I had purchased the Thank You x 2 card kit from Stampin' Up! to be able to make cute, fast, easy, but pretty Thank You cards. I like this kit so much that I think I need to order more! The kit comes with the pre-scored, pre-scalloped cards, an Old Olive stamping spot, the stamp set, Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, and Old Olive envelopes.

1. In one sample, I added a 1-1/2 inch x 5 inch piece of Kraft patterned paper from the Parisian Breeze designer series paper (DSP) pack. I made the card in a vertical layout, used the retired 1/8" Circle Handheld Punch to punch wholes in all the scallops, and then added the strip of DSP to the right side of the inside of the card.
2. Stamped the little dots in Old Olive and the small flower in Old Olive in desired areas of the card front.
3. Stamped greeting in the upper left corner.

Horizontal, Landscape Layout

1. On the other, horizontal layout sample, I added a 3/4 inch x 5 inch strip to the inside of the card right above where I stamped the greeting.
2. Only stamped the greeting in the bottom, right, and then the small green flowers every other scallop.

What I did:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/trifold_pocket_card/

1. Cut an 8 x 8-1/2 piece of designer series paper.
2. Scored it at 2-1/4 and 6-1/4.
3. Turn 90 degrees and then score at 2-1/2. See pieces pictured above.
4. Cut out the 2 bottom squares.
5. I used a round bowl to manually trace and cut the rounded edge at the top.
6. NOTE: Used the same round bowl to manually cut/curve the Whisper White and Chocolate Chip pieced used for the inside (for the greeting).
7. I then stamped some Baroque Swirls on the Whisper White, then adhered to the Chocolate Chip paper.
8. Then for the stip, I cut a 2-1/2 inch of Chocolate Chip cardstock, then a 2-1/4 inch piece of designer series paper and adhered to the Chocolate Chip. Wrapped about and trimmed.
9. Then wrap and cut/adhere the Chocolate Chip Double Stitched ribbon.
10. Then dyed the flower with the re-inkers and set aside to dry. Use a napkin to dry it faster.
11. Then use a flower brad thru both flowers (one dyed flower, one large silk flower).
12. Then adhere the flower to the ban using a Pop-up Glue Dot.
13. Fold the pocket card at the score marks and assemble all the pieces.

3. Stamp images with Chocolate Chip Craft Ink on the other piece of paper using the large swirl and small flower of the Baroque Motifs set.
4. Let dry.
5. Tear a corner off the right, lower corner of the other piece of designer series paper (see image above).
6. Then wrap a piece of ribbon around the middle of that piece and adhere in the back.
7. Punch a few more holes where you will place 3 more clear rhinestone brads.
8. Then adhere this panel to the card front.
9. A piece of Very Vanilla piece of paper is included with the kit and is adhered to the inside so you can easily write or stamp a greeting.
10. You're done!

1. Adhere the blue/white patterned paper to the Whisper White card front.
2. You can adhere the 3 white pearls now or later using Mini Glue Dots.
3. Tear the Sahara Sand piece of paper, then adhere on top of card front.
4. Tear the large floral patterned piece of paper, then wrap a piece of ribbon around the piece and adhere behind. Then adhere this piece to the card front leaving some of the torn Sahara Sand piece showing.
5. Then stamp an image in Chocolate Chip Classic Ink on the Whisper White square piece, then layer on the Sahara Sand piece, then adhere and layer on the Baja Breeze piece. Set aside -- this will be the last thing to adhere.
6. Adhere the triangle in the upper left corner.
7. From the paper torn from the large floral patterned piece of paper, now tear a small, thinner piece and adhere to the triangle. Then manually snip the edges on a slant once adhered.

10. You're done.

1. Same as above except there is no Whisper White card. Instead Sahara Sand makes up the main card and is torn at the bottom, front of the card only (that is why the card cannot stand on its own).

3. Follow steps 4-9 above.
4. You're done.

1. In this card, I cut out several roses from the pink patterned roses paper. Set aside.


2. The square card is a 5x5 card (Whisper White paper).

4. Adhere a piece of Pink Pirouette card stock on top of that.


5. Then, on top of that I adhered a piece of white paper where I had printed "Happy 1st Birthday" from my computer. However, you could have stamped a birthday related or other desired greeting!


6. Lastly, adhere the pink roses (previously cut out) using Stampin' Dimensionals.

1. Add Dazzling Diamonds glitter to highlights of the roses.
2. Use Crystal Effects on the hightlights of the roses.
3. Stamp your own greeting.
4. Use the sponging technique to make it more vintage looking.
5. Add another color to compliment the pink being used, such as Chocolate Chip or Kiwi Kiss.

