Coffee Slimline Trifold Card

Hello crafty friends ...

Today I'm sharing another card for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop, and this one is a Slimline Trifold!

I had been working ahead, so this card was actually made in June and was the first Slimline Trifold card I'd made. I was so excited about the layout though, and wanted to share the idea with all of you long before November ... so I did create others to share right away. I'm glad I did, as lots of people have made them now and let me know how much they appreciate the idea.

I have a short walk through of today's card on YouTube as well:

The 'to go' cup is a retired set from Stampin' Up but I just love it and keep using it. Actually, pretty much everything on this card is from my stash! 

When you open the left flap, a sentiment is revealed ...

... and then you open the right flap for another sentiment!

Here are the measurements, if you would like to make one of my Slimline Trifold Cards:

• Cut card stock 8.5 x 8.5"
• Score on the left side at 2" and the right side at 3"
• Decorate panels as desired
• The decorative panel on the front is 3" wide, and can be as long as you would like. This one is 5" long. Note - this is for the card stock matting layer, the patterned paper is 1/4" smaller, at 2.75 x 4.75".

I hope you will check out the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - there is always a ton of inspiration! I'll be back tomorrow with one more card for the hop.

Slimline Fall Coffee Pop Up Card

Hello crafty friends ...

I'm back today with another card for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop, and I have a walk through of my pop up card on YouTube. 

I had so much fun making this card and the front uses a stencilled background, a sticker and a digital stamp. 

Here is a peek at the pop up inside, with a stamped sentiment, a Stamploration Coffee word die at the top of the white panel, and a to-go cup on one of the pop up arms from the Upsy Daisy Pop Up by Karen Burniston. I also added a little more stencilling using a Slimline Stencil from Stamplorations. That is where the fun clear sticker on the card front came from too.

This 'to go' cup by Stampin' Up is long retired but I still love it and continue to use it. I really like all the height and dimension you get with the Upsy Daisy Pop Up and I'm having fun using it with Slimline cards these days. 

I will be back tomorrow with another coffee themed card for the Blog Hop.  😊

Interactive Card Duo for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends ...

Your Next Stamp is one of the sponsors for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop so I wanted to make a card to share using YNS products. As you can see, I ended up making two! I have more information on how to be entered to win a YNS prize at the end of my post!!

{{{I have a YouTube Video showing more details on the cards, which you can also find HERE.}}}

I've had this coffee themed paper for a couple of years - it's a retired pattern from SU. While I tend to hoard special papers like this that I know I can't get any more of - this time I didn't hoard and actually used some of it to line the envelope flap. That adds such a nice touch to a card, don't you think?

I started out by cutting the YNS Photo Booth Panel Die from a woodgrain paper and decided to make a shaker card. The mugs and to-go cups were fussy cut from a different patterned paper in the package, and I thought it would be fun to add a different face stamp from the Oh Shiitake stamp set to each of the 4 squares.  Some sequins and filler and my shaker element was finished.

The fun sentiment is from the Washi Tape Sentiments, a YNS stamp set that is always on my stamping table because of the great sentiments included. I die cut the caffeine sentiment with the Washi Tape Sentiments die, and adhered it over the centre section of the Photo Booth Panel.

Here is a peek at the inside with a Funny Bones stamp, more fussy cut elements and one more stamped face.

When I was finished the card, I had the woodgrain fallaway pieces from the Photo Booth Panel Die on my stamping table. Hmmmmm - then I turned them over (the patterned paper is double sided) and the brown and white coffee print seemed like the perfect print to make a second card. I simply die cut one more Photo Booth Panel from white card stock and inlay at the print pieces into the openings.

I added some YNS Gumdrops, then pulled out a couple of (non YNS) coffee themed sets from my stash to finish it off.

The Scalloped oval was adhered to the card panel with an Action Wobble so it bobs and wobbles around. So fun!

Finally, here is a peek at the inside of the second card:

Slimline Card for Passover

Hello crafty friends ...

Today I'm sharing another Slimline card, this time a card for Passover. I have been re-organizing in my craft room, and came across this lovely patterned file folder that I didn't need anymore. As I was putting it in the recycle bin, I realized I could probably use it for a card.

I used a Slimline die set from Trinity Stamps that cuts the three stitched windows, then popped each of the windows back in their spot with foam tape. I like the subtle dimension this gives the card.  It's hard to see in the photo, but the centre square has a Star of David on it.

Finally, here is a peek at the inside ...

Supplies:
Pink and white card stocks
Patterned card stock is from an old file folder
Star of David die - MFT Stamps
Slimline - Stitched, Trinity Stamps
Fishtail Banner - MFT Stamps
Pesach stamp - Papertrey Ink
Joys of Passover - CAS-ual Fridays
Butterfly Punch - Stampin' Up

Card size - 3.5 x 8.5", fits in a #10 Business Envelope

Hanukkah Train Pivot Panel Card

Hello my crafty friends

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and today I'm sharing another Hanukkah card made with the new Train Pivot Panel by Karen Burniston. Wednesday's Hanukkah card was also made with the same die and paper package but it looks completely different than this one! How fun to see the versatility you can get from a single die set.

The front is nice and simple - I cut one of the 4 x 6" journal cards from a sheet in the paper package and added some gold gel pen to the candle flames. I tied it with Bakers Twine and adhered it to my patterned card base.

Here is the inside! I made this card a little bigger than an A2 as I wanted to add a double row of the printed tiles from the patterned paper on each side. I also added a few more stickers from the package, and gold gel pen highlights on the train. The Train Tracks are from the new Train Elements and they are the perfect accessory die for the Train Pivot Panel.

Whenever I give anyone a card made with a Pivot Panel, they turn it to see what it looks like from the top - so I took a photo of that view for you. Such fun dimension!

Since I have a couple of Hanukkah stamp sets, I pulled them out and used Karen B's idea of adding dreidels to the train cars. So fun!

I am including a little YouTube video for you so you can see the card in action.

Supplies:

Patterned paper, journal card, stickers - Happy Hanukkah, Photo Play

1106 Train Pivot Panel - Karen Burniston

Stitched Rectangle dies - Your Next Stamp

White, navy, black card stocks

Sakura gold gel pen

Stamps - 8 Happy Nights, CAS-ual Friday Stamps

Symbol on train engine - Paper Smooches

1107 Train Elements - Karen Burniston

Water Brush

Card size - 4-1/2 x 6"
