Couch Potato

Well….   I wish I could be a couch potato sometimes….  it just doesn’t happen very often.     Here is another card I made using the same technique I shared yesterday.   This one really didn’t turn out very good.  Not what I envisioned anyway.. But…. I’ll share it with you anyway.   Things don’t always turn out  as expected so we just keep on trying…. but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Products used:  PTI – On My Couch.  CTMH – Juniper, Vanilla Cream, Garden Green.  X5809 – Veranda.  Brad. Border punch. Tag punch. Scorepal.

Enjoy! Create! Simplify!

What I learned

I learned how to make this scored easel card last weekend at a SU party.   Cute huh?

I decided to make a few more of them yesterday.

First you cut a  12 x 4 piece of cardstock.   Score at 4 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches.   Fold the score lines so you have a mountain, valley and mountain…   Or  the shape of an ‘M’…  

Decorate the top flap.  and stand it up..   Decorate a small strip on the inside bottom flap.

Add a little button,  or a brad to the bottom inside flap.  That will help hold the card up.

Products Uses:   PTI – Petal Power background.  Blooming Button Bits.  CTMH – Sweet Leaf, Cranberry red, Vanilla cream.  Round punches. Buttons. My Minds Eye paper. Pearl brad. Twinkling H20’s.

Enjoy

I made this card using CTMH black and Daisy White cardstock. I used CTMH D1182 - It's a Party and D1283 - Say it in Style. (I'm giving one of these away- see blog candy 6/14). I used my score pal to emboss the bottom and right side, then sanded a little to make it stand out. I embellished with Black bitty brads Z1051 and white bigger brads from the Basic Collection Z299. The ribbon is from the black collection Z1034. I used Daisy white and black ink.

Gatefold Tutorial

I created this gate fold card using my ScorPal.

Using CTMH Cranberry Red CS, cut base of card 4.25 x 10 inches.

Score at 2.5 inches and 7.5 inches.

Using polka dot paper from CTMH 7064B Giggles and Grins cut two pieces 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches and adhere to each side of card base.

Using Black CS ,cut band for the card 1 x 10 inches.

Score at 3 inches and 7 1/4 inches.

Using Striped paper from Giggles and Grins cut band 1/2 x 10 inches.

Adhere to the Black strip. Make the the band fits around the outside of the card and adhere edges together.

Cut Black Scallop using Purple Marvy punch and A white circle using Pink Marvy punch.

I stamped a butterfly from CTMH set B1307 Whimsical Wings. I used Sunny yellow to color in the stars and some yellow stickles. I used a large silver eyelet and attached some sunny yellow ribbon and a bitty brad Z1051. Peirce each scallop around outside edge. Adhere stamped piece to the black piece. Adhere to the band.

Cut inside white piece 4 x 4 3/4 and adhere to inside. I stamped a sentiment from Lizzie Anne's Sketched Sentiments.

This is a nice quick card to make.
