T.N.T. Thursday

Especially for You Pocket Slider Card

Today's tutorial  is one that can be used for any occasion just by changing the papers, embellishments and sentiment. This particular one is used as a card, but you could add a cocoa or hot cider packet, or even small Ghirardelli square with a glue dot. So cute!

Instructions

Cut a piece of  Real Red card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"

Score it in landscape position at 1/2" and 4 1/2"

.

Run a piece of Sticky Strip down the edge of the  4 1/2" side. 

Fold over making sure to seal the edge.

Using More Amour DSP, cut a strip 2 1/2" X 8 1/2" for the belly band.

Wrap the band around the main piece, making sure that the ends meet 

in the middle at the back overlapping slightly. Lightly score the edges. This band should be tight, but be able to be  sliped off the main card. Run either a line of  Mono liquid adhesive or 

 Snail down the open edge and seal.

 Stamp the Especially for You sentiment on the lower right corner in black Ink.

  For the inside of the slider, cut a piece of Whisper White CS, 3 3/4" X 5 1/4". Cut a coordinating piece of DSP 3 1/2" X 3 1/2" and adhere to the top half. You can add a sentiment on the bottom half or use the packets or candy to complete it.

To make a hole on both sides of the packet for the ribbon to be inserted. I used one of the Itty Bitty Punch pack punches for this hole.

Cut a piece of coordinating ribbon approximately 16" long. I used the Pool Party ribbon from the Sycamore Ribbon and Button Pack I received free for my $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Place the ribbon through the both holes making sure the ends are even. Slip the card between the ribbon and push card into the packet holder and tie a simple bow. The card will have the ribbon on either side so it can be pulled out using the ribbon as shown in the photo below.

 

I stamped 4 hearts with the Hearts a Flutter stamp and matching die to decorate the band.   

Pool Party and Real Red ink and CS were used on this to coordinate with the DSP.

Assemble the hearts on the front of the band and add  rhinestones to the middle of the solid hearts and to the letter "I" on the sentiment.

I hope you enjoy making this versatile packet and have a CRAFTY week.

Thank You

The last of my cards using the Feeling Sentimental stamp set received free. I used the "rock & roll" technique on the Ferris wheel image. It just needed more then the Crumb Cake and I wanted to tie it into the Tangerine Tango.

T.N.T. Thursday

  

Today is the day! This is my first tutorial! I decided on this cute little tea bag holder/card inspired by Linda Heller over at Stamping School. ENJOY!

Cut a piece of Primrose Petals CS  3 1/2" by10 1/2 ". Place it in the landscape position on your score board and score at 3 1/2" x 7".

                                                                                      

Place the upper right hand corner on your paper cutter and cut from the top

just down to the scored line.

 

This is what your cut should look like. Add a piece of Sticky Strip to 

the bottom straight edge.

  Fold over and press to set. This will make the pocket for the tea bag.

Now you are ready to embellish the inside.The fun part! Punch one 1 3/4" Scallop from the Tea for Two DSP,  and one 1 1/2 " Circle from Primrose Petals. Using the 7/8 Scallop, punch a flower from the DSP. I added paper piercing to the solid circle for some interest. Adhere pieces with Snail Adhesive. Add a Stampin' dimensional to the scalloped flower and place this in the center of the pierced circle. Put Snail on the right half of the assembled piece and position it to the right side of the holder. Insert your tea bag. 

                        Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". I chose a sentiment from
                                          Thoughts and Prayers inked Lucky Limeade.

To keep the holder closed, cut a one piece of Primrose Petals stitched ribbon at 15". Wrap the ribbon evenly around the center of  the holder. Place some adhesive under the ribbon on back and front to keep it in place. Tie it into a simple bow, trim ends.

Layer a 3x3 piece of Lucky Limeade CS with a 2 3/4 "x 2 3/4" DSP  and adhere it to the front.

To finish this little card/holder,  I stamped the Four Frames in Primrose Petals ink and punched it with the matching Decorative Labels Punch . Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment inked in Lucky Limeade finishes it up. Place a dimensional to the back and center it on the front. Also added was a small flower from DSP punched with the Itty Bitty Punch pack and Pearl Basic Jewel.

This card measures 3 1/2 " square so it will not fit in a 3x3 envelope. No problem. I used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool with the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate to create a matching envelope  measuring 3 3/4" x 3 3/4". This card will not be able to mailed in this size envelope, but can be placed inside a A2  and adding extra postage.

I hope you try this cute little Tea Bag holder for T.N.T. Thursday. Have fun, be creative and I would love to hear your opinions on my first tutorial.

Blowing Wishes

Today I finished up a card that I'm linking to the Retro Sketch Blog. I think it is a little more then retro, but I really liked the layout and thought this stamp set would work. I made this card for my oldest grandson who loves yellow. Since he lives on the East Coast and I'm on the West Coast, I thought the sentiment was perfect.
