Stamps: Heard from the Heart (retired) for inside.

Ink: Pear Pizzaz.

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzaz, Muirfield DSP (retired), Very Vanilla.

Accessories: Snail Adhesive, Tombow Glue, glue dots, sponge, envelope punch board, Stampin’ Trimmer, scissors, bone folder, pencil.

Punches: Bow Builder.

Baja Breeze card.  Fold in half for a side fold card – a bone folder gives you a crisp fold.  Stamp or sign the back.  Set aside.

Cut Muirfield DSP 5-1/4” x 4”.   Sponge edges with Pear Pizzaz ink.  Cut a slip 1-1/2” long at the top center of the panel.  Score to the points and fold to create a collar.  Sponge edges of collar with Pear Pizzaz ink. 

Curl the points of the collar slightly with a bone folder.   Add dimensionals near the fold only.  Adhere to the card front.

Fold writing tablet paper in half.  Stamp a phrase from the Heard from the Heart (retired) stamp set in Pear Pizzaz ink and adhere to the inside of the card. 

Cut Pear Pizzaz cardstock 1” wide to make the bow tie.  Punch 2 bows and two rectangles from the cardstock with the Bow Builder punch.  Sponge with Pear Pizzaz ink.

Curl the bow pieces and one rectangle piece with a bone folder.

Glue the ends of each bow together.  I like to use the Tombow glue as I find the glue dots add too much thickness.  Cut a tiny bit off both ends of the bow so that it will fit closer together. 

Glue the ends of the bow together. 

Add a thin layer of glue to the entire curled rectangle piece.

 Wrap tightly around bow.  Set aside. 

To make a handkerchief, cut Baja Breeze cardstock 1-1/2” wide.  Cut two triangles from the corners. They don’t have to be exact triangles but close.  Sponge peaks in Pear Pizzaz ink. 

Glue the handkerchief triangles together in different heights. 

Glue the handkerchief triangles to the remaining rectangle, also known as the pocket. Trim.  Set aside. 

Adhere bow to card front with a glue dot.

Adhere pocket.  Flick the handkerchief towards you to give dimension.

Stamps: Swallowtail, Bloom with Hope (retired), Gorgeous Grunge (for the inside).

Cardstock: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry.

Ink: Versamark, Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry.

Accessories: Stamping Sponges, Heat tool, White Embossing Powder, paper towel, Tidy Tray, Embossing Buddy, bone folder, scissors, pencil, Snail Adhesive, Tombow glue, Softly Falling embossing folder, Stampin’ Trimmer.

Punch: Bow Builder, modern label.

Blackberry Bliss card base layered with a panel 5.25” x 4” from Rich Razzleberry cardstock. 

Use Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the bow and punch with the Bow Builder Punch.  There are a lot of good tutorials on how to use the punch.  This is a good one HERE.  She uses glue dots but I much prefer the Tombow glue.

To create the Ink Resist Technique, cut a panel 5” x 3.75” from Whisper White cardstock.  Rub the front with the Embossing Buddy to reduce static. Stamp the Swallowtail image on the white panel using Versamark ink.

Pour white embossing powder over the stamped image over the Tidy Tray.  Heat emboss it.

Lightly sponge over the embossed Swallowtail with Rich Razzleberry ink.

Wipe the embossed image with a paper towel to remove the ink that has stuck to the embossing and that is it!

Cut a panel 5.25” x 4” from white cardstock for the inside of the card.  Decorate to suit your fancy!  Sometime envelopes are just too big so I will show you how to cut an oversized envelope down to fit the card.  Seal the envelope.  Lay your card on the envelope.

You can see that there is hardly any wiggle room.  You may have to cut about an eight of an inch off the bottom of your card if the card is too wide.  Measure 4-3/8” from one short end of the envelope.

Lay my template from OHCC001 and trace the top.

Cut out.

Use a plate to make a curve joining the pencil lines.  Cut through one thickness following curve.

Put your card inside and fold down the top.  I inked the Swallowtail in Blackberry Bliss and added to the front.
