

Stamps:  Pansy Patch

Thank you for looking in today and a big thanks to Angie for the great video and card inspiration.

Stay Well!

Workshop Creativity

Saturday's workshop was so much fun!  The Hey Chick pop-up card went together easily for everyone and no one had to peel up a mistake (like I did the first time I made it!).  

One of the girls is quite the artist and I just had to show you how beautifully she colored her chicks. She used our new Watercolor Pencils, but didn't blend them or use the Aqua Brush.  So don't think you have to use water or blenders with them, you can simply color with them.  Alyssa amazes me everytime I see her work.  Doesn't Phyllis (the first chicken) just look FAB!?

Brittney wanted to be very creative and since she knew what the end result was going to be, and what she wanted to do, she asked me to bring my Barnyard Babies stamp set with me as well as my Woodgrain background stamp.  Take a look at what she created!

This is the outside:

She made little barn doors by cutting an "I" with our Trimmer and using some old brads as "door knobs". 

Here is the inside!  Isn't it adorable?  

Measurements can be found HERE for this card.  The link for assembling the pop-up instructions are HERE.

This was our 2nd card that they made today.  Do you see the doilies?  Brittney colored hers by laying them down on the Sweet Sugarplum ink pad and gently rubbed over the back - using a piece of paper to keep the ink off her fingers.  You can also use our sponge daubers or sponge rollers.

Inside, she cut some flowers out as well.  Admittedly, not on purpose (she didn't see the smaller piece of Whisper White for die cutting), but this shows how you can make any mistake work to your advantage and still make something beautiful!  There's even still room to stamp a sentiment.

Measurements and details for this card can be found  HERE.

I hope these cards have inspired you to try something fun!

Have a Blessed Sunday! 

Pop-Up Chicks

Ohhhh I'm so excited about this card I can hardly stand it!  We're going to make this today at our workshop.  I can hardly wait for it to start!  

Recipe:
Very Vanilla - 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" x 4"
Neutrals (Crumb Cake) Designer Series Paper 5 1/4" x 4 (cut two)
Very Vanilla - 8 1/2" x 2 1/2" (for folding mechanism)
Very Vanilla - 11" x 2 3/4" - score at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", 8 1/4"

Crumb Cake - 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" (cut 5)
Very Vanilla - 2 3/8" x 2 3/8" (cut 5)

To achieve the chicken wire look, gently ink up the skinny (where you can feel the little lines) side of the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Place the 5 1/4" x 4" Very Vanilla inside the folder and gently rub the ink onto the cardstock.  No need to run through the Big Shot.

 I still think the Phyllis Diller chicken is the cutest!

You can get this great little set for FREE with a $50.00 order (before shipping and tax).  

Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Saturday!

Pop Up Love

This girl has bitten off more than she can chew, at least as far as giving good directions on this one, so I'm going to give you the link to the video I watched for clarification.  I was going to give you my instructions in pictures, but it just came out more confusing.

Here is the inside to finish yesterday's post.  Isn't it fun!  Even better on video!   Click HERE to see the video that I followed for instructions.  My measurements are below.  In the video, by Cathy Williams, she cuts the DSP to fit into the folds.  Mine is just simply a rectangle placed down first.

Recipe:  

Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2
Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 4" (times 2)

Whisper White Cardstock (not thick) 11" x 2 3/4" - score at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", 8 1/4" (fold as shown above in the final product)

Whisper White 8 1/2" x 2 1/2" (see video for scoring and folding)

Designer Series Squares 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Large Letters Framelits Dies

Thank you for looking in today.  One more day until the weekend!  Yayyy!

A Sneak Peek

We made this awesome card at our Team Meeting a week ago and I simply had to give it a try so we can make it at a workshop this weekend.

I'm only going to show you part of it right now, because it is late on Tuesday and I need to get to bed, once I change my sheets... seems we had a pet that decided their dinner needed to come up.  On. My. Bed.  Thankfully I have a waterbed (yes, I still have one and I can't sleep without it), but at least I don't have a mattress I can't clean easily.

So, you can see a little peek inside here and a little more below in the next picture.  

A better peek: 

and a little clue...

Tomorrow I'll share the details.  Just remember, this can be made with anything inside and outside.  No need to be Valentine's.  As a matter of fact, I have a really cute idea in my head.  Look out!  ha ha!

Happy Hump Day!
