Six-sided Sampler card #1

One of my purchases from the new catalog was the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set and coordinating punch. I like to purchase the stamp sets that have coordinating punches because they tend to stay in the catalog longer. I'll be sharing some ideas using this stamp set over the next few days. Here is the first card I made.

Happy Birthday Tri-fold Card

My mother-in-law's birthday is today so I made her this card. She likes to display the cards around the house so I thought this tri-fold design would work perfect. If you just Google for this type of card, you can watch Youtube videos to learn how to make a tri-fold card.

Hope she likes it!

Wedding Card--Happy I Do Day

Finally the wedding card that went with the mini album. I found the front cover idea on Pinterest.

I knew I was going to give cash or a gift card so I wanted a pocket center. I took an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and scored down the center at 4 1/4, turn the cardstock and score the center at 5 1/2.  With the cardstock facing you in the horizontal (landscape) position, I cut the top left 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece from the cardstock and folded the bottom left remaining piece to the inside of the card. I made a diagonal cut keeping a little extra to allow for the decorative lace punching. Adhere the bottom to form the pocket. The top right 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece folds down to become the front of the card. Added a gem on the diamond ring. There you have it!

Honeymoon Mini Scrapbook continues--back cover and goodies

Goodies--I decided I didn't want to label pages so that they can put whatever pictures they wanted on whatever pages so I decided to send them a baggie full of printed sayings. They can add the sayings wherever they want. If you are interested in seeing the file, just email me.

Here's the back cover.

Honeymoon Mini Scrapbook continues--page 5

Page 5--The last page of the book. This page is folded just like the Silly Monkey page. The couple are certified scuba divers and I believe they are planning to dive while in Florida so I thought this page might be appropriate. Another paper find from Hobby Lobby.

Honeymoon Mini Scrapbook continues--page 4

Page 4--Is an envelope that I sealed shut to form a pocket. I made a note for them to let them know that this is a place to put ticket stubs, receipts, etc. into. I labeled it "Stuff." It's a different size than all the other pages, but I kind of liked that.

I just put a photo mat on the back of the envelope.

Honeymoon Mini Scrapbook continues--page 3

Page 3--You have to know my nephew, to know that this page will work perfectly for him. When I saw the paper, Silly Monkey, in Hobby Lobby, I just had to have it for him.
Here is another 12 x 12 piece of paper folded to form a small pocket where a tag can fit and then the big pocket for other photo mats and journaling pieces. A wonderful artist, Laura Denison, has the tutorial at this link http://www.lauradenisondesigns.com/magic-fold-mini-album-tutorial/

I just made the individual pages and folded the page back on itself. So there is some difference from the tutorial. By folding the page back on itself, I made a pocket at the top. I adhered the bottom shut and with the binding on the side forms the pocket. Let me know, if you have any questions.
