This Birthday Piggy

 

This fun fold card is so easy to make. The stamp set is in the Annual Catalog on page 55. It's listed in the section for Kids and Baby but I'm pretty sure adults would smile if they got a card made with this stamp set. My daughter-in-law loves pigs so she would love this card.


Item Number: 159107

I have included a list of supplies for this card at the bottom of this email. If you like videos, here is my You Tube video 

Here is the before picture of this card. Looks like a mess, doesn't it? 



Here are the instructions:

  • Cut desired color of cardstock 4 1/4" x 7 1/2". Cut off a piece 2" x 4 1/4" from the leftover piece that you just cut. This will be the bottom of the card front.
  • Cut desired Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces at 1 3/4" x 4", these are the top and bottom pieces for the front. 
  • Center Panel: basic White cardstock: cut 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" and for inside liner cut a piece 2 1/2" x 4". I used 2022-24 In Color Glimmer paper for the mat under the Basic white layer, cut                2 1/2" x 4". 
  • Stamp center panel and color with Stampin' Blends before adhering to Glimmer Paper. Adhere DSP to top flap and bottom piece of cardstock. Refer to video to see how to assemble card front. The liner is hidden under the center panel. 
  • Stamp inside sentiment and embellish with Fun Flowers Resin Shapes.




Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed this cute card. Leave a comment!

Wonderful World Stamps and Paper

 Hello, August! Is it going to ever cool off? We had over an inch of rain today which is the first rain we've had in weeks. There is hope summer will taper off. I have been planning Christmas card classes. Can you believe in one sentence we talk about summer and in the next, Christmas. Good grief! 

Let's talk about card making. I did my Facebook live Monday to show how to make a card using Sale-a-bration items that you can earn for free. It's called Wonderful World stamp set and Designer Series Paper. It's a bundle that you can choose with your order over $100. I used every stamp in the stamp set! There are no sentiments or words in this stamp set. "Hello" is in Biggest Wish stamp set


Here's the You Tube video link, if you'd rather watch me making this card.

For class, my ladies had a choice of Mossy Meadow or Petal Pink. For my video, I used Petal Pink. 

Card Base: In this version, Petal Pink, cut 4 1/4" x 11, scored at 5 1/2"

DSP Layer: About 4 x 5 1/4", die cut with one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies

Tools: Blending Brushes, Sponge Daubers, Stylish Shapes Dies, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow, Flirty Flamingo, Rich Razzleberry

Techniques: Using Blending Brushes, Adding ink with Sponge Daubers

There is a list of supplies I used at the bottom of this post. 



I love those Brushed Brass Butterflies, they add some bling and a hint of motion. There is one Champagne Rhinestone on the label.


For this card, I used some of the DSP to decorate the envelope flap. This card is blank inside. It can be used for a Thank You card or just a note you want to send to someone. 

The only way you can get this stamp set and paper is to place an order over $100. Here are the 10 new items added to what you can select for your free item. The Sale-a-bration brochure is HERE. There are two items that are no longer available: Pool Party and Soft Seafoam Cards & Envelopes and the Tree Lot Dies. If there is something you would really, really like, don't wait too long. These are only available while supplies last.


That's all I have for you today. Let me know if you copy my card. It's called CASE: copy and share everything.

Until next time, have fun stamping!
