Easter Basket

Yes, I know Easter isn't until April this year, but as it gets closer, most of the items for this card will probably be hard to get because they will be so popular with Stampin' Up!  If they run out, they may not get their inventory back in stock until after Easter.  So, get them early before you can't!  This is little basket is so cool because the basket die has slits where you can weave in the cardstock or even ribbon.  It would make a cute May basket by adding two sections with a box in between for candy.  The little bunnies, chick, carrot, flowers, and eggs make it even more adorable.  The Specialty Designer Series Paper is so different than any we have had before.  It is hard to describe but it is just beautiful.

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set:  Easter Basket

Cardstock:  Balmy Blue, Basic White, Pecan Pie, Sky Shamrock, 12” x 12” Easter Joy DSP

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Balmy Blue

Stampin’ Blends:  Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia, Shy Shamrock

Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Easter Basket Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin’ Dimensials, Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Seal, Mini Glue Dots, ¼” Balmy Blue Gingham, Easter Assortment, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder

 

1.     The base of the card is Balmy Blue cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.

3.    Then cut the Easter Joy DSP at 4” x 5-1/4” and cut in half at 2-3/4” and attach to the bottom of the embossed Basic White cardstock.

4.    Wrap the ¼” Balmy Blue Gingham Ribbon around both layers where they meet and use adhesive in the back.  Then layer onto the card base.

Autumn Trees Gate-Fold Card

  

Sorry, that I am now posting this card.  I think the stamp set Autumn Trees retired but you can always use the gate-fold card and another tree stamp and DSP to create this card.  I learned the technique from Sunny Day Stamping.

Stamp Set:  Autumn Trees, Simply Said

Cardstock:  Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Autumn Toile DSP

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento or Early Espresso

Stampin’ Blends:  Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie

Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Simply Scored, Stylish Shapes Dies, Autumn Trees Dies, Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Thread Pack, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

 

1.     The card base is Mossy Meadow cut at 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”.

2.    The Fun Fold layer is also Mossy Meadow cut at 5-1/4” x 7-1/4” and scored at 1-3/8”, 2-1/2”, 4-3/4” and 5-7/8” on the long side.

3.    Cut the Autumn Toile DSP at 4” x 5-1/4” for the base.  Adhere with Multipurpose Glue.

4.    Cut the front strips at 1-1/8” x 5” and inside strips at 7/8” x 5” and adhere with Multipurpose Glue.

5.    The Basic White cardstock on the inside is 2” x 5” and you can also cut one for the back at 4” x 5-1/4”.  Ink up the inside Basic White with the rocks and foliage stamps and color in with the Blends.  Ink up “Just a Note” from Simply Said with Tuxedo Black Memento and stamp above the rocks.  Adhere.

6.    Stamp the tree on Basic White cardstock and color in the trunk and branches with Pecan Pie Blends.  Color the tree leaves with Mossy Meadow Blends. Die cut with the Autumn Tree Dies.  Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add to the left side of the fun fold section only.

7.    Ink up “Hello” from Simply Said on Basic White label from Stylish Shapes Dies and adhere to the right center of the tree.  Add Linen Thread with Streaked Dots.

Homemade Treats

This is a card that I made last month from a tutorial I purchased from Debra Harrison, a fellow demonstrator.  The card was originally created by Melissa Faust.  It uses the Homemade Treats Bundle and the Gingerbread Bundle to create this card.  The background is the adorable Embossing Folder called Jolly Holly Hybrid 3D.  I used the Stylish Shapes Dies, Traditions of Christmas DSP, Traditional Sparkling Sequins,
