Hello stamping friends, The Lazy Days Bundle (#161343) consists of the Lazy days stamp set (#161340) and the Lazy Days dies (#161342). I used one of the designs from the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (#161289) for the background, and matted this with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991), then attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228). The chair and table from the Lazy Days stamp set was stamped with Blueberry bushel ink (#147138), then cut with the co-ordinating dies. The drinks were coloured with Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blend (#159224). The frieze and balustrade are also cut with the Lazy days dies. I used Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Basic White card. The hanging pot plant was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends (#161680) and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673) and cut with a Lazy days die. “Welcome” is also from the Lazy days stamp set and I used a cloud die to cut this. The chair, table, pot plant and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The vine was cut from Lost Lagoon card (#133686) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet making it easy to attach it to the card. “Love what you do and share what you love.” INSPIRE. CREATE.

For a long time now, I have both admired and felt intimidated by this fabulous card fold. I'm ashamed to admit that until very recently I've never even investigated the mechanics behind how it works simply because it appeared so complicated. I finally decided the time had arrived to step outside my comfort zone and give this fold a go... Now I'm almost embarrassed to share this tutorial with you. The card base is formed from just four pieces of card stock joined together in the corners, and eight score lines. I admit that I was gobsmacked when I realised how simple and easy it was to make. Lesson learned. 1. Start with four pieces of card stock, each measuring 3" x 6". It's important to have nice straight lines and accurate measurements so the card can move freely. 2. Lay a piece of card stock horizontally on your score board and score at 11/2" and again at 41/2". Repeat for the other three pieces of card stock. Fold back and forth along the score lines. 3. OPTIONAL: ink the edges of the card stock, including the folds, for a vintage look. 4. Lay two piece of card stock vertically on the desk in front of you with the score lines running horizontally. 5. We're going to place adhesive in each of the four corners, 11/2" from the centre of each piece. I've marked the location of the adhesive in the photos below. Make sure you only apply it to the outer section or your card will not operate properly. 6. Add glue or double sided tape to the first corner. I found it easier to work on one section at a time. Make sure your glue or tape is strong enough to withstand a lot of handling... people are going to play with this card! 7. Secure a piece of card stock horizontally across the top of the two pieces that are on your desk. Keep the edges flush and the score lines all lined up. Refer to the photos for correct placement. 8. Repeat the process in the bottom corner. 9. Now we're going to adhere the other two corners, remembering to keep all the score lines and edges lined up nicely. 10. Believe it or not, that's all it takes to complete the card base. Once the glue is dry, you can have a little play with your card. 11. Now to decorate. I must admit that I found this more difficult that the actual card itself... mostly because of how many different spaces there were to fill. If you want to decorate your card the same way I did, you'll need four image panels - two measuring 23/4" x 53/4" and two measuring 53/4" x 23/4" (two vertical and two horizontal). You'll also need eight pieces of patterned paper measuring 11/4" x 23/4" and eight pieces of patterned paper measuring 11/4" x 11/4". 12. I wanted my card to look kind of like a puzzle, so I chose to cut each of the image panels in half so that they split and come together as the card is viewed. If you don't like the idea of cutting your four large image panels, you could opt to have eight individual panels instead. 13. Start with the image that you'd like to appear on the front of the card. Remember, the orientation of the card doesn't matter - you could just as easily start with a horizontal image by turning the card 90 degrees. 14. Use glue or double sided tape to adhere the elements to the front of the card. Avoid bulky embellishments that will hinder the operation of the card and definitely avoid placing anything over any of the edges. 15. Flip the card open to the next area for decoration. Be careful not to turn the card while you're decorating - you don't want to end up with images or sentiments that are upside down! 16. When you come to this section, be aware that the middle pieces will actually cover a whole image panel rather than some of the small pieces of patterned paper. Refer to the photos below. 17. Complete the card with the remaining patterned paper and image panels. I absolutely love this card! Even though I know the mechanism is simple, it's still incredibly satisfying to play with. My 13 year old son thought I had performed some sort of magic when he saw it... in fact, he enjoyed it so much that he appropriated the sample version! Products:

