Thinking of You

thinking of youOur house is full of family right now and I couldn’t be happier!  Unfortunately finding time to blog has been very hard to do!  I do have a card for you that I made last week before our family arrived.  It is a quick and easy card that uses the Watercolor Wonder Designer Note Cards (and Envelopes) as the base of my card.  There are five different designs and just think about all of the different ways to use these cards! I actually made a video for this card and will post it on Monday.  Have a great rest of the day!

Today marks the first day that you can order from the Occasions Catalog!! Woo hoo!!  It is filled will so many fun products!

IMG_0920 copyCan you spot what’s new on my cards?  There are actually THREE new products!  I used the Decorative Dots embossing folder which will be available during Sale-a-bration at the end of the month! With each $50 purchase you can pick one free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure!  Now you CAN purchase  the Angled Tag Topper Punch (#133323).  You can make a tag or topper any length you want.  I stamped it using a new stamp set called Petite Petals (Wood #133152  Clear #133155).  The set also has a matching punch (#133322) and they are available together as a bundle  which means a 15% savings for you (Bundle Wood #134821  Bundle Clear #134822),

These two cards are going out in the mail today! I am off to write inside them and send them!  Have a great day!

Directions for Tri-Fold Pocket Card

Vintage Vogue front

I was asked for directions to the card I posted today.  I originally posted this card last year and did not post the directions so I quickly took some pictures today to show how to put the front part of the card together.  It is called a Tri-Fold Pocket card.  As I mentioned in my earlier post, this product uses retired product such as the stamp set, Vintage Vogue, which can now be found in the Clearance Rack (many new items were added TODAY).  The scallop square base has also retired but the scallop square from the Squares Collection Framelits would be a great substitution! Here are the steps for the piece that goes on top of the base.

IMG_0894

Use a 4×12 piece of Designer Series Paper. Score it at 4 inches on both ends.

 

IMG_0896

Fold on the score lines. Take the top left corner and bring it down to the opposite corner using the score line as your guide.

IMG_0899

Do the same thing to the opposite side but bring the lower right hand corner up to the opposite corner again using the score line as your guide. Use snail to adhere these pieces that you just folded.

IMG_0902

Add sticky strip as shown in the picture and fold this piece over to the center to create your pocket. (Please note that my pocket is on the opposite side in the directions.  I hope this isn’t too confusing).

IMG_1164Next, attach this piece to your base.  If you don’t have the Square Framelits, you could mount it on any size square.

Two inside pieces that can be used to write a personal note:

 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 (purple)

 3 x 3 (Whisper White)

On the outside, my pieces are

2 x 3 (purple)

1  3/4  x  2  3/4 (Whisper White)

When adhering the pieces for the outside, be sure to only put adhesive on half of the outer square so that you will be able to open your card! I hope this helps!  If you would like to see some of the new items added to the Clearance Rack, you can visit my ONLINE STORE.
