I'm So Happy For You

I seem to like cards that lend themselves to the more feminine side so I wanted to try and make a card that was a little more masculine.  This can be a congratulations for a promotion, a job well done, getting a scholarship, getting. job. . . and of course the crd fun fold could be used for any occasion.

I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU

Cased Juli Baca

 HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

1. Fold your card base at both score lines (base: 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” scored at 2 1/8” & 4 1/4”)
2. Take the two (2” x 2” scored at 1”) squares of pecan cardstock fold them on the score line and adhere these to the card front; one on each side of the 2 1/8” score line with the folds of the squares facing each other.  Adhere these wherever you will want to position your greeting.  (I opted to center mine.) Allow to dry.
3. Stamp sentiment on the (2 1/8” x 3 1/4”) piece of Vanilla Cardstock. Adhere this to the (2 1/4” x 3 1/2”) piece of Pecan cardstock. Set it aside.
4. Adhere the two (1 7/8” x 5 1/4”) pieces of DSP to the front sections of the card base.
5. On your other (2 3/4” x 5 1/4”) piece of vanilla cardstock, stamp your inside sentiment (vertical) and adhere to the inside of your card closest to the fold.
6. Take your (1 1/4” x 5 1/4”) piece of DSP and adhere it just to the right of the inside sentiment using dimensional because this will hold your card open when it is standing.
7. Die cut some branches in different colors and adhere these to the back of the sentiment piece from step 3.
8. Adhere this to the small flaps on the front of your card..
9. Add a couple of gem embellishments.
10. Adhere the last piece of DSP to your envelope flap to coordinate.

 SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

1. Stamp the inside sentiment on one of the (4” x 5 1/4”) pieces of white cardstock.
2. Ink the top half of the image stamp in Garden Green then ink the lower half with the blueberry. Use the blending brush to lighten up the blue.
3. Stamp image on the other (4” x 5 1/4”) piece of white cardstock. Then lightly stamp the image over the sentiment without re-inking.  (This idea I got from Frenchie Stamps)
4. Stamp a sentiment on the front piece of the card.
5. Adhere the sentiment to the inside.
6. Wrap the ribbon around the bottom of the card front adhering in the back with a mini glue dot on each end of the ribbon.
7. Tie the smaller piece of ribbon in a knot around the attached ribbon. Once you have it placed where you want it, place a mini glue dot behind it to adhere it to the card front so it won’t move or come untied.
8. Attach this to the (4 1/8” x 5 3/8”) piece of green cardstock then attach this to the card front.
9. (Optional): Stamp the back of your envelope to match your card.

Jungle Birthday Card

These guys were so stinkin' cute I had to earn them with my free Sale-A-Bration earnings.  You too can earn both the stamps and the dies with your $150 order. That is the only way to get these. The offer ends this month.The card is a little time consuming/tedious because there are so many pieces to adhere but so worth it when it is done!

JUNGLE BIRTHDAY CARD

Cased Lisa Ann Bernard

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

1. Take the (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) piece of Granny Green cardstock and lay it on the front of your card base (4 1/4” x 11” scored at 5 1/2”) and runtime two through the emboss machine with the Perennial Postage die. Make sure both pieces of cardstock are lined up evenly and that he die is centered.  Run it through 2-3 times to make sure it cuts through both. Set aside 
2. Run al your other leaf and grass dies through with different shades of green to create your “jungle”. Set aside.
3. Stamp your crocodile, sloth, and lemur using either black or Pebbled Path ink on the corresponding colors of cardstock then run through the die machine.
4. Now you are pretty much ready to start assembling.
5. Score the front of your card base, on each side at 2 3/4” (folding half is what you are doing.
6. Adhere the window/acetate, using your mini glue dots, to the back side of the loose window frame. At this point you have two choices.  You can adhere this to your card base and then create your jungle scene OR, create your scene and then adhere this to your card front.   Just make sure you have it oriented correctly or your design from postage die will not line up correctly with the one on the card base.
7. To adhere the window to the card base, I recommend using Tear & Tape because it is stronger.  Anyhow, put the adhesive on the lower portion  Across the bottom and up on both sides up to the score line. BUT!! Be very careful when laying the cover down because there really isn’t any wiggle room for a mistake with this adhesive.
8. The difficult part is done.  Now punch an oval and stamp your sentiment on it.
9. Adhere your white (3 3/4” x 5”) cardstock to the 4” x 5 1/4”) Spruce cardstock and then adhere this into the inside of your card.
10. Adhere some grass if you would like to Along the bottom
11. Adhere the sentiment to the inside using dimensionals placing it in the middle so that you can see it through the window.  **The reason for the dimensionals is so that when you fold open the card it has something to hold up the window front.  
12. Optional: Now Stamp on your envelope so it coordinates.
13. PHEW!  That’s done.
