Amazing Birthday card

This is a card that is half done for you with a purchase of the Simply Created kit. The Simply Created Kit is $21.95 and is on clearance for $8.79 it can make a lot of cards. This kit can be made into a book of pockets or 30 cards with pockets. You just need  folded paper to make the cards. The Simply Created Kit comes with many fun accessories for decorating your project. I started by folding a 5 ½ x 8 ½ piece of paper in half to making the card.  Embossed the card with the Sizzix machine and an embossing folder which makes the raised dots on the card. Assemble any of the 30 pockets included in the kit on the front of your card. Using a stamp from the Amazing Birthday set making a tag that fits into the pocket. This tag can be used as a gift for the recipient. You could use your pocket for a photo, gift card, or use the paper provided in the Gratitude for Days kit as your pocket filler. Let your imagination go wild. You can embellish it with buttons, bow, stickers, binder clips, Baker's Twine, pearls or anything fun.

Basic Grey

Start off with a Whisper white piece of paper that was 5 ½ x 8 ½ . Fold the cardstock in half forming your card. Using Basic Gray cardstock cut two strips ¼ x 4 ¼ inches and mount them slightly above the center of the card. Stamp three images from the stamp set "By the Tide" on Whisper White cardstock. Line the images up so you see the image through the 1 inch square hole of the punch. Pinch the punch closed punching out each image. Cut three 1 ¼ inch squares out of Basic grey cardstock and mount the squares across the front of your card. Since your stamped images are in Basic Grey ink you will not need to color the images on the squares. Using "Dotty Angles" Photopolymer Set stamp the polka dots in basic grey on the bottom of your card. Choose some words to fit your occasion

Oh Happy Day

Fold a piece of Whisper White cardstock that is cut at 4 ¼ x 11 in half, and then folded it back on itself to make the front flap of the card. Run a piece 2 ½ x 4 inches of Elegant Eggplant cardstock through the Sizzix machine using the Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This gives the cardstock a large polka dot pattern. Run another piece 3 x 4 inches of Rich Razzleberry through your Sizzix machine using decorative dots. This piece attaches over your Elegant Eggplant piece. Cut a ½ inch off both of these embossed pieces.  Use these on the right side of your card giving the card some extra color. Layer the remaining embossed pieces on the left side of your card. Stamp the words "Oh Happy Day" from the Starburst Sayings Stamp Set cutting it out using the Starburst Framelits Dies on the Sizzix machine. Glue "Oh Happy Day" on the left side front flap. Accessories I used are the Pearl Basic Jewels and Dazzling Details on "Oh Happy Day".

A little Kindness

Use a 5 ½ x 8 ½ piece of Crumb Cake cardstock folded in half to make your card. Using use a ribbon from the “Best Ever accessory pack kit”. I tied the ribbon around a piece of polka dot paper from one of our Kraft bags we sell, using it as my background. Cut a  2 ¼ inch strip of orange Pumpkin Pie cardstock making points on each. This piece should fit across your card over your ribbon. This will give extra color to the card. Cut a 1 inch strip of crumb cake cardstock also making points on each end. Stamp some words on this crumb cake cardstock piece to suit the occasion. Mount the pointed strips together placing them over your ribbon and decorate as desired. The accessories used for this card are: Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set for the butterfly, Elegant Butterfly Punch, Bitty Butterfly Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Pearl Basic Jewels and Dazzling Details glitter on the polka dots.