Hello stampers. I am sure you have seen some amazing twisted pop-up cards on Pinterest. They are just so impressive. It is always a very cool thing to surprise people and that is exactly what this card does. From the outside it looks like a plain, average card. Cute, but nothing super impressive. Well. I'm telling you, they are a lot of fun to make and even more fun to watch people open. It really helps to make a few at a time so that your brain catches on to how to make them, and then it is like riding

SPRINGY THINGY CARD TUTORIAL It's time for me to share my weekly Tuesday tip or technique. This tutorial fell out of my tips/techniques book as I moved it last night and so got chosen for today's effort. It makes a card front that the receiver pulls open and the card opens out like a spring to see an inner 20cm square area. Images of a completed card using this technique are below these instructions. Practice this on some scrap paper first. MATERIALS 20cm square piece of card stock or decorative paper of your choice. Pre colour the card if you wish. I'll use white card stock so you can clearly see what to do. Pencil, rubber, ruler, craft knife, craft mat and bone scorer. HOW TOO 1) On all sides measure and make a light pencil dot at the 5cm, 10cm and 15cm mark. On my sample I will use a black marker so you can see what I did easily. 2) From the 5cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark 3) From the 10cm mark at the left and right side measure in and mark a dot in at the 5cm mark from each side 4) From the 15cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark. These dots make a large diamond. 5) Score between all these dots. In my image I have drawn dashes to show you were to score 6) At the top 15cm mark score down to the right side of the diamond. At the 15cm mark at right edge, score across to the bottom of the diamond. At the 5cm mark on the bottom edge, score up to the left side of the diamond. Lastly at the 5cm mark at the left edge, score across to the top of the diamond. See dashed marks I have marked for you on my sample. All these score lines will be mountain folds. That is you bend the scored line back on itself to make a mountain. 7) At the 10cm mark on all sides score into the points on the diamond. See dashed areas on my sample. These scored lines and the scored lines for the diamond are all valley folds. That is you bend the scored line in on itself to make a little valley. Here is my sample with all the scored lines bent to their respective mountain and valley folds. 8) Now all you do is gently fold the card in on itself. Start on one side and then work your way around. If you have all the scored correct lines and folds it sort of winds in like a spring. It should look like this at the front and this at the back. Rub off all marked pencil dots. After I made my sample above for you I painted the card stock with white gesso, sprayed it with various sprays. Stamped and added embellishments to turn it into a steam punk card. I then layered and stuck it to a base card. As mine is fairly embellished it doesn't fold completely flat.

Ask, and ye shall receive...My first ever Tutorial. Let me know if the directions aren't clear enough! Use the Double Rectangle punch to make two holes in the place where you would like your “bow”. Thread your ribbon through your holes so that both ends are at the back of your cardstock: Cross the ends over at the back, and thread a loop of ribbon through to the front of your cardstock. Do one hole first: And then the other hole: Now cross the ends over at the back again, and thread the tails through to the front of your cardstock. One tail: Then the other tail: At this stage, you can adjust your bow until you are happy with the lengths of the loops and tails. This is what your bow should look like at the back: You can make this bow with any kind of ribbon. A thin, soft ribbon like the Organdy is the easiest! It sits flat, is attached to your card, and even the most bow-challenged person should be able to make this one look good!

