Scrapbook.com – Ballerina & Nutcracker Card

| ullycatdesigns

Welcome to Day 7 of my Nutcracker series using a variety of stamps and die sets to make some nutcracker themed cards. My card today uses products by Scrapbook.com – Nutcracker paper collection and Nutcracker and Ballerina die set as well as and Spellbinders’ 3D embossing folder – Waffle Cone, Simon Hurley’s Better Press press plates & dies set Nutcracker Trio and Art Impressions Nutcracker stamp.

Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.

Cardbase: I turned a top-folding A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) cardbase in white on its side to make a short side-fold horizontal card. Start with an 8.5×4.25-inch rectangle and fold in half. Cover the front and back with panels of patterned paper embossed with the Spellbinders’ 3D embossing folder – Waffle Cone.

Nutcracker & Ballerina: Using Scrapbook.com’s Nutcracker and Ballerina die set, create your nutcracker and ballerina as shown on packaging or in the video above.. (There are many teenie tiny pieces, so I found it easiest to glue pieces together as I cut them so I wouldn’t loose them.)

Sentiments: The sentiments are from Simon Hurley’s Better Press press plates & dies set Nutcracker Trio printed in red BetterPress ink and cut out using the matching dies in the set.

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A2 size envelope with a nutcracker on the envelope back using Hero Art’s Nutcracker stamp stamped in red ink.

Gilded Pop-up Birthday Cards

| ullycatdesigns

Needing some birthday cards and wanting to try out some brass colored Shimmer Relief Paste from Altenew, I made these stenciled-with-paste, card fronts and embellished them with ribbon and a Karen Burniston“hello” two-piece die cut.  Inside is a Karen Burniston pop-up greeting and a Craft Roulette inspired verse.

Cardbase: I used purchased A7 (5×7-inch) cardbases that I stenciled the fronts with Shimmer Relief Paste and stencils by Honey Bee Stamps (Scattered Seeds) and Scrapbook.com (Hearts). The card backs feature a single balloon from the Big Birthday Charms die set.

Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video for the Katherine Label. Stamp the verse inside the card before adding the mechanism. (I found that gluing the bottom word onto the mechanism worked best to avoid catchpoints, including the two added balloons.)

Sentiments:  All the inside die cut sentiments used on the card come Karen Burniston designs including the Katherine Label mechanism that pops the “Happy Birthday” up with its Big Birthday Charms balloons. The stamped verse is from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope stamped with “HBD” on the back flap from Craft Roulette’s Funn Sentiments #01.
