Bookmark Card

Have you ever wanted to send someone a card, who isn't really a "card person"?  Maybe you have a friend who loves to read!  This card is perfect!  It's a bookmark card. The design is simple, you will need the following:

 

Whisper White Cardstock 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"

Basic Black Card stock 5 1/4" X 4"

Pool Party Card stock 2" X 4"

Sale-a-Bration DSP 1 3/4" X 4"

 

For the Bookmark:

Whisper White Card Stock 2" X 4"

Sale-a-Bration DSP 2 1/2" X 1 3/4"

Scrap Whisper White to stamp your sentiment

 

I used the Chevron Border Punch on my piece of Basic Black Card Stock and then used SNAIL to adhere it to my White Base.  Attach your SAB DSP on your Pool Party Cardstock with SNAIL and then run a piece of Sticky Strip on 3 sides of that piece.  This creates the pocket your bookmark with stay in.  Using your Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, punch the top of your White Card Stock.  Adhere your DSP and then Stamped Sentiment to that piece.  Tie some ribbon through the top of your tag punch and it's a Book Mark!!!!

Party because you and your guests will earn a FREE SAB Product with every $50 purchase!  And no, there are no limits!!  Spend $100 and get 2 FREE items and so on!  Plus if you host a qualifying party of $300 or more you will get an EXTRA $30 in Hostess Dollars!!  There is no better time to host a party, than Sale-a-Bration!  You can do a book party or virtual party if you aren't up for having an in-home party!  Contact me today and we will get you set up! 

 

In addition to all of the excitement with SAB, Stampin' Up! also introduced two new items this morning, one is a new Card Kit and the other is the Texture Boutique.  You can see the images below and click on them for more information or to order!  The new Texture Boutique is a lightweight alternative to the Big Shot with the exception that it only does Embossing Folders.  But, at only $29.95 it's a super awesome deal!  When you are ready to take the plunge and get the Big Shot you can do all kinds of die cutting and such, but the Texture Boutique is a great alternative if you are only interested in embossing!  So be sure to check out these two new products and as always, let me know if you need any help or have any questions!

Only 4 more days!!

We are getting closer to SAB!  This adorable card uses a new stamp set and punch that will be available during SAB!!  I combined them with the Make a Wish sentiment from Perfect Pennants for a super cute Birthday card!! 

Super Cute Treat Box

This cute little treat box starts with an old standby, the 2,4,6,8 box.  If you have never done one, they are the most simple and easy to remember box because the measurements are in the name!  You start with a piece of cardstock, or in this case Designer Series Paper, that measures 5 1/2 X 8 1/2.  Using your Simply Scored (although you could certainly do this on the Stampin' Trimmer as well) with the long side at the top score at 2", 4", 6" and 8".  Turn it with the short side on the top and score at 2".  Easy, right!?  Then you want to trim the "small rectangle" that is created, leave the longer rectangle, but completely remove the 2" X 1/2" rectangle that is created.  Then just trim up all those score lines, place some sticky strip on the skinny (1/2") rectangle, fold over to create your box.  Normally at this stage you would just fold up and adhere the bottom of your box and then decorate, but to create this cute little treat box you want to fold the box up so that its one piece that's 2" wide.  Slide the top into your Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and punch.  It will take a little more effort than normal of course, but it isn't difficult.  Once you have the top punched then you can continue to put the rest of the box together by adhering the bottom up.  Then all you have to do is take some ribbon and thread it through the holes, and gently pull the box closed and tie a knot or bow, decorate and that's it!  A super cute Valentine's Day Project!!  I accented mine simply with the Valentine's Day sentiment "Be Mine" from A Round Array in Melon Mambo ink to match my ribbon of course!
