Day 3 Collection of Cards

This is card for day 3 of my collection of cards for my boyfriend.  This is a waterfall card and as with most of my cards, it looks way more complicated than it is.

Supplies:

• 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cherry cobbler
• 4 x 3/4 cherry cobbler
• 4 - 2 x 2 cherry cobbler
• 2 x 4 cherry cobbler
• 2 x 9 white cardstock
• 4 - 1 3/4 x 1 3/4
• Computer generated sentiment
• 2 white brads
• 2" white ribbon

Score long strip at 2, 2 3/4, 3 1/2, 4 1/4.  Adhere the edge of the scored section to the center of the shorter strip.  Attach the shorter strip to the base with 2 brads.  Starting at the bottom of the long strip adhere the 2" squares at the score lines (put adhesive just at the top of the squares).

Valentine's Day Hidden Message Side Step

I'm so excited about this card. For February, I am leading the Ladies' Joy Fellowship meeting where we will be making Valentine's Day cards.So this is what I decided on.  Since side step cards typically do not have a lot of room to write, I added a little extra where each person can write something.

Supplies:

• 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 white cardstock
• Tag - 2 1/2 x 7 1/2 white cardstock
• 3 3/8 x 4 Cherry Cobbler SU cardstock (plus scrap for hearts)
• 6" white ribbon
• Cherry Cobble SU Classic Stamp Pad
• Fine Glitter
• Sponge
• Computer generated sentiment (font - Penhurst)
• 4 Dimensionals
• Self-adhesive peals
• Cuttlebug folders (Love is in the Air, DeVine Swirls & Swiss Dots)
• Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz

Measuring in 3 1/2 inches at 1" put your cutting blade into the paper and cut down to 6 3/8".  Next score at 4 1/4" all the way across.  Score just the wider section at 1", 2", 3 1/8", and 6 3/8".  I embossed 3 hearts and the 3 3/8 x 4 cardstock using different embossing folders. 

I put 4 dimensionals on the back of the 3 3/8 x 4 piece.  Using a Zig 2 Way Glue pen, spread glue on the top heart and add glitter.  Adhered it to the last "step" on the card base.  The tag then is slid in behind this piece.

Ink the edges of the tag and the sentiments.  I also inked the white ribbon.  I added tape to the back of the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment.  Then snipped an inch of ribbon off and tied a loose knot into the middle of the longer piece of ribbon and slid the inch piece into the center and pulled it tight.  This was attached to the top of the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment.  I adhered both sentiments to the card, as well as the hearts.

Gift of Cards (Part 5)

This is called a swing (or flip flop) card.  Again, it looks pretty complext, but it is quite easy to make. 

Supplies:

• Purple shimmer paper 6 3/4 x 5 1/2
• 2 pcs white cardstock 3 3/4 x 2 3/4
• Pink shimmer paper
• Red shimmer paper
• Black cardstock
• Black ink
• Clear embossing powder
• Heat gun
• Popdots

Measure in 2 3/4" and then score down from 0 to 1 1/4 and 4 1/4 to 5 1/2.  Flip the base over and then repeat the first step.  Next turn the cardstock a quarter of a turn, measure in 1 1/4" and cut from 1" to the score line.  Lift up the cutting blade and cut from the score line again down to 5 1/2".  Again do this on both sides.  Adhere the white rectangles in the center of the cutout you have just made.  I cut the heart from the pink shimmer paper using Home Decor.  Using the blackout feature I cut the same heart from the red shimmer paper.  I cut the music notes from Hannah Montana out of the black cardstock.  I then inked the notes and sprinkled them with the clear embossing powder.  I melted the embossing powder with the heat gun and then reapplied the powder and heated three more times togive them a nice glossy sheen.  the hearts are attached to the front and the back of the rectangle with popdots.
