Just Because

This card is sooo incredibly easy to make and so flexible.  Use any Designer Paper that you like both sides, pick a coordinating color cardstock for the base,  a single line sentiment, and that's pretty much it.  I opted to add the coordinating ribbon but not a necessary touch. Have fun with it. 

JUST BECAUSE

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

1. Fold and burnish your card base (4 1/4” x 11” scored at 5 1/2”)
2. Take your (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) piece of DSP Fold forward at an angle; trim excess on right.
3. Temporarily position it on your card front and use a pencil to draw the diagonal line so you know where to stamp your sentiment.
4. Stamp the sentiment just above the line. (Once the ink is dry, erase the pencil line.)
5. Now adhere the DSP to your card front 
6. Take your ribbon wrapping it around the flap and tying a knot or bow on the front.  (I used tear and tape to adhere the ribbon to the underside.)
7. Place a couple of Dimensionals® on the underside of the flap to adhere it down.
8. Adhere the thin strip of DSP to the inside of your card along the bottom,
9. Embellish the front with a couple of gems.  
10. Adhere the additional strip of DSP to the flap of your envelope to have it coordinate.

Halloween Fright Night

                                 You can't tell by the photo but the image on the front lifts and reveals the word EEK! and there is a spider crawling in.  Then for the inside, I used wobblers (not a SU product.  I purchased them on Amazon) so that when the card is opened, the word BOO! jiggles and I attached a spider to it as well.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

HALLOWEEN FRIGHT NIGHT

                    

  HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE: Stamp sentiment on (3 3/4” x 5”) piece of white cardstock.  Adhere it to one of the (4” x 5 1/4”) pieces of black cardstock then adhere to the inside of the card. Set it aside.

1. On the other piece of black cardstock stamp some lightning rods in craft white.  Set aside.
2. (Optional) While you have that stamp out, stamp the strip (2 1/4” 5 3/4”) of black cardstock with lightning and sentiment. Adhere this to the flap of your envelope and trim around..
3. On the larger piece of white cardstock, you will be stamping the two sentiments, die cutting them out along with the spider web. Using the dauber, destress the edges.
4. Die cut out 2 spiders out of glitter paper.  Set aside.
5. Die cut the Petunia Pop frame. From the inside piece, die cut out the words “EEK” and “BOO”.
6. Use the circle punch to punch out a circle out of Crushed Curry then using the dauber, ink it using black ink.
7. Run the petunia ribbon through the to of the large sentiment and loop around the top of the frame. Adhere the frame down to the black card front with Liquid glue.  Use a glue dot to adhere the ribbon. Allow the sentiment to move freely.
8. Adhere the moon and the spider web down.
9. Adhere the word “EEK” under the big white sentiment.
10. Use a mini (black) dimensional® to adhere one of the spiders.
11. Use  dimensionals® to adhere the Happy Halloween sentiment.
12. Use dimensionals® to adhere this panel to the front of your card.
13. To finish off the inside, adhere the word “BOO” using the wobbler and add a spider.  Be careful because some of the adhesive will show through so tap on it with a scrap to get some of the stickiness off. otherwise it will stick your card closed.
