So sorry it has taken so long for me to post the instructions from October 11th's Facebook Live. My computer is having issues and needs to go visit the Geek Squad! So withouth further ado, here are the instructions!
Happy Birthday Hinge Step Card
Coastal Cabana – one piece cut to 2 1/8” x 5 1/8”
Designer Series Paper (DSP): Playing with Patterns – three pieces; one 6” x 6” for the die cut, one piece cut to 4: x 5 ¼” and one cut to ¾” x 4” (see photo for patterns used)
Use
the Little Treat Box dies to cut a treat box from the 6” x 6” DSP. Cut the two pieces containing the scalloped
edges away for the box (save the scraps for another project). Place one of the scalloped edge pieces in the
trimmer with the top of the scalloped edge at the 1” mark and score. Repeat
with the other scalloped edge piece. Set these pieces aside. Cut a
13” length of the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and dye it Calypso Coral by holding it
to the Calypso Coral pad with a paper town and then dragging the ribbon through
the ink. You may have to do this several
times to get the desired depth of color.
Place the ribbon aside to dry and carefully clean your hads so as not to
get the ink all over your project. Place
the 2” x 5” piece of Whisper White cardstock into the Stamparatus with the 2”
length along the top and lining up the 5” length on the left side of the
Stamparatus.. Secure the piece in place
with a magnet. Place the uninked Banner
image from the Little Treats set on the top portion of the cardstock leaving
about ¼” from the top of the piece.
Close the Stamparatus plate and pick up the stamp. Ink the stamp with Calypso Coral image and
close the plate so the image stamps onto the cardstock. After stamping, clean the image and lift the
plate from the Stamparatus base and move it down one “notch”. Ink the stamp
with Crushed Curry and stamp again. This
image should now be about ¾” of an inch below your first stamped image. After stamping, clean the stamp, lift the
plate from the Stamparatus and this time move it down two more notches (this
will leave room for the sentiment). Ink
the stamp with Coastal Cabana and stamp.
After stamping, clean the stamp, lift the plate from the Stamparatus and
move down one notch. Ink the stamp with
Misty Moonlight and stamp. Remove your stamped piece from the Stamparatus
and set the Stamparatus aside. Ink the
“Birthday Wishes” stamp with Calypso Coral ink and stamp it onto the Whisper
White scrap. Cut the sentiment out using
the large label die from the Little Treat Box dies, lining the sentiment up
with the top of the die instead of centering (this will leave room for the
resin dots. Adhere the die cut sentiment
to the center of the stamped panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the stamped panel to the 2 1/8” x 5
1/8” piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock.
Place one of the scalloped edge pieces previously cut from the Little
Treat Box die so that the 1” score line lines up with the right edge of the
cardstock and centering it with the sentiment (see photo for help on
placement) Secure this piece to the
cardstock and trim on the left hand side if needed. Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Playing with
patterns onto the card front. Adhere the
stamped panel to the left side of the card front leaving about a 1/8”
border. Fold the remaining scalloped
edge piece along the 1” score line.
Place adhesive on the portion of the piece below the score line. Line the piece up with the scalloped edge on
the card front and then close the card, securing the piece to the back of the
inside of the card. (See photo for
placement). Adhere the ¾” x 4” piece of
DSP to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Whisper White cardstock. Adhere this piece to the inside of the card
(it will cover the part of the die cut that is not scalloped. Close the card, thread the ribbon through the
holes in both of the scalloped pieces and tie the card shut. For the finishing touch, place three of the
Coastal Cabana colored Playing with Patterns Resin dots below the sentiment.
If
desired cut another treat box and decorate as shown as a matching gift to the
card.
Primitive Tree Card and Matching Treat Box
Cardstock: Pretty Peacock – Three pieces; one cut to 8 ½” x 5 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”, one cut to 3” x 5 ¼” and one scrap large enough to cut one of the scalloped edge pieces from the Little Treat Box dies.
Shaded Spruce – one piece cut to 3 ¼” x 5 ¼” ( this piece could be crumb cake if desired)
Early Espresso – one piece cut to ¾” x 3 ¾” and scored at 3/8” on the long side.
Designer Series Paper (DSP): Plaid Tidings - three pieces all from the same pattern; one piece left at 6” x 6”, one piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and one piece cut to ¾” x 4”
Use
the Little Treat Box dies to cut a box from the 6” x 6” piece of DSP (save the
scraps!) and to cut one of the scalloped edge sections from the scrap of Pretty
Peacock cardstock. Assemble the Treat
Box. Use the Pine Tree Punch to punch a
tree in the center of the Pretty Peacock piece that was cut from the die. Trim the scalloped edge from the Pretty
Peacock piece and adhere it to the front of the Treat Box (the pattern will
show through the punched image. Tie the
treat box closed using the Braided Linen Trim.
From the scraps of leftover DSP
cut out the two large and two small rectangles.
Adhere these triangles to the ¾” x 3 ¾” piece of Early Espresso using
the score line to center the pieces. The
two larger triangles will be the bottom of the tree and the two smaller
triangles will be the top of the tree.
Adhere the assembled tree to the 3” x 5 ¼” piece of Pretty Peacock
cardstock. Adhere this panel to the 3 ¼”
x 5 ¼” piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock.
Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of DSP to the card front and then center the
panel onto the card front. Adhere the ¾”
x 4” piece of DSP to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece
of Very Vanilla cardstock and adhere to the inside of the card.
Here are two other treat boxes I made during the Facebook Live (they really don't need any directions)
