It's SPRING and only a few more weeks until Easter. The SPRINGTIJME JOY Stamp Set has been a favorite for me so I thought I'd use it to make this adorable EASTER FUN FOLD CARD.
For the
card base, start with a piece of ROCOCCO ROSE card stock measuring 4-1/4in by
11in. Score on the LONG SIDE at 4-1/4in
and 5-1/2in. Crease all the score lines
and use adhesive on the 1-1/4in section of the card to the back of the card
base. Cut two pieces of HYDRANGEA HILL
DSP, cut at 4in by 4in and 4in by 1-1/8in.
Adhere them to your card front as shown.
Using the
STITCHED SHAPES DIES, cut out the largest circle in BLUSHING BRIDE card
stock. Stamp the Easter sentiment from the SPRINGTIME JOY Stamp Set in
MEMENTO BLACK INK in the top half of the circle.
On a piece of BASIC WHITE card stock, stamp
the bunny and basket image using MEMENTO BLACK INK.Color the images using ROCOCCO ROSE, SOFT
SEAFOAM, CRUMB CAKE, HIGHLAND HEATHER, SO SAFFRON, PETAL PINK and OLD OLIVE BLENDS.Fussy cut the images out and adhere them to
the card front using DIMENSIONALS.For
the flowers on the card front, I used the PIERCED BLOOMS DIES,
cutting the flowers our of ROCOCCO ROSE card stock and the leaves out of SOFT
SEAFOAM.
Adhere them at the top right
hand side of the circle as shown and embellish with PEARLS.Tie a piece of CRINKLED SEAM BINDING around
the top of the card.
For the
FUN FOLD inside, start with a piece of the same or coordinating DSP cut at 6in
by 6in. Fold in half both ways and point
to point both ways and crease with your BONE FOLDER. Fold it together to form squares on the top
and bottom and adhere to the inside of the card. Next, cut a STITCHED CIRCLE in BASIC WHITE
and a coordinating scallop in ROCOCCO ROSE card stock. Stamp the sentiment on the circle using
MEMENTO BLACK INK, adhere it to the scallop and put it on the inside of the FUN
FOLD panel at the top using DIMENSIONALS.
Finally, adhere a square of BASIC WHITE card stock at 2-3/4in by
2-3/4in.
Below is a video tutorial that shows how the card comes together.
And that's it. Such a simple design that can provide the WOW in your card for any occasions. All the products I used for this projects are available in my online store. Just click below.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I hope you feel inspired to try some creating yourself. Come back next week. I'll be sharing a variety of CLEAR CARD samples. Something new I've discovered. They are fun and easy to make.
I think Spring is finally here in York PA. We have had a nice string of beautiful days. The daffodils are poking through and the birds are chirping way too early in the morning. The projects on this post can be used for lots of occasions. They would be great for Easter treats, spring birthdays, Mother's Day and even wedding or party favors.
My first project is the Little Lamb Mini Gift Bag. For the box, cut a piece of POOL PARTY card stock
at 4in by 11in. Before scoring, randomly stamp the panel with the butterfly image
from the SPRINGTIME JOY stamp set using POOL PARTY INK. Then score on the LONG SIDE at 2-1/4in,
3-1/4in, 5-1/2in and 6-1/2in. Score the
SHORT SIDE at 1in.
To make
the front panel, cut a piece of BASIC WHITE card stock at 2-1/8in by 2-13/16in. Layer on to that piece a piece of HIGHLAND
HEATHER card stock cut at 1-7/8in by 2-5/8in.
On a scrap piece of BASIC WHITE, stamp the lamb image from the SPRINGTIME
JOY stamp set in MEMENTO INK. I used
SMOKY SLATE, PETAL PINK, SOFT SEAFOAM, POOL PARTY and HIGHLAND HEATHER
BLENDS. I then “fussy cut” the lamb
image and placed it on the mini treat bag using DIMENSIONALS.
On the
back of the bag, I used a 2-3/4in by 1-5/8in size BASIC WHITE, scalloped, stitched
rectangle from the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES.
I stamped the sentiment at the top of the rectangle and stamped the
flower images at the bottom. I colored
the flowers using HIGHLAND HEATHER, POOL PARTY and SOFT SEAFOAM BLENDS. I then placed the rectangle on the back of
the treat bag using DIMENSIONALS. Finally,
I punched holes in the sides of the box and tied a piece of TRICOLOR RIBBON for
the handle.
The second project is the Favor Box with a Belly Band. I love this box because of its unique opening.
Start with
a piece of POOL PARTY card stock cut at 7in by 6-1/2in. On the LONGSIDE, score at 2in and 5in.Score at 1in, 3in, 4in and 6in on the SHORT
SIDE.With the 1in section at the top,
score at 1-1/2in and 5-1/2in to the second score line.
After
assembly, adhere a piece of FINE ARTS FLORAL DSP cut at 2-7/8in by
1-7/8in. For the belly band stamp the
sentiment on a scrap of BASIC WHITE card stock using a sentiment from the OVAL
OCCASIONS stamp set.
