SPRING FLOWERS


Hello, my stamping friends, may I share my spring flower card with you?  I had so much fun playing with this funfold, it was an easy fold and I got to share pretty designer papers on top of that.

Below I am sharing the measurements in case anyone wants to case this card.

white cardstock for inside: 4 x 5 1/4
Front side strips to matt the designer paper:  two 1 1/4 x 4
Front side designer paper stips to top matt:  two 1 x 3 3/4
The card stock is the same as the front side strip matt color: 8 x 2 3/4 and scored at 4"
Strip of designer paper:  2 1/2 x 2 3/4
die cut emblessment of your choise
die cut for the sentiment
The designer paper and die cuts I used, was from Stampin Up

Let me tell you how I put this card together.

first I glued the white cardstock inside the card.
second I glued the middle card to the middle of the card and glued the designer paper on top.
third I glued the designer paper on the two strips and glued it to the card.
I placed a die-cut embellishment on the front of the card and I added a sentiment.
Don't forget the bling, bling, bling.  I still need to put mine on.
Enjoy making your card!

FILLED WITH CHEER

 

On Sunday, I played with fun with cheer stamp from Stampin Up, and let me tell you it was a lot of fun.

I used Navy blue cardstock measuring 4 ¼” by 5 ½” and topped it with a white cardstock measuring 4” by 5 ¼”.

I also used a strip of designer paper measuring 1 ¾’” by 5” that coincided with the base color.

You will also cut a 3 ¾” by 3 ¾” piece of navy blue card stock and glue it to the center of the card.

Next, you will stamp your filled-with-cheer snowman on a 3 ½” by 3 ½” piece of white cardstock. I also stamped the sentiment below the snowman color it as you desire and glue that to the top of the navy-blue square.

All you need to do now is embellish it and finish the inside as desired.

yours truly,

Ana

EVERYDAY DETAILS



Hello my friends, today I'm bringing you a fold-down card using the everyday details. I haven't been posting any of my cards lately, I'm just getting into the hang of things again.  I'm happy to share the steps with you on this lovely card I made.   The measurements are below.

 

Card Measurements:

The card Base is in Tan colored cardstock measuring 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" 

and scored in the center at 51/2" 

The first Mat is in black cardstock and measures 4 " by 51/4"

One strip of the softly stippled DSP matching color  3 3/4"  by 1 1/2" (I used the blue on with flowers)

A second strip of  softly stippled DSP that coincides with the first color:  3/34" by 1 3/4"

( I used the subtle blue)

one white frame which I  cut out of the everyday details using the largest die.


Feel free to use any of the DSPs that you may have, just because I used this one you don't have to.

oh, the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment and placed two pieces of DSP and flagged it.
