** When you have your two pieces folded for the back piece just attach one of the larger cards to the front of the other and that will attach the two pieces and make it one card.

** When attaching the smaller matte to the front of the card, first warp the ribbon around the card and tie a knot, once you have done that and have the ribbon where you want it place 1 dimensional above the ribbon, 1 dimensional on the ribbon and one dimensional below the ribbon. Only attach the matte on the one side. I also attached the cupcake with dimensionals.

Hello Autumn.....

I really enjoyed making this card. I was surprised how simple it was to make. I used the stamp set Sheltering Tree and the saying from the Cheer All Year set. The colors that I used were Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Sahara Sand, Whisper White and Early Espresso. I am going to try a new way of inputting the directions so it will hopefully will be easier to understand :)

Card Measurements:
Rich Razzleberry                              4" x 11" (then score at 4", 5 1/2", and 7")
Pumpkin Pie Matte                           3 3/4" x 3 3/4"  (you need 2 of this size)
Large Whisper White Matte             3 1/2" x 3 1/2"  (you need 2 of this size)    
Old Olive Matte                                3 1/4" x 1"

Paper:
Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Whisper White

Ink:
Pumpkin Pie (tree leaves & Hello Autumn), Old Olive (grass stamp), Sahara Sand (tree), Early Espresso (swing)

Stamp Sets:

Embellishments:

 ** For the grass I did two layers. I started the row up higher first then I thought that looked weird with the bottom of the white card with nothing on it so I went ahead and added another layer of the grass stamp so it filled out the whole bottom of the card.

** Also make sure to use the bone folder on the scores, if not the card will not stay back for the easel look. Once you put a banner or anything at the bottom of the card it hold the top in place where you want it to be.

Fun Folded Brithday Cake.....

• For the card base, start with a piece of 7" x 5-1/2"  card stock.  Score at 4-1/4 ". Adhere a piece of 2-1/2"  x 5-1/4"  design paper to the front flap. For my card I used Mint Macaron card stock and a design paper from Michael's 

• Make a smaller card of 7" x 4-3/4" card stock and score it at 3 1/2" to make a smaller card. I also used the Mint Macaron for this smaller card

• Cut out two pieces of matte for the smaller card inside and outside flaps. The size should be 3 1/4" x 4 1/2". I used whisper white for these.  

• Then Adhere the smaller card to the card base. Make sure before you adhere it that it looks centered on the front.

• I then used one of the whisper white card mattes and used the stamp set Build a Birthday and made a cake using the ink: Tip Top Taupe, Perfect Plum, Watermelon Wonder, and for the candle top I used Daffodil Delight. Everything but the base of the cake was stamped on scrap paper then I cut them pieces out and attached them with dimensionals.The base and wording is stamped directly onto the matte. Then I used a punch to make the boarder on the top that was just cut from the 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" matte. 

Birthday Cake Card.....

This card is from the Build a Birthday set. The color scheme that I used is Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron, Perfect Plum, and Rose Red. This is a standard size card of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", with the card being Taupe paper.

The Mint Macaron matte is 4" x 5 1/4", then the whisper white is 3 3/4"  x 5" and was embossed with the stylish stripes embossing folder. Both matte's are attached to the Taupe paper with standard adhesive. I then used whisper white paper scraps and stamped the cake onto the scraps, then cut them out and placed them on the white matte with dimensionals. The top "flags/banner" are stamped directly onto the matte along with "Birthday Wishes". I then added bling to the cake holder and the "flags/banner" using the jewels basic rhinestones. I also layered the same mattes of Mint Macaron and Whisper White on the inside of the card.

Birthday Candles....

This card is from the stamp set Build a Birthday. The color scheme that I used was Watermelon Wonder, Tangerine Tango, Cucumber Crush, and Crushed Curry. This is a standard size card of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" made with Watermelon Wonder paper.

The first matte of Cucumber Crush is 5 1/4" x 4" then the whisper white matte is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and is placed on the Cucumber Crush paper with dimensionals, and the whisper white matte with the writing is a scrap piece then I just stamped the wording on it and left a lip that I adhered to the back of the bigger whisper white matte so it would stick to it. The length is 2 1/4".

I then used another piece of whisper white paper and stamped all the candles on to it and then cut them out. I used dimensionals to attach the candles to the white matte. I then used Crushed Curry to stamp the flames onto the white matte. The biggest candle I had to stamp onto scrap paper and cut out and that is attached with standard adhesive.

Ice cream anyone????

This card was made with the stamp set Sprinkles of Life. The paper scheme that I used was Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, and Whisper White. This is a standard size card of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

The first matte of melon mambo is 5 1/4" x 4" ,the larger white matte is 5" x 3 3/4" and is embossed with the decorative dots embossing folder.

The smaller matte for the pumpkin pie is 3" x 1 1/2", the melon mambo is 2 3/4" x 1 1/4", and the white is 2 1/2" x 1". Then I stamped the saying in pumpkin pie.

The ice cream cone is made of one "scoop" on pumpkin pie paper with pumpkin pie ink, one "scoop" on melon mambo stamped with pumpkin pie ink and then the last "scoop" is on whisper white with pumpkin pie ink. The "cherry" is on pumpkin pie paper and pumpkin pie ink. I punched them all out with the corresponding punch. The the cone is stamped in Basic Gray. I did hand cut that out. The small matte has dimensionals and then the cone has dimensionals on the "scoop" parts and then the cone is just on the small matte with adhesive. I also used the candle stamp to make a design on the inside with a pattern of pumpkin pie and melon mambo.
