About Me

My photo
My name is Natalie and I love anything to do with card/paper. I have been a papercrafter for many years now and I never get bored playing with all the wonderful products available. I've been married to my wonderful husband Nathan for 35years now and we are still very much in love with each other as the first day we met each other. We have 3 wonderful children and 5 gorgeous grandchildren so we have lots to be thankful for. Since joining Stampin' Up! in 2018 I've grown so much in confidence with myself and I even tackle technology, which for me is a huge step to have taken, but I'm getting there slowly.

Best dressed dsp meets Stitched labels




Good morning to you all,

 It's tuesday again and here is my tuesday make for you all, hope you like it. I'm using a stampset and dies that are about to retire at the beginning of June, so I thought I'd better make use of them while I can. I just love this set and I'm sad to see it go, but it's making room for some new stunning products, so well worth it. The good news is that the dies which are called Stitched labels are actually reduced by 25% while stocks last, so it's well worth having a look if you fancy getting them, as they will sell out fast.
The card that I'm making is being CASE'd on a card fold that a very good friend  Anne made and her blog is  ashinkyspot.blogspot.com she has made some wonderful cards and it would be great if you went and gave her a look.



Materials needed:


Petal pink card

1pc  12.5cm 29cm score @ 12.5cm base card


Best dressed 6" x6" dsp

1pc  12cm x 12cm


Whisper white card

1pc 12cm x 12cm ( for inside of card )
1pc 12.5cm x 1.8cm ( side of card front )
Scrap piece for the sentiment die cut and the circle die cut shape


Lovely lipstick card

1pc 12.5cm x 2.5cm ( side of card front stitched die used both long sides )
1pc 8.5cm x 9.5cm for the die cut shape on card front
Scrap piece for 1 medium daisy punch out


Old olive card

1pc 12.5cm x 3cm ( side of card front )
Scrap piece for 2 x leaf punch outs


Daffodil delight card

Scrap piece for 2 x medium daisy punch outs


Other materials used:

Daisy lane stampset for daffodil delight daisies
Stampin' dimensionals
Multi purpose liquid glue
Lovely lipstick stamp pad ( retiring soon )
Daffodil delight stamp pad
Stitched all around stampset for sentiments and side border ( retiring soon )
Stitched label dies ( retiring soon )
Designer elements ( retiring soon )
Lovely lipstick stampin' write marker ( soon retiring )
Stampin' dimensionals










Instructions:

On the petal pink base card fold and burnish on your score line.
Now on your side that measures 12.5cm x 12.5cm you need to measure and draw (leave these pencil marks on until you've marked your paper ), on all 4 sides 2cm in as shown in picture above. In the picture it shows you where you need to cut and where you need to score.
On the score line that you've done from corner to corner you can fold and burnish, then you need to fold back flat for the next step.
Lay your piece of dsp onto the front of your card (not glued as in the picture ), making sure you have an even border all the way round, mark on your dsp where your pencil marks are on your card, remove the dsp and now you can cut your square apperture out , I used my Stampin' Up! trimmer to do this (remember you only cut 2 sides ) and then glue into place on the front of your card. The square that you cut out of the middle of your dsp you need to cut in half corner to corner making sure you cut it the right corner to corner or your pattern will be wrong if you use directional dsp, the dsp I've used for this card I don't think it would matter.
Now you need to cut  0.5cm off each right angle side of your triangle that is going to be used so that you get a smaller triangle to glue onto your triangle on front of your card, that is now folded back on itself, dsp on top and then 3 x stampin dimensionals on the back to secure it down.
You can now assemble all of your pieces that you've cut out and stamped onto the side of your card.
Stamp your sentiment on your whisper white card and glue into the inside of your card.
When I stamped the Best wishes it was a bit too big for the die shape that I wanted to use, so I used my stampin' write marker pen to ink 1 word at a time, which enabled it to fit.
I glued the daisies onto the whisper white circle die cut shape, having stamped the daffodil delight ones with the daisy stampset, then tucked the leaves underneath, and placed my Designer element in place. I then put dimensionals on the back and stuck it to my lovely lipstick die cut piece. When sticking this to the front of your card, make sure you only place dimensionals in one corner as you don't want to stick the card shut through the apperture. Put glue onto the front of your sentiment piece and stick to the underside of the whisper white circle.
Hope you like the card and try it out yourself.

Bye for now, take care stay safe and keep crafting.
Big crafty hugs
Natalie xx
