Mama Said..... Card by Martha Lucia Gomez
Mama Said....
By Martha Lucia Gomez
Hi everyone, Martha Lucia here with a fun project to share with you. I love my Get-It-Straight Laser Square and Multi Mat and creating this kind of cards is very easy when you use them.
MATERIALS:
- KellyCraft™
- Get-it-Straight™ Laser Square
- Multi-Mat™
- Jimbo Lojik™ Stamp Set E
- Card stock Whisper White, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler (Stampin Up)
- Designer Series Paper in two different tones
- Sunflower Trio Die-Namites Die Cut
- Big Shot (Sizzix)
- Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
- Snail Adhesive, Tombo Multi Liquid Glue and Dimensionals
- Thick Yellow Bakers Twine
- Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (Stampin Up)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut the base of your card using a whisper white card stock . The size of the card is a regular size 5-1/2"x4-1/4". Then cut two stripes of Designer Series Paper, one of 5-1/2" x 3/4" and the other of 5-1/2" x 1-3/4".
2. Paste the layers of the Designer Paper over the card base using the Laser Square to align your paper.
In my model I pasted the first layer 1/2" to the left side.
3. Cut two tags using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. For the first tag you can use a piece of paper of 2" x 4-1/4". For the second you can use a piece of paper 1-3/4" wide. The length of your second tag depends on your layering. After cutting the tags, layer this using the Laser square and stamp the sentiment. I used one of the sentiments included in Jimbo Lojik Stamp Set E.
To stamp you images or sentiments you can also use the laser square to align all your stamps.
4. Now that your tag is finished you can paste it over the base of your card using dimensionals.
5. Use your big shot to cut two Sunflowers Trio Dies in two different colors. I used the whisper white and cherry cobbler. Then paste the white piece over the red slightly to the right to create dimension.
7. To finalize the decoration you can use some negative die cut parts or scraps of your flowers. These little parts made a real difference to the overall look of the card.
I hope you liked my card and come back soon for more inspiration!

"I could be a morning person....". Vintage Lady Card by Candice Windham
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
Music-Inspired Clip Board by Candice Windham
Music-Inspired Clip Board
Designed by Candice Windham
Being the wife of a musician comes with some unusual requirements. Most are fine, but some are not sohot, like chasing down the set list when it blows away during an outdoor gig.
The set list is very important because it makes the show run more smoothly when they don’t have to have a discussion about what song to play next. It is placed on the stage floor in front of the musicians, hopefully out of view of the audience. I am getting too old to chase blowing sheets of paper, so I came up with a solution other than putting a rock on it.
This clipboard is not only a way to hold the papers down, but also a little record of their history, featuring photos of their CD covers as well as my favorite band portrait. I used the KellyCraft™ Get-it-Straight™ Laser Square and Multi-Mat™ Docking Station to put it together quickly, easily and aligned.
Here’s how I did it.
Supplies:
KellyCraft™ Get-it-Straight™ Laser Square and Multi-Mat™ Docking Station
Printed cardstock, 12” x12”, or roll of music scale print paper
Spay Adhesive (3M)
Printed cardstock, assorted print, 8 ½” x11”, three sheets
Assorted trims
Clipboard
Computer and printer
Spray paint, brown (Krylon)
Dye ink pad, Mudslide (ColorBox)
Sponge
Craft Knife
Swirl Stamp (Hero Arts)
Additional embellishments as desired
Instructions:
Spray entire clipboard, front, back and all edges, with spray paint.
Cut two pieces of music scale cardstock or paper a little larger than the clipboard. Coat the backs with spray adhesive. Raise the clamp and slide the cardstock as far under the clamp as possible. Smooth the cardstock down, then flip the board over and use the craft knife to trim the paper closely against the edge. Use small strips of leftover cardstock to fill in around the clamp. Repeat on the back. To patch, align music scale on the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square and Multi-Mat Docking Station. Draw a pencil line to line up the patch on the scale.
Tip: I placed the music scales at an angle to add interest. It required some piecing, but the KellyCraft Get-It-Straight Laser Square and Multi-mat Docking Station made it simple.
Stamp the swirl stamp several times with brown dye ink. Repeat on back. Sponge all edges with brown ink.
Set the type (Set List and the band name) and print it out on one of the small sheets of printed cardstock. Trim Set List to 11” x 1 ¼” . Sponge the edges with brown ink.
Place the clipboard face up on the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square and Multi-Mat Docking Station, turning it so the board clamp is to the right aligned with the lines in the KellyCraft Multi Mat Docking Station (or clamp to the left and the top and lower edge are against the square). Adhere the Set List strip with double-stick tape strip along the left side of the clipboard, about 1/8” from the edge.
Use the remaining 8 ½” x 11”printed cardstock to create layers 1/8” larger all around than the small photos and ¼” larger all around than the large photo. Sponge all edges with brown ink. Align and mount the photos to the layers using the Kellycraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square and Multi-Mat Docking Station.
Turn the clipboard so that the board clamp faces the bottom of the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square and Multi-Mat Docking Station. Align the largest photo about 2” from the bottom of the clipboard and adhere to the clipboard with double-stick tape. Place the smaller photos angled around the large photo. Use the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square and Multi-Mat Docking Station to align the outer lower corners of the photos on each side at the top. Note: These photos are not upside down. This is the way I placed the clipboard on the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square and Multi-Mat Docking Station to keep the clamp out of the way.
Add ribbon trims to the top and bottom of the clipboard (the bottom one will need to be aligned using the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square and Multi-Mat Docking Station).
Tie three 18”strips of trim to the hole in the clamp using a lark’s head knot. Add additional embellishments as desired to the clamp.
Add the band name to the back of the clipboard to add interest and give more personalization.
This clipboard will be used for the first time at an indoor venue on March 28th, which is a benefit for Concord Academy in Memphis, Tennessee. I hope it will be used many more times over the years. I only wish I had thought of this when the members of Sorghum Hill began playing together more than ten years ago. Since they play a lot more outdoor events, this would have saved me a lot of running!
