June Class Projects

Finally getting around to posting the projects from this month's Stamping Escape class.  All the cards showcased a fancy fold technique.  All cards used the stamp set, Work of Art and the new Photopolymer stamp set, Endless Birthday Wishes.

This first card is much like the card I posted from my June stamp club projects.  The size of the flag image is the same as that card, but with a Real Red layer behind instead of the Night of Navy layer.  You will find the template showing the measurements of where to score and where to cut.  I simply took the focal image (flag here) and adjusted other templates that I've seen to make it work.  This card fits nicely into a 3-5/8"x6-1/2" envelope.  Finished size of the card is 3-1/2"x6".




This card uses the easel fold.  Start with a piece of card stock measuring 11"x4-1/4".  Score it at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2".  I used a textured piece of card stock to act as the stop instead of a button or other more bulky accessory.  Those items work great if you are hand-delivering your card.  Not so much if you are wanting to mail the card.



This last card, I call a Z-fold card.  It's like a card within a card, really.  The ourter card is made from a piece of card stock measuring 8-1/4"x4-1/4", scored at 2-3/4".  The smaller card is made using a piece of card stock measuring 8"x3", folded in half at 4".

I love giving what look like complicated cards.  Especially when they are really easy to make!

Thanks again for stopping by!

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...
