Miss You Valentine

Hello Friends 

It is Pam creating with you today! 

I have another Valentine to share.  I usually send out Valentines to family and a couple of close friends.  So I am just finishing up with a few more.  The one I am showing you today is featuring the Garden Window die from the Black Friday release and an older die Parlor Table & Chairs.  The card is a little larger in size then my typical A2.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a white card base measuring when folded 4 1/2 x 6 1/2, designer paper 4 3/8 x 5 3/8 gray card stock 1 1/2 x 4 3/8 and a white strip 4 3/8 x 1/4

2.  Glue down the designer paper then add gray at the bottom (I ran the gray through a cover plate to get the added texture) last glue down the little white strip

• Using the Garden Window die and the Parlor Table and Chairs cut them out of black card stock.
• Using the Garden Window die cut out the cat in gray.  
• Using the Hanging Pots die cut out the pot in red and the plant in green.  
• Cut pink card stock for the curtains using the Spring Window with Peekers.  
• And the last piece is the little envelope which I cut in white with some red hearts the die I used was the Love Letters die.  
• All the dies I used are still available

4.  Cut a piece of blue card stock for behind the window.  Glue the blue to the back of the window.  Place the curtains in the window.  To make them fit I cut them in the middle and you will also notice they are short so I made a little valence which I ran through my crimping tool

5.  Glue the window to the card front placement as shown above.  Place the cat in the window 

6.  Add the table and chairs as shown above

7.  Add the plant and letter to the table and three little hearts to the valence.  Last place your sentiment and your card is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by!  And I will see you next Thursday.

Last Minute Little Gift

 Hello Friends

I am using our new releases dies from Black Friday to create a last minute gift for a sweet friend.  She is like me and spends a lot of time at her craft desk. So I thought this little easel card calendar would be cute sitting on her desk. 

For my project I have used several of the new collection dies: Greenhouse, Hanging Plants, Wildflowers and Sentiment Thinking of You (the little flowers).

Design Steps: 

1.  Start by cutting all of pieces using the following dies and card stock: Greenhouse pink, black, silver and light green.  Sentiment Thinking of You yellow and pink.  Hanging Plants brown, green and dark green.  Wildflower purple and green.  Slimline Grass light green

2.  For the base cut a piece of card stock 8 1/2 x 5.  Fold in half and then fold the front flap in half again.  

This will create the base for your easel card.  Cut a piece of white card stock  5 x 4.  This will be the easel panel

3.  Use the piece of 5 x 4 white card stock and ink the background blue.  Glue down the grass at the bottom and making sure not to glue the top of the grass so you can slide in the greenhouse

4.  Glue the black greenhouse frame and then add the pink pieces

5.  Add the rest of you greenhouse plants as shown.  Place the shovel and watering can outside of the greenhouse as shown above.  I placed my entire panel onto a scalloped black retangle for stablitiy and just to make it pop a little more

6.  Place glue on the flap as shown above and then place the greenhouse panel on top of the panel only  glueing down the bottom portion of the greenhouse panel

7.  You card should look like the picture above.  Add some pearls, black rhinestones and silver gems to spice up your little greenhouse

8. For the background on the bottom piece cut out a piece of black polka dot paper 4 7/8 x 4 1/8.  Glue the paper down.  To create the stop for the easel you will use the little mini calendar
