Party Puffins W Fold Card

I have the best card for you today!  I am so excited to share it with you!  It's a W Fold card using the Party Puffins.

Party Puffins  W Fold by Jo Anne Hewins

Party Puffins W Fold Open by Jo Anne Hewins

I made this card on my Facebook Live this past Wednesday and I'm so happy to share this post with you to make everything crystal clear.

My base is Basic Black measuring 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2.  You also need a strip that is 1 3/4 x 11, score at 2 3/4, 5 1/2, and 8 1/4.  You also need 4 rectangles that are 2 1/4 x 2 3/4.

My designer paper is called Beautifully Penned.  It's a 12 x 12 free offering from Sale-a-Bration that will be free beginning August 3rd with a $50 purchase.  The pack is black and white and there are 4 each of 3 double-sided designs.  For this paper you will need 3 pieces of 4 x 5 1/4.  Make sure that you cut the wave going in the correct direction.  I did reserve the two pieces cut from the same piece for the inside so that the lines match across the card.  You'll also need 4 pieces of the DSP that measure 2 1/8 x 2 5/8.  Waves will be horizontal.

For the designer paper, use a Blending Brush and Pool Party ink to color every piece.

For coloring the images, I used the Dark Pale Papaya, Dark Pumpkin Pie, Light Smoky Slate, and Dark Daffodil Delight.

I did a little research on puffins and found that they live in northern North America.  They spend most of their time in the ocean.  When on land they like the rocky cliffs or areas on shore.  I used the Majestic Mountain dies to help me with this.  I used the mountain die to cut 4 in Basic Gray and one in Smoky Slate.  Also cut 2 of the detailed trees from Mossy Meadow and one from Pear Pizzazz.  I did put some of the Adhesive Sheets on back of the card stock for the trees.

On the video I explain how I built up the scene with the rocky cliffs and the sea below.

Stamp the puffins and cake using the Stamparatus using Memento Black ink.  That way you can stamp again until the black areas are covered well.  I did share the way that I lined up the stamps needed for this card on the Stamparatus.  You'll need two of some of the images.   The birds and the cake will need to be cut out using your snips.  Add with dimensionals.

The video will show you how to add the strip to the inside of the card.  Here is a picture of the panels.  Everything is glued.  We want to keep the card as flat as possible.

CASE the Catalog page 157 Summer Shadows Dies

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  This week we continue to CASE the catalog.  We are using the picture on page 157 of the Annual Catalog.

CCMC675

So for my card today, I'm using a few of the colors and a few of the lay out details for my card.  Let's just say the sample was a great inspiration for me.  Here is my card.

CCMC #675 Shaded Summer by Jo Anne Hewins

It all begins with a base of Petal Pink 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.

Emboss the vellum (4 1/8 x 5 3/8) with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder.  Attach to the front of the card with Seal in the lower right corner where the layer will be added later.  You might also reinforce with glue dots in places where there is more embossing.

The added layer is also Petal Pink.  It measures 2 3/4 x 5.  Emboss this layer with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.  Add with glue.

Use the Summer Shadows Dies to cut a basic and a detailed flower from Flirty Flamingo  card stock.  These dies are available for free with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration August 3rd through September 30th or while supplies last.  They coordinate with the Shaded Summer stamp set from the Annual catalog.  Crush both of the flowers into your hand into a little ball.  Pull back out and adhere the two in the center.  These cut outs will align perfectly, but I glued mine just a little off.  Cut a basic and a detailed leaf stem in Soft Succulent and adhere the two.  Add the leaves and flower with dimensionals.

Stamp the saying from Shaded Summer in Versamark on Flirty Flamingo card stock.  Emboss in white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders with your Heat Tool.  Trim.  Add with dimensionals.

CCMC #675 Shaded Summer Inside by Jo Anne Hewins

Here's the inside of the card.  Stamp the saying from Shaded Summer.  The image is stamped in Memento Black.  Color with the Flirty Flamingo Combo Blends and the Soft Succulent Combo Blends.

Encircled in Friendship Bundle Fun Fold

Today we'll be using the Encircled in Friendship stamp set and the Encircled in Beauty Dies.  This is a great bundle.  

