One of my lovely customers gave me the dimensions for this fun fold.  I love the 5 x 7 size and I cannot stop making them.  The first couple I made I cut the wrong end but it still worked ok.  Watch the video in my group or on tube (Feb 20th) and it will help a lot.  Links under the pics.

The dimensions are below
Card stock 10 1/2 by 7
Score at 1 1/2, 3 1/2, 5, 6 1/2, 8 1/2, 10

Fold all score lines and cut away the center in between the score lines.

This card is from the Seaside Wishes catalogue on page 73. I used basic white card stock, Crumb Cake, and Berry Burst ink. I stamped off to create the background. I popped up the first layer with dimensionals. The card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score at 4 1/4. The mat is basic white cut at 5 1/2 by 4. The background was stamped using crumb cake and stamped off so not as dark and the star fish are stamped off using berry burst.

The card below was made using crumb cake with a Coastal Cabanna mat. The star fish are die cut using Calypso coral. The Happy Birthday was stamped from the So Sincere Stamp set. The seaweed was diecut using old olive. The dimensions for this card are Crumb Cake cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The mat is cut at 5 1/4 by 4 using Coastal Cabanna and the 2nd mat is 5 by 3 3/4. The Happy Birthday was stamped using the So Sincere Stamp Set.

This third card is using Beige Cardstock and I used Crumb cake to ink the edges of the mat and sand dollars.  I cut the sand dollars using the 3d embossing folder with die.  Love the detail in these die cuts Watch the video to see how they were created.  So fun. The dimensions for this card are Beige card stock cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  The mat is 5 1/4 x 4 and I used scrap pieces of Berry Burst for the starfish.    .

Card Sketch Challenge #1

 Welcome to the first card sketch challenge for August.  Please post all your cards on the facebook group as I would love to see your take on this sketch.  

www.facebook.com/groups/1182787216215580/





This is the card Sketch we are working from.  Instructions and dimensions will be listed below. 

 

This is the card I made using these dimensions. 


Materials used

Blueberry Bushel Cardstock

Meandering Meadows DSP

white cardstock

Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls 

Instructions:


To begin I cut a card base from blueberry bushel 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2

I cut a piece of blueberry bushel cardstock 4  x 3 1/4 and embossed using the painted texture embossing folder

Dsp is cut to 5 1/4 x 4 for the mat and 4 x 31/4 for smaller mat

I cut a piece of white card stock 4 x 3/4 and another for inside card at 5 1/4 x 4











I attached the first mat to the card base using tombow liquid adhesive.  (like my glueholder?  :) 




 On the smaller cardstock and dsp I added dimensionals to the back of each and then attached on an angle





 I stamp the sentiment in melon mambo from Thoughtful expressions and just angled the sentiment strip and attached with dimensions. 


  

For the inside I attached white cardstock using adhesive and put a strip of dsp down the left side. 

Also the envelope was decorated with some leftover dsp.

Magnetic Storage

 https://amzn.to/3VV1UE2

Click on the above link to take you to this item.  These are great for storing  your dies and I cut the magnets to 5 ", use adhesive such as score tape to put inside case with stamps so I have my dies handy whenever I am using a certain stampin up stamp set that has coordinating dies.  When you use this link Stampin up pays me a little bit as a thank you.
