Stamperia Daisy Art Shaker Cards Tutorial with Uniquely Creative Folding Ticket Frame Die

Hello, Friends!  It’s Wonderful Wednesday and time to share this Stamperia Daisy Art Shaker Cards Tutorial with you.  There are lots of wonderful tips ahead for streamlining your card making process.

One Basic Recipe for 4 unique cards

As a long time fan of spending time in the kitchen as well as in the craft room, I love it when a basic recipe can be used in different ways.  My all time favorite oatmeal cookie recipe uses the same base every time.  I’ve baked these cookies so many times I have the recipe memorized!  The thing I love about it so much is the fact that I can change up the add-ins (chocolate chips, raisins, coconut, spices, etc.) and have a totally different cookie.

That’s the approach I took with our card tutorial today.  Each of these 4 cards follows the same basic recipe.  I just changed up the ingredients (i.e. background papers and images) on each card.  This allowed me to pre-cut all of my card bases, cardstock liners, patterned papers, and even the shaker boxes all at the same time.  Talk about a time saver!

If you’ve never tried this approach before, I highly recommend it, especially if  you are short on time.

Daisy Art Shaker Card “Recipe”

Daisy Art-Shaker Cards-Stamperia-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design

  • First, create the card bases.  For each base, cut (2) 5″ x 8 1/2″ panels of heavy cardstock.  Join the (2) 5″ ends together with 1/4″ Scor-tape or the adhesive of your choice. Score the long side at 7″ and 7 1/4″.  Fold on the 7 1/4″ score line and score again at 7″.  Fold the flap on the bottom up to form a pocket.  Score (2) 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ scraps of cream cardstock in half at 1/2″.  Fold and adhere to the pocket sides to seal.
  • Next, cut (3) 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ solid cardstock mats for each card.  Adhere one mat inside the card at the top.  Trim 2 3/8″ from the bottom of a second mat and line the pocket face.  Use the offcut to line the inside of the pocket.  We will use the third mat in the next step.
  • Cut a 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ panel of patterned paper for the cover. Stitch it onto the unused solid cardstock mat.  This will be the card cover.
  • Cut 2 additional 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ panels for the card interior.  Trim 2 1/4″ from the bottom of one panel to line the pocket face and inside the pocket.  Score a 1/2″ flap on a scrap piece of cardstock and adhere behind the other 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ panel.  Adhere on the top of the card.
  • Create the shaker frames as I demonstrated in the video.
  • Place all your elements for each card in a pile, then just glue everything together.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the process for making these cards.  Once you have your design figured out (that’s the hard part!) it’s so easy to cut and prep all the pieces for each card.  Do you think you’ll give this method a try?

I’ll be back next week with our first June Wonderful Wednesday featuring 49 & Market The Looking Glass collection.  It’s going to be a “fairy” fun month!

Part 2 Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial:  Finishing the Inside Elements

Hello, Friends!  It’s another Wonderful Wednesday and time to share Part 2 Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial with you.  If you missed Part 1, you can find it HERE.

This week we are going to finish the album interior with all kinds of fun flips, flaps, pockets and pop-up features.  Need lots of room for photos?  I’ve got you covered!  But if you simply want to enjoy flipping through these gorgeous patterns and images, that’s OK, too!

Do you love a lace covered spine as much as I do?  I’ll show you how quick and easy it is to add one to your next album, folio or junk journal in this video.

Surprise Pop Up Page

C’mon, friends!  You knew there had to be a pop up feature tucked in this album somewhere, right?  This one is hidden inside a flap page, and it’s such fun to see all these dimensional layers when you open it up.  I’ll share my “quick and easy” tips for making the pop up boxes, too.

Lots of Room for Photos

See that little flap page over on the right?  It’s actually a 5×7 envelope, so the back side is a pocket filled with photo mats.  And, I just had to add another little kinetic waterfall page for even more photos.

Pages that Move

Do you like to create pages in your albums that move?  Me, too!  Wait until you see how these folio pages function!  It’s not only cool, but it’s easy to create, too.

Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial Part 1

Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial Part 1

Hello, Friends!  It’s May, and we’re starting a brand new series with this Stamperia Daisy Art Folio Tutorial.  Oh, this collection is so full of my favorite colors and happy vibes!  I just had to create an interactive folio to show off all its beauty!  We’ll create the first part of the folio this week, then (hopefully!) finish it up in next week’s Wonderful Wednesday tutorial.

I shared a walk through video of this paper collection last month.  In case you missed it, you can view it HERE.  It is selling out fast, as all beautiful papers have a tendency to do, but there are still quite a few pieces of the collection left.  I’ve linked to them below, as well as tagged them in the YouTube video.

So many of you asked me to make a mini album or a folio this month.  I hope this 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ x 1″ folio base will inspire you to create.

Even if  you are a card-maker, there are a lot of features in this tutorial that can be used on a card.  And, you don’t have to use these papers (although why would you NOT want to use them?).  Build the base with me, and then use your own favorite papers to customize the design.

