CardMaker, Teresa Collins and Xyron Blog Hop!

Welcome to another fun day of the CardMaker, Teresa Collins and Xyron Blog Hop!  I've enjoyed seeing what the team members have been creating and hope you have as well.  I have adapted a tutorial for a Building Block Card and changed the dimensions to accommodate the size of the Teresa Collins stenciled letters.  My version makes a tall and skinny card.



1.  Cut a piece of cardstock 8 1/4" x 12".  With the long side against the top of the scoring board, score at 4" (mountain fold) and 8" (valley fold).




2.  Pull the valley fold up like a mountain fold, and cut 1 3/4" in at the following intervals:
       1/4"
      2"
      2 1/4"
      4"
      4 1/4"
      6"
      6 1/4"
      8"
      8 1/4"


3.  Add a score line to the ends of each of the wide blocks ( at the 6 1/4" and 9 1/2") and fold as shown.  Ink the edges of all of the folds.


4.    Use a spatula to spread the Teresa Collins Basically Essential Modeling Paste over the letters from the Basically Essential Stencil to spell your sentiment.  Do this over a heavy or textured paper (DCWV Burlap Paper Stack was used).  Allow to dry and cut out the letters.
 5.  Decorate the panels with patterned paper.  Use the Xyron 5" Creative Station to apply adhesive to the panels.
Hint:  If you accidentally get adhesive in the wrong place, use the Xyron Adhesive Eraser Cube to remove the boo boo. (This is also found in the Teresa Collins/Xyron Adhesive Kit)

 6.  Cut letters from the patterned paper, ink the edges and apply adhesive using the Xyron Mini Sticker Maker.
 7.  Add ribbon to the card using the Xyron 1/4" Double Sided High Tack Tape.

 8.  Die cut flowers - cut two of the largest flowers from WorldWin's Spring Water paper.  Cut the next two sizes using the WorldWin Translucent Vellum White Plaid.  Ink the edges and shape.  Add a Zva Creative Mini rose to the center of the flower. Assemble  using the Xyron/Teresa Collins Clear Hold Adhesive. 


9.  Cut panels for the back of the card (for a place to write your message) using WorldWin Beargrass Petallics Cardstock.  Ink the edges and adhere using the Xryon 5" Creative Station.


10.  Finish assembling the card as shown.

Fondue Fun


I have my great-grandmother to thank for this picture.  She made a scrap-book for me when I was little, and had this picture, along with art work that I had colored at school, in it.  I think I learned from her at an early age to document the little things in life.


I had so much fun using my Cheery Lynn Designs dies on this page.  The Sunflowers are really easy to make, but add so much warmth and dimension. My small flowers were made with the Miniature Rose.  I used the Garden Gate, turned on it's side to ground my flowers. For greenery, I used my ever faithful Fanciful Flourish and Dimensional Large Leaves #1.


My photo is framed with the Mini Pearl Rectangle Mega Doily - it is so cool to be able to adjust your cut to get the size frame that you need. If you're not sure how to do this, check out Mike's Reflections Boutique Workshop Video to learn more about this fantastic series of dies. My large doily is the Mega Polynesian Sail.


Under my photo, I added some fancy borders to my layers of patterned paper, using the Daisy Lace Bracelet and the Dancing Doily Lace Border.

We would love to invite you to play along with the weekly Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge.  The theme this week is celebrations.  We will be choosing our top three favorite entries, as well as awarding a $20 gift certificate to one talented scrapper.

Friends Forever - That's the Ticket!

I have fun trying to re-purpose stamps, so for this Friend card, I combined 3 different stamp sets from JustRite Stampers - The Cardinal is from Backyard Birds, "Friends" is a section of a stamp from Christmas Stamp Ensemble and "Forever" is from a section of a stamp from the Wedding Nested Sentiments. I cut the tickets from my Cricut and punched the border using Kreaxions 307 punch.
