Matchbook Birthday Card

By
 Hey everyone, Carolyn here for ScrapBook Blessings Club to share with you Monday's die/cutting project. We will be using the Silhouette Cameo and software today.  

 First, I have my tip of the day for you...  don't wait until the end of the day to take photos of your handiwork. You picture color is better in natural light.

 So onto our project. Here with a matchbook card I created for my granddaughter's 13th birthday, showing closed and opened views:

My recipe for this 

Matchbook Card from the Silhouette Online Store
Cardstock used:  Stampin! Up and Colorbox 12x12 paper pad
Stamp sets used:  Stampin! Up  Birthday Wish
                             Stampin! Up Girlfriend Accessories
Image is from The Craft Studio

I brought up the image in The Craft Studio and sized it to 4.25 x 4.25 and than printed.  Plus the sentiment was sized to fit.

I than went to my Silhouette Studio Design Edition and brought up the Matchbook Card file and resized to 4.25 x 8.50 and cut it out.  This file included the scalloped square which I also resized.  Very easy to cut out and put together.  The pocket I cut out, and folded the sides as valley and mountain folds, and used 1/4" scor-tape to tape it into a pocket.  Added adhesive to back of pocket and placed in the inside of matchbook card.  

The top inside I cut out a 4.25 x 4.25 (approx) and stamped the sentiment and two images on each corner, and than used my Spectrum Noir ink markers to color in.

The sentiment, "Have a Fabulous Day" I printed and cut with the Cameo and placed foam tape on the back and placed where the cover would slip into.  

And I placed a Clarinet charm and chain in the pocket for a gift for my granddaughter who participates in band.  

Die cutting machine used:  Silhouette Cameo and software.
Die cuts used:  scalloped square and a rectangle piece for the backing on the sentiment.

I hope your enjoyed today's project. If you have a question, please leave it in the comments, and a DT member will get back to you. 
And please, come on by to my blog at Granny Ma's Creations to see more of my work.  Thank you for stopping by, and hugs to all.

 Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,
♥ Carolyn

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
