Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2

Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna.  See the first batch here.   

First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.  

Sending Love mailbox Save

I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this.  It sure adds a playful note!

The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here.  The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

SENDING LOVE BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene.  But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

Sending Love mailbox Save

I only opened the upper flap in the photo above.  You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card.  Here's what it looks like fully opened.  I love that you can read the greetings either way!

  • Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4".  Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner.  The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer) 
  • White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal.

  • More WOW swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with measurements

    Okay; are you as amazed by this card as I am?!  Candace made this with the Submarine Life bundle.

    Feb Candace Sublime Save

    The bubble paper looks like it's printed but she made it! She stamped on her Pool Party card stock with Pool Party & White craft ink with the bubble image.  Incredible!

    I'm not positive of the many colors she used here but I know a few include Sweet Sorbet, Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive.  She's a huge fan of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' so she had to get this bundle! 

    Measurements: 

    • Blueberry Bushel 8 1/8" X 5 1/4". Across the top, score at the 1 5/8" mark down to 1 5/8". Score at 3 3/8" down to 3 5/8". Score at 5" down to the bottom of the card. From the bottom side, score at the 6 1/2" up to 1 5/8". Now you'll make two cuts across the center two areas from the score lines.  
    • Pool Party large squares 3 1/4", small squares 1 1/2" X 2 for the bottom.  Top pieces are 1 1/2" X 1 3/4"
    • Back white is 3" X 3 3/8" 

    SUBMARINE LIFE BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    Here's a view of the back side.

    This is a total 'WOW' card; don't you agree? Candace is an incredible designer and LOVES swapping!

    Mary made this sweet card with the Sunny Days designer paper seen here.  It's free during Sale-a-Bration through February or while supplies last.  

    Feb Mary Sunny Days Save

    I've always loved Red with Pool Party; one of my favorite color combos. 

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", second flap is 6" X 4 1/4" score at 3 1/8"
    • DSP 2" X 5 1/4"

    Other products used are the Country Bouquet stamp set in the Annual catalog and Classic Matte dots

    The Hooray for Surprises bundle has multiple dies that allow for  peek-a-boo surprises. You can see in the photo below that the heart die-cut can be 'pulled' away to reveal a hidden message. There are multiple dies in this set that provide a tear-away element. It's so cool!  

    Feb Sharon peek Save

    Here's a photo of the Hooray for Surprises bundle; even with out the peek-a-boo elements I love the stamped images and dies! *see the perforations on the large dies? That provides the tear away aspect.

  • Trusty Tools single gatefold card with the Sale-a-Bration Trusty Toolbox designer paper

    Last week I shared the projects featuring the Trusty Tools bundle and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper in my weekly video. I've shared the free project sheets for two of those in the last two blog posts. 

     

    Trusty Tools projects Save

    Today I'll focus on the third project on the right – a single gate-fold card with a 'faux' toolbox on the front.  

    Trusty Tools card Save

    I love this greeting!  It's from the Trusty Tools bundle seen here.  The tools in front are all fussy cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper (and Holographic specialty paper in the Annual Catalog) although a few of the dies in the bundle coordinate with the paper.

    I did not create a project sheet for this project but I will provide the measurements:

    Measurements:

    • Gray Granite card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4" plus die-cut tool box pieces 
    • DSP – front is 2" X 5 1/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4" plus fussy cut tools
    • Black 3 1/2" square
