Paper Crafting and Card Making

Waterside Retreat Pocket Card

by

This fun fold card hides a surprise! When you open the card, the front panel swings inward, creating a fun twist to what first appears to be a simple design.

Warning: The life vests on this card are fussy cut — but they really aren’t too fussy!

The net die cut from the Sunset Coast Dies is a perfect addition, adding just the right extra touch to the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper cards that have been featured over the last several weeks.

Airplane Swiper Pop Up Card

by

This week’s card is a swiper card. The airplane pops out of the top of the card in a swiper type motion. It is an amazingly simple technique. The z-folds of the card base actually pull the swiper piece from the inside of the card when you open it. I will admit that you need to be careful when folding the card back because the airplane is so large it does like to get stuck. Simple solution: you just poke it with your finger to make it go back inside the card when folding. Below you will fine the instruction sheet which will help you make your own swiper card.

August 16, 2024 Zoom Card Class

Friday, August 16, 2024 at 7pm  via zoom

RSVP by August 2, 2024

Fee: $24 plus $5.50 Shipping & Handling

In this class we will make a total of 8 cards, 2 of each design pictured above. There are a lot of small die cuts in several of these cards and while none of the cards are tricky, the gluing will be a little tedious. The birdhouse is the trickiest card because it involves using paper hinges to make the birdhouse float above the card. This is not a tricky technique but does require putting the pieces in a specific order to achieve the floating look. We of course will take each card step by step during class to be successful.

No stamped images are included in the kit, you must have your own stamps and ink to complete these cards. You must also have your own adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals are optional but I did use some for these cards. Stampin’ Up Inks Used: Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, & Moody Mauve
