| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #343 whose parameters were include a tag for project, library colors, new for element and pencil(s) for random. I used some new stamps, dies and embossing folder from The Greetery along with some winter greenery dies from Karen Burniston.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: For the inside of your basket tag card, fold a 6×6-inch piece of cardstock and place the large basket die from The Greetery’s Brimming Baskets die set with the bottom edge just over the fold as shown in the video above. Cut and emboss two of the large basket bases from a medium to heavy tan cardstock using the Brimming Baskets embossing folder and die set. Cut and emboss one large basket handle. Glue handle to back of one basket and then glue floral stems to back of the handle basket. Adhere the two baskets to the folded card base. (You may need to trim the base off the basket on the back for the card to open.)

Pine Cones & Greenery: Cut three of the small pine cone bases and tops using Karen Burniston’s Pine Cone die set. Follow the assembly and decoration video below.  Cut three green fir branches and three gray branches using the same die set. Color a piece of white cardstock with red colored pencils and cut two sets of round berries. Glue berries to gray branches.

Sentiments: Stamp and die cut tags from The Greetery’s Teeny Tags Holiday stamp set and Teeny Tags die set. (I used the smallest tags for “Merry Christmas” and “A Gift For You” stamped in red ink and tied with red embroidery floss.)

Cardbase: Cut an 8.5×11-inch sheet of white cardstock in half. Emboss one piece with The Greetery’s Capsule Basics 3D embossing folder. Trim to 5×7-inches. Using the largest scalloped edged die in the Capsule Basics die set with the Capsule Fixed Borders Large die inside it, cut out a scalloped border, a frame and a center oval from the other half of the white cardstock. Cut two pieces of acetate – one 1×4-inches and one 2×3-inches. Follow the assembly steps shown in the video above.

Paint the center piece with shimmer watercolors. Assemble as shown in the video above.

Sentiments: “Joy” was handwritten on the embossed banner on the oval center piece with an ultra fine-tip permanent marker. The inside sentiment and envelope flap sentiments come from PoppyStamps Peaceful Christmas Greetings stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with its back flap stamped in black ink with “Sending Warm Winter Wishes” from PoppyStamps Peaceful Christmas Greetings stamp set.

Winter Embossed Notecard

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #337 whose parameters were include an A2 or ISO A6 project, pool party colors, cold or chilly as element and check(s) as random. I used The Greetery’s Shortbread Shapes: Snowflake embossing folder and Checks Out stencil to make this card.

Watch the video below to learn how I made this card.

Cardbase: I used a purchased 4.25×5.5-inch cardbase and matching envelope.

Front: A 5.5×8.5-inch panel of 80lb white cardstock was stenciled using the smaller of the two stencils in The Greetery’s Checks Out stencil set with a blue marker and shimmer brush marker. I spritzed the back of the panel with water before placing it into The Greetery’s Shortbread Shapes: Snowflake embossing folder. I ran the embossing folder through my die cutting machine to emboss the panel. Once the panel had dried and stiffened some, I trimmed the panel to the edges of the stenciled border (4×5.25-inches). Using 1mm thick foam tape, I adhered the panel to the card base. Then I decorated with a glitter gloss brush marker, sequins and two pieces of ribbon.

Sentiments: “Winter Blessings” is one of 16 sentiment banners in Spellbinders Mistletoe Greetings press plate & die set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) size envelope with “Sending Warm Winter Wishes” from PoppyStamps Peaceful Christmas Greetings stamped in gray ink on the back flap.

Quilted Square Interactive Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #318 whose parameters were: Ardyth’s Square (4.25-inch square) card, May garden colors, textile element and three layer random. I used Relatively Thoughtful digital papers as well as dies and stamps from Concord & 9th, Essentials by Ellen, Scrapbook.com, The Greetery & Waffle Flower.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I took an 8.5×8.5-inch square of lightweight cardstock and scored and folded at 4.25-inchs on each side and along one of the diagonal corner to corner. (See the video above for directions.) Decorate front and back with quilt blocks and the sides cover with 4.25-inch squares of colored paper cut in half diagonally.

Quilt Blocks: Using the Scrapbook.com Mini Quilt Block die set, cut six of all the die pieces from solid color decorative paper and another six sets from patterned paper. (I printed all my digital papers on thin computer paper.) Use a fine-tipped black marker to add stitching lines.

