Try it Tuesday # 13

Hi all, for another "Try It Tuesday" for Whimsy Stamps.  I've constructed a Center Step Card for you today using a set from Monika Martinson (Momas) called Build a Rose Bush.

I don't have a tutorial for you today, but I will give you the measurements.
I started with a piece of 6" x 11" white cardstock. I used 100lb weight cardstock for a sturdy card.  (The EK Success Lattice Border punch measures 1 1/4". )  Both the left and right side were punched on the long edge, starting at 1 1/2" from bottom to 1 1/2" at the top. If not punching - then cut a line - by measuring over 1 1/4" and cutting a vertical line from 1 1/2" bottom to 1 1/2" top.  The 3 1/2" Center panel  was scored in half, at 5 1/2".  A mountain fold was created at the 1 1/2" mark for each side panel and a valley fold 1" from that. Close your card at this point and it will create a natural fold for the two side panels.  A spellbinders die was used to create the scalloped bottom edges.  The white panels are matted with a Bo Bunny DP.  The image from "Build A Rose Bush" was stamped onto Cougar White cardstock for copics with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with copic markers and die cut using the overlapping image technique.  The inside is matted with the same Bo Bunny DP with a Scalloped Circle stamped with "Life is a sweet bouquet of special moments"
I'm not totally happy with this card and if I had another 4 hours, I would do it over from scratch, but I do need to sleep:( I'm hoping that you will take the Center Step card idea and try one for yourself.  Finished card measures 6" x 5 1/2" and folds flat for mailing at regular postage.
Materials used:  Build A Rose Bush, Cougar White Cardstock (for copics), Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Copic Markers:  RV10, RV21, RV23, RV29, YG93, G40, YG63, YG97, Viva Decor Gold Pearl Pen (centers of flowers),  Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap, Spellbinders large scallop die, and oval die, EK Success Lattice Border Punch, Bo Bunny DSP from stash.
Remember, Stamp up a Storm, Ink up a Wish and send it on to someone to make their day.

Whimsy "Try It Tuesday" 7 - Tri Shutter Card

Hi all,  Well this is a duplicate of the post below because blogger will not allow me to update my editing. 
Today, my card is a Tri Shutter Card using a stamp set called Spring Tulips, a stamp set of 8 from Momas Collection. 

 










1.  Start with a piece of card stock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.
2.  Along the top and bottom long edge, measure in 3/4" and draw a line from the 2" to 7" mark.  (Cut on this line).
3. Rotate your card 90 degrees and score between the cut lines @ 2", 3", 6" and 7".
4. Score at 4.25" and 6.25 on space on the outer edge of cut line.  The (m) and (v) indicate mountain and valley fold).
I chose to cut a mat from Chocolate Chip and DP (Magnolia Spring Blossom, from Michele R Designs) to embellish the card.  I also cut an image of Tulips and matted it with Pink.  The matted and colored image was centered between the arms of the opening.   A matted sentiment was popped in behind the image.  Three bows were colored, cut out and used to embellish the back flap. Once glued down glossy accents was applied on top.
   The Flower Lace was sponged with pink and added to the bottom of the card.
Materials used: Cardstock:  SU Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, White Xpress It blending card. Memento Tuxedo Black ink,  Copic Markers:  R81, R83, R85, YG91, YG93, YG25.  Glossy Accents, Flower Lace from stash, shaped die. 
Hoping this makes sense to you, and I hope you will try a tri shutter card to give away to make someone's day.
Rubber hugz, Whimsy wishes,
