FOUR FOLD CARD WITH STAMPIN'UP HEY CHICK BUNDLE

 I made this card for my friend Lorraine who moved to Edmonton.  I'll miss you!

Measurements:

1 piece of cardstock 5 1/2 X 11 1/2"

1 piece of cardstock 3" X 4 1/4"

5 pieces of coordinating cardstock; 1 piece 3 3/4" X 5", 2 pieces 3" X 4 3/8" and 2 pieces 2 1/2 X 3 3/4"  

5 pieces of white cardstock; 1 piece 3 1/2 X 4 3/4", 2 pieces 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" and 2 pieces 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"

Instructions

• Score the 5 1/2" X 11 1/2" piece of cardstock at 1/4", at 3 3/4" a nd at 7 1/4"
• On the long side, score at 5/8" just as far as the last score line.  Then cut on that score line to the last score line.  
• Adhere the 3" X 4 1/4" cardstock to the 1/4" strip at one end of the long cardstock, even with the bottom.  Snip off the remainder of the 1/4" strip to the end.
• Decorate the pieces of white cardstock as desired.  I used a blender brush and odd shapes of white cardstock to create the effect of clouds.  I then used various stems to create a grass effect on the bottom of each piece of white cardstock.
• I used the Hey Chick stamp set and dies with the Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out the chicks which I then stamped on the card front.
• I used the Simply Stitched label set run through the Cut and Emboss Machine to create the labels. 
• I decorated the inside sections with the fence, sign, and egg and sentiments

  

STAMPIN'UP TOWER CARDS

The Tower Card is a great design.  The four sides allow you to show off any Designer Series Paper and send a message for any event.  It looks much more complicated than it really is.  The best part is that it folds flat so it easily fits in an envelope.  I love this card design.  I used the Stampin'Up Hydrangea Haven Bundle and Petite Pairs Stamp Set (retired) in creating this card.  

 

Measurements:

1 card center 4 1/4” X 14 1/4”. Score at 1”, 2”, 3” and 4” (leaving 1/4” on one end).

4 pieces of cardstock 4 1/4 X 2 3/4”;

4 pieces white cardstock 21/2” X 4” and 1 piece of white cardstock 1 1/2” X 4”

4 pieces of DSP 1 3/4” X 2 1/2” and 2 pieces of DSP 11/2” X 4”. 

4 pieces of ribbon 3 1/2” long

Instructions:

• Score card center at 1", 2" 3" and 4", leaving 1/4" on one end.  Fold inward on each score line to form a square tube.  Place adhesive along the 1/4" strip and adhere to the end of the first section.
• Adhere each 4 1/4" X 2 3/4" piece of cardstock to the four separate sections of the square tube.  
• Adhere the 1 3/4" 2 1/2" pieces of DSP onto the bottom of the 2 1/2" X 4" white card stock.  Cover the seams by placing a strip of ribbon along each, folding and adhering the ends to the back of the white cardstock.  I used the Stampin'Up Purple posy ribbon (retired).
• Adhere each of these pieces of white cardstock to each of the four pieces of cardstock on the square tube.
• Adhere the 1 1/2" X 4 pieces of DSP and the 1 1/2" X 4 piece of strip of cardstock visible on the backside of each 4 1/4" X 2 3/4" piece of cardstock.  
• Stamp desired sentiments on white cardstock.  Choose a die to cut out the sentiment.  Mount this piece on cardstock or coordinating cardstock.  
• Decorate each section as desired.
