I haven't been on, cause I was lost there for a moment. My head was in a spin, my desk was a complete catastrophe! I **sorta** sorted it out. Well at least 1 side of my craft table. Check out these before and after pics:
You're probably cracking up thinkin....was she high on sumptin'??! What in the world was I thinking, to be able to work in that tiny lil' spot... can you find it on the "before" picture?! That was ALL I had to work on. Now, it feels like the air is clean n' clear on that table. Thank goodness for readers.... you've motivated me to clear out my area.
Now that I have SOME room to work....(I wonder for how long....), I've finally decided to challenge myself at the Triangle Tri-Fold Card... I've seen it around for quite some time now... on L8ybug Stamper's (Rita) page, then on Allison's page (she made it for her son's birthday). I went on SCS for the tutorial, and found it - was not surprised at all to see that Ms. Beate was the writer of this tutorial.... So, here are the cards that I made.....
I made this one for Chazzy-Boy, for his 11th birthday. The airplane is a Cuttlebug die cut. I bought this with the intention of knowing that one day I was going to use it, but I really didn't know that I was going to use it so soon. Just like that horse die cut I bought. These CB dies are way tooo cute. If you haven't used a CB die cut yet, you should. The cuts are deep, and just so crisp. I totally love it!! Anyways, DS paper, and CS is Stampin' Up!, I used SU!'s font for the sentiment on the inside.... and stamp set is Seeing Spots. I made the matching envelope with 
DS paper from SU!, and I used the 5-in-1 envelope template to create the envelope. Just traced the mid section and a little of the sides, cut out, then fold. It was a perfect fit!

Then I made this one for my Mom. Her birthday was the day after Chazz'. The clock was a die cut that I received on Mama's Day, it's a Sizzlit cut. Isn't it so adorable?! I just love how the sentiment refers to "time", and I have a clock on the front. So happy that it came together that way. DS paper, CS and stamps are Stampin' Up!
Hope you've enjoyed these... I am working on more....
Whoa! Now thats a mess. I thought I made a pile of mess but you beat me to it. Hey, we should have a contest on who has the messiest area. Haha! I love how you made the triangle cards. I'll have to try that. And I really like what you did with that clock die. I never thought anything of that die but it turned out really cute on your card.
ReplyDeleteThese are super...I love the little boy card (since I am always looking for ideas for Tristan!).
ReplyDeleteThose are darling. I am with Allison. The boy triangle trifold is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHey Jen,
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the tri-fold! I love both of them. I love the clean look and the awesome colors.
I went to Barnes & Nobles last night and there's this book with all sorts of folds and box creations and this exact tri-fold technique was in the book.
I didn't buy the book but I think I'll get it next time. There was a bunch of cool techniques in this book.
Hey your desk (the messy one) looks exactly like mine. I actually can work in such a tight space like yours but I tend to lose things while working on a card or project because I have to pile stuff on top of one another.
K-den!
