January Workshop Update

It is Martin Luther King Holiday and I was fortunate to be off today!
To all of you that attended my Stampin' Up Workshop this past Saturday, it was great to see everyone after the holidays and get back to card making!  We missed those who could not attend and hope to see you in February.

Here are the cards we made this month.

This last one is the special card we made called a Gateway Card. I promised I would post all the dimensions for those interested in making this style of card again. Takes a little time to put it together since there are numerous pieces, but it is simple to make the folds.  Several of my customers found out they had an "arm" on their paper trimmer to measure up to 12".

Card Base is 4-1/4" x 11"  (Cut a 8-1/2" x 11" in half the long way)

Score lengthwise at 2", 3-3/4", 7-1/4" and 9", Fold as noted in the picture above

Inside where the saying goes:

     White:   3" x 3-3/4"

      Mat:  3-1/4" x 4"

Side Flaps (2 of each)

     Cardstock:  1-3/4" x 4"

     Printed:  1-1/2" x 3-3/4"

Front Flap (these are my measurements, but you can use any size you want based on the stamp you use

     White:  2-1/2" x 2-3/4"

     1st Mat:  2-3/4" x 3"

     2nd Mat:  3" x 3-1/4"

    

If you have any questions let me know.

Have fun creating!!!!!

Sneak Peek!

Here is a "sneak peek" of the front of one of the cards we will be making at the January Workshop on Saturday January 16th.  This is called a "gateway fold" card and when opened looks like this:

                                                                      

                                                                               

This looks like a challenging card to make, however it is very easy.  It does require the use of a paper trimmer to "score" the areas where you need to fold the card to make it close this way.

The other three cards we will be making are still a "work in progress", but I can promise you they will be fun to make with several stamp sets used from the new Occasions Catalog that went live this past week. 

Looking forward to the 1st Stampin' Up Workshop for 2016!
