Splitcoaststampers April Fools Virtual Stamping Night

I am hostessing a challenge for the Splitcoaststampers April Fools Virtual Stamping Night.

 My challenge is to make a Gate Fold Latch Card.

I love making these.  First, I made a gate fold card by cutting a 11 x 8 1/2" and scoring at 2 3/4 and 8 1/4 along the long side. Just fold it up and it makes a gate fold card. Next, I cut a piece of pattern paper from Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 and adhered to the bottom of the card front.  Next I used SugarPea Designs SugarCut - Zig Zag Stitched Circles to cut out my two circles die cutting through two pieces of paper for each, the frame and the inner circle.  It did not cut through both pieces of cardstock, so I separated them and ran the second through alone to cut all the way through.  I adhered the two frames and inners together to make one of each. This makes the latch more durable when opening and closing. 

I drew a line on the white circle panel
then masked off the line with painters tape and sponged a little bit of a background using Ranger Distress Oxide Broken China and Mini Ink Blending Tool.  Then I used Lawn Fawn's Hoppy Easter Stamp Set and Hoppy Easter Lawn Cuts to stamp and die cut my bunny and five carrots.  I used Copics: C0, C1, C3, W1, W3, W5, YR02, YR04, YR07, YG21, YG23, YG25, R20, R22 to color them up and pop them up on my card using foam dots.

Here comes the latch part.

To make the latch, I took the circle frame centered it and attached it to my card front using foam tape ONLY ON THE TOP HALF.  Then I took my center circle and attached it with foam tape ONLY ON THE BOTTOM HALF.  That makes the latch. To open you gently squeeze the ends to loosen the latch.

FS423 - Chitra's Note



It's been a couple weeks since I have played in the

Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoaststampers

Congratulations Chitra Nair aka Chitra.

 I love playing in the Featured Stamper Challenge.

Its so fun to spotlight a stamper and be inspired by their creations.  I was inspired by THIS card of Chitra's.  My Differences: sentiment, stamp set, flight path

 I used this fun set from SugarPea Design's January release, Special Delivery.

I stamped my paper airplane, then the flight path in a light gray then lined up the sentiment.

I was also inspired by Chitra to make a whole set like she did.

These will be nice to have on hand or give as a set, I have not yet decided.

Special Delivery

Thank you for visiting. Enjoy Your Day.



FS416 - Let's Fiesta

I'm playing in today's Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoaststampers

Congratulations Tracy Valure aka scrapgirl1210

 I am so delighted Tracy is being featured this week.  

I've admired Tracy's wicked coloring skills through being on the SugarPea Designs DT together.  Tracy's gallery is full of amazing creations. I had fun just drooling over them til I chose THIS card of Tracy's to case (which I fell in love with the first time I saw it during that release). 

 I took inspiration from Tracy's white image panel, making that my entire card. 

My husband is Mexican and I know he'll love the rich colors.  Doesn't this image just make you smile! 

Here's the inside.

I used another image and sentiment from the set.

Pink CAS Christmas

I have one card for three challenges today.

First challenge I am playing in is this week's

 Clean And Simple Challenge - Orange You Glad I Said Pink at Splitcoaststampers

  For my CAS card today I just used good old stamping.  Surprise. I combined three stamp sets to make my Christmas tree.  I made my tree using the Spare Me set from SugarPea Designs.  I used the front and back of the silhouette arrow  and the silhouette design for the top.  I Made the tree trunk using a dotted line stamp from Stripes 202 and stamped it in between the sentiment from In The Meadow, both from A Jillian Vance Design.

 

The second challenge I am playing in is the Jingle Belles Pink Christmas Challenge

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, they will donate $4 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for every holiday card with a noteable amount of pink on it submitted. Isn't that Awesome?!

 

The Third Challenge is Addicted to CAS: Code Word Vellum
I used vellum as a mat behind my white panel.  I love to do this with vellum.

 



In my close up

you can see the two pinks I used to make the tree by using the front and back of the stamp

I tied it into the front and just added a few sequins to spice it up a little
