I sure would love to have lots words in this font. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
This is going to be a quick blog post! It is a beautiful bright sunny day, one of those days that makes you remember why you live here and put up with all the rain. I'm itching to go out and enjoy the sunshine BUT before I do I promised myself I would get at least half of my taxes done. I know that was a crazy promise to make! Note to self, check the weather report next time I plan an indoor activty. So, I am really just stopping by to say "Hi", just like my card!

Here is the Weekly Deal for February 25 -March 3!
If you look on the left hand side of the blog, you will see a list of categories. Look way down and you will see one for Stamp Set Backyard Basics. If you click on it, it will bring up all the posts I labelled with that name. The samples show both the stamp set and the framelit. The framelit is on the Weekly Deal for this week. Here's one from the archives!
Thought I would start another feature here on As the Ink Dries called "Since You Asked". I get emails and comments asking how I made something and here's where I will try and answer your questions. Today we have more on the Pocket Card I shared here.
I am using another of the papers from the Sweet Sorbet DSP, which I think is just a gorgeous set of papers and highly recommend it as one of your Sale-A-Bration choices. This is the card we will be making.
Here are the supplies I will be using.
1. Cut a 4" x 9" piece of DSP. Score at 4-1/4", 8-1/2".
2. Turn the DSP so the pattern you want to be on the inside of the pocket is facing you. Fold the 1/2" tab so it is facing you. Run SNAIL adhesive along the tab. Run SNAIL adhesive along the bottom edge of the pocket from the edge of the tab to the fold. Seal up the pocket.
3. Cut a piece of coordinating DSP and Basic Black card stock 2" x 4-1/4". Place the Adorning Accents Edgelit as shown in the picture below and run through the Big Shot. I was able to cut both of them at the same time. Hmmm, maybe it is time for some new cutting plates.
4. Layer the cut pieces as shown below and attach it to the front of the pocket. The top of the edge should not be higher than 4-3/4" . You can change the height of this depending on how much you want the inner card to show.
Don't worry I will hide this crooked edge with some ribbon.
5. Stamp the flower in Crisp Cantaloupe ink and stamp the sentiment in Black ink. Punch out using the 1-3/4" circle punch. Cut a circle using the Circles Collection Framelits out of a coordinating piece of DSP. Cut out the doily in Basic Black card stock and layer. Wrap the White Organza ribbon around the seam and attach the doily.
6. Cut a piece of Basic Black card stock 4-1/8" x 5" and a Whisper White piece 3-7/8" x 4-3/4. Layer the white onto the Basic Black piece. Punch out 3 flowers using coordinating DSP and attach it as shown below.
I hope this will help you make your own pocket cards. They are fun to make and you can change up how they look by using different edgelits, DSP, punches, dies, you get the idea. Hope you get some time today to stamp. If you need any supplies to make your own pocket cards you can shop on my online store. I would be happy to be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.
I love all the new kits that Stampin' Up! offers especially if they are FREE. Yes, I am talking about the Good as Gold card kit available as a free gift during Sale-A-Bration. In this kit you get everything you need to make 8 cards and all you have to have is adhesive. I love the gold foil envelope liners, the little banners in different languages makes me very happy, and don't get me started on the cute card base with all the little dots even gold foil ones. Yes, it is a fun little kit .
Today I am going to make a pocket card using the items in the Good as Gold card kit and the following:
Step 1. Cut the Good as Gold card base so it measures 3-3/4" x 7".
Step 2. Cut a 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" strip from the gold foil envelope liner. If you cut it from the bottom of the envelope liner you can still use the top to line your envelope. Use the Large Scallop Edgelit to cut your gold foil.
Step 3. Attach the gold scallop to the top front edge of the card base. Now be careful, the highest part of your scallop cannot be more than 4-1/2". This is where the Grid paper really comes in handy.
Step 4. Now you are ready to glue. Apply a thin line of glue along the side and bottom of the card to form a pocket. Try and stay as close to the edge as possible. If you glue too far in the card insert may need to be trimmed.
Step 5. Now it is time to decorate. I used 2 of the narrow banners to cover up the seam between the scallop and the card.
Step 5. Wrap the twine around the card and tie a bow. Attach your word banner of choice with Stampin' Dimensionals to the right side of the card covering the ends of the colored banners. Attach one of the gold stars to the upper left hand side of the Whisper White card stock and stamp the sentiment. Layer it on to the Bermuda Bay card stock. This is the card insert for your pocket.
Hope you enjoyed this Fun Fold Friday. Remember the Good as Gold card kit is free as a gift during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 order. You can see the Sale-A-Bration brochure when you click the link that says "Promotion" right below the blog banner. If you would like your own copy and do not have a Stampin' Up demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to send you one.
I haven't made one of these pocket cards in quite a while and since I adore the Sweet Sorbet DSP I thought it was time.
I used the Adorning Accents Edgelits to create the off centered edge on the pocket. Once in a while its fun to be asymmetrical.
Thanks for stopping by and yes, I think you're lovely.
Did you enjoy the Go for the Gold Blog Hop? I hope so. There were a lot of ideas on ways to Go for the Gold! Today I want to share some silver since SU also has some beautiful silvery products.
Supplies Used:
Today is the start of some new Weekly Deals.
Yes, there is even silver on this week's deal!
Today there's also some new items being placed in the Clearance Rack. You can go to my online store and check out the new additions to the Clearance Rack.
Isn't this exciting? The first Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! You probably have arrived here after visiting BJ Peters and if not you, need to be sure to complete the entire tour and see her beautiful project. Are you ready for more gold?
I used almost every gold item Stampin' Up! sells. I know I missed a few but I certainly gave it a try.
Next stop on the Stampers Dozen blog hop is France Martin. Enjoy the blog hop and come back and visit again soon!
Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you have some fun plans to celebrate the day.
Did you know that a gift card fits in a Sweetheart Treat bag?
It is a perfect fit!
Here are all the supplies I used to make this card:
Be sure to check back later tonight or for sure tomorrow, I have a little surprise for you. Consider it a belated Valentines!
Made this field of flowers for a fun Demonstrator event. Notice the grass around the field? Yes, it was made with the Fringe Scissors located on page 31 of the Occasions Catalog.
I used the Spiral Flower Originals die in the Occasions Catalog. It is a liitle hard to find and is located at the top left side of page 32.
This was a fun little project to make and it really went pretty quickly once I got the hang of it. If you are wondering where I go that cute little Happy Stampin' from. It is a demonstrator only stamp set. Yes, another perk of being a demonstrator. Sale-A-Bration is a particularly good time to check into the Stampin; Up! opportunity. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
