Easter Cards

I thought I'd try making a shaped card for this little bunny. He's one of the critters from my Cute Critters Punch Art Class. I used the largest heart framelit to make the card base and the second largest heart to cut my DSP. Once I put the bow on I found I also liked the card on its own so I've posted both versions

Make Your Own Envelopes

Donna Griffith showed us how to make these adorable envelopes using the Diagonal Score Plate and Designer Series Paper. I tried several different sizes and thought I'd put them all in a document for easy reference. I have the measurements for 28 different size envelopes that you can

download here Download Diagonal Score Plate Envelopes.

If you watched Donna's demonstration you know how easy these are to make. I've put together a video showing how to make a few different size envelopes including the open end style for long cards.

Diagonal Plate Card Box

Here's a project using the new Simply Scored Diagonal Scoring Plate (shown in my last post). I won a diagonal scoring plate at leadership so I've had a little bit of time to play with it. I'm hoping to have time to post a few more projects this week. Here's an Envelope Style Card Box I made using the Diagonal Score Plate.

 

Stocking Gift Card Holder

This is a quick and easy gift card holder I designed for our Christmas SAS class. I used the Petite Pocket die, the Holiday Stocking die and the Stocking Accents die (all from Stampin' Up). I love using the big shot when you have to prep over 100 cards.

To make this gift card holder cut a stocking from DSP and one stocking with toe, heel and cuff from White card stock. Cut a petite pocket from white card stock and cut it off at the scoreline. You can download the class handout  Download Stocking Gift Card Holder for instructions on how to assemble your gift card holder. If you'd like to use this handout for a class, feel free.

Blossom Basket

 Just in time for Stampin' Up's Designer Series promotion....

This little basket is made from the Blossom Box die. I just got my box of goodies that I ordered from the 2011 Idea Book and Catalogue and I couldn't wait to try out this die. I don't like to waste paper so I made the tag from the extra strip that was left over. You can find the tutorial for the basket here Download Blossom Basket

And Still More Swaps

I made this card for a masculine swap I was in. I love the black and grey DSP! I cut it into 2" x 4" strips so I was able to get lots of cards from one pad of DSP. The 3D butterflies are made from 2 butterfly punched shapes. I folded them in half, drew the body on the card with a marker and glued a folded butterfly on either side of the body. The wings still stuck out after being squished in my suitcase for several hours

Fishy Friends

This was going to be one of my cards for the SUDSOL Blog Tour on May 17th but I'm too excited to wait. I came up with some other ideas for the tour so I can share this one early. It didn't photograph very well but the fish bowl is vellum with the kitty hanging over the side. I made up FREE downloadable instruction sheets for the cards I'll be sharing over the next few days and for the blog tour. Here are the instructions for the Fishy Friends card Download Fishy Friends. I hope you come back to join me for the tour!

 

 

Spring Triple Punch Blossoms

I was trying to find something different to do with the new Triple Layer Punches. Here's a quick and easy spring card made with the Doily Triple Layer Punch and the Trendy Trees stamp set.