This is probably my favorite this year --- the beautiful holiday house seen, with a punched window and scalloped roof! Of course it was probably took the longest time to make (LOL).

I colored the stamp with different inks, then used the Versa Mark pen to highlight certain areas, such as the trim around the door, the tree, and the sled, then added Clear Embossing powder and heated. It darkened, highlighted and glossed those areas. Then I embossed the Lovely as a Tree "tree".

I punched the window with the smaller square punch and made the gray frame for the window using both punches. I also stamped the tree on the inside of the card - to show on the inside of the window!

Lastly, the roof was created with several pieces of paper, punched with the Scallop Edge punch.

I can't remember where I purchased this Santa Face from several years ago, but I use it every year. This gift card holder is from Stampin' Up! - it comes pre-scored and punched to hold the card!

Again the Santa Face was used here with the Lovely As A Tree stampset, and the French Script background stamp. Sponging and embossing were also used!

This chocolate nugget box was for another kids craft class! The loved wrapping each of the cholocates with Stampin' Up!'s designer series paper, and coloring the santa card. I wrapped the bow for them (LOL).

Last but not least...this card is simply but elegant. It is done in all Chocolate Chip Craft Ink and embossed. Glitter was added to many parts of the card as well. The technique "Masking" was also used on the center panel to place the baby right above the swirled bottom of the frame. Just be careful with the Craft Ink when creating this card since so much of it was used - it can bet messy (LOL).

Happy stamping and I hope you enjoyed all the holiday sample left-overs!

We created this card at the last Holiday Card Making workshop. It is cased from one of Amy Celona's holiday cards. I really liked the torn look and wanted to do a card using it and the Home for Christmas stamp set.

What may not be apparent is the use of clear embossing. The large tree is embossed and so are some of the elements in the image (the wreathe around the door, the small tree, the sled, the lantern, and the circle wreathe on the door).

Unlike the Home for Christmas tunnel card (http://heatherporto.blogspot.com/2008/10/home-for-christams-tunnel-card.html) which was watercolored, this card uses Stampin' Write markers to "color" the stamp image. So basically nothing is colored in, everything is outlined with color instead.

1. Home For Christmas stamp set
2. Lovely as a Tree stamp set
3. Noble Deer stamp set (retired)
4. Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, and Whisper White card stock.
5. Tearing tool.
6. Clear Embossing Powder
7. Heat Gun
8. Stampin' Write Markers
9. Old Olive Classic Ink and Craft Ink
10. SNAIL adhesive
11. Stampin' Dimensionals
12. Versa Mark Pen
    

1. Start with the Kiwi Kiss card. On the card front, stamp the small trees from the Noble Deer set in Old Olive. You can substitute by using the horizontal bunch of trees from the Lovely as a Tree set.
2. Stamp the large tree in Old Olive Craft ink. Cover with clear embossing powder. Shake off excess. Heat with a heat gun.
3. Use the same technique to stamp and create the greeting on Whisper White scrap paper. Then using the tearing tool, tear each side of the greeting scrap paper. Then adhere to a scrap piece of Riding Hood Red. Then tear all the edgets of the red paper (as shown in the image above) - so you have two layers of torn paper for the greeting. Set aside for now.
4. Using the desired Stampin' Write Markers, flip over the Home for Christmas main stamp (show above) and then literally color it with different colored markers -- greens for the wreathe and trees, mustard for the sled and lantern, etc.
5. When you have finished coloring the stamp, stamp on a larger scrap Whisper White piece of paper. Now using the Versa Mark pen, color over some of the image, like the wreathe around the door and small tree, lantern and sled. Then cover with clear embossing powder, shake off excess, and heat. Notice it really brings out the color and shines!
6. Then use the tearing tool to tear all the edges. Adhere to Riding Hood Red paper and again tear all the sides.
7. Adhere to the Kiwi Kiss card front.
8. Adhere the greeting now with Stampin' Dimensionals.

7. Stamp images of the pine cones in the upper corners, also in Chocolate Chip ink and on the piece of paper for the greeting.
8. Now, using Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, stamp 2 large pine trees and the greeting. Then cover in Clear Embossing powder and heat. It looks GREAT.

