Botanical Builders + Perfect Pairings Birthday Card

I love this clean and simple card. The Botanical Builder framelits include this great leafy border thinlit, which looks great cut from designer paper or just cardstock. The framelit set includes 13 other leaves and flowers to combine in hundreds of ways to make cards for any occasion. This is the second card of three designs for my February Stamp of the Month Club kit featuring Botanical Blooms.

Picture Perfect Cut Apart Card + Stampin' Up! Video

Many thanks to Cheryl for hosting a Stampin' Up! party with me this week. I designed this card for her party. It's similar to the "Cut Apart Card" that I posted last week, but I did not use the "middle" piece that I cut off the card. 

Here are the cutting measurements for this card:

• 4-1/4" x 7-1/4" (scored at 5-1/2") Pool Party cardstock
• 4-1/4" x 2" Pool Party cardstock
• 4" x 1-1/2" Designer Paper
• 4" x 1-3/4" Designer Paper
• 3-1/2" x 5" THICK Whisper White Cardstock (die cut with Labels Framelits)
• Metallics Glitter Tape (Gold)

Isn't the hummingbird gorgeous!?! If you haven't noticed the Picture Perfect stamp set in the Occasions Catalog, you'll definitely want to take a look! This "2-Step" photopolymer stamp set deserves much more attention than it's been getting. Check out this video from Stampin' Up!:

I absolutely LOVE the new Metallics Glitter Tape! I used the gold tape on this card. It is one of three that come in the package you can get for FREE when you place an order of $50 or more during Sale-a-bration (ends March 31, 2016).

Pocket Sketch Challenge #10: Guy Greetings Card

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the last Pocket Sketch Challenge! Congratulations to Pocket Sketch Challenge #9 Winner libbystamps! Did you see her adorable peek-a-boo chick card? It is so clever and adorable! Libby will receive the Pocket Full of Sketches #2 book for free!

It's time for another chance to win! I have a new sketch and a new challenge for you this week. This layout is great for small images. I used the shoes from the Guy Greetings stamp set to create this masculine card. I often pull my color combinations from designer paper. For this card, I picked Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla.

 

Here's the sketch! I can't wait to see what you create with this card layout!

You can use the layout to inspire you, but if you would like the convenience to using the same cutting measurements that I did, you'll need the following pieces (colors refer to my card above for reference):

• 4-1/4" x 11" Chocolate Chip cardstock
• 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" Very Vanilla cardstock
• 1-1/2" x 5" Designer Paper
• 1-3/8" Circle Punch
• 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch

Now it's your turn! Create a card or project inspired by this layout and add a direct link to your post below. Be sure to share my sketch challenge graphic and link back to this post so your friends know how to play along too! Link up by next Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at 11:55 pm. I'll select my favorite entry and that person will win a free copy of the Pocket Full of Sketches #2 book!

VIDEO: Cut Apart Card Tutorial with Sale-a-Bration Honeycomb Happiness

This card is so much fun and it's so easy! I'm not sure what to call it. I was inspired by this card I found on SplitcoastStampers.com, but didn't write down the measurements, so my measurements are a little different from the ones that D. Daisy used. Since you cut apart the front of the card and then put it back together again, I decided to call it the Cut Apart Card. I guess you could call it the Humpty Dumpty card since you put it back together again! {chuckle}

I made one with the Flowering Fields stamp set for the Control Freaks blog tour (see it here), and I created this one with the balloon for my stamp club this week. I picked the balloon for the Global Design Project Challenge #23.

Check out my video tutorial to learn how to cut apart the cardstock to create this card. It's super simple and I know you'll want to make it again and again. Switch up the designer paper and stamps to create cards for all kinds of occasions!