I have been on a roller coaster ride for the last week around here. I had mentioned that my dad was having his second knee replacement surgery. Well we thought everything was going fine and they sent him home after lunch on Saturday. Around 7 p.m. he was running a high fever and was advised to go to the Emergency Room. As anyone who's ever gone to the ER knows, it will NOT be a fast trip. LOL Well, the fever became the least of our worries because he went in to an irregular heart rhythm. They ended up putting him in ICU and he's still there. The cardio doc says it's nothing life threatening, but obviously needs to be brought under control. Weekends aren't the best time to get lots of answers from the doctors so hopefully we'll know more today. I'd appreciate it if you would keep him and us in your prayers. One of the comments on my "Watchin' the Flutterby's" card last week was a request to show how to do the Out of the Box technique. There are lots of great tutorials out there on this technique, but since several of you asked for more tutorials I figured I'd throw my own version into the lot. This is a very simple technique that can really add a lot of interest to your card. So here we go. 1. Supplies. You'll need your stamped image, a die, scissors, and a pencil. 2. Place your die, cutting side up, over your image and decide where you'd like it to be. Placing the die cutting side up will make it a bit easier to judge where your cutting line will fall. 3. With your pencil, lightly trace along the inside edge of the die next to the parts that will be sticking out. You can trace along the whole inside circle, but it's not necessary. 4. Here's what you'll have after the tracing. 5. Remember, the line you just traced is NOT the cutting line. You're die will cut a little less than an 1/8" further out from the drawn line. In the photo you'll see that I penciled in a dotted line roughly an 1/8" out from my first line. This isn't necessary, but it sure helps you to cut more precisely. The arrows indicate where you will start cutting in. It's necessary to cut straight in or you will have a visible cut line in your image edge. 6. This photo show everywhere that I have determined I will need to cut. 7. Time to cut! If you follow the arrow down to the dotted line you should have an invisible cutting line when finished. Simply continue cutting until you reach your original traced line. That's as far in as you want or need to go. 8. Once you've made all your cuts you'll be able to slip the die under the cut outs and line it back up perfectly with your inside pencil marks. Make sure your die is now cutting side down. 9. Run the image and die through your cutting machine. 10. This is what you will end up with and then all you have to do is finish trimming around the hair and paw. 11. You'll end up with a trimmed, ready to use image with some parts sticking Out of the Box errrr....circle. hee hee Hope this was helpful. Have a great week!

I've recently rearranged my stamping room and office, combining them together (lovin' it!). While I was cleaning and reorganizing, I came across some old projects from when I first was introduced to Stampin' Up! 10 years ago. In addition, I came across a card online that reminded of this technique and I thought I'd bring it "back from the past"! My "old" project featured a technique that was shared with me at one of the first Stampin' Up! parties I attended. Stamping all three layers at the same time.

Everyone loves a little bit of pizzazz on special occasions, and these swing cards are just the thing to spice up your gift-giving. They are relatively easy to make and amazingly versatile when it comes to sizes and shapes.... you can even buy dies that will cut your entire swing card, fancy shapes and all! Today, though, I'm just going to show you how to do-it-yourself with a basic rectangular swing panel on a square shaped card. SWING CARD TEMPLATE 1. Start with a piece of cardstock measuring 51/2" x 71/2". 2. READ THIS INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY FIRST, THEN FOLLOW THE TEMPLATE ABOVE... Place the cardstock horizontally on your score board. You will be making four individual score lines - two at the top that are 1" apart, and two at the bottom that are also 1" apart. Each score line needs to be 11/2" long. As you can see in the photo below, I use a ruler as a guide so I know where to stop the score line. Start by scoring your first line at 31/4". It should only be 11/2" long measuring from the top of the cardstock. Now make another line in the same way at 41/4". 