(New Post) Greeting Card Gift Set

 Greeting Card Gift Set

I love making cards sets and a matching bag or box to hold them.

I made a set of cards on this Blog Post here. As promised here is the matching bag to hold them!

Directions: 

You start with a 8 1/4" x 12" piece of the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. I used this DSP for all the cards. 

On the 12" side, score at 4 1/2", 5 3/4", 10 1/4" and 11 1/2".

Turn and score on the 8 1/4" side at 1 1/4" and 7 1/4.

Burnish on all the score lines.

The bottom of the bag is the 1 1/4" score line. 

Cut up to the first score line (1 1/4") as shown in the photo. 

Remove both small corners on the 11 1/2" score line. 

Fold over the top 1" score line for the bag top.  

Add adhesive to the 11 1/2" score line and fold over to adhere the bag together.

Fold in bottom flaps and add some glue to the last flap.

 

Use a small hole punch to punch some holes into the sides of the bag to add a ribbon handle. 

To decorate the bag I used the Something Fancy Dies to cut a Basic White Card Stock label. I stamped the words from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set using Petal Pink Ink stamped off one time for a softer look.

I added some Crinkle White Ribbon under the tag then attached it to the bag using Dimensionals.

I die cut a Basic Black C/S floral piece and a butterfly using the Meadow Dies. I attached them over the label.

I used some Glittered Organdy Ribbon for the handle.

This bag could easily fit 5 cards and envelopes. 

Such a great gift idea!

The Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper is one of the FREE offerings from our Sale-A-Bration 2023 promotion!

Quiet Meadow Silhouette Cards

 Quiet Meadow Silhouette Cards

I have seen so many gorgeous cards made using this layout and I just had to make some as well!

This is such a simple layout. I simply used Balmy Blue Card Stock as my card base. Either landscape or portrait orientation. 

Then I cut another piece of Balmy Blue C/S measuring 5 1/4" x 4". I embossed it using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder and attached it to the card base.

I die cut some Basic Black C/S scalloped circles using the Layering Circles Dies. Then I die cut circles using the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper and attached them to the Basic Black C/S scalloped circles. Attach them to the card using Dimensionals. 

Die cut some floral sprigs from the Quiet Meadow Dies using Basic Black C/S and on one card I also used a Balmy Blue C/S floral sprig. Attach them to the circles.

For the sentiments, on one card I stamped directly onto the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper using Memento Black Ink and on the other card I added a separate sentiment strip. I used the Quiet Meadow Stamp for the sentiments. 

Add some Rhinestones if you would like and that's it! Simple right? The best part is you can earn the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper for free during our 2022 Sale-A-Bration promotion! For every $60.00 spent before taxes and shipping you can pick a FREE item from the SAB Catalogue.

Flowers And Leaves Punch Card

 Flowers And Leaves Punch Card

I love Stampin' Up! punches! You can make quick and easy cards in minutes!!

Todays card uses the Flowers And Leaves Punch and is another sample of the alcohol blending technique. 

See my other alcohol blending technique cards here:

Artistically Inked Card

Thinking Of You

Alcohol Blending

For todays card I started with a Calypso Coral card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4".

I added a Basic Black C/S layer measuring 4" x 5 1/4".

Cut a piece of Vellum Card Stock to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". Also cut a piece of Basic White C/S of the same size, this will go behind the Vellum to amplify the colours of the alcohol inks on the Vellum.

I used 3 different Stampin' Blends to create this card: Dark Calypso Coral, Dark Pale Papaya and Dark Daffodil Delight. 

See this post here for instructions:

Alcohol Blending Technique Instructions

I did the alcohol blending all over the Vellum C/S. After I was happy with the blending and the colours, I splattered some alcohol onto the Vellum. It makes little circle blotches. I also splattered some Wink Of Stella over the Vellum. When this layer is dry, use Stampin' Seal to attach the Vellum to the same sized Basic White C/S layer. I find that the Stampin' Seal doesn't show through the Vellum. Attach this layer to the card front.

Using Basic Black C/S punch out 3 flowers, 1 large and 2 small from the Flowers And Leaves Punch. I crumpled up the flowers then flattened them out again. Using Dimensionals, attach the flowers together. I also punched out a small circle of Daffodil Delight C/S and added it to the flower center. I used Wink Of Stella on the flower center. Attach the flower to the card front with a few Glue Dots.

Punch out 2 leaves using the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper and the Flowers And Leaves Punch. Tuck and glue under the flower.

Stamp a sentiment in Memento Black Ink using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. Angle cut both ends. Attach the sentiment  to the card front using Dimensionals. 

I hope you like todays card! leave me a comment, I love to hear from you.

My helper was being lazy today!! Lola is our 10 year young  English Bull Terrier. She loves to eat card stock and Designer Series Paper! 😕