Sewing Notions: Using The Greetery’s Notionable die set, cut one pair scissors from silver foil cardstock. (I cut a second set from white as my silver cardstock was thin and tended to curl.) Cut the thimble, needle and seven pins also from silver cardstock. From white cut the three pieces for the spool of thread and color using a light brown for the spool and light gray for the thread. Leave the thread label white, but highlight the writing with a fine-tipped black marker. Cut the curling piece of thread from white and color light gray. (I used scraps of solid colored cardstock for the pincushion and pin heads.) The card of pins uses an image printed on cardstock from the Relatively Thoughtful Walter Crane In The Garden A4 digital paper collection.

Sentiments: The outside stamped sentiments of “You’re sew sweet” and “Made with love” are from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool. The inside sentiments come from Concord & 9th’s Sew Lovely stamp and die sets as well as Waffle Flower’s Quilted Hug stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with “What’s sewing on?” stamped on the back flap. Stamp is from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool.

A sweet, heart-felt birthday card made with The Greetery’s Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Hearts 3D embossing folder and Poppystamps Modest Banner Greetings foil and cut die set.

Cardbase: I folded an 4.25×11 sheet of pink 100lb. cardstock in half to create a top-fold 4.25×5.5-inch card. The green mat is a marbled cardstock cut 4×4.875-inches. The embossed piece was trimmed down to 3.75x 4.25-inches and colored with markers and a gel pen. A pink ribbon is under the white hearts that were leftover from another card. (I don’t know what the die was, but it cut hearts in two sizes.)

Sentiments: The “Happy Birthday to You” is a foiled sentiment That I had batch-produced some time back using the Poppystamps Modest Banner Greetings foil and cut die set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope decorated with some of the colored hearts.

Honey Bee Stamps – Nutcracker card

| ullycatdesigns

Welcome to Day 8 of my Nutcracker series using a variety of stamps and die sets to make some nutcracker themed cards. My card today uses products by Honey Bee Stamps – Nutcracker die set as well as The Greetery’s 3D embossing folder – Shortbread Shapes Snowflake, Spellbinders’ Happy Holidays die set and Art Impressions Nutcracker stamp.

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

Cardbase: (I used a purchased A7 (5×7-inches) cardbase and matching envelope in white for this card.) Emboss a 6×8-inch piece of lightweight white cardstock using The Greetery’s Shortbread Shapes Snowflake 3D embossing folder, misting the folder before inserting the cardstock to emboss, following the sandwich instructions for your die-cutting machine. Once embossed, let the piece dry under the weight of the embossing fold with a large stamping block on top. Next, trim the embossed piece down to its embossed edges. Placing the trimmed edge at the folded edge of the cardbase, glue the embossed piece to the card front. Trim off excess of the embossed panel.

Nutcracker: Using Honey Bee Stamps’ Nutcracker die set, create your nutcracker as shown on the packaging or in the video above.. (There are many tiny pieces, so I found it easiest to glue pieces together as I cut them so I wouldn’t loose them.) (One of my favorite places to purchase Honey Bee stamps is ScrapbookPal.com for their discounts and sales.)

Sentiments: The inside sentiment of “Happy Holidays” was die cut from red cardstock using the Spellbinders’ die set of the same name.

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A7 size envelope with a nutcracker on the envelope back using Hero Art’s Nutcracker stamp stamped in black ink.

Tipsy Teacups Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #284 whose parameters included a Funn fold card, birthday party colors, Maggie Smith element, and spiral (s) (ing). Today’s card uses The Greetery dies and stamps.

Watch the video below to see how this card was made.

Cardbase:  I started with a 4.25×11-inch rectangle of 100lb white cardstock that was scored and folded at 5.5-inches and 9-inches to form an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) easel card.

Tipsy Teacups:  Watch the video above to see how the cups were created with stencils using pink ink and a gold marker. The tipsy mechanism is a strip with tracks cut into it for penny slider mechanism. I used Pear Blossom Press’s new Snap N’ Slide penny slider plastic pieces which are like snaps that you can use a glue dot to adhere to the back of the teacups.

Sentiments:  “Sip, Sip HOORAY! It’s your birthday” and Hopping your day is steeped in happiness” are both in the Brew-Tea-Ful Day stamp set. They are stamped onto striped, textured, thin cardstock cut with the larges and smallest of the A2 Stitched Scallops die set.
