Card For Him - Stick It Down

   Hello blog readers. Today is a Monday which means I am sleep deprived because I stayed up until 1:30 A.M. to watch Worst Cooks in America. 

Anyway, let's get to the fun card sketch from Stick It down. 

   I created a sea-worthy Father's Day card.

Supplies cardstock (the Paper Studio and Cardstock Warehouse), pattern paper (KaiserCraft), pearls (KaiserCraft)

   I love the mirror gold paper mats. If you want to take your cards to the next level this paper is a must-have. 

   
  I used foam adhesive to give the center panel some depth.

Edger Birthday Card

   Hello everyone, I am stopping by today with a simple birthday card. 

    I used an Impression Obsession celebrate edger die. If you are new to these here is a quick tip on getting it right every time.  First, create a scoreline in the card base, make sure the cardstock is wider than the die. Line the die's score line on the card's fold scoreline. Use a low tack tape to hold it in place, Don't over tape the die to the card since the tape becomes more "permanent" once it is through the machine.

 
   Here is what the back of the card looks like once the edger is popped out. 

I used the bunting die from Frantic Stamperbelow the edger to mimic the banner embossed cardstock. The die might be little but cuts through the glitter and mirror cardstocks easily.

   

   Then it comes to making cards I love to create a matching envelope seal, I figure it is a great way to use some of the scraps that I have from creating the card. I punch a 1" circle from cardstock and glue a die-cut, in this case, a little party hat.

DRU Box Card How-To

Today, I will be sharing with you how to create a box card that is 3-D folds flat when it is time to mail. 

   I have created diagrams to help with the instructions. 

Your card should look like this. 

   With the 1" strips that you previously cut from the cardstock, trim it down to 4 1/2" with a 1" score line on each end. Glue to the inside of the box. For my example, I did it in a different color so you can see how it should look. 

   With the Frantic Stamper's Strolling Monique I created a layer die cut. Die cut in two different papers and trim the portion you want, here the shoes and dress. I then glued it to the base die cut. The finishing touch to her was coloring the hair with an alcohol marker. 

   To decorate the card base use six 2 1/4" x 2 1/4", three 2 1/4" x  3 3/4", and two 2 1/4" x 6 1/4". Here is the finished card. The Impression Obsession Birthday die in the front.
