Birthday Slider Card

This is called a slider card.  I saw a video posted by Dawn Griffith on how to make these slider cards.
I used the Washi Label Punch to create the candles and the Bird Builder Punch to create the flame on the candle.

Here are more instructions on how to make this card:


Stamp Set:  Circle of Spring, Party with Cake (2016 Occasions)

Cardstock:  Melon Mambo, Whisper White, It’s My Party DSP, Gold Glimmer Paper, Silver, Glimmer Paper

Ink:  Archival Basic Black

Other:  1” Circle Punch, 1-3/4” Circle Punch, 2” Circle Punch, Paper Snips, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Washi Label Punch, Bird Builder Punch

1.      Base of card is 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.     The second layer is Whisper White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4”.

3.     The third layer is It’s My Party DSP cut at 3-3/4” x 5”.

4.     Start with the 1” Circle Punch by aligning punch to one side of the DSP.  Do the other side the exact same way.  Once you have the two holes, you connect them by cutting with your Paper Snips from one circle to the other.

5.     Another piece you will need is Melon Mambo cut a panel at 1-1/4” x 4-1/2”.

6.     Turn over DSP and place panel across the hole.  Use the long borders from the Dimensionals and line it up close to the panel on either side.  Put 4 or 5 full Dimensionals on the back below the panel.  Pull off backings and position onto the 4” x 5-1/4” Whisper White cardstock.

7.     Ink up “Make a wish” with the Basic Black Archival ink and stamp on the inside on the Whisper White cardstock to the very far right side.  Layer onto the base card.

8.     Stamp “Happy Birthday to you” with Basic Black Archival Black on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  Use the 1-3/4” Circle Punch to punch it out.  Punch out a 2” Melon Mambo circle with the 2” Circle Punch.  Layer together with Snail Adhesive.

9.     Then slide in your Melon Mambo panel and slide it over to the left to see where the right end will be and place a Dimensional on the Melon Mambo panel on the right side to serve as a blocker so the panel won’t go any further or fall out when you pull it to reveal the message.

10.   Add circle greeting on that Dimensional and make sure it is all the way to the right before you trim off the excess on the left side of your panel so it will be able to fit inside a regular-sized envelope.

11.    Using the Silver Glimmer Paper, punch out a 1” Circle and fold in half to attach to the left side of the panel to use as the pulley for the arm panel which makes it easy to grip when you pull it.

12.   Using the Washi Label Punch, punch out three candles from the Silver Glimmer Paper.  Put Snail Adhesive on the back and attach to the front of the card.

13.   Using the Bird Builder Punch, use the wing as the flame for the candles by cutting out three from the Gold Glimmer Paper.  Attach Dimensionals to the flames to add to the candles on the front of the card.

Congratulations - Beautiful Ride

This is another beach scene I made using the Wetlands little sandpipers again.  I added the people from the Beautiful Ride.

1.     The base of my card is Tempting Turquoise cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.     The second layer is Basic Black cut at 5-1/4” x 4”. 

3.     The third layer is Whisper White cut at 3-3/4” x 5”.

4.     The fourth layer is Crumb Cake cardstock which is cut at 2” x 5”.

5.     Take the Tempting Turquoise ink pad and lightly drag it down half the Whisper White cardstock.  Turn the cardstock and do the same with Crumb Cake.

6.     Mask part of the Tempting Turquoise side and with a sponge and Tempting Turquoise ink rub it back and forth to create the ocean from the sky.

7.     Ink up the Sandpipers from the Wetlands stamp set with Basic Black Archival and stamp on the Whisper White layer on the left with part of their heads in front of the ocean.  Use the Gel Pen to make waves in the ocean.

8.     Take the Crumb Cake cardstock and start tearing across the edge.  Sponge edges with Soft Suede ink.  Lightly sponge on the Crumb Cake to make it appear as sand or part of the beach.

9.     Stamp the people on Whisper White scrap with Archival Basic Black ink. Color them in with Stampin’ Write Markers of choice.

10.   Cut them out with Paper Snips and use a Smokey Slate marker to edge the sides of them.  Add the Clear Wink of Stella to their hair.

