Open House

Yesterday I held my Open House to introduce the new Spring/Summer and Sale-A-Bration catalogues to customers past, present and (hopefully) future.

I designed two Make n Takes for everyone to make and take home, so I thought I’d share them with you today.

Both of these cards feature new products from the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

The Crushed Curry card on the left was made using the Star Blast Edgelits (page 11 of the catalogue) and the Emerald Envy card on the right was made using the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies (page 5 of the catalogue). Both cards feature the Party Animal Designer Series Paper (DSP) on page 5 of the catalogue.

I made the Crushed Curry card as follows:

• Use an A5 piece of Crushed Curry to make the card base.
• Glue a piece of Whisper White measuring 10.0 x 14.4 cm on top.
• Glue a piece of DSP measuring 9.5 x 13.9 cm on top.
• Cut out the die twice from a piece of Crushed Curry measuring 9.5 x 13.9 cm and glue this on top of the DSP. I simply cut one (making sure the die was placed at the top), and then turned the cardstock 180° and cut the second (making sure the die was placed at the top again).
• Glue some of the stars left over from the die cut images, onto the card front.
• Stamp the sentiment in Bermunda Bay onto a piece of Whisper White measuring 9.5 x3.25 cm and then fix it to the strip of Crush Curry (between the two die cut images) using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Add some Basic Rhinestones.
• I added a Whisper White insert measuring 10.0 x 14.4 cm that I’d stamped with stars.
