Cowgirl Tri-Fold Shutter Card+ Tutorial

It is once again Tuesday and the best part is that there is a new challenge over at TOP TIP TUESDAY! This week The Challenge - More than 1 fold 

To get your inspiration going I have done a tutorial on the Tri-Fold Shutter card. So here it goes:

Start out with
 1 - 6x12 Cardstock
1 - 6x12 double sided designer paper (or two cordinating papers)

Score the cardstock at 2",4",8" and 10"

Then measure 1½ inch from top and bottom and cut from the first score to the last score line.

Next fold mountain valley style.
I like starting in the second score line on the middle panel and folding it mountain style.

The top and bottom panels will get folded mountain style starting on the first score line. It should look like this bottom picture.

Next you cut your DP ¼ inch smaller than each panel.
I like alternating my paper as follows. You will need:

(2)1 ¾ x 5 ¾,   (2) 3 ¾ x 1 ¼,  (2) 1 ¾ x 2 ¾,  (4) 1 ¾ x 1 ¼, (1)  3 ¾ x 2 ¾.

I then inked the edges with Distress Ink Vintage Photo and glued down the pieces.
This is what it looks like all put together.

Then you will be ready to add a sentiment or image and really make it your own creation. 

Here is a bit of a close-up of cowgirl Tilda; aint she just so so cute?!

 

I have used a die cut I had been hoarding for a long long time!

This is what they look like closed.(Kinda closed)

This is a really easy card to do; once you have done it once then you can really make them in a jiffy!

I have been SPOTLIGHTED on Simply Sassy!

OMG okay so I have been spotlighted on the Simply Sassy Blog. I will be completely honest and say that I never thought this would happen to me. SO when Autumn asked me if  I would do it; I was so super excited even my husband thought I had gone crazy! You can check out the post HERE...Oh how fun!

Here is what I have made. It is not so much a card even though the base is a tri-fold shutter card. I intend to keep this creation forever as it has very special meaning to me.

I have used three images from Simply Sassy to represent my sisters and I: Strike a Pose, Lost in Music, and Pillow Talk. All colored with copics. This Sassy reminds me of my oldest sister; always so stylish and looking HOT!

This Sassy reminds me of my other sister just a little older than me; always lost in her music.

I have used this last Sassy to represent me; a bit bratty for being the baby and a total sleepy head!

I have added a bunch of flowers, ribbon, and embellishments all over the place plus tiny tangs from PTI to display each of our names. At the end very pleased with the results. I have even added a crochet flower that my Grandma Paula made for me. Making this project that much more special!

I would like to thank Simply Sassy for having me as their spotlight guest. It has been a total pleasure and I am truly honored!

Well I am just having so much fun with this release from Paper Makeup Stamps. Everything is just way too cute! Oh and everything is in both Digi and red rubber form. Gotta love that!

Today is Review Day #1 and I am showing you Hayden Fairy and she comes with this so appropriately cute sentiment. I must say that I do love that they come with the sentiments; makes it just so much easier when doing my cards. So here is my card; simple but cute:0)

Hayden has been colored with Prisma colors; I must admit that I am loving the look of the pencil on the kraft. I know I need more work on my blending and am planning on practicing :0)

Papers were a gift from Elaine; thanks girl! (Holly Jolly by MME)

Wohoo; I am so excited about the PMS being released this month! It is Christmas and my mojo is just flowing like crazy!  If you follow the PMS blog then you know that we have a hop on the 7th of each month and then have a release party where we play games and there is prizes to be won. So I really do encourage anyone who likes the stamps to stop by; even if it is just for a little bit. The gals are really fun and nice too! And we do not BITE! So please come and have some fun with us.  Our release will go live during our release party from 9pm-11pm EST. We hope you'll join us in our FORUM!

If you are hopping along with us today you should have come here from Lisa M awesome blog; if not you can start at the beginning by going to the PMS blog.

Okay so now onto my card for today; humm I am not sure to consider it a card since it really doesn't have a place to write something. But here it is! I am using Pete; he comes with this so super cute sentiment. I will say that from the first time I saw him I knew I just had to have him. Just look at him so so cute with his mug and that great big scarf. I have colored him with my Copics and then added Ritz glitter to give it an all over shimmer. I quite like the look of this frosty guy:0)

I have given  all of my papers a glitter edge; that took some patience, waiting for it to dry! Anyway I really like the look.

My flowers are from WOC and they were a prize won a long time ago!

Here you can take a look at the inside pockets; just perfect to house two packs of the hot chocolate. The package actually says " making Warm Chocolate memories" aint that just perfect! Love it!

Now if you are thinking that you have seen these papers before; you are right. I cannot stop using them; they are from the 12 days of Christmas from MME 6x6 pad. It can really go a long way. I still have over half of the pad left. Gotta use it up some more!

Truffle Basket with PMS Tags.

Yay it is day 2 of the Sneak Peeks for Paper Makeup Stamps; I am super excited about this release because it is just perfect for the holidays! All of the release will be available in both digital and rubber form. I have a bunch of pictures to share so I will keep the chat to a minimum (will try at least!).

I have made 4 of these super bright and fun little baskets that house a baggie full of truffles dusted with cocoa powder. I had never tried truffles like this before; and they are yummy!

Here is a top view; I have placed the baggie inside a doily filled with kraft paper shavings.

Here are closer views of the tags; they were easy to do and I really love how easily you can flip an image over and make it double sided. On one side of the tag I have used Happy Holidays from Me to You! sentiment; and on the other, the To:, From:, and the cute little mistletoe. I have given the berries some sparkle with cinnamon stickles. I know I will be using these tags a whole lot more this year. They are called  "Color It Winter Tags Set" and will be available at PMS on November 7th!

 

Before I go would like to let remind you that we will be having a party on the 7th. It is a release party(when the stamps go on sale) but you can chat with all of us and Katie(owner of PMS) plus you will have the chance to win some RUBBA! Gotta love that.
