TGIFC369 - Card with pocket using Abigail Rose Suite

 Hello Crafty friends! 

I am so excited to share with you my latest creation entered into this week's TGIF Challenges.

I must say that the Abigail Rose Suite is my favorite suite in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog (pg.56-57) by Stampin' UP! The soft colors, textures and design are absolutely gorgeous!

My project came into being as I was looking ahead on having something for my boy's school teachers as we approach the end of the school year.  I had to create a beautifully elegant sleeve for this card to express the immense gratitude we have for our teachers. They truly are the heroes of our day!

I wanted to give the teacher a card to include a picture of my boy on one side and a note on the other side as you can see below.

I do plan on creating a video tutorial on how to make this so be on the lookout!

video coming soon

Until then, I will leave you with some dimensions below.

#TGIFC349 - Pocket Card with Ribbon closure

 Hello crafty friends!

I'm joining TGIF Challenges this week to present to you my version of adding a closure as posed by challenge #TGIFC349.

I created a pocket card using lots of NEW products from the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog and the 2022 Sale-A-Bration brochure.

Below is a video tutorial I created for this fun fold pocket card. Exact dimensions and supplies are further below.

Cardmaking Tips:

• I CASED the dimensions for this pocket card from Cazz Boylan. The finished dimensions for this is 3" x 6" when closed and 6" x 9" when open.
• Score a 12"x12" piece of Very Vanilla card stock at 6". Rotate the paper counter-clockwise and score at 3", 6" and 9". Rotate the paper counter-clockwise again and score at the 3" mark up to the last score line. Remove the 3 squares as marked in the image below. Trim off 1/8" from the right edge in order to fold in.
  

• You'll need 1" x 6" Basic Black Cardstock - for border using Eden dies (card front).
• You'll need to cut the following pieces from the Daffodil Afternoon DSP: 3" x 6" (card front), 3 pcs - 2 7/8" x 2 7/8", 3 pcs - 2 3/4" x 5 3/4"
• you'll need to cut the following pieces from Very Vanilla Cardstock: 3 pcs - 2 1/2" x 5 3/4" , 2 5/8" x 2 5/8", a scrap piece for the sentiment (card front).
• 16" length of Pale Papaya 3/8" ribbon.

His & Hers birthday cards

September stamp club was super fun! I sure hope my gals enjoyed their projects as we put together a His and Hers birthday cards! They look like they're enjoying themselves, don't they??!!

 My card design was "cased" from one of this year's convention presentations. I knew I had to make one of these as soon as I could. Here's what Shelli featured at convention.

I decided to create a His & Hers birthday cards considering that I pretty much have a birthday every day this month plus there's always a birthday card to be made for someone, right?!

The awesome part about these cards is that when you open the top flap, the sentiment comes right out with it! Super COOL!

My TIPS:

• cut your base cardstock to 4 1/4"x11" then score at 1 1/2"
   and 7".
• use sticky strip on the edges of your card base to create the pocket as shown below.

•   create the inside piece by cutting a 3 1/2"x3 1/4" piece of cardstock and scoring it to 1/4". 
•  Adhere sticky strip above the score line.

• Place the 3 1/2"x 3 1/4" piece of CS inside the pocket then fold top flap over the CS piece to adhere.

Supplies Used for "HER":

• cardstock: crumb cake, crisp cantaloupe, summer starfruit, very vanilla, silver glimmer paper
• DSP: birthday basics
• inks: crisp cantaloupe
•  stamp set: chalk talk, yippee-skipee!
• punches: extra large oval, hexagon (to flag the ends), scallop edge border, itty bitty shapes
• framelits: chalk talk
•  My digital studio (for the bow)
• polka dots embossing folder
• black embossing powder 

 Supplies Used for "HIM": 

• cardstock: crumb cake, whisper white, bermuda bay, gumball green,  basic gray
•  inks: basic gray, gumball green, bermuda bay
•  stamp set: morning post alphabet, memorable moments, dapper dad (retired)
