One of a Kind Craft Along Details Here

Look at these fun, fancy fold hand stamped greeting cards! I bet you have seen nothing like them before! That’s because these are my original designs. I like to wow and surprise with unique folds, pops of color and fun embellishments too.

Each box includes 4 each of the 3 apple/pumpkin designs. That means you can share 3 cards of each design and keep 1 of each design in your idea file.

In addition, 1 Halloween kit and tutorial for this design is included too. I just could not resist including the Halloween design even though you might be receiving the box after Halloween! So that’s a total of 13 kits in the box.

Order your box my clicking the Contact button at the top of my blog or PM me in Facebook and ask for the Angle Card Kits. I’ll send a PayPal invoice to your email address for $30. Shipping is USPS priority rate so the box should arrive to you within a few days of ordering. Porch Pick Ups from the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin area are available too. Please don’t delay, order today! The One of a Kind virtual event where I will be sharing the how to video is coming up quick on November 7th. I need time to cut supplies and do an assembly line of the pieces to create the kits:) It’s just me in my stamp space creating the kits.

PLEASE NOTE: To finish the cards according to the samples, purchase the following items from my online store by clicking on the words for the particular product. If you have a similar stamp set/punch in your stash already, those should work if they are about the same size as the Stampin’ Up! versions.

Here is what I used to finish the card kits:

Harvest Hellos stamp set, Apple Builder punch, Real Red ink pad, Real Red reinker, Granny Apple Green ink pad and Pumpkin Pie ink pad.

Assorted adhesives and scissors to cut the ribbons are needed too. Stampin’ Up! does not allow demonstrators to include stamped images in kits. So that is why you need to provide the stamp set, punch and ink pads. I’ll provide the papers for the stamped and punched images. I just can’t do that work for you. Thank you for understanding.

If you are not interested in my Angle Card Kits, how about joining me and a few other demonstrators for a virtual Black Friday event? Details for this event can be found by clicking here.

The Annual and August-December Mini Catalog can be downloaded through those images on the right side of my blog as well.

It’s a little early to get the house ready for the next season anyway:) I would like to instead prep kits for you! I have 3 virtual events where I can help you push off your fall cleaning too;) Maybe the dust bunnies will skitter away on their own. A girl has to have dreams!

But seriously, I have a Friday Night In planned with my co-host Tracy from Australia on October 2nd, 6-8pm. Yes, it’s next week! I ship USPS 3 day so order as late as Monday night and the kits should arrive to you in time. If not, videos will be available on replay.

Gift Card Holder CASEing the Blog Hop Design 13

Turns out I did not have to CASE Joyce Hall’s Blog Hop design. It was her trade card at our all demonstrator meeting. Plus, 2 other demonstrators (Robin Vought created the guitar card, not sure who was the other demo) used the same design but achieved different looks. Joyce’s card is the lavender design which you can see on her blog here.

Flip the flap to reveal the gift card holder. Use a circle punch to create the notch.

1 27 2018 casegiftcard2-001

The base layer is 4.25 x 11 inches, scored at 5.5 inches. Score the flap as needed according to the size of the front design. Robin’s guitar design accommodates a slighter larger front design than the other 2 designs.

It was a great idea to share designs covering birthday, wedding and graduation as a gift card idea. I may have to CASE it yet for the February Card Buffet.

If you missed the full blog hop, you can hop along here.

I have 1 more CASE and it is the card in a box. I have ideas so stay tuned to see what I create!

Have a nice weekend!
