Original Card I cased
This past weekend was our monthly stamp club class. I cased a card from Andrea using the Polka Dots and Punches Saleabration (SAB) set. I gave my stampers the option of stamping the hearts, as in Andrea’s original card, or using any of the other designs (flower, 5 petal flower, scallop swirl design). I have included a sample of 3 different designs so you can see the difference. All are very pretty and can fit any ocassion.
Stamp club members optional designs
2 different designs
5 Petal Flower
Small Flower w/scallop
The sizes are as follows (in case you want to make one with your new FREE SAB stamp set!
Whisper white cs: 5.5×8.5
Black cs: 5.25×4, 2×5
Delicate Dots dp (SAB paper) yellow bkg: 5×3.75
Delicate Dots dp circles: 5x 1/74
Black 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon (7″). Add 2 rhinestone brads( I used some yellows, clear, and blues) to upper right corner of card base (yellow & blk pcs) before mounting to white card base.
Stamp desired design on scraps of bashful blue, certainly celery, and so saffron; If using the small flower, punch out coord. colors with the scallop punch. Mount designs with dimensionals to lift off the card front.

Valentine Lip Gloss card
Here are Robyn’s directions:
Lip Gloss Holder Card Directions:
There isn’t anything “official” that I have, I do a lot of eye-balling, but the dimensions and score lines for the card are as follows:
Cardstock base: 5 7/8″ X 3 1/2″ scored at 2 1/2″ and 3 1/4″
Lip gloss slits are 1 1/4″ long (very important as they will fall through if bigger), you will need 2 of these slits. I just eye-balled it as far as where to start the first one, and how far apart to make them, but the measurements for mine are at 1 1/2″ and 2″ from the top of the base. Also, important is to cut into the right panel (or back of card) versus into the left panel, as this will cut into the front of your card.
I just eye-balled the ribbon holder slit as well. As long as you have both lined up to match, placement really doesn’t matter. Mine are at 1 1/2″ from the top. Embellish as desired.
