June Class Projects, part 2

1/7/2016

0 Comments

 
So many fun projects we make in my classes...don't miss out on my next 2 opportunities to stamp together in July!  Scroll down for details and to RSVP....​

Picture
This card was inspired by an Austrian demonstrator named Claudia. She was using some colors and items to fulfill a challenge or two, and I made one the way she had, but decided that for my class I would make some changes.    I kept the same layout and most of the colors, but used Sweet Sugarplum embossed with the Elegant Dots embossing folder for the left panel, and Rich Razzleberry for the sweet sentiment.  

The Sweet Cupcake is a 3-step photopolymer set, and I used Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum and Pink Pirouette for the icing.  The base is stamped with Tip Top Taupe full strength, then layer #2 is Tip Top Taupe stamped off once, and the 3rd layer is Sahara Sand, stamped off once.  The candle is Pink Pirouette and Sweet Sugarplum (it only has 2 layers).  The awesome new Cupcake Cutouts coordinate perfectly with the stamp set and make assembly a breeze!
Picture
The Tip Top Taupe card base is cut at 4.25" x 11", and scored at 2.75" and 5.5".  The Whisper White Strip is 1.25" x 11" and scored exactly the same way.  Have you figured out the trick yet?  Fold the card in half, then fold back the 2.75" flap and put it to the left.  Do the same for the strip, but put the 2.75" section at the right.

We used the Happy Birthday sentiment from Cottage Greetings (yes, the kit was retired, but the stamp set is carried over - yay!) in Rich Razzleberry because it is the perfect size for the 2.75" section at the end.

Once you've glued down the 4" x 5.25" piece of Pink Pirouette, adhere the stamped end of the Whisper White strip.  Fold both the card and the strip closed, with the longer section of the strip resting on top of the 2.75" section of the card base.  Snip off an inch or so of the Whisper White strip and adhere to the 2.75" section of Tip Top Taupe.  Add the Sweet Sugarplum panel and the sweet sentiment.

Glue the candle to the Pink Pirouette panel, being sure to butt it up to the strip and to center on the Happy Birthday sentiment.  

Then close the card and adhere just the top edge of the cupcake bottom to the strip, centering it on the candle.  Put 2 Stampin' Dimensionals on the strip above the cupcake bottom and adhere the icing on top, again aligning with the candle. 

We opted to color over our icing with Clear Wink of Stella for a subtle, shimmery finish that just made the card!

I love this fancy fold because you can put a huge amount of dimension and wow factor into a card that displays really well and yet folds completely flat for mailing.
