Stamp Club March 2017

The card I demonstrated is CASEed from a sample I received from my fabulous upline, Connie!  It is a fun-fold card.  It's really cool, but isn't hard to do!  Love it!  The stamp sets I used are Sale-A-Bration sets, so get yours before the sale ends on March 31st!  Each set is FREE with a $50+ order!

The first fold!

Here is the card open all the way!  How fun!

TIPS:

-When stamping on the Whisper White, stamp off first (ink up stamp, stamp on scrap paper, and then stamp on card stock).

-Tilt the words “Thank You” a little so they fit on the card stock.

This make-n-n-take uses the Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper, which is also a Sale-A-Bration item.  To make this we uses a sponge and dabbed 2 different colors on the paper.  It's a quick and easy way to get color on the Inside the Lines Paper!

Maybe you like the card better with just one heart colored!

Same idea, but the heart was colored with the Watercolor Pencils.  The card stock is Basic Black and Sahara Sand.

TIP:

-Use the sponge to add So Saffron and Wild Wasabi ink to the heart(s).

The next make-n-take was done with the Paper Weaving Window technique.  The sample on the left was made by attaching the different colors of glimmer paper at a diagonal, alternating colors.  It is kind of the same look, but is much faster!  The sample on the right is made by attaching one color in a diagonal pattern.  Then take the other color and weave it through. The black card stock is attached to the back after the weaving is complete.

ribbon- 3/8” Ruched- Sweet Sugarplum

Big Shot

Layering Squares Framelits

punch- ¼” circle

dimensionals

mini glue dots

TIPS:

-The Paper Piercer works great to pick up Mini Glue Dots!  Use them to attach the glimmer paper to the back of the window.

-Rub the ink pad directly on the  Mint Macaron card stock.  This is called Direct-to-Paper.

-This technique is called Paper Weaving Window.  I first saw this technique at www.flowerbug.typepad.com.

The last make-n-take (yep, Stamp Club members make 3 make-n-takes!!) is simple on the outside.  Just some quick stamping and some washi tape. 

But the inside holds a Window Sheet surprise!  

The ice cream cone is on the front and back of the window sheet so there isn't a "back" side that wouldn't look as good.

To begin, you need to cut the card stock for the front and back of the card separately.  Fold on the score line and use Tear and Tape to attach the window sheet in-between the front and back pieces.  

stamps:

*Cool Treats

paper:

Tangerine Tango (2 sheets, each 4 3/4” x 5 1/2”, score at ½” so you have a 4 1/4"” x 5 ½” piece with a ½” tab).

Crushed Curry (3 ½” x 4 ¾”)

Whisper White (3 ¼” x 4 ½” and 4” x 5 ¼”-for inside)

Window Sheet (4 ¼” x 5 ½”)

ink:

Tangerine Tango

Crumb Cake

accessories:

medium envelope- Whisper White

*Washi Tape-Party Animal

Tear & Tape

Big Shot

*Frozen Treats Framelits

TIPS:

-Use Tear & Tape to adhere the card stock tabs to the Window Sheet.  It will need something really sticky to hold it together!

-Use Fast Fuse to attach card stock to the Window Sheet.

-Use StazOn if you stamp on the Window Sheet.  We didn't on this card, but it looks really neat to have something stamped on the window sheet, too!
