Simple and Quick Masculine Tag

I just couldn't resist. I had the By the Tide set still on my mind 

from using it the other day for my TNT Thursday and knew 

I had to create something else with it. 

A tag came to mind when I was flipping through the new catalog and

saw that tags were certainly highlighted.

This is a simple and quick project and all the products used are going to be still available in the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog. 

I am giving you a sneak peak of two NEW items.

Artisan Label - 130920

 Label Love - 130622

I  just love the shape of that punch, don't you?

Sneak Peek and MOJO Monday

The purpose of my card today is twofold. The first being to give you a 

Sneak Peek of some of the new products that will be in place in 

the NEW Stampin' UP! 2013-2014 Annual Catalog come June 1st.

The other, this is the card I am linking to the MOJO Monday Blog.

 

This card was a little bit of a challenge for me.

Although, it seems that most of the sketches from Mojo Monday are! They tend to stretch my creativity, which is a good thing.

Working with new papers, stamps and punches added to that. 

I hope I did the sketch and products them some justice.

TNT Thursday

FUN TRI-FOLD CARD

For my tutorial today I will be showing another folded card 

which was inspired by Linda Heller and Connie Stewart. 

**I realized after I had posted this yesterday to go live this morning, that I missed named the project. It is just a tri-fold , not an offset tri-fold!**

Let's get started

1. Cut the base pieces of the card. 

You will need 1 - 5 1/2" x 41/4" piece of CS / 1 - 5 x 8" piece of CS

2 - 1 3/4" x 4 3/4" pieces of DSP

3 - 1 1/4" x 3" pieces of CS for layering

3 - 1 x 2 3/4" pieces of CS for your stamped images 

** The solid Crumb Cake CS is not shown. 

I forgot to put it with the paper when I was photographing it!

2. Score the 5x 8 piece at 2" and 6", fold and score.

3. Adhere DSP centering it to the front of card. Stamp your inside sentiment. When that is complete, take the folded card and center 

that onto your 5 1/5" x 4 1/4" solid card stock.

4. Layer

 your stamped images.

5. Cut a 6" length of ribbon, I used the 7/8" Natural Ribbon. 

Fold it in half holding it together with a Glue Dot. Add another Glue Dot and adhere to the back of each stamped image. Place a Stampin' Dimensionals on either side of the ribbon and on the edge of one side as shown.  

This is the unit that will make up the Offset Tri Fun Fold.

6. Place each section to the front of the card staggering them 

as shown on the completed card below.

Thank you for stopping by. Why not give this a try an let me know how you did. Just enter a comment here on MY BLOG. Have a wonderful and CRAFTY day!
