Sliding Gate fold cards

 Sliding Gate fold cards

I have made a lot of gate fold cards, but this one is just too much fun!  

                                                        stamps/dies used:  SU Cup of Tea

stamps used: SU Way to Goat

stamps used:  Unity Harrison Hedgehog stamp set

Measurements:

gate fold card:  5 1/4" x 11"

score at 1 3/4" and 3 1/2", rotate the cardstock 180 degrees and repeat scoring measurements.

cut three strips at 1 3/4" x 4"

cut three strips of pattern paper at 3 3/4" x 1 5/8" (layer over cardstock strips)

layer for inside card:  3 3/4" x 5"

base card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Stamped image for strip that slides in the middle of the three strips can be anything you want.  You just have to remember, when adhering to middle strip that it does not interfere with the sliding of the strip.  See more gate fold cards here from 2011 to 2022 twisted gate fold card.  To see gate fold cards in between those years, please type gate fold in search box in the side bar.

Chicken Pop up panel cards

Chicken Pop up panel cards

                                                            stamps used:  SU stamp/die set

This is just a short post to show off the fun chickens stamps from Stampin' Up.  I do like them ... they are FUN! This card is a different size card: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" (folded), so I decided to make an envelope using my envelope maker.  I only had the spider DSP from SU that was purple.  An unusual match up but again fun!  Hope whoever I send these cards to agrees.

You can see more on the Pop up panel card here.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again soon.
 

Pop Up Panel card

 Pop Up Panel card

stamps used: Unity stamps/dies

This card is bigger than I usually make, because of the wreath stamp.  It is big and stamped alone on card, yes it would fit on an A2 card, but I wanted to cut it out to make this interactive card.  

Measurements:

A6 card - 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" (folded)

Instructions:

Here are my written out instructions.  Of course, I'm probably the only one who can understand them.  Just thought you would get a kick out of seeing my notes on making a card.  I actually saw this card on you tube but she didn't have any written instructions. Don't remember who's video it was, so if anyone knows let me know, and I will give proper credit.  Maybe somewhere online there are perfect written up instructions you could find, but these are mine for now.

Halloween Hidden Messages

 Halloween Hidden Messages

                                                     stamps used (above) - Stampin' Up

                                                    stamps used (above) - your next Stamp co.

This is a fun interactive card with a hidden message inside the card.  Saw this online at Dawn's stamping thoughts blog awhile back.  

Measurements and Instructions:

this card when folded is 5 1/2" x 4"

base card - 5 1/2" x 11 1/4"  score at 4" and 8"

inside card - 5 1/2" x 7"  score at 3 1/2" with 7" across the top.

Turn 5 1/2" x 7" with the 5 1/2" at the top, line up at 5/8" and cut to 5" (on cutting arm).  Flip over and repeat the same on the other side.  Cut off the two skinny strips. See pic below.

Fold all scroe lines on both cards.

When you fold the 5 1/2" x 7" card the bottom will not meet up to the score line ... this is the way it should be.

Cut out section of the bottom inside 5 1/2" x 7" card to create the window for the hidden message to show through.  Use the smaller of the dies to create the window.  When cutting out the window place the die toward the center but closer to the top of the section of the card.  Make a frame to go over the window.

To assemble the hidden message of the card:

1.  match up the score lines of the hidden message card and the base card.

2.  put adhesive only on the top section of the hidden message card...that is the full section.  The bottom of the hidden message card that has the cut out sections should be adhesive free.

3.  adhere the top of the hidden message card to the top inside of the base card.

4.  put adhesive only on the two sides of the bottom of the base card, next to where the cut out sections of the hidden message card is, leaving the bottom of the hidden message card free of adhesive to be able to move up and down to reveal the message.

5.  fold the bottom of the base card up to adhere to the base card.

Now you should be able to open and close the card to reveal the hidden message.

I created a smaller version so I wouldn't have to use a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock.

stamps used:  Stampin' Up

Smaller version uses 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock.

base card - 5 1/4" x 11"  score at 3 1/4" and 7 1/8"

hidden message inside card - 5 1/4" x 6 3/4"

This card when folded is 5 1/4" x 4"

Fold inside card in half and measure in approximately 1/2" on both sides ... cut away the same way as in the above picture of Inside card template.  all the other instructions are the same.

Tag punch cards

Tag Punch cards

This card idea is not new; it has been around for a long time.  I just didn't own any of the tag topper punches but I do now.  You do a search on you-tube or pinterest to find lots of ideas on this card style.

above is a look at the card before it has any stamped images.  It's a fun card where the front is shorter then the back so you close it by tying the two tags together.

stamps used:  Stampin' Up

For this card you can position the tag closure just about any where on the card, as you can see with these two cards.

Basic instructions:

base card:  8 1/2" x 5 1/2"  folded in half to create A2 note card.

inside:  color cardstock 5 1/4" x 4"

white cardstock 5" x 3 3/4"

outside panel - 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"

pattern paper - 2 1/4" x 5"

Line up base card at 2 3/4" on 5 1/2" side ..... make a pencil mark on top and bottom.

Slide the base card into tag topper punch ..... lining up pencil mark at the center of the tag topper itself and punch.

Flip card and repeat the process.

Cut off excess cardstock from the sides of the punched out tag.

On one side score the tag and fold.

Line the edge of the card up at 4 1/4" then score and fold.  This creates your base card.

Once this is done all that is left is stamp and decorate as you desire.

Tissue Pocket Card - GIU blog hop

(see winners below)

Today is the GIU (Growing In Unity) blog hop for when I was one of the GIU gals back in January of this year.  

Here is the card I am showcasing today ... it's a Tissue Pocket card.  The photo shows the card closed because you can only open it once to reveal the fun surprise inside.

stamps used:  Unity stamp co. Something Magical stamp set

It's not a hard card to make but it does take a little patience because you are working with a one ply tissue to create the pocket.  I saw this card at Maymay Made It blog.

Here is a picture of the preparation to create this card.  

1.  stamp a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square card with a saying then mount onto another card that is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2".  

2.  on the back of 3 1/2" sq. stamped card tape 3 strings that will hang with stamped images adhered to all the strings.  This will be clear once you watch the short video at the bottom of this post or at my youtube channel.
3.  get a regular tissue and ply it apart because you are only using one ply of the tissue.

 here is the video:

here is a fun look at some friends opening this Tissue pocket card.

Remember this is a GIU blog hop so please continue to see what the rest of the gals have to show you.  Unity will have a prize drawing at the end of this blog hop so comment on all the blogs you visit to be included in for the prize.
Here is the list:

HoneyPop card

stamps used:  Inky Antics Bumblebee HoneyPop

This type of 3D card is fun, and easy to create with the clear stamp set for easy placement of the images.  All you need is a sharp pair of scissors to cut out the honeycomb paper to create the pop up piece inside the card.

Thanks for stopping by and comments are always welcome.
