CSS Alumni Sketch Challenge

Hello my friends! It is time for another fun CSS Alumni Blog Hop. This time is a Sketch Challenge. If you have come here from Cheri's blog, you are in the right place, if not come back to Stamp TV to start the hop.
I have to confess as soon as I saw the sketch I knew what I wanted to do, an "Envelope Card" hmm. what is that? It is a card and a envelope together, LOL. It is super easy to make.

Directions:
Inside of card:
  • Mat together 2 pieces of card stock and add stitches all around
  • Stamp image twice, color them. Cut out one and die cut the other one, adding some ink inside the borders.
  • Adhere the other image with Foam tape.
  • Add a scallop only in the top part.
  • Stamp sentiment.
  • Add image to card.
Envelope.
  • Cut a piece of card stock: 8.5" x 4.5"
  • Scor in half and fold. 
  • Using Circle Nestabilities, die cut a half circle. Emboss only front part.
  • Add a strip of card stock to the front and add stitches.
  • Add ribbon using Scor-tape and buttons.
Tips:
  •  If you want a flat folded ribbon add tiny drops of Fabric glue, press it and let it dry.
  • In order to have the perfect circle die-cut, put the inside piece through, make a little mark where you think the cut will match with the inside. (hope this makes sense)
Here is my "Baby Congratulations Card":


Card recipe:
Miss you card: I made this card for my dad! I miss him so much, I haven't seen him in almost 6 years and I wish I could go and just talk and talk. He loves to talk, travel and eat good food (just like me), also he is very funny!!

Anyway, for this card I didn't turn the sketch around.

Directions:
  • Make card from card stock.
  • Cut piece of Patterned Paper. Die cut semi-circle using Circle Nestabilities. Ink edges.
  • Mat the piece of PP with card stock, add zig zag-stitches.
  • Add buttons with twine.
  •  Stamp sentiment, ink and emboss. Adhere to card with foam tape.

Hope you like them!!

Now, hop over to Jen's blog to see her wonderful creation.

Have a great day!
