Creative Card-iology Team November "Treats/Giftable" Projects Blog Hop

 Creative Card-iology Team November "Treats/Giftable" Projects Blog Hop 

This month's theme is to share Treats or Giftables.

 

During the holiday's, I find that giving selective Gift Card's

works best for my family and friends.

Here is my favorite gift card holder called "Diaper Fold"

It is prefect for gift cards but can be made in different sizes.

 

Here is the card I made

HERE ARE THE SUPPLIES USED TO MAKE THIS CARD

• Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) #161958
• Memento Black Ink Pad #132708
• Paper Trimmer #152392
• Bone Folder #102300
• Take Your Pick Tool #144107
• Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine  #149653
  
• Stampin' Seal #152813
• Dimensionals #104430

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT 

In this tutorial the name Seal is referring to the use of the Stampin' Seal Adhesive.

• Cut a 6" x6" piece of DSP
• Fold the DSP diagonally in half and burnish with a bone folder.
  
  
  
  
  
• With the point at the top, fold the right point over so that the point meets the opposite side and the top of that fold is a straight line.
  
  
  
  
  
• Next fold the left point over the other fold.
  
  
  
  
  
• Next take the front point at the top and fold it down over your folds.
  
  
  
• Here is another Diaper Fold card using the other side of the paper.

• Studio Decor  9" x 9" White Shadowbox Frame

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT 

In this tutorial the name Seal refers to the use of the Stampin' Seal Adhesive.

• Cut a sheet of Basic White 9" x 9" and set aside.  
• Cut a 3 x 3 piece of Night of Navy for your greeting. From the Night Divine Stamp Set, stamp the O Holy Night with VersaMark Ink, add White Embossing Powder, then use the Heat Tool to emboss.
• Die cut the greeting using the next to largest Circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
•  Cut a 3¼” x 3¼” Silver Foil and die cut using the largest Circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
• Add dimensionals to the back of the greeting and adhere to the silver foil circle.
• Open the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder with the line and Stampin Up on the left.
• Take the large 3 star die from the Stars At Night die set and place it in the Embossing Folder with the cut side up until you feel it in place.
• Cut a 4¾” x 4¾”” Silver Foil piece, place it silver side down on the die, close the folder and run thru your Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine using plates 1 and 4.  Because this is a Hybrid Die, this will emboss all three star dies and cut them out.
  
  
• Continue die cutting all the pieces indicated below and at the end there will be a picture showing all the die cut pieces.
• Die cut a 4" x 5" Silver Foil piece for the Manger
• Die cut a 1½” x 5" Gold Foil piece for the 3 camels
• Die cut a 2" x 3" Black Foil piece for Joseph, Jesus, Mary and 2 wise-men.
• Using a small black foil piece, diet cut just 1 wise man, not 3 as pictured below.
• Die cut a 1½” x ½” Gold Foil piece for Joseph, Jesus and Mary
• Die cut scrap Gold Foil piece for Donkey and Sheep.
• Die cut scrap Gold Foil piece for sheep but this time turn the foil over and die cut the back to have the sheep coming from the other direction. Because the foil will be on the plate, any impression on the plate will transfer to the image.  If you have a new plate, I recommend  using it to get the cut clean. After cutting, run you bone folder over a few times to give it a front look instead of the back side look.
• Below is a picture of all the die cuts.
  
  
  
• Add multipurpose liquid glue to the gold piece of Joseph, Jesus and Mary and adhere to the Black foil piece with 2 wise men.
• On all the remaining pieces add Mini, Large or strip dimensionals and Stampin' seal on the camels feet.
• Now that everything is added to make the Nativity Scene I added some silver rhinestones to light up the stars. 
• Now add some liquid glue on the back of the Nativity Scene and adhere to the 9" x 9" Basic White piece we started with.
• Now place your finished project in the White Shadowbox Frame.

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT 

In this tutorial the name Seal refers to the use of the Stampin' Seal Adhesive.

• Cut a sheet of Basic White 8½" x 7" (Score at 3½").
• Fold and burnish to form card base.
• Cut a piece of Basic White  8⅜" x 3⅜".
• Add a little adhesive to the back and stick it on your grid paper to hold it in place while you sponge.
• Then place the large houndstooth mask over you Basic White piece, then use some posted notes on all four sides to secure it in place.
• Using Copper Clay ink and a blending brush, sponge over all the mask in a circular motion, then reverse the circular motion till complete.
  
  
  
  
• Cut a piece of Basic White 5⅜" x 3¼", add a little adhesive on the back and place on your grid paper to keep it from moving during the color process.
• In the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks there are 4 masks marked 1, 2, 3 and 4. In the upper left corner there is a V notch.
• Place Mask 1 centered over the Basic White piece and add post-it notes on all 4 sides to keep it in place.  With a pencil, mark the V notch and the lower left corner.
• Using a blending brush, using these 4 colors (Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze) sponge the flower starting lightly from the outside in.  With each color moving into the center you will see a beautiful blend of colors.
• Remove mask 1 and replace with mask 2, lining the notch and lower left corner.  Repeat the process above using Old Olive.
• Remove mask 2 and replace with mask 3, lining the notch and lower left corner.  Repeat the process above using Pecan Pie, sponge till you reach a medium shade.
• Remove mask 3 and replace with mask 4, lining the notch and lower left corner.  Repeat the process above using Pecan Pie again sponging this time until you reach a darker shade.
• Remove mask 4.
  
  
  
    
• To clean the masks, run under water to remove all the color and pat dry with a towel.  DO NOT use a baby wipe as some of the fivers may catch  on the mask and possibly catch and tear the mask.
• You can use your sponged sunflower as is or step it up by placing the sunflower in the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and running thru the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.
• Cut 2 pieces of Copper Clay 3¼" x 1" and adhere to the top and bottom of your stamped emboss piece showing an ⅛” of cardstock.
  
  
  
  
• You can use the Sunflowers distressed as is or step it up one more time.
• Cut a piece of Basic White 5" x 4" and restamp the 4 masks as previously done above.
• Fuzzy cut the 3 sunflowers and 3 leaves. Add dimensionals to the back and layer over the distressed pieces.
• Add Multipurpose Glue to the back of the sunflower and adhere to the houndstooth piece showing 2 rows of the houndstooth at the top.
  
  
• Stamp your greeting on a piece of Basic White then die cut using the Something Fancy Dies.
• Cut a 5" piece Copper Clay ⅜" Texture Ribbon and wrap around the bottom of the card.
• Place dimensionals to the back of your greeting and adhere over the ribbon at the bottom of the card.
