A Daisy Thank You!

It is so much fun to combine the large and medium Daisy Punches.

This is an easy but striking card.

• The layer of white is 5 1/8"x 3 7/8".
• Stamp the greeting of your choice in Soft Suede and then run the white layer through the Layered Leaves EF.
• Stamp the daisies using Delightful Daffodil ink onto Delightful Daffodil c/s and punch them out:  two large and one medium.
• I used a Stitched Layered Square to mount the daisies with a dimensional.
• The Soft Suede Circle is punched out with the 1/2" Circle Punch.

I have listed what you will want to have on hand in order to make this card.

Easy Corner Fold Technique

Here is a simple card that is quick to make and that  gives you a way to use designer papers that are on the busy side.

This designer paper is from the Magnolia Lane series.

• The key to making this card is this.  Figure out which greeting you want to use first!
• Once you know the greeting you will use, then you can determine how deep the fold needs to be for the flap. You want to end up with the flap positioned at a right angle like you see above.
• I folded the Pearlized doily in half and added it over the flap.  So half of it also shows on the inside of the card.

 

I have listed what you will want to have on hand in order to make this card.

If you order is $150 or more, then you do not use the host code and you get the benefit of the hostess credit!  That's fun!!!

Botanical Butterfly Envelope Card

Even though the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper retired with Sale-a-Bration, a lot of you have it on hand.

I want to show you how pretty the Envelope Card is made with this series of black and white papers.

Click here to find more samples with this same idea.

 

So, just pretend that the c/s below is black and not green.  Find the middle of the c/s across the bottom (2 3/4") and make a mark.

Cut from the 2 3/4" point on the bottom, up to each corner.

Cut a 5"x 4" piece of white c/s like you see below.  Put a pencil mark at 2 1/2" which is halfway across the 5" bottom.

Cut from the pencil mark up to each corner. Use the upper center white triangle piece for the inside of the card.

Cut the 5"x 4" Designer Series Black and White Paper like you see below. Make a mark at the halfway point across the 5" bottom (2 1/2").  Cut from the pencil mark up to each of the corners.

Then just put the little puzzle pieces in place!!

I used a 2" Circle Punch for the black circle.

I used a 1 3/4" Circle Punch for the White circle.

I used the Butterfly Punch to punch out a black and white butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly DSP and added two rhinestones.

I added the punched out butterfly with Glue Dots so that the wings will pull up.

I have listed what you will want to have on hand in order to make this card.

I used the 1 3/4" Circle Punch which is now retired, so you can use a coordinating Layering Circle Die.  I didn't stamp the butterfly.  I punched it out of the Botanical Butterfly DSP from Sale-a-Bration.

Good Morning Magnolia: An Envelope Look

I saw this idea on Rachael Tessman's blog and changed it up just a little bit.

Here is my version of the envelope card.

This tutorial is using different DSP, but the idea is exactly the same.

First, cut the DSP of your choice to 4"x 5".  Mark the bottom center of the DSP at 2 1/2", which is half way across.  Cut from the 2 1/2" point up to each of the upper corners.

If you have  DSP with a darker background like the first card I posted above, mount these pieces straight onto the white c/s.

If you have DSP with a white background, then choose a darker piece of c/s to mount the DSP on.

I'm using Mossy Meadow below.

Mark the center point of the 5 1/2" width at the halfway point, which is 2 3/4".  Cut from the 2 3/4" point up to the fold on each side.

You will not use the two green corner pieces that you cut off.

Because you can't write very well on the Mossy Meadow c/s, cut a white piece to go on the inside.

Mark the center point of the 4"x 5" white piece at the bottom at the halfway point (2 1/2") and cut like you see below.

Mount the DSP onto the Mossy Meadow c/s and insert the extra white piece of c/s to write on.

Rachael's version has two folded wings like you see below.  I like the wings on colored c/s. See below.

I don't like the look of the wings when I'm working with a white card base.

I like them with the Mossy Meadow below. They create a nice "pop".

If you want to create the "wings", here is how you do it.

Using  the top half of an 8 1/2"x 5 1/2" piece of c/s which has been folded in half, mark the halfway point on the 5 1/2" direction (2 3/4").

From each of the bottom corners, measure up 2 1/4" and make a mark.  Score on all four of these score lines and then fold.

After the first fold, your card will look like this.

After you have folded both of the sides, your card will look like this.

I added some Tear & Tape to hold the "wings" in place.

When you close the card, it looks like this.

I have listed what you will want to have on hand in order to make this card.
