June Blog hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop!

We are happy you could join us each month to see our monthly hop.  So hop from one blog to the next until you get back to here. You will find the next person to hop to at the bottom of each post, her name will be highlighted.  

This month I would like to share with you a cascading card I made for our friends 50th Wedding Anniversary. 

I used White daisy cardstock and gold for the "50".  I cut two pcs of 5 1/2 x 12 on an angle. Directions are below.

Directions:  Cut 2--- 12" pcs of cardstock at 5 1/2" on one end and 2 1/2" on the other end. One side will be the straight edge.  Score at 2", 4" 8" 10"  on the 6" just make a pencil mark. At the 5 1/2" end  Find the center 2 3/4" and at the other end the center will be 1 1/4" , draw a pencil line down  of the long strip, center.. On one strip cut score line at 2" 10" to the center pencil line.  On the other strip, cut opposite (from the other side) at 2" 10"   At the 6"  mark cut to center pencil mark on the opposite side. So one pc you would cut from the top  at 2" 10" to center line and on the other strip you would cut from the bottom at 2" and 10".  Then slide the 2 pcs together with the tallest at the back.  

You can make this for any occasion and use any Cricut cuts.  These are the cuts I used:
50----------------Artiste  2"
butterflies-----------Artfully Sent   Icon Pg 14 Shift R 2"
circle behind the 50--------------Artbooking Pg 61 Photo Mat 2  8"
hearts---------Artbooking  Pg 48 Border shift Real Dial size 2 1/2"
Banner for anniversary----------AP Pg 26 shape 1  1"

Happy 4th of July!

I happened to have wrapping paper to match the card.  This was made for my grandson's 10th birthday.  

Directions for this card:
Start with an 8 x 12 pc of cardstock
on the 8 1/2" side mark at 2  1/2" on top and bottom opposite sides.
Cut the paper, you will have a wedge, one end will be smaller and the other end will be wide.
Make a light pencil mark down the center of these strips.  Stamp on both sides.
Score on the long side at 2" 4" 8" 10"  At the 6" pencil mark both sides.
Put both pcs together with wide ends matching, cut at the 2" score, right side on top pc and left side on bottom pc to the center pencil line..
Do the same rotating the cuts as you go down at the 6" (just pencil marks not scored) and at the 8" score. Weave the strips together and this will flatten to fit in an envelope.   Any questions, just email me at StampN4Joy@aol.com
I cut the stars and front banner  using the CTMH AP Cricut cartridge.  I also slide a gift card in one of the slots.
Think  of the possibilities!
