Stamp With TLC

Paper Crafting and Card Making

Folded Kite Card

by

I saw many versions of this kite card on the internet, but I did not like complicated measurements to figure out the diamond shapes to make this card. I was able to draw a template and upload it to Cricut Design Space which allowed me to use the Cricut to do all the diamond shapes for me. I still needed to score the lines for folding since I don’t know how to add score lines in Design Space.  I have shared my design on Design Space and here is the link: https://design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/63e00b866659be821a8ea835 

While I provide the design for free, I’m not sure if Cricut charges for it or not. I have also provided a pdf below for those who don’t have a Cricut. I provide a template that you can use to cut with scissors or I have also provided a template that can be uploaded into a cutting system like Cricut and turned into a cut file. Unfortunately I do not own software that would turn my pdf into a SVG file.

It is a fun card to make and I think it will be a fun card to receive. I ended up using small velcro dots for the closure because I did not have luck with magnets. You do need to burnish your score lines well to make it lay as flat as possible, but it is a bulky card. I hope you enjoy making the card and that the templates I provided help make it easier for you.

April Zoom Card Class – Last Day to RSVP!

Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 6 pm

RSVP by: Friday, March 31, 2023

Fee: $22 plus $4 S&H

In this class we will be making 8 cards total. Two each of the four designs, but some of the designs feature two different colors. As shown in the picture above, the butterfly card and fancy flora card will feature two different colors but follow the same design. The Seashell Card will be exactly the same for each card kit. The final card with the two flowers will feature the same card base for each card but the second card kit will have flowers with a bit more yellow instead of completely pink. This card also features a z fold on the inside of the card as shown in the picture below. The Fancy flora is also a gate fold card and it is also shown open in the picture below.

As always your card kit will contain everything you need except stamped images, glue, and dimensionals. If you need any of these items please check out my online store or email me. NOTE: The only stamps you will need are sentiment stamps and some ink for shading with a sponge dauber. I did stamp one flower on the inside of the z fold card but you can hardly see it in the picture. All other flowers for the cards are either die cut from DSP or die cut from cardstock.

Boughs of Holly Double Fold Card

by

Front of Card
Front of Inside Card Base
Inside of the Card

This week’s card is a double card base card. There is a Cherry Cobbler card base inside the Mossy Meadow card base. The front of the Mossy Meadow card base is shorter so it allows the front of the Cherry Cobbler card base to show when closed and you have an extra spot for sentiments in the middle section. It is a simple card but the extra layer makes it an extra special card. You can find the measurements and materials in the free pdf file below. Don’t forget to shop for your Stampin’ Up supplies in my Shop.

I’m teaching at Sandy Cove this weekend and I would love for you to join me at Sandy Cove in February from the 17th to the 19th at the next Craft-Around-The-Clock.
