How to make your label fit your card & featuring framed florets

                 https://youtu.be/mXZ5EmIyQMo

 This is #7 of 10 weeks of fall ! So here I have a flip card design using the framed florets. The first half of video is how to incorporate your label and sentiment  into your card without it looking like an add on to the card. Example photo below of what was discussed with many more examples on video. Even with the flip card I make sure the sentiment blends in with the card thru masking the snowflakes. 2nd half of video is the card instructions.  The Blue card on the left is completely symmetrical i.e. either side can be the front.  If that is what you are going for keep images to the right. The white card is not. I kept sentiment on left so only flowers are front of card. Both work but blue on is better. 

Cardstock needed : 5 1/2 x6 3/4 - Will be cut and scored          *Long side cuts : start and in at 1 1/4 and cut down to 41/4 - do this to both top and bottom .                                         *Short side cuts : start at 1/4 down and over to 2 3/4 - this cut occurs 4x - top- bottom -left -right                                  **Scoring long side from top to 1 1/4 @2 3/4 and 4 Repeat for bottom   

   

Here we have a few examples of how to work your sentiments into your card front. See video for much more examples. 

Using older kits to make fancy fold cards out of September 2022 paper pumpkin treat boxes

 

BOO 

    

                     https://youtu.be/tqq5Snwp2M0

So there are three actual kits that you can use to match up with the spooky treats paper pumpkin. The most recent one is the July 2022 P.P.- then the February 2022 and finally the March 2021 P.P.  I decided to make this sweet fancy fold card into a shaker cards using parts from the various paper pumpkins. I did  use some designer paper, but you could use cardstoxk instead. The front strip has to be  a 6 by 1 1/2 inches long and wide.  Using the 2 pieces created by simply cutting the wrap around lid I get the front and back of the shaker card. I need  half of a  fresh freesia card from one of the older paper pumpkins as the base card. I will also use about a third of the other half to make the shaker inset. A clear plastic bag is needed for the insert with shaker pieces. Once that is done all you need is to start stamping and have fun. 

Need 4 cards! Just ink, paper &trimmer

Here are 2 sets of cards. The first set is fall and second is Christmas… the splendid thoughts and merriest moment stamp sets were used from stampin up. These are perfect for stamp a stack or gift cards. Here is my store link if needed 

https://reneeewart.stampinup.net/?fs=e&s=cl

Here are 4 cards where the card fronts are made from one sheet of 81/2 by 11 card stock.  The video explains how to https://youtu.be/pG2JFRNMwKw  and here are the measurements for the label itself: 2 3/4 by 2 is all you need which can be cut out from the actual fronts of the card.  I explain this in the video. There is really no need to add extra dsp or anything. The front speaks for itself. Here I do show alternates for the card below you will see no need for extras unless you love an embellishment here and there. 

Since the card front starts at 51/2 by 41/4 I can cut to a 51/4 by 4 and use the stamped edges to cut and use for framing. 

Next you will see the pieces for the merriest moments : 

       Below is the How the 4 corners card faces are made using a cross cross stamping process.  Don’t be worried about going over the center by at least an 1 1/2   Since we want the edges as a frame for the label. 

To make the card fronts, stamp your images in a "cross" pattern in the center of the cardstock, then use your Paper Trimmer to cut the cardstock in quarters to make 4 pieces 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. You will trim these down to make card fronts. You can get 4 A2 size card fronts by trimming the panels to 4 x 5-1/4 . You can use as notecards, trim 2 of the panels to measure 3-5/8 x 4-7/8, and cut 2 of them down to 4-1/4 x 2-3/4, using a leftover piece to decorate a bag… check out my bags here on my blog here https://reneepcrafts.blogspot.com/2022/06/its-all-about-bags-and-their-many-sizes.html

A great luminary card as a mantle piece

Using the rustic harvest designer paper and the pretty pumpkin bundle one can easily make this great tea light piece.  It’s more than just a card. It just warms up the area once that tea light shines inside.  It uses an 11 by 41/4 cardstock and a 4 by 10 3/4 of designer paper. Scoring is for card base 6 1/2 and 2 3/4 for the designer paper 2 11/16 and 5 3/8. Both end up as Z fold pieces. Check out my YouTube directions here https://youtu.be/tnOPs3hR2as

 

#3 of 10 weeks of Fall alternate Z fold card

 

A great card for 6 by 6 designer paper- it uses a sheet and a 1/3 with little waste  

We started with the paper pumpkin august 2022 kit then went to a luminary and now a fun style for the Z fold card. I do discuss some of the items to be aware of producing this card in my video here https://youtu.be/FrreGTmaQrE I make some extra comments on the dimensions  viewed to hopefully ensure success.. the first photo depicts the card the second shows materials and most measurements 

List of materials : 81/2 by 51/2 cardstock- 2 pieces of 6 by 6 dsp  only 1/3 of the second will be used - stamps, punches and dies . I used the scary silhouette dies, witches hat builder punch and a small Happy Halloween stamp and ghost from discontinued items  

Dimensions DSP  3 pieces from 6 by 6 first cut a piece that is 6 by 5 1/4 then cut out center by placing the short side against the top of your cutting board start at 1”from the top and 1”in from the side cut down to 51/4 then flip and do the exact same thing to the opposite side  next you will cut the short sides by cutting from the one inch side down 1 “ to 4 1/4 flip to the bottom and now go over by 3/4 of an inch and down an inch to 41/4. Your center is free to cut the frame and the left small piece  the frame is 2 7/8 by 2 7/8 and the strip should be 1 by 2/78  vs a 1 by 3 as seen in the video  the three isn’t bad but 2 7/8 is better .  Using the second piece of dsp cut a 1 7/8 by 5 1/4  

Cardstock scoring  :  Long side up against the top and score each of these from 1 1/4 to 4 1/4  start with 7 1/4 next 6 and 3- next score at 2 1/8 thru the entire card - next are the two 4 1/4 scores that simply score from top to 1 1/4 and from bottom up  to 4 1/4  .  Cutting the cardstock : Place cardstock to short side and go to go to the end that does not have the 21/8 score line. Now go in and down 1 1/4 inches and cut down to 5 1/2 - cut both sides exactly the same
