July Stampers Club project 1

 

I know that it has been forever since I posted here.  I’ll be lucky if anyone still looks lol.  If you follow my other blog, then you will know I am involved in a big secret project!  It’s secret because until everything is said and done, it could still go bust!  But I am close to completion and almost ready to share.  So on to my long neglected blog.  Today’s card is part of my Stamper’s Club.  The ladies wanted to try out a pop-up card, so that is the first project that I am sharing.  The outside is simple since there is still work that has to go on inside.

The inside is pretty fun.  All I use for it is the Neighborhood wheel.  There is plenty of bling in the form of sparkles on the window.  This card is great for a welcome to the neighborhood or congrats on a new home.

Recipe:
stamps:  All in the Family, Family accessories, Absolutely Fabulous, Neighborhood wheel.
Ink:  Old Olive, Basic Black, So Saffron, Soft Sky, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point( new in color)
Paper:  So Saffron, Soft Sky, Celery, Whisper White
Other:  Stamp-ma-Jig, Watercolor crayons, Celery ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, black SU marker, Artichoke marker, Coluzzle.

I started by cutting out my basic card size and the mat’s.  I sketched and cut a cloud template.  I sponged my sky BG in SSky and TTurquoise.  Next I sponged the base with more of the same color.  The CCelery layer was sponged with OOlive and stamped with flower from accessories pack using Artichoke marker ( stem omitted).  I then wheeled out my houses, colored it in and cut it out with X-acto.  I cut 3 strips of 4″ x 1″ whisper white and creased every 1″.  Folds were made and coordinating ink was sponged to blend with grass and sky.  Sticky strip was added and the paper strips were adhered to house back and sky and grass mat’s.  The front of card was just stamped using stamp-ma-jig and colored with water color crayons.  Coluzzle was used to cut out.  Distressing was done to the Celery oval mat.  Everything else is easy peasy.