• Baja Breeze Prints Designer Series Paper
• Whisper White Card Stock
• Rhinestone Square Brads (Ice)
• 5-Petal Punch
• Scallop Edge Punch
• Crafter's Kit (piercing tool)
• SNAIL Adhesive

Instructions

1. Cut a piece of textured Baja Breeze card stock for the back (3-1/2 x 4-1/2).
2. Then on the right side use the Scallop Edge border punch.
3. Cut a piece of Baja Breeze Prints Designer Series Paper in a 3x3 square and adhere it to the textured card stock as shown above.
4. Cut the Fresh Cut Notes card to 3-1/4 x 3-1/4. However, to keep flower centered, you have to trim it equally on both the top and bottom (not just to trim from one side). So, in total you trim the right side (leaving and keeping the fold in the Notes card on the left side), then you trim a little on the top and then the same amount on the bottom until the desired 3-1/4 x 3-1/4 is left.
5. Now, we're ready to stamp. Notice the diagonal in blue ink. We used masking to protect some of the card from the blue ink. Using a piece of scrap paper, cover 1/2 the card (on a diagonal). Then using the Baja Breeze Classic Ink pad and the background stamp in the Fresh Cut stamp set, stamp on the lower, left area of the Fresh Cut Notes.
6. I then used the 5-petal flower punch to punch 1 flower in textured Baja Breeze.
7. Then used Craft White ink and rubbed it around the edges of the flower.
8. Using the piercing tool from the Crafter's Kit, pierce a hole in the middle of the flower die-cut, and also in the middle of the punched flower.
9. Place the punched flower behind the die-cut and then place a square blue Rhinestone brad (Ice Collection) thru them both.
10. Adhere the Notes card to the back of the card (over the prints/patterened paper and textured paper as shown above).
11. Now, on the inside of the Notes card, adhere tape to the top and bottom borders --- do NOT tape in the middle or the right --- this is forming the pocket.
12. Then close the Notes card. Now the top and bottom are closed but the pocket (in the middle) is still open.
13. Now cut a piece of 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 in Whisper White to use as your greeting, the piece that will slide in and out of the pocket. NOTE: Your greeting will be written or stamped on the back of the Whisper White paper so it doesn't show thru the die-cut flower!

1. Cut one piece of 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 Chocolate Chip and one of the pink patterned paper from the Bella Rose designer series pack.


2. On both pieces, score 1/2 inch and then at 1 inch on either side. See this tutorial on how to then fold it and make is pop-out: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee/index.php/resources/tutorials/shadow_box_card/


3. I used the Bella Toile background stamp on the Chocolate Chip card stock with Clear Embossing Powder. For more on heat embossing, visit: http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/4287.asp


4. Using my Creative Memories circle cutting system, I cut a whole in the middle of the Chocolate Chip piece of cardstock.


5. Using the A Rose is a Rose stamp set, I created the inside (Pink Pirouette card stock) using two-step stamping. For more info on 2-step stamping, visit: http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/4284.asp


6. First I stamped the rose, solid image in pink although it can hardly be seen.


7. Then stamped the accent, highlighted image for the rose in red and rock-n-rolled (http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/4290.asp) it in Chocolate Chip (although you can hardly see it).


8. I did the same color combination for the smaller roses.


9. For the leaves, I used Kiwi Kiss and the stamp-off technique (where for the solid image, I stamp it in ink, stamp-off on a scrap piece of paper, then stamp the real card stock leaving a faded image in green. Then the highlighted/accented stamp for leaves was stamped regularly).


10. To finish the card I taped the sides together and then used the Scallop Edge border punch on each end.


11. Tie a bow with Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon and adhere with Mini Glue Dot at the bottom of the circle, and add a greeting to the front if desired.

15. Hodgepodge Hardware (retired)

NON-Stampin' Up! tool used: Scor-pal to make the creases in the inside of the card (Tunnel card).

Instructions

1. Before doing the inside of the card (the Tunnel Card, directions below), make a slice in the side of the fold and feed the ribbon through. Then feed through the hardware and tie a knot towards the right side. (Yes, the ribbon would appear on the inside of the card, although the tunnel inside will hide most of it.)



2. Stamp the image in Chocolate Chip ink and then color with Watercolor pencils.



3. I used a blender pen in some areas to soften the look, while in other areas, I did not blend but left the brightness and sketchiness of the watercolor pencil.



4. To adhere the hodgepodge greeting tag, I first adhered the greeting to the card front ("Christmas"), then laid the hardware over hit and marked the holes with a pencil. I then used the 1/16" circle handheld punch and the piercing tool from the Crafter's Kit. Then you can assemble.



