Stampin' Up! Heart & Home Project for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop. This week we have a theme challenge. Here is what I created for it...

and here is our theme...

My idea came from Debbie Mageed who got her idea from a tutorial at Splitcoaststampers. It's called a Building Block Card.

The card folds flat for mailing purposes but I made this one for myself with the calendar Debbie sent me.

My card base is Cinnamon Cider cardstock, the mats are Pale Papaya cardstock and the Designer Series Paper is a pattern from Heart & Home (available January 4, 2022). 

I cut the numbers out with the Playful Alphabet Dies (2 of each). I glued two together to make them raised as I didn't want to use Dimensionals or adhesive foam strips. I adhered them to the pop outs with liquid glue. I adhered a Bumblebee Trinket to the front with a glue dot. The calendar is adhered with Tear & Tape.

This is very easy to assemble once you get everything cut. Laura Lipe does an excellent job explaining how to cut the pop out part but I have also listed measurements and instructions at the end of my post.

I'm entering my card at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper December 2021 Challenge,  Creative Creases Anything Goes with a Fun Fold #22, Tuesday Morning Sketches Annual ATG Challenge and Marsha's Special 3-Week Watercooler Wednesday WWC331 ATG Challenge.

Measurements and Instructions:

Card Base: 5 1/2" x 10", score @ 3 1/2" and 7"; first score is a mountain fold and second is a valley so that it makes a Z card

Close the valley fold and on the back of the valley fold, mark with a pencil at the following points:

3/8"

1 3/8"

1 5/8"

2 5/8"

2 7/8"

3 7/8" 

4 1/8"

5 1/8"

At those marks cut in 1 1/2" along the fold.

Score at the end of the cuts on the 1” slits so these can fold up with mountain folds. Leave the ¼” slits as valley folds.

Front panel mat: 3 3/8" x 5 3/8"; DSP: 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Mats for panels on either side of blocks: 1 7/8" x 5 3/8" (2); DSP 1 3/4" x 5 1/4" (2)
Mats for block panels: 7/8" x 1 3/8" (8); DSP 3/4" x 1 1/4" (8)
