Scenic Coast Retirement Card

Posted on by

As we wind down the month of August I thought I’d share a lovely retirement card with you made with the Sunset Coast Stamp Set (167775).

This card uses the Book Binding fold creating a fun twist with just a simple score line and some adhesive. The card base is 4 1/4″ x 11″ and the card base is scored at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″. Folded in half and then adhesive is added between the 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″ mark and adhered down to create the book binding.

Simple stamping was used for the focal point and this set is great to create scenes with like this since it contains all kinds of fun 2 step images. A strip of the Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (167773) and some twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) adds a bit more interest and enhances the nautical feel.

This stamp set contains a lovely font and wonderful sentiments to create with.

Silly Safari Gate Fold Pop Up Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today I’ve got another fun Pop Up Card tutorial for you – this bright and bold birthday card uses the fun little stamp set that is one of my favorites, Silly Safari Stamp set (169087).

It’s filled with fun little zoo animals and fun sentiments – it also comes in a money saving bundle that includes a circle punch making it super easy to use when you start out stamping.

My daughter is a huge zoo fan and we love to see different zoos when we travel, so I knew this would be a hit with her. How about you have a zoo fan in your family?

This Gate Fold Card shows off the Two Tone Card stock that is currently on Sale during August. This Card stock is a slightly lighter weight than our regular card stock AND highlights two tones of the same color which is nice too.

I’ve used the bold stripes and polka dots featured in the Brights Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper (167754) on sale too which makes it a great time to pick some up.

When you open the card you’ve got all these fun little animals smiling at you!

Here is a quick video tutorial and PDF so that you can make this fun little card too.
