JUST MY TYPE SWAP CARD!

 Hi, Friends,

Today I want to share with you a card I made for a monthly card swap I am in.  I used the Just My Type stamp set and Delightfully Eclectic DSP, one of my favorite papers this year!

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  Just My Type

     CARDSTOCK:

          Night of Navy 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

          Bubble Gum 4 x 5-1/4

          Delightfully Eclectic DSP 2-3/4 x 5-1/8

          Delightfully Eclectic DSP 1-1/2 x 5-1/8

               SCRAPS:  Basic White

               INSIDE:

                    Bubble Gum 3-3/4 x 5

                    Basic White 3-5/8 x 4-7/8

     INK:  Night of Navy, Bubble Gum

     BLENDS:  Daffodil Delight (D), Bubble Gum (D), Misty Moonlight (L)

     DIES:  Stylish Shapes Dies

     MISCELLANEOUS:  SU Die Cut Machine, Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

And here is the inside of the card:

It is a little busier than I usually make a card, but I wanted to use the sentiment and the rainbow!

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use Night of Navy ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Stamp sentiment toward the left top of the inside panel using Night of Navy ink.  Also using Night of Navy ink, stamp the rainbow to the right of the sentiment.  Color using markers.

3.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

4.  Adhere patterned paper to Bubble Gum Cardstock.  Wrap Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon around “seam” of patterned paper and tie in knot.  Trim ends.

5.  Adhere panel to card base.

6.  Use Night of Navy ink to stamp typewriter on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.  Stamp “paper/sentiment” at top of typewriter using Night of Navy ink.  Use Bubble Gum ink to stamp heart over sentiment.  Cut out using Stylish Shapes Die and SU Die Cut Machine.

7.  Attach die cut stamped image to the left side of the card base front using dimensionals.

8.  Add rhinestones (see sample for placement).

After you finish your card, mail it to a friend!  I think we all have cards that we are holding onto, and probably should be mailing them out to brighten people’s day!  

Hope you enjoyed today’s project!  Stop by soon to see what I am working on!

Happy stamping,

DAINTY DELIGHT/LASTING JOY GATE FOLD POP UP CARD!

 Hi, Friends,

The card I am sharing to day is from our June Play Day.  It is a fun fold that I found the diagram from Nancy Thompson, createwithnancy.com, post dated February 22, 2023.  I did change the size of the center front panel a tiny bit, but you can easily change that up a bit to fit the image you are using.  We used the Dainty Delight stamp set for our flower image and the Lasting Joy stamp set for our sentiment.  Here is a picture of our card:

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  Dainty Delight, Lasting Joy

     CARDSTOCK:  

          Crumb Cake:  5-1/2 x 8 (follow score and cut directions on diagram from Nancy Thompson, 

          Createwithnancy.com, post dated February 22, 2023)

          SIDE PANELS:

               Pretty Peacock:  1-7/8 x 5-3/8 (4)

               Delightfully Eclectic DSP:  1–3/4 x 5-1/4 (4)

          CENTER TOP AND BOTTOM PANELS:

               Pretty Peacock:  1-1/8 x 1-7/8 (8)

               Delightfully Eclectic DSP:  1 x 1-3/4 (8)

          CENTER PANEL:

               FRONT:  

                    Pretty Peacock:  2-7/8 x 2-7/8

                    Basic White:  2-3/4 x 2-3/4

               BACK:

                    Basic White:  1-7/8 x 2-3/4

This is what the back of the card looks like.  The Basic White panel in the center gives you a space to sign your name and write a very brief message.

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Adhere patterned paper to Pretty Peacock Cardstock side panels.  Adhere side panels to front and back of card base.  Use sample to help with placement of panels.

2.  Adhere patterned paper to Pretty Peacock Cardstock (center top and bottom panels).  Adhere to top and bottom panels.  Use sample to help with placement of panels.

3.  Adhere smaller Basic White Cardstock to center panel on back of card base (This panel is to write message in and sign your name.)

4.  Use Night of Navy ink to stamp flower image on left side of Basic White front panel.  Color using markers.

5.  Adhere stamped panel to Pretty Peacock Cardstock.

6.  Place adhesive of your choice on center panel of card base.  While centering the stamped image on the card base, lay the stamped panel on top of the adhesive.

7.  Stamp sentiment on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.  Cut out using die and SU Die Cut Machine.  Attach sentiment panel to lower right corner of front center stamped panel using dimensionals.

8.  Add rhinestones (see sample for placement(.

Thanks for stopping by to see our project today!  Hope you have an awesome day with lots of time for crafting!

Happy stamping,
