New Year - New Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration.

So exciting the start the New Year with a New January-April Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration.

On the left, click on the picture from the Mini Catalog and/or Sale-A-Bration, you can see the whole catalog and brochure.

Here is one of the cards for the January Card Class.
Hope you like it too, it has a Pop-Up on the inside. 





























Maybe it still exists, but back in the day we had Strike Matchbooks in a little to go package. Well, that idea was used to create this card.

Materials used to create this card:
162755 Hot Air Balloon Bundle
162747 Lighter Than Air 6x6 DSP
141416 Flirty Flamingo Card Stock
147086 Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad
162759 Baker's Twine Three Color Pack
162758 Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots
162889 Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle
104430 Dimensionals

Cut the base Flirty Flamingo Card Stock at 10 x 4 1/4".
Score at 4 1/2".
Cut Flirty Flamingo CS at 2 1/2 x 4 1/4". 
Score at 1 1/4".
Cut Flirty Flamingo at 3 1/4 x 3".

Cut the inside Basic White Card Stock at 9 3/4 x 4".
Score at 4 3/8".
Fold the Basic White CS and cut 3/4" from the fold at 1 1/5 & 2 1/5", this makes the Pop-Up, score between the 2 cuts and fold.





Before glueing the inside into the card base, make sure the Pop-Up piece is folded the opposite of the card. Glue first the longer piece from the card close to the score line. Then fold the Basic White CS and glue the short part of the card and fold the Flirty Flamingo on top. Again make sure the Pop-Up piece is folded to the inside of the card. 

Cut Basic White at 
- 4 3/8 x 4 1/8" 
- 4 1/8 x 1 1/8"

Cut Lighter Than Air 6x6 DSP at:
- 4 1/4 x 4"
- 4 x 1"  
- 3 x 2 3/4"

Glue now the top piece, Flirty Flamingo 2 1/2 x 4 1/4", scored at 1 1/4" and fold in half. Add glue on one side and adhere to the back of the longer piece from the card, at the top. Add the two small layers of CS (Basic White & DSP).

Glue the Basic White 4 3/8 x 4 1/8" and DSP 4 1/4 x 4" together and glue them to the front of the card.

Now glue the Flirty Flamingo 3 1/4 x 3" and the DSP 3 x 2 3/4" together.

Stamp the two sayings, using the ink and punch it out.
Add Dimensionals to both and adhere them. One to the front of the card and the other to the piece for the inside.

Add adhesive to the front of the Pop-Up piece and glue it together to the fold from the Pop-Up.

Last thing to do is the Baker's Twine and look how awesome this card turned out.
