4-1/4" x 4-1/4" Trifold Tree Card

I made this card for Father's Day. A little late to get to Maine in the mail tomorrow, but better late than never! I think my dad and stepdad [they each get their own...I know, lame that they get the same one. The message inside is personal and heartfelt for each, though.] I think they will appreciate the effort.

This layout looks fancy but is super easy. Here are the specifications for the layers.

Chocolate Chip - 10-3/4" x 4-1/4", scored at 4-1/4" and 8-3/4" on the long side

Large DSP - 4" x 4"

Small DSP - 2" x 4"

Layering varies depending on main image

Tips:

• Cut and score the Chocolate Chip [CC] cardstock for the card base. Fold using your Bone Folder.
• Layer the large piece of Close To Cocoa Designer Series Paper [DSP] onto the bottom of the card and the small piece to the top.
• Ink your tree image with Old Olive Ink and marker in the CC for the branches and trunk.
• Use the Paper Piercing guide and mat from the Crafter's Tool Kit to pierce holes in the corners. Highlight with CC Marker.
• Layer tree image. Adhere using Dimensionals [line them across the bottom only].

Fresh Cuts Box and Cards Class

Dear Stampers,

I have a confession to make....I have fallen right in love with the sneak peek stamp set from the upcoming catalog [to be released in mid-August]! The Fresh Cuts stamp set is gorgeous AND it comes with coordinating Fresh Cuts Notes that are die-cut! AND, SU! is giving you a price break on the notes when you purchase the set in June!

With that said, I think it is a fantastic time to have a class! June is packed for so many already, so I won't hold the class until JULY. But, we can only order this set in JUNE, so my sign up and registration fee deadline is by Thursday, JUNE 26th . Here are the details:

Fresh Cuts Box and Cards Class
When: Saturday, July 19th, 1pm to 4pm
Where: 4R Deca Circle, Derry, NH
Register By: June 26th
Class Fee: $45
Included with class:
Fresh Cuts Stamp Set [Yours to keep!]
Fresh Cuts Notes and Envelopes
Build-A-Flower [Yours to keep! It includes the tin and the remainder of the die-cut adhesive flowers.]

Full color instructions

This is going to be a fun, interactive class. Of course we will have goodies and music and a MYSTERY HOSTESS! So bring your tools and come on out!

***Sign up a friend [that I have not met] and you both will receive a special hand-stamped gift from me!***

P.S. I have attached a picture of the samples I created for the class. I hope you like them. So far everyone that has seen them has! Please note: I am still creating the box [not too thrilled with the one I came up with so far :-(], so keep in mind that the picture does not contain that.

Fresh Cuts Die-Cut Notes 4x4 card

I LOVE THIS SET!
I LOVE THESE DIE-CUTS!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW CATALOG IN AUGUST!



I made this card using the Brand NEW Fresh Cuts Stamp Set and the matching Die-cut 4x4 cards. Through the month of June, SU! is running a promotion giving you the chance to purchase the stamp set for $21.95 and get the coordinating Fresh-Cut Notes for $5! I couldn't pass it up!

Watch for a class I will be annoucing soon. Where you will be....well...details to come SOON!

FYI: The die-cut cards are on Whisper White CS. I colored this one Brilliant Blue by rubbing the ink pad directly onto the CS.

Instructions:

• First, make your Build-A-Brad by sticking a 1/2" circle flower from the Build-A-Flowers[Wild Wasabi circle with White Flower] onto the brad base. Rub Crystal Effects [C.E.] onto the top and dip into Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. Add a tad more C.E. and adhere the "bubble". Allow to dry while you create the rest of the card.
• Rub the Brilliant Blue Classic Ink.
• Stamp randomly in Versamark with the "flowered vine" stamp. Dust with Crystal Clear Embossing Powder over your Powder Pal and heat with Heat Tool.
• Tear 1/2" off the side with the Tearing Edge and remove the die-cut petals.
• Add a white Build-A-Flower accent to the middle and punch [careful not to rip the CS] with the 1/8" Circle Punch. Add Build-A-Brad creation.
• Stamp the biggest stamp in the set onto 3-15/16" x 3-15/16" Wild Wasabi CS and adhere to the card.
• Tie Wild Wasabi Double Stitched Ribbon to card.
• You are DONE!

Enjoy!
