Sweets & Treats Fun Fold

 Hello,

Sweets & Treats is one of my favourite stamp sets. It’s not only for Christmas but birthdays, Thanksgiving and so much more. The fun fold is called an angle fold. 

The card recipe: all measurements are in inches

Base: 11 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/8 and 8 1/2

DSP : 3 7/8 x 5 1/4

          2 1/4 x 5 1/4

Inside: 4 x 5 1/4

Scrap cardstock for image and die cuts  

As pictured above, the right side flap will measure 2 1/2 ". At the top of the flap, measure in 1 1/8" and make a tick mark. From that tick mark cut on an angle to the bottom of the flap. Same for the DSP. Adhere your DSP to both flaps on the front of the card.

Select your image and die cuts. Adhere to the left front flap of the card ensuring the right side can move freely to open and close. To close the card, the right flap will tuck under the die cut. 

Until next time...

Easel Card

 Easel cards are so cute. A regular card that pops up with a secret image or sentiment.

The card folds flat in order to fit into an A2 envelope. 

The center folded flap lifts up to reveal the sentiment. Be sure to pop up your sentiment strip with Dimensionals so the flap of the easel stands up.

There is space to write a personal note inside or a piece of card stock can be adhered to the back of the card.

Here are the measurements for this card:

Base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

DSP for base: 5 1/4" x 4"

Easel base: 8 1/2" x 3" scored at 4 1/4" and 2 1/8"

White card stock for inside easel: 2 3/4" x 4"

White card stock to cut a 2 1/2" circle

Sentiment strip: 1/2" x 3"

Scrap card stock for embellishments

Note: if you are colouring your image with Stampin' Blends I suggest adding another circle behind as the ink will bleed through. 

Until next time.....

Sweets and Treats

 Do you have the Christmas spirit yet? Are you thinking of festive decorations or the sweet aroma of baking? With all the Christmas cards I've made so far it sure has me in a Christmassy mood. 

Today's card features the Sweets and Treats stamp set. I love these delightful treat images. They should be their own food group! 

I also made a pull card. You can find the tutorial on Lisa Curcio's blog Here.

Just pull on the ribbon and the message is revealed on a sliding card stock.

Just a note....don't stamp your sentiment in the middle of your card. As you can see here, the ribbon covers the sentiment. Stamp towards the top of your card. Also, it helps if the ribbon is not too thick. Here I used a grosgrain ribbon but I think a thinner satin ribbon would have worked better. Live and learn.

Only 66 days until Christmas 😲. I'd better get shopping!

Until next time....

Sweet Treats

 How cute are these treats? And no calories!

These yummy desserts are from the Sweets and Treats stamp set.

I fussy cut them out and adhered them to a circle embossed with the Painted Texture folder.

 I used a neutral background, from the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper  from the Sale- a -Bration catalogue,  in order to showcase the delectable delights. 

Remember the Sale-a-Bration catalogue runs to the end of September so get your orders in!

Until next time.
