FORE!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

We have a NEW RELEASE which is perfect for all those sports fans in the family! It is called Baseball & Golf! It has 16 fantastic dies which will make your card making and scrapbooking pages look great! The release has special pricing right now so go and check it out HERE!

Not only is my husband a golfer but my two nephews take a swing at it too! So I am happy to make a few more cards with the golf theme.  Today's card features the Golf Ball & TeeGolf Basket of Balls, and Golf Bag and Clubs.  


Design Steps:

1.  Start with an A2 size kraft card base, green DP cut at 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, green plaid DP 4 x 5 1/4, strip of green DP 2 1/8 x 5 3/8 and a strip of newspaper DP 2 x 5 1/4
2.  Cut out the pieces using the Golf Ball & Tee Golf Basket of BallsGolf Bag and Clubs on green, red, white, brown and silver card stock.  Cut out the squares using the 6th from the largest Pierced Square die on kraft card stock.  Cut out the the rectangle 6th from the largest Pierced Rectangle die on kraft card stock
3.  Assemble the pieces using a fine tip glue.  I traced the golf basket and put a white liner behind it.  Using the Stitched Alphabet die cut out FORE in red
4.  Glue down the solid green DP to the card front.  Next glue down the plaid DP.  Glue the green strip to the newspaper DP and add it to the front as shown.  Glue the FORE, squares and the rectangle to the front as shown
5.  Add dimension squares to the back of the golf basket, golf bag and the ball and then pop them to the card front as shown below and your card is complete

Golfing Double Z-Fold


Happy Monday ~ I hope you all had a craft-astic weekend!  Guest Designer Kris here with a Double Z-Fold Box Card FORE you!  I love a good pun!  Today I have used 7 dies from the new AUGUST RELEASE!  This release is so great for those masculine cards - especially if they like golf or baseball!  And for a limited time you can get the whole release bundle at 50% OFF!!  Individual dies from this release are 30% off! 


The Z-Fold card is so easy to make, and this one is a step up because I added "shelves" in the li'l corner box to adhere even more images/die-cutz to!  

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  I cut a piece of light blue cardstock at 4-1/4" x 11" - then scored at 2-3/4" (mountain fold) and 5-1/2" (valley fold)

2.  I cut a green strip (for the front Z) at 2-1/4" x 11" and scored at 2-3/4"(valley fold) and 5-1/2"(mountain fold)  See photo below.

3.  I used the die pictured below from the Grass Slimline set to cut the top of the green Z strip.  The strip will be a bit longer than the die, so I cut to one of the score lines, then moved the die down to cut the rest.


4.  Next, I cut a piece of patterned green paper to 3-1/4" x 11" and scored at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2".  

5.  I used the die pictured below from the Hills Slimline set to cut all the way across the top of that strip, by doing the same technique.... cutting to one of the score lines, then moving the die down and cutting the remainder.  (see photos below)



6.  I attached the patterned paper to the blue card base, aligning edges at sides and bottom.  


7.  Next, I added tape to the sections pictured below on back of the green grassy strip.  You don't want tape to extend past that first score line on your card base, so if it helps, you can place a pencil mark on the backside of your grassy layer at 2-3/4" so you know where to stop taping.  ☺


8.  Adhere to card as pictured below.


9.  Cut 2 or 3 shelves to insert in that "box" that the short Z creates.  I cut (3) at 1-1/4" x 3-3/4" and scored at 1/2" in from each end.

10.  Miter the top of the side flaps.  Then cut the tops using the straightest section of the grass die.


11.  I added glue to the side flaps and (I tried to) evenly space them from back to front of the "box"


12.  If you want, you can cut a piece of cardstock to 4" x 5-1/4" for the back side of card for writing a message.

13.  All that's left is die-cutting my pieces. gluing them together and adhering to my card!  
  • For all the front Z panel die-cuts, I added foam dots to the backs to adhere them
  • For the elements on the shelves inside the "box" I glued them to strips of heavy acetate so I could place them up a li'l higher and provide more stability to them.  
  • For the words and silhouette golfer, I glued them directly onto the card base.

I hope you enjoyed my card today!  
Have a craft-astic week :)
