Color and Contour Freesia Spine card

 It's a spine card!

Base 4 ¼ x 11, score at 4 ¼, 5 ½, 6 ¾

Freesia layers:  4 x 4 and 4 x 1

White is 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 and 3 7/8 x 7/8

Tips:

Adhere the spine part of the card with glue inside so it only opens at the scoring.  Cut a vee or use a small e.g., 1/2" circle punch to make the notches on the spine. 

Once your stamping is done, layer this up and add to the card.

Now tie your ribbon around the spine, add in an extra piece of lace or tulle ribbon!

Super easy but a pretty effect.

Color & Contour - Layered Cards

I love these nested Color & Contour dies, here's a quick card that has a pop of color

 

These cards are the same, except the Polished Pink uses the die cut for the flower and dimensionals pop up the flower, and the Fresh Freesia has a "flat" flower. 

Base 8 ½ x 5 ½

2 nested dies (largest and 2^nd largest) from the Contour die sets.

Greeting ¾ x 2

What makes the card is the coordinating ink, ribbon and cardstock!

Color and Contour with a Scalloped Edge card

The contour dies include a scalloped edge die.  This "edge" die is perfect to dress up the edge of a box or a card.  

 

A few tips:

Cut the DSP (patterned paper) and then without adhering it down, run it though your die cutting machine. Do you stamping on the patterned paper.  Now glue it down (you don't want your dies gummed with adhesive).  

Base 5 ½ x 8 ½

DSP 3 ½ x 5 ½

Run the base and DSP through the Stamp Cut and Emboss, then adhere to the front.

Stamp and die cut flowers (I stamped off the bumblebee), add splatters, greeting.

Pale Papaya for the 4 pieces of ribbon (2” folded, adhered to back with Seal +)

The ribbon look is different - it's a 2" folded piece that is adhered to the back. So not a bow!

This is a great bundle, if you liked the Stitched Dies, Nested Dies, Stitched So Sweeting dies... this set is for you. Super versatile.

Color & Contour Zee Fold card

A zee fold for you today! 
 
Base 8 ½ x 5 1/2 scored at 2 1/8, fold over the front to make the "zee"

Use 3^rd largest die in the Color & Contour set for the front greeting, stamp your flower and then stamp with the flower petals (2 step stamping). You'll see the 2nd stamp is a bit "blotchy", that's the look, not a perfect lining up of the petals to the base. 

There are lots of options to color the petals: Stampin Blends (our alcohol markers), a Stampin Write Marker, a Blender pen dipped in any ink you wish.

Stamp thank you in Black memento. 

The Patterned Paper is from the Hand-Penned collection, cut at 2 x 5 1/8 for front and inside, it's the same paper using both sides.  I love that our paper has patterns on both sides that coordinate. 

I added a papaya ribbon to the front with a glue dot.

I'm featuring this Color & Contour all week on my blog, an amazing versatile stamp and die set (in my online store if you don't already have it)!  I have a tutorial with 10 Color & Contour projects, free to customers and my team or for sale $10, contact me MaryKate@MaryKateScott.com

Happy crafting (and happy to answer questions, don't hesitate to reach out!)

Color & Contour Scalloped Box

 A fun box from a 12 x 12 sheet that easily holds 4 regular sized cards.

Take a piece of 12 x 12 (I used the DSP backing (you hardly see the writing as it’s on lower inside of the box), cut it to 12 x 8.  

Score along the short side at 2” (near the writing). 

ON the long side score at ½, 5, 6 ¼, 10 ¾.  

Fold the 2” up so the piece is 12 x 6 (folded) and then die cut the scallops on the long side.  

Make into a box by cutting the tabs and folding in the bottom.

Front DSP is 4 x 5 1/2. 

Die cut the mid-size scalloped piece. 

Die cut the flower (cut the flower off so you have the stem only) in Jade.  

Stamp and Die cut the daisy flower. Add the stem and the flower with dimensionals.  Add freesia ribbon.

Hand Penned Class is June 22 and 29 6-730pm online, recorded

Artistically Inked Hartland ME 2-4pm
