BBQ Master Slider Card

 

 
I watched a video yesterday on how to make this secret slider card by Ronda.  I used different DSP but used the same stamp set.  The inside needs to get done first before you do the front.  See my instructions below.

Stamp Set:  BBQ Master

Cardstock:  Secret Sea, Basic White, Pecan Pie, Lunar Lustre, Lovely Blossoms DSP

Ink:  Secret Sea

Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, BBQ Master Dies, Nested Essential Dies, Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers, Paper Trimmer, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Multipurpose Glue, and Glue Dots

 

1.     The base of the card is Secret Sea cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 2-1/8” on each end of the cardstock.

2.    Now, trim approximately ¼” on both sides to leave a gap a little larger than the Stampin’ Dimensionals.

3.    Cut two 3-1/4” x 4-1/4” Secret Sea cardstock layers.

4.    From the DSP, cut two side strips for the front at 1-5/8” x 5-1/4”.  Cut the opposite side of the DSP at 3” x 4”.

5.    Do the inside: Cut Basic White cardstock at 3-1/2” x 4-3/4”.  Add leftover strips of DSP for the inside.  Ink up “Grillin and Chillin” on the inside with Secret Sea ink.

6.    Adhere the 3” x 4” DSP to one of the Secret Sea Layers.

7.    Insert the other Secret Sea layer inside the center, but do not glue it down.

8.    Close the card and add three Stampin’ Dimensionals inside the open space at the top, middle, and bottom of the inside Secret Sea.  Now attach the layered DSP and Secret Sea to it.

9.    Die cut a large Basic White Essential Die rounded square and ink up “to the Grill Master” at the top right, leaving room for the grill on the left. Attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals

10.  Ink up the grill stamp on Basic White with Secret Sea ink and die cut with the grill die from the BBQ Master Dies.  Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

11.   Cut out two small hot dog dies from Pecan Pie.  Cut a tongs from Lunar Lustre paper.  Adhere them to the grill with Glue Dots.  Add Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers.

Notes of Spring and Nature's Symphony

This is a masculine card that I made for a swap last month.  It uses lots of new stamps, but this deer is from the March Product of the Month, called Notes of Spring.  It is still available and can be purchased for $5 with an order of $75 or more.  Below are my instructions for my card.


Stamp Sets:  Notes of Spring, Nature’s Symphony

Cardstock:  Pecan Pie, Basic White, Mossy Meadow, Nature’s Walk DSP

Ink:  Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow, Balmy Blue

Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes Dies, Nature’s Symphony Dies, Lovely Arrangement Dies, Party Banner Dies, Multipurpose Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Earthy Matte Dots, Post-it Notes, Blender Brush, and Paper Snips

 

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

2.    The second layer is Nature’s Walk DSP cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the base front.

3.    The third layer is made with the Party Banner Dies using the 8th from the largest in Pecan Pie cardstock and the layered one with Nature’s Walk DSP with the 9th from the largest. Layer together and attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

4.    Die cut Mossy Meadow leaves from the Nature’s Symphony Dies.  Adhere to Banners.

5.    Using the Stylish Shapes Dies circles, die cut the 2nd from the largest using Basic White cardstock.

6.    Ink up the deer with Pecan Pie and stamp it on a post-it note, and trim out with the Paper Snips to create a mask.

7.    Then stamp the deer outline image on the White circle.  Use the 2-step image stamp to fill in the deer.  Use the deer mask to create the Mossy Meadow grass, and use a Blender Brush for the Balmy Blue sky.  Attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

8.    Attach 3 Earthy Matte Dots.

9.    Die cut a Pecan Pie sort of branch looking die.  Ink up “To a Great Guy” with Pecan Pie ink from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set.  Use the Lovely Arrangements label die to cut it out and adhere it to the bottom of the card.

Easter Basket - Hello, Spring

Rather than an Easter Basket, I made a Spring bouquet for my basket.  I love daffodils, and although there are other flowers in this Easter set.  My daffodils are up this year, but it is snowing here in Indiana.  

Here are the instructions for my card:

Stamp Set:  Easter Basket

Cardstock:  Shy Shamrock, Balmy Blue, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, 12” x 12” Whispers of Texture DSP, 12” x 12” Easter Joy DSP

Ink:  Shy Shamrock

Other: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Easter Basket Dies, Everyday Arches Dies, ¼” Balmy Blue Gingham Ribbon, Three Banner Punch, Easter Assortment, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

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

2.    The second layer is the Easter Joy DSP (plaid) and cut at 4” x 5-1/4”/ Wrap the ¼” Balmy Blue Gingham Ribbon around the Easter Joy DSP and adhere to the back using a strong adhesive.  Tie a bow on the right side, leaving the ribbon on the roll before trimming it off so it’s not wasted.

3.    Die cut a Balmy Blue arch from the Everyday Arches Dies (fourth from the largest).

4.    Die-cut a White basket from the Whispers of Textures DSP with the Easter Basket Dies.  Before adhering to the arch, die-cut your flowers.

5.    Die cut 5 leaves and stems from Shy Shamrock cardstock from the Easter Basket Dies and adhere to the basket with adhesive.

6.    Die cut 5 daffodils using Lemon Lolly and Peach Pie cardstock and adhere to the stems with adhesive.

7.    Adhere your spring basket bouquet of flowers to the Balmy Blue arch.  Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the arch and adhere to the front of the card.

8.    Ink up the sentiment “Hello, spring” with Shy Shamrock ink and punch out with the Three Banner Punch.  Adhere the Basic White banner to the basket.

9.    Adhere 3 Easter Assortment dots to the card.
