Double Dutchdoor Card

This is a Double Dutchdoor card made with Baby Cakes papers.  The top section fold up (1 door) and the bottom sections fold out (2nd door).

The Buttercup cardstock base is 4 3/16" x 9" then scored at 5". The base is cut just a little smaller than the normal 4 1/4" to accommodate the bottom portion to wrap around it.

The Buttercup cardstock bottom piece is cut at 2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". It is adhered to the back of the base piece.

You can decorate it anyway you want, I like to weight the top down with lots of layers to help hold it down.

This will be another card from our May 3rd class.  If you are interested let me know by emailing me at ddd4nier@aol.com

Skylark Collection Simply Inspired CTMH

This month we are highlighting the Skylark Collection.  If you came here from Michelle Snyder's blog blog you are on the right path.  If you get lost along the way you can find a complete list of participants on Dana Kessler's Blog . 

For my project I used our Memory Showcase Album which is only $3.95. The covers are approximately 6 1/4" x 6 1/4" and are heavy chipboard. The inner pages are 6" x 6" and are cardstock weight. 

On the covers front and back you can add as much dimension as you like.  I used the CTMH embossing folder Quatrefoil on the patterned paper, popped up the bird, title and added some rolled roses from the  Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge  using both  pattern paper and cardstock.  This cartridge or one of our other cartridges can be yours Free this month when you sign up with CTMH as a consultant. Sponging the edges with Chocolate, Sweetleaf or Lagoon inks highlights the papers.  The Skylark accents to add a little dimension to some of the pages.
 
I made this one more like a mini album. Each page has something interactive. There are pockets, tags, or belly bands so that each page holds multiple photos and journaling. You can use it for 4x6 photos as well.

 


This shot shows the front with the Bird on the right and the back with the pocket and tags on the left.
The pages in the center have pockets and mats.

These inside pages and the back of the covers show belly band and more pockets.
You can get a lot of photos in a small package.

I will be adding close ups of the pages to my blog post tomorrow if you are interested in seeing it up close.


Your next stop is Krista Hershberger's blog, she does amazing things..  Enjoy your journey!

Floating Your Fancy

Pennant Frame

Did you know CTMH has a Pennant Frame that you can make using your Cricut and our Artbooking cartridge?  Well we do..  This base paper was cut using Ivy Lane papers at 9 1/5".  Cool! All the details were done with Artbooking except the roses which were made with the Art Philosophy cartridge.

Treat Holder

At my workshop this past weekend Lorenza brought this fun pattern to share.  The original idea came from Debi Pippin.
Her treat bag was called a "Teabag and Cookie Holder".
Here is my version using Ivy Lane Paper from CTMH.

 My treat bag has 2 wrapped Ghirardelli squares, one on each side of the bag.  In the center there are some MnM's hanging in a baggie. 

Those MnM's are from last Easter!  Yikes...

The paper is 8 1/" x 12"
Scored the long way at:
1 1/4, 2 1/2, 5, 7, 9 1/2 and 10 3/4
Scored the short way at:
2 1/2 and 6"

Here's paper with lines for those that need a visual.
The corners with the X's you cut out.

Not sure why this photo is such a different color but it's the same..

Fold down the corners diagonally.
The printed paper will be what you see on the outside of finished product.

Fold in both sides to center, one shown in photo

Fold the 1st and last score toward center and adhere down, this is all the adhering you do!

Flip it over and fold on the 5" and 7" fold to make the bottom of the holder.





Pull the sides up to make it stand.

Cut the corners about 1/4" from the 1st score line on a diagonal, punch holes for the ribbon and tie.

The finished product is 4" tall, 3 1/2" wide and
1 1/2" deep.

I hope you like it and will try one.  They are very easy to make...
