Customer TY Cards & Co-ordinating Sleeves




Thank you Sleeve - DSP measuring 8"x 5,1/2", score on the long side @ 3, 3/4" & 7, 1/2". Then score on the short side @ 1/2" on the left side. Cut out an aperture with framelit on the front after first score line on the long side, next punch out the gold using the Starburst punch then using the same framelit center in the middle of shape cut it out leaving the decorative frame then adhere around the aperture so it creates a beautiful frame for the image. Using a scrap of whisper white stamp the hanging basket image with versa mark ink and add the gold embossing powder &  heat it up. Place the image so it is central inside of your DSP with the aperture. Fold & burnish your score lines & adhere with your choice of adhesive.
Thank you Card - Card stock measuring 6" x 4" scoring on the long side @ 3". Top layer of different card stock measuring 2, 3/4" x 3, 3/4". I decorated the layer by stamping the heart image with versa mark adding gold embossing powder then heat set it. Using whisper white I then stamped a hanging basket image & sentiment using the same process. I used the framelit for the image and hand cut out the sentiment. Placed my die onto the gold decorative foil doilie then added the sentiment.

Office Stationary Set




This week I've created an adorable folder which holds sticky notes, labels and a note pad.
Using cardstock measuring 11"x7" score on the long side @ 5, 1/8" & 5, 7/8" fold and burnish. Then using the same cardstock cut a piece @ 8, 3/8" x 3, 1/2" scoring @ 1/2" & 1" on one long side and both short sides. Cut away the 3 squares on both sides and make the remaining square into a flap. Adhere the rectangle pouch leaving the same distance around the edge about 3/8 then adhere to the base. I choose a different coloured cardstock for layering so I could decorate them, the layers are 2 of 4, 3/4" x 6, 3/4" one for the front and the inside and the smaller layer measures 2, 1/4" x 6, 1/4" to adhere to the inside pouch. I adhered ribbon under the top layer on the front and wrapped it around the back to keep the folder closed. I also adhered the layer of very vanilla cardstock over ribbon inside so I could use mini glue dots to adhere the sticky notes then tie a bow around them.

Beautiful Flowering Gift Tags - Hanging Garden Stamp Set
I created these stunning gift tags that show off the three fine detailed images, one of each image which also includes the beautiful sentiments.
My gift tags measure 2" x 4". I cut out three in colour so they can be written on, on the back (To & From) then three in Whisper White so I could stamp the images then coloured them using the Stampin' Blends. I stamped the sentiments on separate pieces of Whisper White fussy cut them out and highlighted them so they stand out against the white background. I then coloured the green & yellow ribbon before attaching them.

After filling in for my team member who was ill, in February i'm now getting the hang of scheduling the Design Team challenges that releases on Tuesday's.

Small Easter Pouch holding a packet of Galaxy Caramel mini eggs
I created this pouch by cutting a piece of cardstock to 8x8" scoring two sides @ 3 & 5".
Cutting from each outer corner into the centre square corners then i folded in the card to  match the cut line up against the score lines and glued them together, cutting away the excess and pinched the top closed after cutting a wavy line to add to the sky element. Using the 1/8 handheld punch making 2 holes at either side at the top for the ribbon. I stamped the cute images onto whisper white cardstock, after colouring them I fussy cut out them out.

Adorable Garden Girl Seed Bag
Slender bag measures 4.5 inches wide, 6 inches tall and 0.5 deep. Using the *Petal Passion DSP - 145589 from the Spring/Summer catalogue I cut the DSP to 10.5 x 6.5 inches then scored on the long side @ 4.5, 5, 9.5, & 10 inches. Rotated the paper clockwise then scored @ 0.5 inches to form the seed bag.
Using cardstock I then cut the background layer to 4 x 5.25 *Calypso Coral - 145582 and the top layer of *Whisper White - 106549 to 3.75 x 5 inches.
Using the beautiful *Garden Girl stamp set - 143952 I stamped the image and coloured this by using *Stampin' Blends combo packs, Calypso Coral - 104405, Daffodil Delight - 144603 & Old Olive - 144597. Then I added the *Calypso Coral ribbon - 147243 to decorate and seal the top of the bag by punching 2 holes using the handheld circle 1/8 - 134365 to thread the ribbon through and tied it off into a bow.
