CS97 – Mini Pocket Envelope

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme.  This month the theme is Dies!  So many awesome dies in the catalog that can almost make the card by themselves!

MINI POCKET ENVELOPE DIES

I was excited to see that the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies were on the Online Exclusives list!  They are perfect for holding a special message or I use them a lot on the INSIDE of cards for a gift card pocket!  Here the gift card pocket is on the outside!

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 Basic Black cardstock.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Lemon Lime Twist is embossed with the Metal Plate Embossing Folder and added to the base.
  • A 1-1/2 x 4 strip of Zoo Crew DSP is added on the front.
  • The Mini Pocket Envelope (Online Exclusive) was cut from coordinating Zoo Crew DSP with the Die, adhered to form the pocket, then added to the front of the base card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A 3/4 x 3-3/8 strip of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock was placed towards the bottom of the envelope for the “ground”.
  • One of the animals from the Zoo Crew DSP was hand-cut, then colored with Smoky Slate Ink Pad and Water Painter and Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends for the cheeks and ears.  The ground was colored with Light Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends.  It was hand-cut and added to the envelope with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Just for You from Charming Sentiments stamp set was stamped with Lemon Lime Twist Ink on Basic White cardstock, then cut with the Mini Pocket Envelope oval die.  It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the envelope, too.

 

Super simple!  I love how fun this DSP is with the cute little critters and black and white patterns!  Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!

CS73 – Dainty Delight

By | 2 Comments

Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…we are kicking off the new year with the theme of “LOVE”.  Time to get ready for Valentine’s Day, right?  We’ll create a simple card every Tuesday in January using that theme!

DAINTY DELIGHT

My first time using the new Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Bundle and I made a card that is mostly from the coordinating Dainty Flowers Designer Paper!  I also used the Mini Pocket Envelope Die for the first time!

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • Base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock was embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 3/4 x 4 piece of Dainty Flowers DSP was added across the front.
  • The Mini Pocket Envelope was cut with the die from the Dainty Flowers DSP, adhered together, then added to the front.  This pocket is a perfect size for a gift card!
  • I made a small notecard by stamping the flower image with Old Olive Ink on a 1-3/4 x 3-1/4 piece of Basic White that is layered on a 2 x 3-1/2 piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock.  It was colored with Fresh Freesia, Old Olive, and Starry Sky Stampin’ Blends, then tucked in the pocket.
  • The greeting from Dainty Delight stamp set was stamped on Old Olive cardstock with Starry Sky Ink, then cut with the scallop label from the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies.
  • The daisy flower was cut with the Dainty Delight Dies from Rich Razzleberry cardstock and the center from Starry Sky cardstock, then added to the front of the pocket.
  • A trio of gold Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins were added to the background.

 

This was SUPER easy to make as the dies did most of the work!  Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
