Playing in the Rain Bundle

THIS OR THAT?

Which do you like better?

THIS- the turtle?

or 

THAT- the fox? 

We are suppose to have rain all weekend!

So I thought today was a great day to share this cute card.

 "Rainy days are better with you!"

 

As this is one of the cards everyone stamping with me at my 

April monthly classes will be making. 

And yes- you get to choose what 'critter' you want to add to the front of your card.

There are several different cute critters you can choose from,

as the stamp set & DSP both have lots of cute ones!

Check out how I added the DSP panels, as I was trying to maximize my DSP.

How did I do it? 

I used Tear & Tape & added the Vellum words first, by taping them to the back side.

Then I added the 3 DSP panels.

LOOK how I cut 3 different sized pieces to fit into the rectangles. 

As I cut a piece of 3 x 4" DSP & then cut 

that piece at- 1 1/2", 1" & 1 1/2".

I used Tear & Tape & attached these 3 pieces of DSP to the backside of the die cut.

 Notice how the center one is not quite long enough....but no worries!

As I punched out a cloud & I'll put the cloud over this hole, where the DSP is too short!

See, the cloud covered the hole perfectly!!!! 

 I maximized my DSP so that I could get as many pieces as possible for my classes.

 

WOW!

Check out the inside of the card!

This is a fun explosion card & the center pops up when you open it!

I have done this at classes many times over the years & it is always so fun!

Here is the pattern that shows how to fold the DSP.

6x6"- fold in half, turn & fold in half again, then fold diagonally.

Pinch the corners & fold flat so that it looks like this.  

When it is folded it is a diamond.

Here are the measurements & supplies.

stamp set:   ''Playing in the Rain'

• Thick Basic White- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" & fold in half for card base

Ready to Ride DSP

 

Check out these 2 cards.

Which do you like better?

THIS- the motorcycle?

OR

THAT- the old car?

 

Are you coming to stamp with me at one of my monthly 

April stamp classes?

If you are- then you'll get to make one of these cards.

Which one are you going to choose to make?

How did I do that?

Notice how I wanted the lines on the embossing folder 

so that it was like the same angle that the DSP was cut at.

• I slid the Basic Gray CS into the embossing folder.
• I laid the DSP on the outside of the embossing folder where I wanted it- by following the lines/pattern on the outside of the embossing folder.
• I diagonally turned the Basic Gray CS so that it was lined up with the angle of the DSP & lines in the embossing folder pattern.  SEE PHOTO ABOVE.
  
• Using a Black Sharpie marker I made little corner marks directly on my embossing folder.  This way when I was mass producing for my classes I could easily find the same spot that I wanted the CS in each time without having to measure it.
• When I'm done with my classes this month I will use a Mr. Eraser & remove the Black Sharpie marks on my embossing folder!

This old car is from the 

#159071-He's All That= $22.00

I die cut the words using the 

#159182- Cracker & Treat Box Dies- $36.00.