Using the DOUBLE
OVAL PUNCH, punch out the sentiment using the scallop. Using the second smallest oval in the
STITCHED SHAPES DIES, cut out a POOL PARTY oval. Layer those pieces using DIMENSIONALS. Finally use a 3/4in strip of POOL PARTY card
stock to make the belly band.
The last product is the teeniest. This cute little treat box holds one pack of the MINI TIC TACS.
I started with a piece of SOFT SEAFOAM card stock cut at 2-5/8in by
3-7/8in. On the SHORT SIDE, score at 5/8in
and 2in. Score at 5/8in, 1-5/8in,
2-1/4in and 3-1/4in. Stamp the butterfly and the tulip image from the SPRINGTIME JOY stamp
set on BASIC WHITE card stock with MEMENTO INK.I colored the images with FLIRTY FLAMINGO, HIGHLAND HEATHER and OLD OLIVE
BLENDS.I “fussy cut” the images and
adhered them to the front of the box using DIMENSIONALS. The link below is where I got these cute little mini Tic Tac boxes
Below is the video tutorial that shows how these three boxes come together.
There you have it, THREE GREAT PROJECTS. I hope you are inspired to try them yourself. All the products used for these projects can be purchased in my online store. Click below.
Thank you for dropping by my blog. Next week I will be making a beautiful FUN FOLD EASTER CARD featuring the SPRINGTIME JOY stamp set and the HYDRANGEA HILL DSP. Fun!!
Spring is almost here in York, PA. The weather hasn't always cooperated but I can tell it's coming because the days are getting longer and the stores are stocked with Easter treats. The SPRINGTIME JOY Stamp Set, with its adorable animal images, is the perfect starting point for Spring treat boxes.
My first project is this quick and easy cookie pouch. I purchased individually wrapped coconut macaroons on Amazon to put inside but many other cookies would fit. The picture below shows HYDRANGEA HILL Designer series paper but I made over twenty of these using up all my extra paper. I just changed the color of the tag and the BLENDS I used to color the flowers. So simple. Here's the Amazon link.
1)Start with
a piece of HYDRANGEA HILL Designer Series Paper cut at 10-1/2in by 5in. On the SHORT SIDE, cut at 1/2in from both
sides. On the LONG SIDE, score at 2in
and 6in, 6-1/2in. Using your PAPER SNIPS, cut the
1/2in margins off the 2in panel of the DSP.
Cut loose the square tabs along the outside edges of the paper. Using the TRIO PUNCH, round the corners on that
panel as well. Adhere the outside panels
together to create the pouch.
2)For the
tag, die cut the label from the PIERCED BLOOMS DIES using SEASIDE SPRAY card
stock. Stamp the bunny image on BASIC
WHITE card stock using MEMENTO BLACK INK.
Color the bunny using SMOKY SLATE and PETAL PINK BLENDS. For the flower crown, I used HIGHLAND HEATHER,
SEASIDE SPRAY and SOFT SEAFOAM BLENDS. "Fussy cut" the bunny image and adhere it to the tag with dimensionals. Stamp the WELCOME SPRING sentiment on a 1/2in
strip of SOFT SEAFOAM card stock. Punch
a hole in the top of the tag and tie it to the treat pouch using the GORGEOUS
GRAPE RIBBON.
Are you a PEEPS fan? This can be a very polarizing question. Some people love them, some loathe them. Whichever side of the issue you are on, you know it's almost Spring when they pop up in the grocery store. For my PEEPS Bunny Treat Box, I purchased the four pack at my local Target. I was inspired to create this box by Susan Levasseur at WOW NOLA Creations. Thanks Susan for this adorable idea.
1)For the box,
cut a piece of HIGHLAND HEATHER at 9-1/2in by 8-1/2in. Score at 1in, 4-1/4in, 5-1/4in and 8-1/2in on
the LONG SIDE. On the SHORT SIDE, score
at 1/2in, 1-1/2in, 7in and 8in. Before
assembly, cut a window out of the lid of the box using the 2-1/8in square from the STITCHED SHAPES DIES.
2) To make
the window frame, use the same square die along with the next largest. Nest them together on a scrap piece of BASIC
WHITE card stock and run them through the CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE. Using TOMBOW liquid adhesive, adhere the window
frame to the box.
3) On
another scrap of BASIC WHITE, stamp the bunny and basket images from the SPRINGTIME
JOY stamp set using MEMENTO BLACK INK. Color
the bunny using SMOKY SLATE BLENDS and PETAL PINK for the bunny’s nose and
cheeks. For the flower crown I used DAFFODIL DELIGHT, HIGHLAND HEATHER and SOFT
SEAFOAM. For the basket, use CRUMB CAKE
BLENDS and HIGHLAND HEATHER, SOFT SEAFOAM and DAFFODIL DELIGHT BLENDS for the
eggs.
4) Using the PIERCED BLOOMS DIES, cut out the
label using BASIC WHITE card stock and small flowers using SO SAFFRON and HIGHLAND
HEATHER card stock. Then I stamped the sentiment on the label using MEMENTO
INK. Stamp the WELCOME SPRING sentiment
on a 1/2in strip of BLUSHING BRIDE card stock using the MEMENTO as well. "Fussy cut" the bunny and basket images and adhere the
pieces as shown on the picture above.
The video below shows how these two projects came together.
