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.

Happy Stampin',

It’s good to Dream….

Author: July 12, 2009 0 Comments

Wow what happened??? Man, I get home and it's just go…go..go all week long. From Kindergarten Dr.s Appt., my poor baby had 3 shots : (, then he had a Dental, Birthday Party at Chuckies (couldn't miss that) oh and in between all of this I was catching up on house stuff. UGH! But sometimes being a Mom and a wife need to come first. I need a vacation from my vacation! LOL! 

BUT I did manage to get some stampin done!  I know when.  I also had to do some MAJOR re-organizing.  Which is always a work in progress. BUT I feel so much better.  Ok, so please accept my apologies while trying to balance all this and now on to the first card with my new goodies. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.

    My son’s 5th Birthday today and Birthday Card Share

    Author: June 29, 2009 0 Comments

    Hello all and Happy Monday!  Or is it?  We just now got into Pismo Beach, Ca. I LOVE it here.  Before I forgot there are 2 more days left to order from the Catalog until the New one which will start July 1st (Wednesday) Woo Hoo!  I can't wait.  SO many new goodies to play with.

    DSC02282 Well it's my Son Marcus's 5th Birthday today and we'll be taking him to Chuckie Cheese's later tonight. That's where he wants to go.   He's the boss!

    So for today's share I wanted to share the card that I made for his Birthday. Didn't come out the way I wanted it to BUT I had to improvise. I was trying to use Sticky Numbers for the 5…BUT it didn't place right on the cardstock and when I tried to slowly peel it off…let's just say it wasn't pretty. SO what I did was just placed it on this card and sponged around it.

    I used the All in the Family Set by Stampin' Up!. I  used all the In-Colors too which will no longer be available after tomorrow. 

    Enjoy and if you have any quesitons please let me know. Thanks for stopping by!
