Nature's Harvest Building Block Card

 I first saw this card, made by Debbie Mageed on Pinterest, and then used the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers to make my own calendar card. I used the lovely Blackberry Bliss DSP matted with Early Espresso card stock and some gold foil accents.

The card base is 5 `/2 by 10 1/2" Thick Basic white card stock, scored at 3 1/2 and 7"on the long side. These score lines are folded as a Mountain fold at the 3 1/2" score line and a Valley fold at the 7" score line.

To make the blocks the numbers are on some cut marks are made on the Valley Fold on the wrong side of the card. They are made up to 1 1/2" at the following intervals 3/8", 1 3/8" , 2 7/8, 3 7/8, 4 1/8, and 5 1/8".  Following that, score lines are made at the edges of the cut lines, at 5 1/2 and 8 1/2" so the 1" score lines can fold out as Mountain folds, and the 1/4" lines as Valley Folds.

All the score lines were burnished so they were crisp, after which the card was decorated.

Below are the dimensions:

Front panel: Early Espresso card stock 3 1/4 by 5 1/8"  DSP 3 1/8 by 5"

Miss You - Building Block Card

It's a bright sunny day today, but still very cold, so it's another good day for indoor activities.
I made this Building Block card using a tutorial from Splitcoaststampers here  It's not perfect and I can see where I made some mistakes, but here it is:

The base card is Whisper White, with the front and two side panels layered with Real Red and then DSP from the Fresh Prints stack.  The building blocks are layered with Pool Party cardstock.
The image on the front was coloured with ink pads and an aqua painter.  The ribbon at the bottom is ruffled Pool Party.
The letters were die cut in Whisper White and then coloured with Primrose ink and a dauber.
