Sesame Street Side-Step Card

My niece will be turning three this weekend! I cannot believe how quickly she is growing! I created a side step birthday card for her using the Fox Builder Punch with three of her favorite Sesame Street characters - Zoe, Elmo, and Cookie Monster.

I was inspired by the plethora of characters and animals that are on the interest using the Fox Builder Punch! I used the designs from Joanne Hodge for the Elmo and the Cookie Monster. However, Zoe is my own punch art creation.

This is my very first punch art creation! I'm really pleased with the results and astonished by how awesome the Fox Builder Punch truly is! I used the Fox Builder Punch, the small bow die from Santa's Sleigh Thinlits, the heart and small circles from the Owl Builder Punch, the smallest flower from the Blossom Builder Punch, and the 1/8" Circle Punch to create Zoe.

The side step card is perfect to display, so my niece can look at her favorite characters even after her birthday. This is how I made it.

First, cut a piece of cardstock 5-1/2" by 8-1/2. With the 5-1/2" side along the bottom of the paper trimmer, line up the right edge of the paper to the 3" mark. Cut from the 1" line on the trimmer cutting guide to the 6-1/2" line on the trimmer cutting guide. This will make a 5-1/2" slit slightly off center and will help create your stair case.

Next rotate your cardstock so that the 2-1/2" side is along the bottom of your paper trimmer. You are going to make 5 score lines from the 5-1/2" slit to edge of the cardstock only on the 2-1/2" side. Score at 1", 2", 3-1/4", 4-1/2", and 6-1/2".

Then rotate your cardstock so that the 3" side is along the bottom of your paper trimmer. Score at 4-1/4" from the 5-1/2" slit to the edge of the cardstock.

Fold your card in half just like you would a regular side fold card. Then fold the steps. Fold each score line down and away from you. This will make 3 peaks or steps.

On the front of each step I added a heart embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Finally, attach your characters.

You can attach flowers, flamingos, fruit, trucks, dinosaurs, snow flakes, Christmas trees, myriads of cute animals, and more to the steps. I bet this would make a gorgeous garden using any of our flowers stamp sets and dies. What embellishments would you choice to attach? I would love to see what you make!

Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration Card & Banner

Happy Fourth of July! I hope you all are having a wonderful day celebrating our nation's birthday!

Craft with Beth: Fourth of July Fireworks Card

I am enjoying creating different shapes and patterns with the new Painter's Palette stamp set! I used the medium and small paint swishes to create the fireworks shape. The background stars are from Balloon Celebration and embossed with silver embossing powder. The greeting and number four are from the Number of Years and Large Numbers set.

The inside of the card has starburst fireworks in Night of Navy and in Real Red. This starburst stamp comes from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set. I love this stamp set because it is so versatile. Not only can you decorate a perpetual birthday calendar, but you can create amazing backgrounds!

Craft with Beth: Fourth of July Rosette and Firecracker Banner 4th

Here is another patriotic project! I made a banner with red, white, and blue rosettes and firecrackers.

Craft with Beth: Fourth of July Rosette and Firecracker Banner 4th

The rosettes are made with Real Red and Night of Navy DSP, Whisper White cardstock, and Silver Glimmer Paper. The red striped rosette is 5" across. The navy rosette is 3" across. The star was punched with the medium star punch. The white starburst shape is from the Baker's Box Thinlits. To make the red rosette cut 2 strips of 2.5" by 12" Real Red DSP and score every half inch. To make the navy rosette cut 2 strips of 1.5" x 12" Night of Navy DSP and score every half inch.

Craft with Beth: Fourth of July Rosette and Firecracker Banner 4th

The firecracker is made by cutting three strips of cardstock and cutting them with the fringe scissors. The Real Red strip is 3" by 11". The Whisper White strip is 4" by 11". The Night of Navy strip is 5" by 11". Place tear and tape along the back of the navy strip and roll. Place tear and tape along the back of the white strip and roll around the navy strip. Do the same with the red strip. Glue a 3" by 3/4" handle to the top and punch holes to string.
