Happy Birthday / MOJO415

Today I played along with the MOJO#415 sketch challenge.  I was in need of a Birthday card for my granddaughter, and thought this was such a great sketch for a feminine card. I really love the Bermuda Bay, Black and crisp white together. What do you think?

I'm hoping to use this sketch again soon. Linda over at stampingschool used it as a gift card holder, so cute. I'm looking forward CASEing  it.

Have a wonderful Tuesday and go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

The Open Sea Waterfall Card

 

My card today is a fun, interactive card that I had never created before. I believe it has been around for at least 7 or 8 years. Gads! I need to get with it and get out of my comfort zone...

Linda over at stampingschool.com encouraged us to try one if we hadn't before. With trepidation,I took her challenge, and created this one.

Although, it took me more time to choose the stamps and colors then actually putting this card together! 

Here is a closer look at the layers:

 Linda had covered her brads with 1" circles, but since I had earmarked this card for a family members birthday, adding a 2"x4" strip across the back , and only adding sticky strip along the short sides and the bottom, I'm able to slip a check at the back.

Stay CRAFTY!

Masculine Birthday Card

I decided to play along with Fab Friday this week.

I was inspired not only, by sketch, but by the beautiful

 examples by the design team.

Having 3 sons and 3 son-in-laws, masculine cards are always needed.

I had this Lovely as a Tree stamp sitting on my desk and had been wanting to use it. I felt this sketch was just perfect for it.

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!

5 Minute Inspiration

This card was inspired by a card that I saw in the 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! catalog.

I loved the simplicity of it and I feel that it can be used for a male or female birthday card. It actually  took me approximately 5 minutes to cut the paper, stamp the image and put it together.

Couldn't ask for anything better!
