Sliding Barn Door

This is the second card in my series of cards made using the Barn Door stamp set and the Sliding Door Framelits.  This one is the traditional use of the set with the door sliding back and forth across the front of the card revealing two different art pieces.

I found a really helpful video on Youtube that explains a lot about how this card is made.  You can view that video HERE.  She does an excellent job of explaining how to make the card.  She doesn't give measurements though and she uses pennies while I prefer to use washers.  

Check out my printable instructions with measurements and a supplies list on my TAMS site.

Here is my version of the card:

I really liked the gray and black on white and the Pinewood Planks embossing folder made it look even better.

I hope you like the card.  Thanks for stopping by.  Please consider following my blog or becoming a customer of mine.  It's easy just use the links you see to the right of my post.

Thanks,

Kate

Stampin' Up! Barn Door - Dutch Door

I finally got out my Barn Door stamp set and Sliding Door Framelits out today.  I wanted to use this set to make as many different styles of cards possible.  The versatility of this stamp set isn't so much in how many different configurations you can get although there are a few but more in the way the door can be embellished.

Today's card is made to look like a Dutch Door.  I saw a similar card and thought this is  a fun variation to the sliding door option.  

This turned out really cute and I share how I made it on my TAMS site.  There you will be able to see and print step by step instructions and a supplies list.  

I made this card a flat card, it isn't a standard folded card.  I wanted it to stand though so I created an easel back in my Silhouette Cameo and put an easel back on it.

I hope you enjoyed the card and that you visited my TAMS site.

Tropical Waterfront Seaside

Getting ready for another workshop and as usual I like to feature a particular stamp set and provide a variety of ways the set can be utilized.  I know that my customers want to get as much from their supplies as they can so this helps them see a variety of ways a stamp set can be used.  I don't have the time to create half a dozen original designs so I CASE some of my favorites from the internet.  

This first one I cased from Georgia at www.stampingeorgia.com.  This was a fun card to make and easy too.

And a little something on the inside too.

These are the supplies used to make this card:

Creative Circle Blog Hop - 3D Bird Feeder & Stampin' Up! Cards

Well, it looks like spring is finally going to arrive.  I know I'm rushing it as it isn't here officially until March 21st but we have at least had some sunshine this past week.  What better way to welcome warmer weather than with a 3D Bird Feeder card holder and some Stampin' Up! cards featuring, what else, BIRDS!

Our group leader Liz Holloway has designed a wonderful file to use with our Silhouette Cameos or some other cutter if you don't have a Silhouette.  It was super easy to assemble and when the base is made using the backing cards from Stampin' Up! dsp packages it makes it very sturdy too.

Here is the suite of products I made to share with you today.  Read on for a few more details.

Aren't these just so much fun?!  I had fun creating the bird feeder and deciding what to put on the outside to dress it up.  I immediately thought of the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-Bration addtional items catalog.    

Let me share some more pics of the bird feeder:  You can click on each pictures to link to a full size image.

The roof of the feeder attaches with magnets built into the house and the roof so you can actually hang it if you want to.  Let's take a look at the inside and see how it looks hanging up too.

  

As you can see I used the silver stripe foil design for the roof and the perches and the leaf flourish for the front, back and sides.  I then added some flourishes using the Flourish Thinlits dies item#141478 $29.00 in the general catalog cutting them from gold foil.  

To attach these delicate items I use the Xyron 5.5" sticker maker.  Running it through and the using a stylus to trace around the edges and in the cutout portions so that is comes up cleanly.  This makes attaching them soooo super easy.

Now on to the cards.  Sometimes my creative juices just aren't flowing.  When that happens I challenge myself with some inspiration.  I found a site called My Create Ink Color Lab.  On this site all the current Stampin' Up! colors are listed and you can use it to generate color combinations.  My favorite button on this site is the "surprise me" button.  Just click it and it pops up 5 colors to use.  I did that for each of my cards.  Then I have a book of card sketches that show in just black and white outlines different layouts for cards so I went to that to get some ideas for layouts.  The title of the sketch book is 101 Creative Card Sketches and can be found HERE.

I call card number one Tutti Frutti Best Birds Flourish.  Details of how it's made and a supplies list can be found on my TAMS site.

I titled card number two Feathery Friends and the supplies and instructions are on my TAMS site.

 

       

Card number 3 is titled Petal Palette Petals and More.  Instructions and supplies list is on my TAMS site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the inside of this card.  Quite often I will place a small image or die cut on the inside of the card just to carry the theme there.  

I do hope you've liked the projects I shared with you today.  Be sure to visit my These Are My Stamps web site where you can find card instructions and supplies lists for many of the cards you see on my blog.
