Welcome back to another bi-weekly Cardz 4 Guyz challenge. Our host for challenge # 336, Julie, chose Festive Creatures for the theme. When you finish here, I hope you will visit the challenge site to see the projects posted by each design team member. We’d love for you to play along and post your projects in our gallery!

Here’s my bookbinding card:

You can see additional bookbinding card posts here and here.

Measurements:

• The Cherry Cobbler base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 3-1/4 and 4-1/4 inches to create a bookbinding fold.
• The Old Olive mat measures 5-3/8 by 3 inches.
• The cute DSP (designer series paper) measures 5-1/4 by 2-7/8 inches.
• Trim a piece of coordinating DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap. Punch a 1-inch circle of DSP for the envelope seal, which then gets run through your XYRON create-a-sticker,
• There’s a coordinating piece of Old Olive DSP under the Cherry Cobbler ribbon. It measures 7/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
• The white cardstock for the inside measures 3 by 5-1/4 inches.

Assembly:

Here’s a close-up picture of the open card:

• The only place I used dimensionals was under the sentiment square. I used liquid glue or tear & tape for the rest of the elements.
• Adhere the Old Olive cardstock to the base of the card.
• Adhere the cute critters DSP to the Old Olive cardstock.
• Adhere the strip of DSP to the left hand bookbinding part of the base of the card.
• Wrap a piece of ribbon around the 3/4 inch piece of cardstock and DSP and tie a bow.
• Use at least two pieces of tear & tape to the inside of the bookbinding piece of the cardstock and burnish well using a bone folder.
• The sentiment comes from the Brightest Glow stamp set. I stamped it using Cherry Cobbler ink on white cardstock.
• Crop the sentiment using a square die from the Stylish Shapes die set.
• Then, run the square through your Cut $ Emboss machine using one of the Basics embossing folders.
• Outline the sentiment square using a Cherry Cobbler Stamping Write Marker.
• Adhere to the front of the DSP using dimensionals.
• Adhere the white cardstock to the inside of the card.
• With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a Peachy Day!