This week we will build the folio base, embellish the cover and create the left hand panel.  The video is loaded with technique, so I invite you to grab a cuppa and a snack, relax and enjoy!

 

 

Here’s another look at that left hand flap page.  Oooh, so many fun elements can be found here!

I’ll be back next week with Part 2 of this tutorial.  We’ll finish the interior and add the lace spine.  So set your clocks, and I’ll see you here next week!

Remember: you can find basic measurements for this project in the description box below the video on my YouTube channel.  I’ve also linked a supply list there.

As always, you can find a linked supply list below this post as well.

The Easiest Hidden Paperclip Tutorial Ever

Stamperia Nutcracker-Tea Party in a Box-Hidden Paper Clip Tutorial-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design

The Easiest Hidden Paperclip Tutorial Ever: A Ghost of Christmas Past Mini Tutorial with                Stamperia Nutcracker & Tea Party in a Box Project Share

Hello, Friends!  I have such a Christmas treat for you today with the easiest hidden paperclip tutorial ever!  Welcome to another installment of my Ghost of Christmas Past series.  Today we’re working with Stamperia Nutcracker: one of the most beautiful paper collections in my stash of older Christmas papers. We’re also going to share a peek inside this lovely little Nutcracker Tea Party in a Box folio.  (I’ve added the written tutorial in the description box below the video on my YouTube channel.)

Hidden paperclips are a fabulous addition to junk journals, mini albums and cards.  You can use them as an embellishment, of course.  If you need a cute bookmark, they are great for that, too. But they also are very functional when you need a closure.  I’ve experimented with lots of different ways to make them, but the method I share with you today is so doggone easy that you are going to want to give it a try!

Stamperia Nutcracker Tea Party in a Box Project Share

Here’s a peek inside this sweet little Tea Party in a Box.  I love the fact that this collection works for Christmas and beyond.  And the color palette and images are just dreamy!

Naturally I had to add a 3-D pop up element to the project.  (Could I possibly be addicted to making these?)  Don’t you love the cozy fireplace and the kitty sleeping in the armchair?  All the cozy vibes are going on here.

The Pull out Page

I needed a closure for this pull out page and wanted to do something different.  This darling birdie is actually a hidden paper clip, and it works great for the closure.  The little tag album fits neatly into the paper bag pocket, and adds a fun interactive element to the page.

The flap on the right is a little kinetic waterfall…just for fun.

And here’s a peek at the contents of the box:  3 more hidden paperclips (because they make great bookmarks), chocolate, Biscoff cookies, demitasse spoon, journal card, tea wallet, and a peppermint stick.  This would make a great birthday present or hostess gift, don’t you think?

I’m busy working on another Quarterly Card Kit for the Button Farm Club.  This one features Simple Stories fabulous Vintage Junk Drawer collection. I’ll have more on that in a few days.

Thanks again, my crafty friends, for all your lovely comments, encouragement and support.  I hope you’re having a delightful Christmas season.

Hello, Friends! Are you ready for another Ghost of Christmas Past Project Share and Mini Tutorial featuring Stamperia Classic Christmas Fun Fold Cards?  Traditional colors and vintage images have long made this 2021 collection a favorite in my studio.  I’ve made dozens of cards with these festive papers, and I enjoyed making these two as well.

Sweet Christmas Bird Gatefold Pop Out Card

Stamperia Classic Christmas-Pop Up Flap Card-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design

Our first card is this darling Christmas Bird nestled in a circular frame.  Here are some quick and easy tips for putting this card front together.

  • First, paint an empty cardboard tape reel with white paint.
  • Next, adhere the frame over a portion of a 4×6 journal card.
  • Now, add some Buttons Galore and More goodies , handmade poinsettias and bows to dress up the frame.
  • Embellish with more buttons and a small tag.

You’ve just elevated the design of what is a very simple card front.

Gatefold Pop Out Element

Stamperia Classic Christmas Gatefold Pop Up Card-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design

Design a gatefold cover for the inside of the card.  Then mat your image on layers of cardstock and gold foil paper for a little  holiday sparkle.  Remember to only glue down the left hand side of your image, or you won’t be able to open the gate!

To create the gatefold portion of this card follow these simple steps:

  • First, cut a 10″ x 6 7/8″ panel of patterned paper.
  • Now score 2 1/2″ flaps on the right and left hand sides.  Fold to form the gates.
  • Place magnets on the right hand gate and on the back side of the front image to keep the gates closed.  You can cover up the magnet on the back side with a panel  of designer paper.

Surprise!  Add 4 small pop out panels to the interior of the gatefold.  If you’ve never made a pop out box before, you can find a tutorial HERE.

O Christmas Tree Shaker Card with a Pull Down/Pop Up Flap

Christmas is the perfect time to make a shaker card!  (Well, isn’t any time the perfect time to make a shaker card?)  You can make a custom frame for your card using rectangular nesting dies.  It’s super easy, and I’ll show you how in the video tutorial.

Y’all know I just love a good pop up element, so I added a fun pull down flap to the top of this card.  Spoiler alert:  There’s a pop up scene behind it!
