#SU! Beachy Birthday Slide-Out Pocket Fun Fold Card

 When it's just 6 degrees outside, I tend to want to think of warmer climates and for me that always include the beach. The Paradise Palms Bundle is the perfect set for that beachy feel.



When I think of the beach, besides sand and ocean waves I also tend to think of white-washed wood. The opposite sides of every piece of Heart & Home Designer Series Papers has a gray wood-grain design. Perfect choice for a beachy card!


So many of the birthday cards I send these days get sent with a gift card. Therefore I'm always looking for a great way to package the two together. This gift card pull card was just the thing. 


Instead of using ribbon which adds a bit of bulk to the front and makes it a bit more difficult to mail, I added an adhesive-backed die cut which makes this card very mailable.

Hope you'll check out my video tutorial below:


Measurements:
Basic Gray cardstock: 4-1/4" x 11" and scored along the 11" side at 3-1/2" & 9"; 3/4" x 5-3/4" apply Adhesive Sheet to the back and run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with die-cut

Basic White cardstock: 3-1/2" x 7" and scored along the 7" side at 1/2" and 5" (this is for the inside pull); 2-5/8" x 3-3/8" for the beach scene image

Pool Party cardstock: 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" 
Heart & Home DSP: 4" x 5". Cut so you have 2 pieces: 1- 1-3/4" x 4; 1- 3-1/4" x 4" 
(You could substitute a pieces of ribbon or trim, 14" instead)

#SU! Driving By Motion Stamping Slimline Birthday

 Slim-line cards are all the rage it seems right now. And they can be super quick and fun to make as well!



When I began designing this card, the idea of motion stamping seemed the perfect technique to use. You could use anything that "moves". For this card I used the January-February 2022 Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Driving By.



Enjoy the video tutorial below:

Here are the measurements for this card:

Granny Apple Green cardstock: 7" x 8-1/2" and scored along the 7" side at 3-1/2"; 1" x 3-7/8" for the layer under "Happy Birthday" greeting.

Basic White cardstock: 3-1/4" x 8-1/4", cut 2 one for inside and one for outside; 3/4" x 3-5/8" for the greeting; scrap that is approximately 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" for the stamped bus.

#SU! Awesomely Otters Kite Birthday Card

These adorable otters were just begging to join the Kite Delight stamp set. At least that's what I thought. 


I know I could fussy-cut the otter, but wanted to use him in a simpler way.  Isn't he just adorable? 

Here are the measurements:

Gray Granite cardstock (base): 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored along the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/4"

Basic White cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (inside); 2" x 5-1/2" (scraps if you want to color the sun and kite)

Poppy Parade cardstock: scraps for the kite

Daffodil Delight cardstock: scraps for the sun and kite bow

Pool Party cardstock: 1/2" x 2-1/4" (banner cut one end)

Here's the video tutorial:
