Notecard Keeper Box Tutorial in Inches!

Hello,

Recently, here on the ole blog, I designed a whole bunch of note cards and this cute Note Card Keeper Box to keep them all in with a video tutorial too.

I have since been asked a few times now if I could add the measurements in inches and I finally had a spare hour to do this and so that's what I'm here to share with you today :-)

While I was checking the measurements I decided to make the box in a different design using Watercolour Wings {and remember it's 15% cheaper when purchased as a bundle too!} teamed with the new In Colour Watermelon Wonder. I do love this colour - but it seems I'm a sucker for all the pinks SU! release!

OK, so I do recommend watching the video as you read these measurements as they make a lot more sense with the visual tutorial too.

Start long along the short side and sore at 1", 5" and cut at 6".

{If stamping do this now on both pieces of card}

on the long side of the largest remaining card piece score at 4+3/4", 5+3/4" cut at 10+1/2".

For the lid (use the waste from the box) Score along the long side at 3/8", 4+7/16", 5.5", 9+9/16" and 10+5/8"

Score right along the short edge at 1+1/16" to complete the scoring.

I stamped the box using Versamark and the butterflies with Watermelon ink onto white card.

OK, so I have remade this box a few times in inches to check and it seems OK but if you have a go please let me know if the instructions were OK and worked for you too?

Thanks as ever for visiting today and I hope you have enjoyed todays post?

TMT: Video Tutorial- Inking the edges of your card - My Top Tips!

Hello,

I'm just sneaking in on this Tuesday for this weeks Two Minute Tuesday video. I wanted to share with you my tips for inking the edges of your card layers to make them "pop" on your card a bit more.

I designed a couple of simple cards using Watercolour Wings to show off the two different techniques and the end results, lets see...

(you can click on any picture to make it larger)

The sponged effect first...

and what I think is a more CAS look but still very good effective, this look is achieved with a marker.

Please feel free to pin this picture so you can easily find this weeks video again

So, lets see my top tips on getting your layers to look good...

So, I hope these tips are useful to someone out there and of you have enjoyed any of my videos or tutorials a thumbs up, or even better a comment, is greatly appreciated :-)

Thanks as ever for looking today and I'll be back tomorrow with the last card in my Five Days Of You're Sublime series! *Which I just placed on hold for today's TMT video*

Two of a Kind! Using Stampin' Up's Watercolour Wings for a Card Class

Hello!

I have been really touched to read all your lovely comments regarding the Inlaid Die cut cards I made this week using the Butterfly Thinlits (you can find the cards HERE and another with a video tutorial HERE) so I just want to say a big thanks for taking the time to message or comment here and on Facebook. I'm so glad you liked the cards as much as I enjoyed making them ;-)

So, onto todays card. I'm sticking with the butterfly theme today sharing this card I designed for my stamp-a-stack card class nearly a month ago! Time sure does fly when a new catalogue comes out! With so many new things to play with and share with you this poor little card kept getting pushed to the side! Lol

So, lets see it shall we? This is the original design for class...

I used a colour combo of Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe.

This sentiment is from the set too.

I only glued the very centre of this butterfly so the wings were proud.

TIP: You could add dimensionals under the wings if you plan on posting this card to keep them sitting up.

And a top view of this card. I added some sequins from my stash using crystal effects to finish.

And this class was one I had an extra kit cut for so here is a slightly different version to my original...

and a top view of both the cards together to finish today!

So I hope you have enjoyed these two of a kind cards using the pretty Watercolour Wings stamp set? There are so many colour combos for the butterflies in this set and I'm looking forward to trying them out soon. Keep an eye out for those!

OK, I'm off now to design some cards for this weeks class and if you want to see what I'm up to please keep an eye on my Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for pics! Links below.

So all that's left today is to say thanks for stopping by.

Stampin' Hugs,
