Four Panel Card - A Series

This is a technique I saw from another demonstrator.  I can't take credit for it, but I did work out the measurements.

They are included at the bottom of this post.

I've been working on an entire series of these cards.  You first saw these from me when I posted my January club cards.  It included a Four Panel Card.  Each club member received a sheet with the measurements to reproduce these cards. 

 Can you see the applications for a card like this?  Change the background color, mat color, and patterned paper and you have an entirely different card.
 Here are a selection of birthday cards.  What about Valentines?  What about Father's Day? 
 So many options!  Instead of matting the patterned paper with white, use vanilla, or another color that will match your design.
 For this set of cards I used the stamp set and coordinating paper from the Occasions catalog... Picture Perfect Birthday, and Picture Perfect Party.


Use a card base, and a mat for a normal A2 card.

The white mat measures 1 7/8" by 2 1/2"
Cut the patterned paper or DSP to measure 1 3/4" by 2 3/8".

2018 Card Club - January

Today is our FIRST meeting of our Card Club for 2018.  We're adding two new members today!  It's very exciting!  The more the merrier!

This year, we meet the 2nd Saturday of each alternating month.  I've told the ladies we will make at LEAST 3 cards - one Happy Birthday card, one Thank You card, and one Christmas card.  As usual, I already have one bonus card planned.  These are usually very quick to make.

Here is our Happy Birthday card.  I'm teaching a technique using the Large Letter framelits.  The color choice is totally yours - pick a theme!  I used other colors and letters with this for Rozella's birthday card a few posts ago.
 Here is our Christmas card for today.  This card also has lots of options!  It doesn't have to be a Christmas card.  Just switch out the DSP and base colors.  Add a different sentiment and you've got a fantastic card for any occasion!
  Here's our bonus card.  I used my new toy the Scan and Cut 2 to cut the Panda.  That stamp set is in our Sale-A-Bration catalog.  I believe these are going to go FAST!  They will sell out quickly.  If you think they're cute... don't wait!

I have one card coming to show you.  I'm waiting on stamp set.  I HATE it when I lose stamp sets.  When it arrives, I'll complete the card and post it.

New Year's Resolution - Birthday Cards!

I'll admit it.  I'm a card maker 90% of my crafting time.  I make Birthday cards... and then I'm TERRIBLE about sending them!  TERRIBLE!  I mean, I put together a Birthday Card Buffet for my friend's art studio - and I'm terrible about sending out cards. 

That's where the resolution comes in.  I've already set one of my storage boxes as the Birthday Card Box, and labeled the dividers by months.  I put in my address database, and the sheet I have with everyone's birthdays along with return address labels.  Next time we stop at the post office - I'll get enough stamps to get through the year.  That's called NO EXCUSES!


This is a variation on a card I saw from another demonstrator... a CASE with a twist.  I used the oval stitched die, the DSP instead of stamping the blow tickers, and some Berry Burst ribbon. 
 Here is the inside of the card using the same color theme from the DSP on the card front.  I made 4 of these, and they are already in the Birthday box!
