More Organization – More Time for Crafting
This card uses simple slits and folds to add a 3-D pop to cards. We made them into a birthday cake and on the instructions you’ll see a wedding cake I made with the same method. I have also seen this technique used to make stacked birthday or Christmas gifts or baby’s building blocks. It’s all in the way you decorate it.
Keep track of cards you need to make with this project. Punch circles from card stock and write names & birthdays to hang on one hook. Move them to the next hook when the card is done. Blank pieces are on hand on the 3rd hook. At the end of the year, birthday pieces go back on the hook so you don’t forget to send those cards. Pieces for baby or wedding shower cards can go back on for anniversary or birthday cards. Consider doing the same with sympathy cards for “Thinking of you” cards.
I bought inexpensive frames from the local craft store. Mix refill ink with water or alcohol to stain the wood. The insert was made with My Digital Studio. You could also use “real” embellishments.
We used nails, but i would use small hooks next time so the pieces don’t fall off so easily.

I think I should have put this book mark on a plain covered book so you could see how pretty the book mark is. The book mark itself is a ribbon that wraps around the page you’re on and to the front of the book. An elastic hair band holds it snug with the help of a button. We embellished it with clustered flowers.
It was so pretty I was tempted to leave my Kindle App and go back to cellulose books!

A few folds in an 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper and one cut gives you 2 diagonal pockets that can open for an inside greeting too. We embellished a card for the back pocket and put a gift card in the front one. Add a bit of embellishment and you’re done!

Isn’t he cute? He’s made with “Punch Art”, punches stacked together. There’s no stamping. I used glossy paper (no longer available from Stampin’ Up!) which looks especially great run through the Big Shot in an embossing folder. If you don’t have glossy paper you could use Shimmery White card stock and you really don’t need to use a Big Shot.
