Growing Green Slider

Here is a cool Card made with the Growing Green Stamp set. This was one of my class projects this week. To make this card you cut your cardstock the opposite way you normally would so you end up with a piece of paper that is 4.25 x 11 . Then you fold that in half. Then, fold the front back about an inch to create the flap. Round all the corners and then attach the flap down with brads. Now you have a pocket! Then decorate as you'd like I used the Scalloped Circle Big shot die and the Growing Green stamp set.

Then you can make a slider to go inside. Here's how mine turned out:

These are fun cards to give-- people like the fun format and you can easily write or stamp a message on the sliding part!

stamps: Growing Green, Sincere Salutations
ink:Wild wasabi, Crumb Cake
paper: Wild Wasabi, Whisper White
other: Brads, corner rounder, Thick striped Grosgrain ribbon, Big shot Scallop Circle Die

Growing Green Card

When I looked at the new Idea Book and Catalog, this set (Growing Green) was immediately one of my favorites! I love how pretty and elegant the outlined flowers are! Here is a really simple card made using it. I started with Crumb Cake Cardstock for the base. The green polka-dotted paper is from the woodland walk designer paper pack which coordinates perfectly with this set. I stamped the flower twice with early espresso ink and once in the middle with crumb cake ink. Then added some rich razzleberry 1/8" taffeta ribbon to add a little pop of color. The sentiment is from the set heard from the heart.

stamps: heard from the heart, growing green
ink: early espresso, crumb cake
paper: crumb cake, early espresso, very vanilla, Woodland Walk Designer Series
other: rich razzleberry 1/8" taffeta ribbon, dimensionals

lollipop!

Mmmm. Lollipop! This cute little flower pot holds a dum-dum :) I made this a while ago so I don't remember the exact dimensions but wanted to share it with you. You make the bottom by creating a pot out of cardstock and then hold it closed with brads. Then I cut out a flower for the top using the XL Flower Folds die with a piece of designer paper in the middle! Super cute!

paper: Blushing Bride, Peach Parfait, Island Oasis Designer paper
other: XL flower folds die (big shot), dum dum, brads, scoring tool

Mario Birthday!

Do you know anyone who loves video games? My little brother does so I thought it would be fun to make him a card with Mario from the Nintendo game Super Mario Brothers! To make this card I used a variety of punches to create the Mario face. Then I attached him to a Top Note die (cut with Big shot) and added some retired ribbon to the front. The clouds were made by punching out a scallop circle and then sponging over it, using the punched shape as a mask! Then, to finish it off, I used the sentiment from the hostess set Longfellows.

I hope he liked it! It was fun to make. Here's a close-up:

oh, I almost forgot, I stamped the "m" for Mario using the stamp set Rough Type.

Island Floral with 3D Flower

Here is another cool 3D flower and the last of the projects we made at my 3D flowers class. This one uses the top note die and the cool flower stamps from the Tropical Party stamp (found in the summer mini). This is a really simple card which helps the pretty flower stand out even more. This flower was made by punching a strip of designer paper with the scallop border punch. Then you score it at every dip in the scallop and carefully fold it in to make the flower. It's hard to describe without showing you :) Hope you liked my 3D flowers, I had a ton of fun learning how to make all of them and showing the ladies who took my class!

stamps: Tropical Party, Sincere Salutations
paper: Old olive, whisper white, Island Oasis Designer Paper, rose red
ink: old olive, pumpkin pie, rose red, so saffron, early espresso
other: Scallop Border punch, glue, small circle punch, scoring tool

Mini Pizza Box with Rose

Remember this pretty rose? I made one a while ago on a gift bag here. I wanted to use it again in my 3D flowers class so here is what I came up with... it's a little pizza-style box. Check out the old post for directions on how to make the rose.

For the box top and bottom I cut two squares out of Pear Pizzazz paper using the big shot Scallop Square die-- you can cut both at once since this is one of the bigger dies that cuts through thick stuff. Then I used Blushing Bride cardstock to make the box. To decorate it I stamped the leaves from the Growing Green Stamp set on a square of vanilla and then attached my rose with sticky Strip on the top. Here is how the box opens:


stamps:Growing Green
ink:Pear Pizzazz
paper: Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride
other: Ornament Punch, Scallop Square Big Shot die.

Beautiful Rose!

Isn't this rose just gorgeous? This was one of the projects that we made at my 3D Flowers class last Thursday. This one is my favorite... I just love how pretty it looks!

Here is a close-up image:

This rose is made by punching flowers with the XL flower punch and gluing and layering... It takes a little time and you have to be patient while waiting for the glue to dry -- but it's so worth it because it turns out so pretty!

Here's what the little pouch looks like on the inside:

To make the pouch, start with a piece of card stock (mine was early espresso) that is 8" x 3 1/4". Score it on the long side at 3 1/2" and 4 1/2". Then it makes a nice little triangle shape. For the flap I used the Top Note big shot die, folded in half to make a flap. This is by far, my FAVORITE die. I apologize if you're sick of seeing it in my projects but I just love using it!

The gorgeous stamp is from the set Friends Never Fade. I also used the greeting from the hostess set Because I Care on the flap of the pouch along with some of the new poly-stitched ribbon in pear pizazz. I used a little Velcro dot to keep it closed (bought from a local craft store). Inside is a little cello bag filled with Hershey kisses! What a perfect little thank you gift!

stamps:Because I care, Friends Never Fade
ink: Regal Rose, Early Espresso
paper: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Regal Rose
other: Velcro Dot, Small Cello Bag, Pear Pizzazz, XL flower punch, Top Note Big Shot Die
