UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

A Simple Fold that works great for busy designer papers

Chris Slogar gave me this great idea!  It's such an easy way to use designer paper to make a quick card.

The card that slips inside is 4"x 5 1/2" or 4"x 5 1/4" if you want the DSP to show in the back.

Tutorial below

Below I used the Stitched Labels Dies and the the Well Written Dies along with the Ribbon Border Punch.

Below I simply added the Ribbon Border Punch pieces and three large rhinestones.

• Start with a 5 1/2"x 10 1/4" piece of designer paper.
• Score it at 3" and 7 1/4".
• Fold the ends of the paper in toward the center to the scored fold lines and then fold down the flaps.
• 
• Be careful when you add the adhesive that you will still be able to slip and 4"x 5 1/2" piece of c/s down into it.  Layer some white on top of the colored layer.
• 
• Score a 1"x 4 1/4" piece of DSP in half and round the ends. I used the Envelope Punch Board.
• 
• Add adhesive to the inside of the folded end piece and add it to the bottom to hold the folded DSP together.

Good Morning Magnolia with white Craft Ink

I got the inspiration for this card from Linda Dalke in Austrailia.

I'm taking the White Craft Ink, squirting the refill into the lid, and painting onto the card stock with an empty Aqua Painter.

Doesn't the white craft ink show up in a  beautiful way!

So here is what you will want to do:

• Stamp the Magnolia in the VersaMark Pad, add Gold EP, and emboss (onto the Crumb Cake c/s)
• Take an empty Aqua Painter and dip it into the white refill ink that you have squirted into the White Craft Pad lid.  Put the tip of the Aqua Painter into water if the craft ink gets too thick.
• Be careful with adding water.  If you get the ink too thin it won't really show up on the Crumb Cake c/s.
• I used my Heat Tool to dry the white ink after each layer.  I added three to four layers depending on how long it took to really look white.
• Make sure that the ink is dry.
• Take a sponge daubber and add Petal Pink ink to the center of each flower.
• Use the Fine Tip Glue to hold on the pearls because they do not stick well to the craft ink

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

Here is the video that I watched to learn how to make this card.

It looks complicated, but it really isn't.

The hearts are out of the Stitched Be Mine Dies.

This is the first one that I made with now retired products:  Petal Promenade DSP and an alphabet from long ago.

Triangle Corner Pop Up Card - Masculine

Because of the way that this card folds, you will need to be present to help the man you give this to figure out how to open it!!!!

The card looks like it would be complicated to make, but it is actually quite simple!

Click here to see Jackie Cooley's beautiful card that gave us the pattern to copy.

Start with an 8"x 8" square.  You'll score it at 4" going both directions. You also score the two diagonals.  Cut down the center on the bottom half.

Now all you have to do is add the card stock and any designer papers that you want to use.

For this particular card, I am using only card stock.

Cut three pieces of black c/s at 3 3/4" sq.

Cut three pieces of Real Red c/s at 3 1/2" sq.

Cut two of the squares combinations diagonally and layer them together like you see below.

The third square is left whole and is added in the bottom right quarter of the card.

I cut a 3"x 6" piece of black c/s and folded it in half.  Let the circle size that you choose hang off of the top so that the circle will NOT completely be cut in two. Fold the top half of the circle in half. See the picture two up.

Attach the bottom of the circle in the right square and then attach the car to it.  I cut the car out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I only cut one of the black gears die and cut it in half using one half on each side of the outer rectangles.

I will right my note in the square that is left gray.

When you close it up, it will look like this.

It won't look that exciting when you first pull it out of the envelope.  HOWEVER, as soon as they open it, they will love it!!!