3. To make the bottom two score lines you will need to do the same thing, but measure 11/2" up from the bottom of the cardstock. Make your third score line at 31/4", and your fourth score line at 41/4". Refer to the template above. 4. Use a craft knife or trimmer to cut the swing panel. (Refer to the template for placement and length of cuts.) The first vertical cut is 21/2" long and starts 13/4" from the left hand side of the card and 11/2" from the top. The second vertical cut is 21/2" long and starts 43/4" from the left hand side of the card and 11/2" from the top. Now you need to cut horizontally from the top of the first vertical cut to the top of the second vertical cut WITHOUT cutting between the score lines. Do the same for the bottom section remembering not to cut between the score lines. Your card should now look like the photo below. 5. Fold and crease along the score lines. The card base is now complete and the centre panel should swing as it is opened and closed. 6. To decorate, cut some patterned papers for the inside of the card, removing the sections around the flip panel. You'll also need two panels for the swinging section of the card... one for the front and one for inside. 7. Stamp and colour the two image panels as desired. 8. Now adhere all the papers and panels in place. Remember to fully OPEN the card to place the inside panel. 9. Close the card and adhere the front panel in place. 10. Add any additional embellishments as desired. Stamps:
En venninne av meg hadde kjøpt et baby lommetørkle hun skulle gi bort i gave, men smart som hun er la hun merke til hvor flott lommetørkleet var brettet, og kopierte dette over til papir, før gaven ble gitt bort. En ny og fantastisk bretteteknikk har sett dagens lys. Denne brettingen kan brukes som et kort i seg selv, eller som et veldig flott skrivefelt inni kortet. I min tutorial i dag vil jeg vise eksempler på begge deler. Du trenger først og fremst kartong, mønsterark og ”All around the page” puncher for å være med å leke. ******* A friend of mine bought a baby napkin as a gift, and she noticed how beautiful the napkin was folded. Smart as she is, she copied the folding into paper before she gave away the napkin, and now I have a new and wonderful folding technique to show you. This folding can be used as a card, or as a very beautiful inside of a card. I will show you both in my tutorial today. What you need to play along is cardstock, patterned papers and “All around the page” punches. For å lage et kort med denne bretteteknikken bruker jeg en hel 12”/12” kartong. Preg og brett ved 3” og 9”, begge veier, som du ser jeg har gjort på bildet. ****** To make a card with this folding technique, I start with a 12” / 12” cardstock. Fold the cardstock by 3” and 9” both ways, like you can see in the picture. Brett ut igjen, og snu kartongen. Marker midten, og brett alle hjørnene inn mot midtpunktet. Brett ut igjen, og snu tilbake. ******* Undo the foldings, and turn the cardstock. Make a mark in the middle, and fold all the corners in against the center. Unfold it, and turn it again. Nå er tiden kommet for å lage en punch kant rundt hele kartongen. Løft sidene forsiktig opp, så vil brettene dine lage formen du ser på bildet. ******* Now make a nice punched edge around the whole cardstock. If you now help the card a little by lifting the sides carefully, your card will get the shape you can see in the picture. Lag skarpe bretter for å forme kortet som dette. ****** Make the folds sharp to shape the card like this. Nå gjenstår det bare å brette de små trekantene tilbake, og så er kortet ferdig formet. ******* Now all you have to do is to fold back the small triangles, and the shape of your card is done. Jeg bruker to mønsterark når jeg dekorerer kortet mitt. Matchende papirer med god kontrast i fargene gir et flott resultat. Det er på tide å kutte trekanter!! Jeg starter med å kutte kvadrater, og så kutter jeg disse til fire trekanter. Jeg skal prøve å lede dere gjennom det:) ****** To decorate my card I use two matching patterned papers. It is time to make triangles! I start by cutting squares, and then I cut the square into four triangles. I will try to guide you through this:) De store trekantene inni og utenpå kortet/ The big triangles innside and outside the card: Kutt to kvadrater på 5 ½”, og kutt så hver av disse til fire trekanter. Du har nå 8 trekanter i denne størrelsen. ******* Make two squares 5 ½”, and cut each of them into four triangles. You now have 8 triangles in this size. De små trekantene inni kortet/ The small triangles innside the card. Kutt 2 kvadrater på 3 ¼”, og kutt så hver av disse til fire trekanter. Du har nå 8 trekanter i denne størrelsen. ******* Make two squares 3 ¼”, and cut each of them into four triangles. You now have 8 