5. Once the hardware is adhered, layer pieces and adhere to card front using Dimensionals.



6. To make the "Christmas" greeting, from the greeting stamp that came with Home for Christmas, I took the Chocolate Chip marker and just colored that word. Then stamped it on scrap paper and punch it using the small oval punch. I then punch green designer series paper (Kiwi Kiss Patterened Designer Series Paper, but to save money I would recommend using the green patterned paper from the Bella Rose DSP) with the larger oval punch.
   
   
7. Mini Glue dots were used to hold the buckle in place on the front of the card.

Technique: Tunnel Fold

Here is the inside of the card, called a Tunnel Fold.


You can get online instructions for this fold from Split Coast Stampers:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee/index.php/resources/tutorials/tunnel_card/#?printable=true

NOTE: To cut the ovals I used Creative Memories' cutting system. However, you can use Stampin' Up!'s Coluzzle system or a die-cuting system (like the new Big Shot)!

• Remember to wrap the ribbon around the layered pieces before adhering to card front.

• For $4.95 a month, you can have a basic blog layout (no custom banner, on designed background) by selecting a template they have from their template gallery.
• For $8.95 a month, you can do the same and add a custom banner (like mine).
• For $14.95 a month, you can do even more customization to HTML and add custom backgrounds (like the green flourish swirls on my left and right borders).

All this can be done for FREE on Blogger! Including incorporating PayPal buttons, adding custom banners and backgrounds, widgets, 3rd party advertising, and more. Everything you see on this blog is done with Blogger and is FREE.

Don't get me wrong though - there are some great features that Typepad has that Blogger does not have yet. Such as:

• Pages
• Feature This Post
• Widget Gallery
• Domain Mapping
• Password Protect
• Have multiple blogs under main account (if Plus account or higher)
• Gallery

For most bloggers, I think Blogger is a wonderful platform and easy to use but most of all it is FREE. I would recommend it for most users, although for some, Typepad will be the better choice if you need certain abilities.

• 5x7 Journals from Michael's for $1.00.

1. Cut 4 pieces of 4 15/16" x 7" designer series paper (Ginger Blossom). I used the striped Ruby Red for the front, and the Dotted Ruby Red for the back, and then the large flowers for the inner covers.
2. On the front cover, I used Baroque Motifs' large swirl/floral stamp around the edges in Ruby Red. Then cleaned the stamp.
3. Cut a 4 15/16" x 4" piece of River Rock designer series paper (as part of the Ginger Blossom pack), and again use the floral stamp from Baroque Motifs on the edges in River Rock ink.
4. Stamp a desired greeting in River Rock as well.
5. Cut a 4 15/16" x 3 1/4" piece of Blush Blossom and use Distressor Tool (Cutter's Kit) to rough the edges.
6. Cut a 4 15/16" x 2 1/4" piece of designer series paper (I use the small flowers piece).
7. Use Boho Blossoms Punch with peach designer series paper and fit a Ruby Red brad in the center (punching it with a 1/16" Handheld Circle Punch).

Instructions: Assembling the Project

1. For the inner covers (2) and back cover, quickly and easily use the Stampin' Up! Spiral Punch on one of the long sides and then adhere using SNAIL adhesive.
2. For the front cover, first adhere the River Rock designer series paper (DSP) to the Ruby Red striped DSP. Use the Spiral punch all the way down the long side.
3. Adhere the floral DSP and Blush Blossom cardstock together.
4. Then adhere them to the others (unpunched).
5. Then, using the Rectangle Handheld Punch (since the Spiral cannot go through this depth), punch holes where the spiral will be. Notice in the picture, you cannot really tell.
6. Now, adhere all the pieces (which are now adhered together and punched) to the font cover using SNAIL adhesive.
7. Lastly, tie a ribbon around the middle to "close" the journal (use SNAIL adhesive if desired to hold ribbon in place).

Instructions: Adhering the Flowers

1. Lastly, using a Blush Blossom refill ink, ink the small flower from the Pretties Kit.
2. For the large flower, use the stick from the Rub-on or other popsicle stick (or other source) and rub Groovy Guava ink in the middle of the flower petals. Then rub Ruby Red towards the middle up toward the edges of all the petals. Then use the Blush Blossom refill ink on the rest of the large flower.
3. Allow all flowers to dry completely.
4. Then assemble all the flowers with a clear brad through the middle (from the Pretties Kit).
5. Adhere to the cover using Pop-Up dots.
6. Adhere the punched flowers from DSP to the cover using Stampin' Dimensionals.

This is a picture of the finished FAMILY Chipboard Album project we did over this past weekend, June 7th, as a Father's Day Project (however it can be used for many occasions).

