Happy Anniversary

 

There are 5 layers to this card:  the white card base, then the white piece stamped Happy Anniversary which should NOT match up with the card base, followed by the pink mat (which is the same shape as the card base), then the white mat, and finally the floral piece.

And the inside sentiment:

Frilly black and white get well card

 All the cards today are fairly straightforward.  This one should only take a few minutes to put together.  Start with the plain white rectangular piece of cardstock.  This is the piece you are going to build on.  Take the plain black rectangle and attach it to the white piece at the top.  Next, take a scalloped piece that is primarily black (with white flowers) and line it up at the bottom of the front.  Then attach the scalloped piece that is white with black flowers.  Alternate strips until you reach the solid black cardstock.   Now, wrap the black ribbon around around the whole piece you’ve put together and tie on knot on the front of the card.

If you have pop up tape, attach the sentiment in the top portion of the card, alternating white circle, then black circle, then white circle containing the sentiment.

Attach the completed card front onto the card base using pop up tape (if you have it).  

Attach the inside sentiment, mounted on black card stock to the inside of the card.

And you are finished!

A tri-fold card

 

It’s a little hard to see but I put M V M V (mountain, valley, mountain, valley) in red at the bottom of the card.  This indicates the way you will fold this card.  It’s basically an accordion fold.

And the backside:

As always, if I’ve managed to confuse you, text or call me.

Nutcracker suite … so sweet

 ;

Just follow along with the pictures and you’ll do fine.

Note the sequence in which you put your insert.  After gluing in the first insert, fold the card back and forth.  Follow the same procedure on the other inserts.

Brace yourselves for this card!

 

It’s really not as hard as it looks, as long as you follow along with the sequence of pictures I’ve posted here.

We’ll put different segments together first.

2 pieces

2 pieces

Three pieces (in the wrong sequence!)

I sponged her fur but decided it doesn’t look good.

Three pieces (again out of sequence!)

Add the two large groups together and then add the earrings, her hat, and her hair.

Add the feather in her hat.

Fold the bow using these 2 pieces:

Put the tail of the bow on first, then put the bow on.

Give her lips and burgundy ovals on the top of her earrings.

Now you should be left with 3 pieces:

Build these by putting the black piece first, the gold piece on top of it and the burgundy circle on top.  These go on the bottom of the inside of the card so they are visible when the card is closed.

Fit your image on the shaped card and it should look like this:

I ended up making a ‘handicapped’ CIB

 I don’t know what I was thinking when I designed this card.  It doesn’t have any “arms”.  I still like the way it turned out.

As you can see , it has no side or front flaps.  But it is pretty straightforward  and simple to put together.

The main thing to remember is remember to put the front insert (the house) against the front of the box.  Then put the double trees behind it followed by the single tree at the back.

 

Put the house on after you’ve put the insert in the box so that the snow under the house shows on the outside of the card.

Sorry, I don’t know what’s going on with Blogger today with the crazy spacing and the change in font size.  Weird!!

A fairly simple card

 

The pearls on the flowers are in your package.

You should be able to do this type of card in your sleep!

I gave you extra flowers to build up your decoupage but I would suggest you not use all of them because your card won’t fit in the envelope if you do.

I did put a dot of Stickles in the center of many of the flowers but did not do that in your kits.

And here’s the inside:
