Box Card Packed With Love



Foldable card for mailing. So many little elements we love to look at
fill this little box for special enjoyment. Great for many occasions.
Base c/s  10 1/2 x 5"
Score short side 2 1/2,  5,  7 1/2.,  10 and 10 1/2 "
Score long side at 2 1/2 "" 
Inside braces  ( 2 ) are cut 3 1/2 " score 1/2 " on each side of tab.
Cut out the upper 1/2 ' tab. The bottom tab is taped down to the first
2 1/2 " sq. to form the box.
Designers use different sizes for their boxes. I like this size as it stands
better than a real tall one, also gives more options of elements to fill your 
box filled with pretties.

Diamond Triangle Explosion Card


Diamond Triangle Explosion Card
Old version of diamond exploding card. Instead of the center popping
out it is adhered to base card.
Outside base 5 x 10 ".  Score at 2 1/2" and 71/2"  mark ctr.at 5".

Inner card score same and also score from the center mark at 5"
diagonally to the bottom left and right outer corners. Then score
the same from the bottom ctr. to R. and L. top outside corners.

The diamond center focal point is a 31/4" square. The triangle patches
are the 31/4" sq. cut in fourths.
Mix and match paper as you please and when you need more 
matching, just make your own. I stamped butterflies and some
foliage on peach paper to go with the Graphic 45 Primrose Cottage
.
FORGOT:  After adhering center to base card, also tape outside
edges top to bottom to base card. Tape makes a smoother seam
than glue. The patches can be glued  after the base and inner card
 have bee joined together.
 Make a band for your card any width by 12" and decorate to match
your theme.

Any questions E-mail me.

Blue Daisy Pop Out

This A-2 card was by cutting out the three pop outs by cutting individually with one die.
Card was scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4. Fold the front cover back on the first score line.
Lay your die in the middle on that 2 1/8 score line and cut three times. Place your cutting plate
only on the half of the die you want cut and it will not cut thru the other half.
/////////////////////The die is a Spellbinder label. Flowers on the inside are just punched 
and layered.after all I never make two alike. Just fantasies.

A 6 x 6 square card.


The center focal point is a smaller version of the tutorial for


fancy folded cards. ( Scroll down ). The rest is easy to look at


and follow. It will take a lot of patience with the punches and


punching all around the page but practice and learning your


punches will come easier with time.

Bird on Holly Berry


The instructions are below one post.
This bird stamp is Great Impressions
Posted by Picasa

Cardinal on Pine


This is a 5 x 6 1/2 card.
Layer your mats as desired but the center mat needs to be 4 3.4 x 3 1.4. You may
put any Cuttlebug embossment you desire on the white mats.
Bird stamp is Rubber Stampede stamped with Versamark and Gold embossing glitter.
MS punch for birds and sprigs. Small petal punch used for red flowers and a stack
of three in each set. Merry Christmas is a Penny Black stamp. Spellbinder's die cuts
used for the bauble. Use 2 sizes of your choice. Fancy Tags 2 used and cut out the
elements you want to decorate your bauble. I stamped around the outside border of
the bauble with peg stamp decor, embossed in gold. Optional but adds a little more
bling. The bird was stamped separately, embossed in the gold glitter, cut out oval to
fit in the Tag 2. Oh yes cut the Tag 2 in 1/2 diagonally.
Hope this helps have fun!!!

Display Board for Spellbinders


Found on Pinterest.
I have found a great way to display my dies. Actually made my oun before seeing this board on Pinterest.
I cut my plywood board  30" x 48", painted it white and used thin 1 1/2" white nails that I set at a angle.
I only hung up the most popular dies and didn't put them on a separate round ring as above. Taking them off the ring everytime and putting them back, to me is a pain in the neck. My board sits on the floor and can be moved with ease. See what you can create!!!  Doris