triangles this size. Klaffene utenpå kortet / The flips outside the card Kutt et kvadrat på 2 ¾”, og kutt så denne til fire trekanter. Make one square 2 ¾”, and cut it into four triangles. Under klaffene utenpå kortet / Under the flips outside the card. Kutt et kvadrat på 3 ¾”, og kutt så denne til fire trekanter. Make one square 3 ¾”, and cut it into four triangles. Nå skal alle trekantene limes på rett plass på kortet. Her ser du mitt kort. Jeg har også laget et skrivefelt i midten, og stemplet swirler i de fire ledige hjørnene. ******* Now it is time to fasten the triangles in their right places. Here is my card. I have made a writing space in the middle of the card, and I have stamped some swirls in the free corners. Nå lager jeg et papirbelte for å lukke kortet. Her vil jeg også lime på motiv og pynt. Kartongen jeg bruker er 12” / 1 ½”, og her har jeg brettet den i to. ******* Now I will make a paper belt that will help me to close the card. This is also where I will add my image and decorations. I have used cardstock 12” / 1 ½”,and folded it in the middle. Neste skritt er å lime på et bånd, og dekke det med mønsterpapir. ******* Next step is to add a ribbon, and cover it with patterned paper. Her ser du hvordan jeg har limt på halve beltet på baksiden av kortet. ******* Here you can see how I have fastened half of the belt on the back of my card. Her er kortet mitt helt ferdig. ******* Here my card is all finished. Her er et annet kort jeg har laget på samme måte. ******* Here is another card I have made the same way. Om du vil bruke denne bretteteknikken som en innside til kortet ditt, så starter du med kartong på 8 ½” / 8 ½”, og gjør resten på samme måte. Du må selvfølgelig tilpasse trekantene til å passe den nye størrelsen. Her er et eksempel fra meg. ******* If you want to use this folding technique for an inside of your card, you just start with 8 ½”/ 8 ½” cardstock, and do the rest the same way as I have showed you. You will of course have to adjust the triangles to fit the new size. Here I have made an example. Jeg håper dere likte tutorialen, og lykke til med brettekortet. ******* I hope you liked my tutorial, and good luck with your folding card.

I have a fabulous display card to share with you today, featuring five little flags that project from the centre of the card, giving it it's name. Despite how it looks, it's not too difficult to create and will fold up nicely for posting in a standard envelope. 1. You'll need one piece of heavy patterned paper measuring 10" long x 6" high, one piece of cardstock measuring 8" long x 6" high, and five 2" squares of cardstock for the flags. Extra patterned paper and embellishments will be needed for decoration once the base is created. 2. Score the piece of cardstock and fold in half to form a 6" x 4" card. Set aside. 3. Place the patterned paper horizontally on your scoreboard and score at 2", 3", 4", 5", 6", 7" and 8". 4. Concertina fold the card, starting and ending with valley folds. You should have three peaks in the centre of the paper and a 2" flat section on each side. Refer to the photo below. 5. Apply adhesive on the back of the 2" flat sections on either side of the patterned paper. DO NOT apply any adhesive to the concertina section in the middle. 6. Line up the adhesive ends of the patterned paper with the sides of the card blank and press firmly in place. The concertina section should be free to fold and unfold as you open and close the card. Set aside. 7. It's easier to decorate the "flags" at this point rather than after you have secured them to the card. Add some patterned paper, stamps, images and other embellishments as desired. Keep in mind that any decorations you add should be flat as they will be included in the folds of the card. 8. Apply adhesive to the half of the "flag" that will attach to the card. Double check before you add any glues or tapes to make sure you're applying it to the correct side. 9. Start by adhering the centre "flag" halfway up the middle fold. I used a centring ruler to make sure I placed it correctly. 10. Now adhere two flags on the first fold, one flush with the top of the card, and one flush with the bottom. 11. Apply the last two flags on the last fold, one flush with the top of the card and one flush with the bottom. 12. Decorate the front of the card as desired. I used a digital image, coloured with copic markers, some ribbon and patterned paper. The card is quite bulky when complete, so you might like to create a belly band or ribbon tie to hold it closed. I think this fold would be fabulous for Christmas, decorated with lots of different sized snowflakes, glitter and snowmen. I hope you'll give it a try!
