Gate Fold Card - Inside

Close-Up

 Supplies & Instructions

Gate fold card base - I wanted my finish card to measure 4"x 6" so it was 6"x 8" and scored at 2" & 6" on the long side. This is the first Gate Fold card I made and it was so super easy.

Pink Center Layer - It was originally cut about 2"x 6" then I used an EK Success Border punch on both sides of it. Then adhere it to the left side of the gate.

Graduation Card

The hardest cards for me to make are Graduation and Mono Chromatic, meaning a card primarily with one color. The reason Graduation cards are difficult for me is because I don't have very many Cricut Cuts or Stamps to choose from. The cap on this card was cut from Wild Card Cricut Cartridge. It is actually a card and there are no layers for it. So the way I cut it is on my Gyspy, and I move it to the edge so only the front of the cap is on the mat. Then I cut it out and trim off the extra paper. So finally I figured out how to make a Graduation Cap with the Cricut Cuts I have.

A bit about me....

I have been working on alot of projects. I sell my cards, notebooks, and paper crafts that I make. Tomorrow is our Church's Father's Day Fest. Its a hug outdoor event with a service, car show, monster trucks, cook-off, live bands, and I am running a craft fair at it. I am so excited to sell projects and cards I have made. What I sell will pay for my day at CHA Chicago in July. So I am praying for a profitable day. I am looking forward to tomorrow so much! Well enough about me, I need to go make some more stuff :)

Pinkalicious Blog Hop

Summer Happy Birthday Card

Welcome to the Pinkalicous blog hop. This is the last month of our design team's term. I have had so much fun getting to know so many of you crafters. This has truly been such a great experience and it was such an honor to be on My Pink Stamper's design team. Look for many more MPS projects this month.

If you are coming from Julie-readysetstamp, then you are right on track. If not, then you can begin the Blog Hop at www.mypinkstamper.com.

This Happy Birthday Stamp comes from My Pink Stamper's Sweetest Cupcakes Stamp Set. It is such a cute stamp set. To see all of Robyn's amazing stamp sets, click HERE.

This card had a lot of layers. I layed it out on my gypsy so I knew exactly how large each cut would be and so I could put the exact about of paper on the mat. It takes some practice but each square equals an inch on the mat, so the more you work with it, the easier it gets.

I actually cut a clear piece of packaging from something for a top layer on the cup. I adhered it with vellum adhesive.