11.   Attach Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the right of the beach.

12.   Stamp “Congratulations You Two” from Beautiful Ride with Soft Suede ink on the left side of the beach.

Party Pants

The verse on my card "Put Your Party Pants On" come from the new Sale-A-Bration set called Party Pants which can be earned FREE with a $50 order (before tax and shipping).  The pants are made using the Washi Tape Punch.  The Whisper White Baker's twine is the draw string on the pants. The colors are Melon Mambo.  I used the Lots of Labels Punch and also the It's My Party DSP.   This is a card that I made for my swap this month.

St. Patrick's Day A Nice Cuppa

This is totally a case from Maria Fennelly's video, but just had to make one to show you how beautiful this card is using A Nice Cuppa stamp set in the 2016 Occasions catalog.

• The base of the card is Mint Macaron cut at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and the front of the card inserted into the Woodgrain TIEF and run through the Big Shot.
• With the Big shot, cut out two Whisper White and two Cucumber Crush cups and also two of the tea kettle.  Trim off the handle and top and bottom of the Cucumber Crush cup and glue it to the white cup. For the other white cup, you will have the handle on the left.  
• For the kettle, do the same as you did for the cups, and handle will be on the left.
• Punch out an Extra Large Oval of Whisper White and a Large Oval of Cucumber Crush to represent the saucer.  Glue cup to the saucer and insert them into the Elegant Dots TIEF and run it through the Big Shot.  Attach to the bottom right side of the card. 
• Punch out 4 or 5 of the flowers from Itty Bitty Pack Punches.  With the Paper Snips, trim the leaf to represent a stem to create a shamrock. Attach to the top of the cup. Add the Gold Wink of Stella to the shamrocks.
• Attach a Doily in the top left corner and trim off excess to square with the card with Paper Snips.
• Tie a 1" Dotted Lace Trim bow to the corner of the Doily.
• Stamp with Versamark ink "Happy St. Patrick's Day" on the Botanical Gardens Vellum (SAB)
• Sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder on it and heat set with the Heat Tool.
• Use the Note Tag Punch to punch it out as well as from Cucumber Crush cardstock.  Attach vellum tag to green tag and adhere underneath the ribbon with adhesive.
• With the Big Shot, cut out a spoon from the Gold Foil. Attach to the front of the card.
• For the inside, you need to cut Whisper White cardstock at 5-1/4" x 8" and folded in the middle at 4".
• Using the Paper Trimmer, put the folded edge up to the Trimmer, and at 1-1/2" cut 1" vertically, then at 2", cut 1" vertically, then 3" at 1" vertically, then 3-1/2" and cut 1" vertically to create the slits of your pop up.  Attach the kettle on the top left side of the slit with adhesive so to appear as it is pouring.  Glue the cup to the right of the bottom slit.
• Stamp "You are Tea-riffic" in the top right corner with Cucumber Crush ink.
• Attach the pop up to the card on side at a time with adhesive making sure it will open, then glue down the other side.

Tic Tac Bunny

This was not my original idea.  I saw a picture that Lynn Starlz had posted on her blog, but Connie Stewart had used another stamp set and these are the measurements she used to make Tic Tac Covers plus I added a bit of my own information. I thought it was so adorable that I had to make one and I hope to make more in time for Easter.

• Cut Blushing Bride cardstock at 4-5/8" x 3".  Score at 2" on each side.  Use the Bone Folder to crease the scored lines. You could round the corners if you wish.
• First I placed my approximately 12" of the 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon inside so I could tie it later, but that is optional.  Then position Tic Tac on the inside with Tear and Tape on the inside of the back cover. 
•  Use the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch first and then the 1-1/2" for his Whisper White body and sponge it with Blushing Bride around the edges.
• I kind of made a pattern (2" x 3") for the front so I would know the  placement of the 7/8"scallop circle through the Blushing Bride front and used a pencil to draw where to punch so the Tic Tacs would show through.
• The stamp set is Friends Flowers and I stamped everything with Archival Black ink on Whisper White cardstock.  The set coordinates with the Festive Flower Punch to create the bunny ears and feet and then colored in with a Blushing Bride marker.  For his head, you will need the 1-3/8" Circle Punch. I used a Dauber to brighten his cheeks/
• Adhere ears to the back of his head with Glue Dots and then attach with Dimensionals as well as his feet.
• Tie the ribbon on the side (optional)
• It will make a cute Easter gift for somebody.
