Rock the Farm

farmgirl1Ahhh… blooming daffodils and perennials coming up – it must be spring.

Here is a little pocket card (perfect for a gift of seeds).

The image is from the Rock the Farm cling set from the Greeting Farm. (The sentiment is from the Penny Black Salutations set).

 

 

 

 

 

gffarmmarkers The Anya farmer girl image is colored with Copics. (Anya is so fun to color!!). Here are the markers I used in case inquiring minds want to know.  (Yikes!  E-37 is upside down).

 

 

farmgirl2insideTo make the pocket card, I used a piece of cardstock cut 12″ x 4 1/4″ and scored it at 2″ and 7 1/2″.

Fold the 2″ portion up to make the pocket and the larger flap over the top to make the card front. My pocket is decorated with a brown cardstock strip punched with the Threading Water border punch. I added the strip to the pocket back and then adhered to the two sides of the pocket. I also decorated the card front with the same punched strip.

To create the sentiment, I pressed my brown ink pad all over my Double Ended Tag Die before I cut and embossed it – that gave it the brown tag edges.  The brads I had were a very light blue – so I darkened them up a bit by coloring them with my BG-72 marker.

The little heart flower inside is alo part of the Rock the Farm set.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Birthday party and challenges. 

I miss all the excitement already!

A reminder – and another snowman

Just a quick reminder that you only have till Friday to enter the drawing for a free Homemade Holiday stamp kit worth $29.99.  All you need to do is post some pictures of all those nifty Holiday projects you’ve been making.

You can see all the contest details HERE.

ecgsnowmangiftcard We got even more snow on Friday – 4 inches total!  Amazing, before Thanksgiving even.  Unfortunately, I still have not finished raking my leaves.  I still have bulbs to plant.  Yikes!

So here is another snowman card.  I used the Letter from Santa Cling set again and the same paper as the last one, but this one is a gift card holder card.  I wanted to get 3 out of each 12″x12″ sheet of paper – so I cut them only 4″ wide and them mounted it on a 4 1/4″ by 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock to get them to A2 size.  It makes them a little more sturdy too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ecgsnowmangiftcardin I colored the snowman with Copic markers and added some glitter with my Quickie Glue Pen.

The 12″x12″ paper is folded to make a pocket to hold the gift card.  I added a place to write a message because the inside of the card was so dark.

If you would like to see a tutorial for making these gift card holders, you can click HERE.  Just keep in mind that if you want the cardstock backing, you need to cut the paper 4″ wide score it at 2 1/2″ and at 7 3/4″ (instead of 2 1/2″ and 8″).

 

We had a great time at our little stamping event this past Friday.  It was sad that several people couldn’t make it after all – but the ladies that came were wonderful!  We had fun, ate some yummy goodies and raised $100 for Lutheran World Relief.  All good stuff.

Home Made Holidays Project 6 – Gift Card Holder

Yes, I’m still at it.  The Homemade Holidays kit is really big – so its easy to make a bunch of projects.

webgiftcardholder Project number 6 is a Gift Card Holder made with one of the 4 clear pillow boxes included in the kit. This holder makes the gift a little more significant than just placing the gift card inside a greeting card.

The insert in the pillow box holds the gift card on one side and the greeting and to/from information on the other side.  The picture mounted on the front of the box hides the gift card until the box is opened.

 

 

 

 

 

webgiftcardholderopen Supplies from Kit:
  • Popcorn Tree and Holly Sprig Stamps
  • Clear pillow box
  • Holly Jolly Stripe paper
  • Maraschino, Leapfrog, Harvest and Announcement Cream cardstock
  • Button
  • Raffia
Other Supplies:
Instructions:

Stamp Popcorn Tree in Rich Cocoa on a 2 3/8” by 3 3/8” piece of cream cardstock and color as desired.   (See THIS post if you are curious about how I colored Popcorn Tree.)  Antique the edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink using a duster brush.

Adhere to a green matte (4” by 2 ¾”). Adhere to a red matte (3” x 4 ¼”). Paper Pierce the bottom of the green matte using the Design Ruler and create “stitches” with the Inkessentials white pen. Thread a piece of raffia through a button and adhere to the upper left corner.

Put a drop of crystal effects on each cranberry to make them round and shiny. Set aside to dry.

To make the insert that holds the gift card, cut Harvest 5 ½” by 3 ¼”. Cut green 2 5/8” by 3 7/8”. Center and adhere to the Harvest cardstock.

Adhere two punched or cut corners on the lower left and lower right of the green – putting Oh So Sticky Tape on the bottom and side only. As above, use the design ruler and white pen to create stitching. The gift card fits inside the corners.

On the back side of the box insert, add a greeting and a to/from. Adhere Stripe paper slightly smaller than the insert. Stamp a greeting and to and from using Sentiment Collection I on a 2 ¼” by 3 ¼” piece of Harvest. Stamp and color Holly Sprigs at the base. Matte on Green and adhere to the back of the insert.

Assemble the pillow box and slide the insert inside. Place foam tape on the sides of the tree image. Adhere the image so it hides the gift card in the box.

And that’s it!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday.  This year the Fall color is just incredible here.  Even driving to the grocery store is a treat.
