Paper Crafting and Card Making

Butterfly Balcony Card

by

This is a beautiful display card and while I tried to keep it simple, the layers make it a very thick card so it will definitely be a hand delivered card or mailed in a padded envelope. I have seen many balcony cards on Pinterest and they come in all shapes and sizes. I am pretty set on my A2 size cards and this will fit in a medium size envelope, but it is a very tight squeeze. I designed this card for my upcoming April 23 zoom class before I saw the retirement list. The following items are being discontinued: Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set, Ornate Thanks Stamp Set and the Meadow Moments embossing folders. Check out all the Last Chance products on my shopping site.

Folding Box Card

by

This weeks free PDF file contains the measurements for making a Folding Box Card. This card will fold and fit in a regular medium sized envelope. I saw it on Vy Tran’s blog and decided to make it part of my January 28th class. (As of today, 1/21/22,  I have two extra kits if any one wants to sign up at the last minute and join us on zoom. Email me using the Email Me button in the menu above.)

I have tried to show the folding technique as best I could using color coded drawings, but plan to make a quick video for my YouTube channel before the class on the 28th. Last week’s post contained one of the other cards from the class and the next two weeks I will be posting measurements for the other two card designs for this class.

For the next few weeks I will also be posting the cards that I featured in my January thru June Mini catalog debut class. I will post them under the heading Debut Class Cards at the very end of this post.

Sorry for such a long post but I also added the Daffodil Challenge cards right after the Debut Class Cards.

Remember to shop the Sale-A-Bration which is going on now through February 28th, 2022.

Upcoming Classes

Zoom Card Class: February 26, 2022 6 pm – RSVP by Jan 28, 2022

The February Card class will use DSP from the New Horizons 6″ x 6″ DSP pack. We will be making 3 each of 3 designs for a total of 9 cards. All 9 cards will use a different piece of DSP from this pack so each card will be unique. I have the card pictured with the three pieces of DSP we will use and I will also give you the leftover pieces from the DSP so that you can use them to decorate the inside or use them to make another card. You will also receive a sheet of Mini dimensionals as a part of your card kit.

I have made a video of the cards so that you can see the windmill card is an easel card, the sailboat card is an inside z-fold card and the deer in the forest card has a shadow box effect because I used dimensionals for the forest.

The card kit will cost $22 and if you need it mailed, add $4 for Shipping and Handling for a total of $26. You can RSVP directly by emailing me by using the email button at the top of the blog or by going to my events page.

NOTE: Card kits only include cardstock, Designer Series Paper (DSP), and envelopes. Everything is cut, punched and diecut and ready to assemble. You will need to have your own glue. This particular kit does include a sheet of mini dimensionals. Stamped images are not included. If you would like to purchase any materials used for the making of these cards please contact me.

The only stamped images for these cards are the sentiments and the birds on the sailboat card.

Everyone who came to my debut was given a free daffodil card kit. They were charged with designing a card with the pieces provided using a design they found on the internet or by using one of the card sketches that I posted during the last 4 weeks or by making up their own design. Here are the ones posted so far along with the ones that I made. Thank you ladies for participating! It’s not too late for the rest of you to complete your challenge and send it too me!

Four Fold Card from Paper Blooms DSP

by

Nine days left before the end of Sale-A-Bration so if you like this Paper Blooms DSP featured in today’s project you need to place an order soon. Today’s PDF file is using the free Paper Blooms Paper from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. I modified the four fold card from Lyssa. She used a card base made from a 12 x 12 inch sheet of Cardstock and since I was making them for a class I needed to be able to make the card base from 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper. (Note: I apologize my sample used the wrong blossom punch. I accidentally used an older blossom punch instead of the current one but will be using the current blossom punch in the kits for class.)

Remember Sale-A-Bration is happening now which means you can earn free gifts from Stampin’ Up with every $50 order.

If you use my hostess code and place a $50 order you will get a free gift from me. Don’t use my hostess code if you are making a purchase over $150 so that you can earn even more free merchandise from Stampin’ UP.

Sandy Cove Make-n-Takes

I am at Sandy Cove this weekend and I brought everyone a make-n-take to create while they are here this weekend at Craft Around the Clock. They can finish their card anyway they like but I have featured 6 different ways for them to cut their DSP in their kit and thought I would share them on my blog as well. These cards feature the free pack of Flower and Field paper from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Your chance to get this free paper ends on February 28, 2021. Any $50 retail purchase will earn you a level one gift from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. All the cards also feature the Medium Daisy Punch, the Story Label Punch and the Happy Thoughts stamp set.

Each card kit started with:

4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White card base

4″ X 5 1/4″ piece of DSP

1 Basic White Story label punch piece

2 Medium Daisies punched from Basic White

1 circle punched from So Saffron and embossed with the Tastefull Texture 3D embossing folder.

Cut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP into strips that measure 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″. You will have a little leftover DSP when done.
Cut 1 1/2″ off the front of the Basic White Card Base. Cut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP into strips that measure 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ (Glue to Front) and 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ (Glue to inside of the card).

 

Cut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP in half so that you have two strips that measure 2″ x 5 1/4″. Then cut 2″ off one strip and 2 1/2″ off the other strip. Flip over two pieces of the DSP so that you show both designs.
Cut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP into 3 strips that measure 1 5/8″ x 4″.

 

Cut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP on the long side at 4″ creating a 4″ x 4″ square and a strip of 1 1/4″ x 4″ rectangle. Flip one of the pieces over and adhere to your card base.
Cut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ DSP on the long side at 1 1/4″ to create the rectangle at the bottom that measures 1 1/4″ x 4″. Take the remaining square of DSP and cut off 1/8″ off one side and then turn 90 degrees and cut it into 1 1/4″ strips and adhere as shown.
