Triple Time Stamping - One Hour Card Class 061 - OHCC061

Stamps: Flourishing Phrases.

Cardstock: Dapper Denim, White.

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum.

Tools: Cricut Explore Air machine, bone folder, Tombow adhesive, dimensionals, sequins, 9” Sweet Sugarplum Ruched ribbon

Lots of Triple Time stamping cards on Pinterest and I thought to myself – ‘why couldn’t I set this up on my Cricut machine’ and that is exactly what I did!

Cut white cardstock at 5-3/4” x 4-3/4” for the outside of the card.  Open Cricut Design Space.  Create three rectangles at 4″ x 5-1/4″, 4-1/4″ x 3″, 2″ x 3-1/4″ and let the Cricut cut it.  Isn’t that simple!

Stamp the sentiment from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set at the bottom of the middle panel using Dapper Denim ink.

Ink the large vine from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set in Dapper Denim ink.  Stamp off on to a scrap then stamp on the white panel - stamp your first one in the center then continue stamping off until the panel is covered with the vine.

Stamp the flower five or six times on the panel, inking the stamp each time.  Stamp the leaves a few times on the panel, inking the stamp each time.

Set the Cricut up to cut two more rectangles from Dapper Denim cardstock at 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and 3-1/2″ x 2-1/4″.  Yes, you might as well cut four from the sheet of cardstock.

Before you glue the white frames to the card stock frames, make sure they are lined up in the direction you want. If you don’t, the flowers will not match each other! 

Adhere the largest white stamped frame to the card front.  Adhere the remaining stamped panels to the matching dapper Demin panels.  Adhere together making the flowers match.

Tape 4-1/2” ribbon around the panels just above the phrase.  Add dimensionals to the back and adhere to card front.  Add a few clear sequins.

Fold a piece of writing tablet paper in half for the inside of the card.  Stamp with images. 

Decorate an envelope.

Folded Paper Flower - One Hour Card Class 009 - OHCC009

My good friend and stamping buddy, Lana, gifted me with these two paper flowers.  She said she has a die that does all the scoring and scallop edging for her.  I dawned on me that it has been a lot of years since I made these so I thought I would show you how to make them without a die.

There seems to be a lot of different names for this folded paper flower - paper rosette, fan fold flower, fan fold medallion, accordion paper flower, are some that I have seen.  Regardless of what it is called, it is pretty simple to make. I came across this layout on Pinterest and really liked it.  I made very slight changes to make it fit my folded paper flower. 

I cut the DSP I” x 10” and scored every ¼” from the wrong side for this flower.

I folded it like an accordion.  Once I persuaded it into a circle, I adhered a 1-3/8” circle covered in glue to the wrong side.

Flip the flower to the right side and fill the hole with glue – I do think a Hot glue gun would be quicker to use for this part.  Hold until the glue starts to set. 

Then set a heavy object on top of the rosette to weigh it down while the glue cures – I used my external hard drive and my coffee cup! 

Finished it off with a tiny die and a pearl.

The banner was cut at 1-3/4” x 4-3/4”. 

Once I die cut the flourish, I cut it apart as I wanted about another ½” spread from it.

And, of course, a matching envelope.

I decided I would make a Thank You card for Lana using one of her folded paper flowers she gave me. 

I received an exchange card from a good stamping friend that I’ve known probably for ten years but have never met, Madge.  Stampin Up! claims there is ‘no shame in copying’ so I copied Madge’s - I loved the layout of her card! 

Stamps: Flourishing Phrases.

Cardstock: writing tablet paper, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, white, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP (09/10).

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry.

Tools: Score board, Fast Fuse Adhesive, Sponge, Score board, Tombow glue, bone folder, Fine Tip Glue Pen, Silicone Craft Sheet, Dimensionals.

Punches/Dies: 1-3/8” circle, wide oval punch, Flourish Thinlits dies.

Card SU243 With Sympathy Grunge

Love this Gorgeous Grunge stamp set!  If you look closer, you will notice a faint inked image of the Honeycomb embossing folder in the background.  I spotted this on someone else’s blog but I now cannot find it!  To do it, simply ink the raised side of the embossing folder, put your card on top of the inked side and close the flap.  Now, rub gently with your hand and there it is!  Too cool!

I love these colors together - Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango and Pool Party!  I could not seem to line up the Pansy Punch with these flowers so I did a google on it.  Keenan Kreations has an example but there are lots of others on youtube as well.  Much easier to use once this tip was figured out for me!  I just eye balled it to cut out the flag ends.  The card didn't scan so good with the bulk of the buttons.
