Another Papercrafts-inspired card and the winner of the free March Break Madness online class registration

Posted on: Friday, February 12th, 2010

Today I wanted to share with you another card layout that was inspired by the January/February 2010 issue of Papercrafts magazine – have I told you yet that this one of my favorite go-to places for inspiration *LOL*? This time the layout was from the free online cards that they make available in every issue. Now I saw the card in the magazine and not online so I unfortunately don’t have a direct link to provide you with.

You can download a pdf handout HERE.  The pdf gives you a full supply list as well as written directions with dimensions so that you can re-create the card if you so desire.

You can watch the video below:

 

Directions:

  1. Take a 4 ¼” x 11” piece of Whisper White CS and fold it in half with your bone folder to create a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card.
  2. Center and stick a 3 ¾” x 5” piece of DP from the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack onto a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Pretty in Pink CS. 
  3. Stamp the birthday greeting from the Everything Nice stamp set twice onto a 2 ¼” x 4” piece of Pretty in Pink CS in Basic Black Classic ink (you are stamping the greetings one on top of the other).  Use a stamp-a-ma-jig if necessary.
  4. Center and stick the Pretty in Pink greeting piece onto a 2 ½” x 4 ¼” piece of Whisper White CS.
    Take a 10” piece of Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon and tie it in a bow.  Trim the ends on an angle.  Stick the bow to the bottom of the greeting with a mini glue dot.
  5. Take a ⅞” x 4” strip of Pretty in Pink CS and stick it about 1 ¼” up from the bottom edge of the DP.
    Stick the matted greeting to the DP with 4 Stampin’ Dimensionals (one in each corner).  Make sure there is about a ¼” space between the top and right sides of the greeting, and the edge of the DP.
  6. Pierce two holes about ⅜” apart, on the strip of Pretty in Pink CS, just to the left of the matted greeting piece. Insert two white 5/16” brads.
  7. Center and stick the matted DP to the Whisper White card front. You’re done!

Okay, and now onto the winner of the March Break Madness Online Class……drumroll please……The winner is:

I used to go to the library to check out the papercrafts – it was always gone, so when I finally got it, I would make color copies of it. After all that, I decided that I just had to break down and fork over the money for the subscription….funny, I’m starting to feel that way about your stuff!!!

I just received my issue of PaperCrafts today. Don’t you just love all of the layouts and inspiration you get from it. Your card is wonderful. Really simple and yet the recipient would never know it. I love that Sweet Pea DSP! I wish they would carry in the the Main Catty. I really like how you stamped the sentiment twice. I hadn’t thought to do that, but it really does look nice. Thanks for the inspiration, again, and as always I love the DFP. Thanks for all of your time and efforts.
