Pop-Up Card!

My card clubs had so much fun creating this Pop-Up Card! On this card I stepped out of my comfort zone of pinks, purples and yellows (I am prone to do "girly" projects) and used colors that could be versitale.

What's fun about this card is that it will fold up flat so you can send it in an envelope!

*Check back tomorrow if you would like to see a tutorial on how to make this Pop-Up Card!

Stamp Set: Grunge Rock

Ink: Basic Gray, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake

Paper: Basic Gray, Very Vanilla, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler

Extras: 1/4" Night of Navy Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/8" Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon, Round Tab Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Sticky Strip

I loved the idea of making picture frames out of the Designer Series Paper. Did I mention how much I love the Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper?!!

I only adhered the frames on three sides so you would be able to slide your picture underneath.

Stamp Sets: Friends Never Fade, Wonderful Favorites
Ink: Versa Mark, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Greenhouse Gala DSP, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz
Extras: Small Oval Punch, Silver, Pewter & Antique Brass Brads

As much as I would love to take the credit for this idea, I can't! I got this idea from another demonstrator, I am so sorry, I didn't write her name down. Thank you for the cute idea!

I saw this beautiful card idea on someone's blog, I am so sorry I did not make a note of whose blog :( I changed the colors up a bit.

Spring is here!

I love this white picket fence!

This look was created using the Medium Jewelry Tag punch, which is in the Occasions Mini Catalog (last month to purchase from this catalog). Butterflies are from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and of course I had to use the Perfect Polka Dot Impressions Folder! Both are available in the Occasions Mini.

If you would like to purchase any of these products email me at miketracifaust@comcast.net

You could also use this same idea on a spring scrapbook page!

Use the Scallop Circle #2 die and add dots in the scallops with a White Gel Pen and you could journal or add a photo on it.

Fancy Favor Bag with Tissue Tutorial

After using the Big Shot & Fancy Favor bigz xl die, score on dotted lines, then place on sticky strip. Hint: If you are going to do any stamping do it before you fold the box together! Adhere box.

Cut (2) 1 1/2" x 12" pieces of Designer Series Paper. Place sticky strip on the side you want facing out. This is for your "tissue paper"!

Adhere first strip to the inside of the fancy favor, starting on one of the sides of the favor bag. Sticky strip should be just below the top of the bag. Hint: before you adhere the Designer Series Paper decide which part of the DSP you want to be in the front!

As you make the "tissue paper" you want to pinch the paper where the sticky strip is adhering to the favor bag. The top of the "tissue paper" should be soft ripples.

This is your first strip finished. Notice they are not even, this does not have to be perfect. Now start your second strip where your first one ended and continue to where the first strip started.

Next decorate your Fancy Favor Bag!

How perfect for a party favor!

Sponging the edges makes such a difference!