• Simply Scrappin' Kit - Home Again (Item #109597, $19.95)

To Place an Order:

Please contact me at handstampedbyheather@att.net
if you do not already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator or
if you are one of my existing customers. Thank you.

Or Purchase the Kit instead!

The Kit includes all the materials needed to complete this project (ribbon, brads, rhinestone brads, hodgepodge hardware, and more). The kit allows you to have all the supplies needed for the project at a fraction of the price! For example, instead of purchasing a container of brads, only the number of brads needed for the project would be sent to you. All paper is precut, punched. The only thing you will need to do is trace all the letters and cut them, and then when it is finished to set the eyelets for the binding. The eyelets of course are included in the kit.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me (heather@handstampedbyheather.com)!

Other Accessories

• I had forgotten to purchase enough eyelets for all my customers so there would be 3 on every letter, so I bought them at Michael's for this project ($2.49). However, I would buy them from Stampin' Up! from now on (Jumbo Eyelets - Item #108431, $9.95).

• The Chipboard Albums are from Bo Bunny and can be purchased at many online stores. I use the following (I paid $6.29 from Generations Crafting for this project):

1. Place Sky Blue cardstock, 4x4 or 3.75x3.75, on the inside of the card front with dimensionals. This way, the dimension of the die cut will still be shown but you won't see straight through to the greeting written on the inside. I left it alone so you could see the full effect of the die cut (so you see the grid paper through my sample above).
2. Use Flower Fusion or Pretties Kit flowers with a Rhinestone Brad in the center of the die cut flower.

• I traced the die cut flower shape on scrap paper.
• Cut out the image from the scrap paper but a little larger than the traced image.
• I also used a 2nd piece of scrap paper (the tan pieces you see in the image above), because I didn't want the background image to go past a certain area of the card.
• I then inked the background image in Sky Blue and stamped on the card front. Notice the ink that gets on the 2 pieces of scrap (that is not, therefore, on the card front due to the "masking").
• See the next, later post to see how the sample develops.

This card was specifically designed for a kids craft. I used Stampin' Up!'s watercolor pencils to "color" this card. Children, however, not old enough to use watercoloring pencils may instead use crayons and it looks just as good!

Stamps

• Along the Shore (retired) - can substitute with Winds of Grace , Seaside, or On The Fly
  

Paper

• Basic Gray
• Brocade Blue
• Watercolor paper (can substitute for Very Vanilla)

• Basic Gray (or can use Basic Black or Staz-On Black)
  

Stampin' Up! Accessories

• Watercolor Pencils
• Blender Pen
• SNAIL Adhesive

1. Stamp images of beach scene in Basic Gray. Since we're using watercoloring, let this set for a minute or so before using blender pens. For immediate coloring, use Staz-On Black.
2. Use watercolor pencils to color image. I used greens and browns for the grass, brown and gray on the chair, gray and blue for the birds, blue for the clouds. Kids can use regular crayons for coloring.
3. Then I used a light brown for sand and blue for sky/water and used the blender pen. This may or may not be desired with children making the card. Again, regular crayons can be used instead or watercoloring.
4. Use SNAIL adhesive glue to assemble the card layers.

• Love & Happiness Rub-ons (in Brown)
• Dazzling Diamonds
• Two-way glue pen

My Instructions

1. Determine what Designer Series Paper you would like to use. I used the Afternoon Tea (from the Occasions Mini Catalog).
2. Use the 1 3/8" Circle Punch. Punch 5 Circles (3 to be used for the main flower, and 1 for eac of the smaller flowers).
3. Fold the circles in half one way, then again in half the other way (not folding the top so much so there is only a significant crease on the bottom half).
4. In my example, I wanted the pattern with the Sky Blue and Chocolate Chip, small roses(almost looks like wallpaper), to be the "main" part of the Dahlia flower.
5. Therefore, with a given circle, put the peach floral pattern facing up. Then fold up sides of the bottom portion of the circle only.
6. Then flip over the circle. Now Sky Blue and Chocolate Chip (wallpaper-like) pattern is showing. Now, bend over the sides to meet the center of the flower - you will now see the mini folds you just did come to the front.
7. Do this for all the circle, all the buds.
8. I used a mini-glue dot to hold it together/closed.
9. To finish the card, I used rub-ons (floral) from Love & Happiness rub-ons, in brown.
10. I used the two-way glue pen to add glitter to the card and the flower buds.
11. I also used rub-ons in white on the Chocolate Chip envelope.

NOTE: You could also use the Dahlia technique with green cardstock as a bud base for the flowers (as in the sample from Split Coast Stampers).
