NOTE PAD COVER & MATCHING PEN

Cased Mail Something Pretty

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Score your piece of cardstock at 5 3/8” and 5 5/8”. Fold and Burnish. Set aside.
Paying attention to the direction of the print on your DSP, make a slight diagonal cut across starting from the upper right side at @ 1” - 2” to the left @ 3” - 4”. (This has already been done for you.)
Select a piece of coordinating cardstock (or DSP”) and cut 2( 1/4”) strips and adhere them to the piece of DSP where you you just cut. Trim off the excess.
Adhere these to the scored piece of cardstock leaving strip between the two pieces to stamp your sentiment. (If you would prefer, set the DSP down and draw the lines in pencil so you know where to stamp before adhering,
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark and emboss with white embossing powder and the heat tool.
Out of the scraps of cardstock, die cut some flowers & leaves (or whatever you choose)Adhere these to the front of your notepad cover.
For the inside, take the 5” x 2” piece of DSP (Use whatever side you want) to cover the notepad banner adhering to the front and folding it over and adhering on the back as well.
Using Tear and Tape adhere the notepad into the inside of your cardstock.
For the pen, roll the smallest piece of DSP as if you are rolling up a joint (for lack of a better example).
Unscrew the back end of the pen and remove the pen. Slide the rolled DSP into the pen casing; making sure to slide it all the way in.
Return the pen and screw the back end back on and now you have a pen that coordinates with your notepad. :0)

Bubble Background Birthday

This card was lots of fun to do. You can play with whatever color combination you like. I made a second one but instead of using the Blueberry Bushel cardstock for the Happy Birthday, I used the Pumpkin Pie that I cut out from the piece of cardstock that mats the white since no one will see that you cut it our from there.

BUBBLE BACKGROUND HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Cased Juli Baca

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Start with the lightest color (lemon lime twist) and the blending brush using circular motions to create 4-5 circles on the white cardstock. Allow some circles to “fall off” the page and make them different sizes
Repeat and make a few more circles with the next color (Pumpkin Pie).
Fill in some more circles with the third color (Blueberry), leaving a little bit of white spaces,
Using the final color (Balmy Blue), go over the paper to fill in the white spaces. Set it aside and allow it to dry before moving on to the next step of the process.
Optional: Repeat steps 1-4 on the envelope flap
Die cut out the letters for the sentiment and adhere them together. Adhesive sheets have been added to the blueberry cardstock to make adhering it easier. (If you would ike the top layer of lettering to be in Pumpkin, suing the sheep of pumpkin cardstock making sure not to cut by the edges. No one will see that you cut out of this once the card is assembled.
Stamp the inside sentiment.
Using the dauber, and the white craft intake the template with the different size circles, iink a few circles in white onto of the paper from step 4.
Adhere this to the pumpkin cardstock and then adhere this to the card front. Finally, add the sentiment die cut using Dimensionals® and ad a few gems to embellish.
