SSCC “Pink” Project AND a Tutorial

 

Happy Monday!!!

 

Our current challenge at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central is “Pink”.  Yep!  We want to see your PINK projects. 

For today’s project, I chose to do a card using the sketch from Friday Sketchers.  It’s a little busy to me….and I didn’t even add the ribbon.  ;o)

 

Here is the sketch.

And this is the card I made with it.  I think it looks like I slapped a bunch of stuff on there.  Maybe I did - LOL.  I have had my papers picked out, foil embossed & cut to size, stamped image colored and sentiment stamped, cut & embossed for about a week now.  But, I just put the card together at about 7 pm on 2/20…..knowing it’s due on 2/21.  *sigh*  I need to learn to plan ahead better.  LOL

For this project, I used:

• Image – Tilda w/Umbrella
• Embossing Folder – Tiny Bubbles
• Sentiment – SSD Beaded Circles
• Border Stamp – SSD Label Accents
• Flowers – SSD Micro Roses Open
• Pine Punch – McGill Pine Branch
• Skittles
• Star Dust Stickles
• Spica – Sand, Lemon, Pink
• Copics - E13, E15, E17, Y11, Y13, Y15, B000, B00, B02, E00, E000, E0000, C3, G24, RV00, RV02, RV000

 

And now for the Tutorial!!!  :-)

 

 

I would love to know what you think about the video!  :o)

Make sure you link up your PINK project at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Creating Shaped Cards

Today I'm going to show you how to create a gatefold circle card using a few basic Spellbinders™ die templates along with the Beaded Circle stamp set from StampingScrapping.



I started by measuring the diameter of the largest circle from the Standard Circles set.


You can see it measures 3-1/2" inches across. Now double that and subtract 1/4" which equals 6-3/4". Now divide that in half to find the center of the card which is where the opening will be. That will be 1-5/8".

The next step will be to score the card.

I'm using the Martha Stewart scoring board for this project. My paper measures 4" x 6-3/4". I place the edge of the card a the arrow which is 1'16" from the edge and scored at 1-5/8". Then I turned the cardstock around and scored the other side.



You can also use the Scor-Pal scoring board to create this card (mine was not with me when I shot the photos).

I use removable tape to keep the paper in place.



Next, die cut the scored card by placing the scored edges just inside the cut lines of the die template.



Adhere to Lacey Circles largest die template cut from black card stock.



Now to create the front panel of the card. I reverse stamped the Beaded Circles stamp onto white card stock with LuLu Lavender. Start by adhering the image side of the stamp the your block. I inked the back of the stamp, the smooth side.




I then place the stamp on the block with the image side down as usual. Inked it with Grape Jelly and stamped over the reverse image or also known as a shadow image. Then die cut it with the largest die template from the Standard Circles Small.



Adhere the circle to the front of the card with tape runner.



I finished off the card with a smaller Lacey Circle cut from black card stock. Stamped an image from the Anglaise Lace stamp set and die cut with a smaller circle. Stamped the sentiment and embellished with with Diamond Dots.





Here's a peek at the inside.



I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and will give it a try.

Enjoy!

Our CHA Adventure

A few of the Design Team members were fortunate enough to travel with Cindy and Kevin to CHA in California this year.  Sheri, Billie, Janine and I had a great time working in the Stamping Scrapping Designs booth, doing make and takes in the Notions and Spellbinders booths, and just walking around and soaking in all the new merchandise. 

Here is a picture of the Los Angeles convention center where CHA was held.
