Baby Buggie Card Share

Author: July 29, 2009 2 Comments

Baby Buggie CardOk, now here is the card that I wanted to share that totally matches the baby box that I shared yesterday!  Is it too cute or what?? I LOVE it!  The idea came from I card I recieved from Sandy Hancock at our last quarterly meeting! 

Recipe for Card:

Stamp Set:
Ink: Basic Black
Cardstock: Whisper White, So Saffron & SAB Designer Series paper
Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Circle Die, White taffeta Ribbon, 1' and 3/4 " circle punches, trio flower punch, eyelet border punch, 1/4' punch (retired)

The only tricky part was taking the cardstock and lining it up to the edge of the Scallop Circle Die.  Next one I'll put it just a little bit closer. But just play around with it. Super fun to make and How cute the buggie!

DSC02605

Here they are together! I would so wrap the box in cellophane and tye a ribbon on the top and add a tag! : )

Now for the box…I just cut a piece of cardstock 3 1/8 x 8 1/2. Scored at 2 1/4 on the 8 1/2 side. Make 2 of them one for each box. Use your Wide Oval Punch or any other punch you may  have to make the handle.  Do one at time as the Cardstock is to thick to go through both of them. I also used sticky strip to attach to the boxes.

Anyway, Ill have some more ideas I'm sure when I get back from Convention. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.  I'll have a sneak peek of my Convention Swaps tomorrow..I'm editing the photos tonight.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin',

My 1st Hinge Card

Author: July 16, 2009 0 Comments

Lots of Bots Hinge Wow, Thursday already hope your week has been going well.

Well I've been editing, taking photos, RE-taking photos, stampin', getting ready for my Catalog Kick off..Yes, I've been super busy.

I have been wanting to do this card for awhile now.  It's called the Hinge Card.  I saw it in our Stampin' Success leaflet we get as Demo's every month! Great samples and it always has great little "WOW" features.

So last weekend I was going through my scraps, BOY, I've got tons!  So I'm using them up. This is  what I came up with.  I just HAD to use Stampin' Up!s new set "Lots of Bots".  I really LOVE this set.  I played with it lots yesterday.

Ok, so below is what it looks like open! This is super easy to do to. Which I like. What did I use?

Lots of Bots Hinge Open Card Recipe

Stamp Set: Lot's of Bots #115293
Ink: Black Staz-on
Cardstock: Kraft, So Saffron, Regal Rose, Whisper White
Accessories: Regal Rose Grograin Ribbon, SU Markers, Brad, Scallop edge punch, White gel pen

*All supplies used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Measurements you ask? Here goes:

Background piece (Kraft here) is the standard card size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

The top half which is So Saffron is 4 1/4 x 3, the botton half which is Certainly Celery is is the say size 4 1/4 x 3.  Ok, now stamp your image and matt it as desired. What I did for the message on the Kraft piece I placed the Certainly Celery on the bottom and used it as a guide and Stamped my Greeting.  Use the Scallop Edge punch if desired on your bottom piece.

Now to create the hinged front, Ppace the scallop edge of the Certainly Celery card stock over the bottom of the So Saffron card stock, overlapping it about 1/2". Punch a hole through both layers using your 1/16" punch or paper piercing tool then attach your brad.

Now adhere the bottom and sides of the Certainly Celery piece onto your background piece..here the Kraft piece. Don't adhere the So Saffron piece (top) or your card won't move. Tuck that piece under the Celery piece.

Now just slide the So Saffron card up and to the left to reveal your message. Voila!

Hope this made sense…if not please let me know I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stampin',

Razzle Dazzle meets the Sizzix Cake Die….

Author: July 14, 2009 0 Comments

Hello all I meant to post this yesterday and never got back on the computer.  LONG day!   Ok, so I've been playing with my Big Shot and the Lucky Die over the weekend was #116760 – Pop-Up Three Tier Cake Die…the Bigz xl dies.  I am SOOO loving this die.  This is my 2nd creation and am getting used to it.  Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

DSC02552 Ok, I also have to admit I'm truly loving this DSP too.

Card Recipe:

Stamp Set: Razzle Dazzle (116714), Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370)
Ink: Melon Mambo
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Razzleberry Lemonade, Whisper White
Accessories: Sizzix Dies – (116760) Pop-Up 3 tier cake, (113468) Scallop Circle, Modern Label Punch (116630), Word Window Punch (105090), 1 3/4 cirlce punch

DSC02554

Ok, now here is it open, you see the top of the cake, I used the 1 3/4" circle punch and it fit perfect!  SO…I then got the bright idea to, on the next card of course, to do the rest of the layers this way.  I saw this in the Stampin' Success magazine that we get every month and when I REALLY looked at the card I noticed it and thought…HMM how did they do that? Of course I read that the Circle Scissors plus was used after I had already put it all together.  Hey but they didn't use the 1 3/4 inch circle punch for the Top Layer which as I mentioned is a perfect fit.  Check out the photo below of a close up shot.

As always if you have any quesitons please let me know.
