Frightfully Fun Boo To You Tag Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features products from the Frightfully Fun Suite Collection. This sweet spooky collection has adorable images to stamp, fabulous supporting images to die cut to enhance your projects, and papers in an assortment of prints to give you so many options.  Such a fun collection!  



Techniques include altering a die cut and coloring & shading with blending brushes.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

I shortened the tag for this card as it is quite long.  To shorten a tag die like this, first run it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the top part of the tag detail is cut.  Then, place tag on the cutting plate with the top part of the tag extending over the edge of the plates.  The bottom part of the tag die is placed to length desired, lined up along the sides of die cut piece, secured with repositionable tape, and run through the die cut machine for the second time.


This technique works for any die when you wish to modify the length or width.  Just remember to always have the part that was cut first extending beyond the cutting plates to maintain it's original shape.

======================================================================

Glow of Harvest Pop-up Center Best Day Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the shimmery Glow of Harvest Designer Series Papers in a pop-up center fun fold card.  This beautiful pack of paper is the current Product of the Month (POM).  The POM is available once your cart has reached $75 or more in product, and then it's available for purchase for only $5!  Once it's gone, it's gone, so don't wait.  The sentiment is courtesy of the Cutest Crew stamp set.


Techniques include pop-up center fun fold, die cutting and fussy cutting.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

To get nice crisp edges and intricate cuts, the Detail Scissors are a must have.  With pointed tips, a shorter blade and comfortable handles, they make fussy cutting so much easier than trying to work with large shears, or shears with rounded edges.  Fussy cutting may not be your favorite thing to do, but it will be much more enjoyable with a good pair of sharp, easy to maneuver Detail Scissors.

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Cutest Crew stamp set
  • Nested Essentials dies
  • Basic Beige cardstock 
    • card base  5-1/2 x 4-1/4, scored and folded at 2-3/4 along long edge
    • 4 x 1-3/4 for die cut
    • 6 x 3/4, scored at 1-1/2, 2-3/4, 3-1/4 & 4-1/2
    • 4 x 2 for back panel
  • Cajun Craze cardstock
    • 4-1/4 x 2-1/4(4)
    • 4-1/2 x 2-1/4 for die cut
  • Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 4 x 2 (2) print 1
    • 4 x 2 print 2
    • fussy cut images
  • Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Neutral Matte Dots
  • Detail Scissors
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Adhere DSP panels to Cajun Craze cardstock panels.  


Ink "have the best day" near top of Basic Beige 4 x 2 cardstock panel, adhere to Cajun Craze panel. Die cut Basic Beige 4x 1-3/4 cardstock with second smallest elongated hexagon die, ink "just a little hello" and stamp in center.  Die cut Cajun Craze 4-1/2 x 2-1/4 cardstock with second largest elongated hexagon die, adhere Basic Beige piece to center. 


 Adhere to matching DSP panels to front of Basic Beige cardstock panel, centered on either side of center score line.


Adhere remaining DSP panel and Basic Beige panel to back of card panel.


Adhere 1 end of pop up band to center front of card, with adhesive only from edge to first score line.


Fold over, apply adhesive to other edge of pop up band from edge to first score line, adhere to other side of card front, so edges of band meet in middle score line.


It should look like this from a top view:


Adhere elongated hexagon piece to front piece of pop up band (the little 1/2" flat center).


To embellish, fussy cut a plant out, adhere to right of message.  Adhere beige matte dots to left of message.


Here's what the finished back looks like:

Fussy cut a small sprig, adhere near bottom of panel.
