Circles for Cardz 4 Galz # 235
Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge # 235. Our host, Caz, chose Circles for the theme. I thought outside the box and used some Latte Love DSP (designer series paper), the stamp and die sets.
When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Here’s my circle card:
I thought the inside sentiment just called for a gift card pocket, so I added on on the left side of the inside.
Measurements:
- Trim a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock to 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- Trim a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- The slice of Lost Lagoon under the ribbon measures 1/2 by 4 inches
- Trim a piece of the circle DSP pattern from the Latte Love DSP to 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- You need another piece of this DSP pattern measuring 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- The gift card triangle piece of DSP came from a 4 by 5-1/4 inch rectangle, trimmed on the diagonal
- The bottom piece also comes from Latte Love and measures 4 by 1-3/4 inches
- Punch a 1-inch circle from the striped DSP for the envelope seal, and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker
- Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- I used a piece of scrap Pecan Pie for the sentiment coffee cup on the front of the card
- You need a length of ribbon cut to 4-1/2 inches long and another cut to 3 inches long
Stamping & Cropping:
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces of the card together
- Using Lost Lagoon ink, stamp the outline of the coffee cup on the scrap piece of Pecan Pie cardstock
- Crop the coffee cup using the Latte Love die
- After rubbing the cropped coffee cup down with your embossing buddy, stamp the sentiment using VersaMark ink
- Add dimensionals to the back of the coffee cup making sure they will straddle the ribbon
- Cover the sentiment with white embossing powder and heat set it
- Stamp the same coffee cup using Lost Lagoon ink on the white cardstock
- Stamp off the coffee and cream center using Pecan Pie ink
- Using Lost Lagoon ink, stamp the inside sentiment
- I had a smudge on the bottom of the card, so I stamped some circles on the bottom of the inside panel
Assembly:
- Unless otherwise noted, I used liquid glue to adhere all the pieces of the card
- Adhere the trimmed pieces of DSP to the front of the card with the striped pattern on the bottom
- Attach the ribbon to the strip of Lost Lagoon cardstock according to the pictures below:
- Adhere the ribbon strip to the top of the striped DSP
- Adhere the coffee cup with dimensionals
- Next, adhere the combined DSP front to the Lost Lagoon mat, which gets adhered to the Pecan Pie base
- Adhere the white cardstock to the inside of the card
- Add multipurpose liquid glue to the left and bottom of the left inside of the card
- Make sure you only add a thin line of liquid glue so that the borders only are adhered so you can insert the gift card.
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
