HUNGER GAMES!!!

My downline, Jennifer and I went to see HUNGER GAMES yesterday! AWESOME!!! She got me all 3 books for my birthday...

...as well as made me this FANTASTIC memo board!!

Can you say SPOILED??? *wink*

We both read the first book of the series, and decided we HAD to see the movie! She won FREE TICKETS for the movie matinee the day before we went! WOOHOO!!!

So, I figured I needed something for her. I scanned the internet for some HUNGER GAMES graphics and here is what I gave her as we waited for the movie to start....

The card...

Inside of card:

Everything on front was popped up with dimensionals.

Hope you get to do something fun, wherever YOU are!

Fun FOLD Card tips!

Q: I’ve seen some cards with fancy folds made using the Labels Framelits. How do you do that?

A: The new Hearts and Labels Framelits Dies for the Big Shot have been a huge hit! There are so many great ways to use them, besides the obvious layered frames. You can use them to cut edges of cards into shapes, make window cards, make cards with fancy folds, and so much more! One of my favorite fancy folds cards is a Z-Fold card. It’s extra fun because of a cut with the Label Framelits that makes the main image flip to the inside when you open the card!

Here’s how you can make this fun Z-Fold Flip card:

Step 1: Cut a piece of 8-1/2” card stock in half to get a 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” card body. Score at 4-1/4” along the 8-1/2” side to create the folded card. Next, fold the front of the card in half. You can do this by folding the edge of the card back towards the fold of the card or by scoring first at 2-1/8” and then folding the edge of the card back towards the fold of the card.

Step 2: Turn the Multipurpose Platform to Tab 2 and place it onto the Big Shot with a Cutting Pad on it. Unfold the card body you previously scored. Place a Label Framelits (the 3rd largest works well) centered over the fold on the card front. Place the top Cutting Pad only over half of the Label Framelit so the Cutting Pad edge is lined up with the fold line on the center of the card front. Carefully hold the sandwich in place and run through the Big Shot. Only the part of the Framelit with the Cutting Pad over it will be cut.

Step 3: Fold the card and decorate the Framelits section with other Framelits layers and stamped images. When the card is opened, the image flips to the inside of the card. Use Texture Impressions Embossing Folders to add embossing to cut Framelits for even more detail and interest!

Have fun experimenting with this great Z-Fold Flip card using the Framelits Hearts Collection, too!

DID YOU KNOW???

You can use the Bird Punch, #117191 , to punch out the cup handle on the large cup from the TEA SHOPPE stamp set, #125547 ? Use the wing part. Cool, huh?

TOOL TIP: Punching Vellum
Trying to insert vellum into a punch that has a lot of detail can be exasperating! Here is a simple trick that will make it so easy for you!

Supplies:
Stamp Set: #125537 Mixed Bunch
Cardstock: #101856 Card Stock Vellum (20 shts), #100730 Whisper White card stock
Ink: #101731 White Craft Pad
Accessories: #125603 Blossom Punch, #109132 White Embossing Powder, #100005 Heat Tool

Directions:

1. Insert a piece of card stock into the Blossom Punch (about 3 1/2"x 4 1/4")
2. Ink the stamp image with white craft ink and stamp it onto the card stock vellum.
4 Add white embossing powder, and emboss.
5. Slide the embossed vellum into the punch over the white card stock.
6. Pull out the white card stock & punch the vellum piece.

TECHNIQUE: Lined Envelopes

An envelope is the first thing the recipient of your handmade card sees. Besides stamping on the envelope, have you ever thought about jazzing up your envelopes by lining the inside with Designer Series Paper? Here's an easy techniques that will add just a little more of that special touch.

Supplies Used for this Project:

PAPER: Medium Whisper White Envelope #107301
Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paper #122350
MISC: 2-Way Glue Pen #100425, Paper Snips #103579, Designer Sanding
Blocks #124304

Directions:

1. Cut a 5-11/16" x 4" piece of Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paper. I tried 5-3/4" and 5-5/8" and neither one of those worked as well.
2. Using a 2-Way Glue Pen, add some glue to the inside edge of the envelope flap.
3. Carefully slide the piece of the Berry Blossoms Designer Sereis Paper into the envelope, just enough to cover up the edge. It doesn't need to go all the way down the inside of the envelope. Make sure you have a little overlap on the flap.

4. When the glue dries trim off the excess on the flap. If you don't trim it perfectly, you can take a Designer Sanding Block to finish off the edge.

These are so easy and fast, make a bunch and you'll have them ready to go.

Birthday Card for my friend...

My friend, Ruthie, had a birthday March 30. She and some friends came over the mountain for my scrapbook class Saturday, so, I gave her the gifts and card I had for her.

I am very happy with the way this turned out.

I LOVE the stamp set, Apothecary Art #125527. It goes GREAT with Framelit Dies #125598, for the Big Shot # 113439! I played with my Stampin' Up! markers and colored the image in. I was intimadated by that image, but, it is actually very easy to fill in with color, takes very little time to have a beautiful creation! I LOVE the pleated ribbon #125406, too! It really dressed the card up.

I ran the Wisteria Wonder Cardstock #122922 through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder #120175---I also ran the flap of the envelope through, what an impressive way to dress up the envelope! I destressed all edges of everything with Soft Suede ink #115657, my destress color of choice! I finished it off with a few rhinestones on the image, which was popped up with dimensionals. LOVE this card! I didn't get a picture of the inside before I gave it to her, though, RATS!

Leave me a comment if you liked this card! I'd love to hear from you.