Encircled in Friendship Fun Fold by Jo Anne Hewins

Begin with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Take the larger flower stamp and stamp along the sides of the base.  Use a Blending Brush to add some color along the sides.

Cut a piece of Thick Basic White that measures 2 1/2 x 11.  Score at 5 1/2.  Use the front through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Dots Embossing Folder.  This is a thinner embossing folder paired with the Checks folder.

Adhere this thin card to the center of the base with glue.  I use the Grid Paper to help me get this in the center and straight.

Cut the doily in Basic White using the Encircled in Beauty dies.  Stamp the saying and the single flower in Memento Ink.  Color using the Flirty Flamingo Combo Blends and the Soft Succulent Combo Blends.  Add the doily with dimensionals.  Color Basic Pearls with a Dark Flirty Flamingo blend.

Encircled in Friendship Fun Fold Inside by Jo Anne Hewins

Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks Book Fold

Hello!  I have a little fun fold for you today using the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks.

Book Fun Fold with Mask by Jo Anne Hewins

I love the book fold because it gives you a square area for your work.   The card base is Highland Heather cut to 4 1/2 x 11.  Score at 5 1/2 and 6 3/4.  The small area to the front of the card is glued down leaving the square area for the rest of the card.  Add a piece of Hand-Penned DSP on the side that measures 1 1/8 x 4 1/8.  Tie some of the White Crinkled Seam Binding around and tie into a knot.

For the card front add a piece Basic White that is 4 1/8 x 4 1/8.

For the focal point you'll need a frame of Highland Heather that is 3 1/8 x 3 1/8.  You'll also need another piece of Basic White that is 3 x 3.

To add the design to the white card stock, you'll need a Highland Heather pad with Blending Brush, a Daffodil Delight pad with Blending Brush, and a Pool Party pad with Blending Brush.  Choose the design from the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks.  There are 4 patterns on the sheet.  The square white paper will fit perfectly under the pattern.  You might use sticky notes to hold everything in place on your grid paper.

Begin with the lightest color and add to several spaces.  Then add the next color covering a few more spaces.  Finish with the last color and color in the rest of the design.  There will be some blending of colors for a beautiful design.

Mount these layers on dimensionals.

Book Fun Fold with Mask Close Up by Jo Anne Hewins

The saying is from the Pansy Patch stamp set.  Stamp in Highland Heather.  Cut out using the Tasteful Labels dies.  Cut close to the saying at one end.  Reposition the die so that you can cut the other end making a shorter label.  Cut the label again in Highland Heather.  Cut label in half and position as that there is a little heather sticking out on each end.

Embellish with some of the Elegant Faceted Gems.

Book Fun Fold with Mask Inside of Card by Jo Anne Hewins

For the inside of the card, the saying is again from Pansy Patch.  Add the design in the corner.  Be sure to use sticky notes around the design on the inside of the card.  You'll get ink outside the design otherwise.

Shaded Summer Facebook Live 7.21.2021 White emboss Resist by Jo Anne Hewins

For this card the base is Smoky Slate.  Stamp around the outside with the largest flower stamp in Versamark.  The patterned paper is from the Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper available in the August-December Mini catalog.   It's cut to 3 x 4.  That's a great size to make 12 cards from one sheet of 12 x 12.

Use Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana, and Highland Heather for the flowers stems.  Stamp in Versamark and emboss with white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders collection.  Use a Blending Brush to add more color toward the center of each stem.  Wipe away any extra color on the embossed part.  Cut out with the dies and glue to the card front.

Add twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack.  The saying is embossed in white and added with dimensionals.  

Finish with Metallic Pearls.

Stamp the large stamp in Merry Merlot and cut out with the dies.  Add with dimensionals.

Cut some of the flowers and leaves in Gold Foil.  Place around the merlot stem.

Finish with Metallic Pearls.

Shaded Summer Facebook Live 7.21.2021 SAB dies by Jo Anne Hewins

The base is Mint Macaron cut to 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2.  Use the Pretty Flowers EF on the front of the card.  The patterned paper is from the Hand-Penned DSP.  It's cut to 3 x 4.

Cut flowers using Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral.  Cut the leaves from Mint Macaron and add as you please.

The saying is stamped in Calypso Coral and cut out with the Potted Succulents dies.  Add with dimensionals.
