Cuttle-Pal Chick and Answers
I am so sorry to bore you folks to death, but I just can’t get off this kick! I am *so* into these super simple and quick cards lately using a combination of the Cuttlebug and Scor-Pal, and I can’t seem to put Nursery Necessities away - I just love it!!! Here’s my latest:
This is made in a similar fashion to the cards in my previous posts. White panel is 4 x 5.25″. The small folder was used to emboss with the Cuttlebug. Place the folder in the center, run through the CB, then do each side, so it is going through the CB 3 times. Then take it to the Scor-Pal, turn it upside down so the embossed squares are facing the table (wrong side up), line up the top of the embossed square on the4 1/2″ line, then score at the 4 1/4 and 4″ lines, pressing hard and going over it twice to get a good impression. Turn it over and it should look like the above. Stamp as shown, attach ribbon to panel, attach completed panel to card base — done!!! Another super quickie with the use of good and fun tools!!!
- Stamps: Nursery Necessities
- Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink
- Ink: Pretty in Pink and Basic Black Markers, Black Stazon
- Accessories: Ribbon, Cuttlebug, Stitched Squares Embossing Folder, Scor-Pal
ETA: And now that I see this on the monitor, I notice my little chickies need some eyes –a little black dot will do it — so often I think I’m *done*, then when I see it on the monitor some *unfinished* aspect of it just jumps out atme!!! Oh well — easy enough to fix!!!
My last few posts have generated a lot of questions, so I guess that means I didn’t do a very good job of explaining things — so rather than answer all the emails, I’ll try to address the questions here — and there are basically only 2 questions, but they’ve been asked repeatedly:
1) A lot of you out there are unaware of what the small folder is - so here’s a picture — it’s on the same size display card as the full size folder, it contains 4 small folders, is about $6. I got mine from Michael’s, but if you Google search for Cuttlebug, a ton of places will pop up where you can order them online. The two sets I have are called Stitched Squares and Fancy Corners. Here’s the picture:
2) Everyone wanted to know the exact size of the box I used here. I will be the first to admit, the Clear Bagsite is not the most user friendly! The box you see in that post is 4 1/2″ x 5 7/8″ x 1″ thick. It is item number FB17, and is found on this page. From that same page I also ordered FB6, which is 1/2″thick, and FB3, which is 5/8″ thick, though I haven’t yet used either of those 2 sizes.
That’s it , once again!!! Stay tuned for some fun uploads at SCS on Thursday, the 20th. Not sure if I can say or if it’s a secret,so I won’t — LOL!!! But keep your eyes open, and I’ll post here very early on Thursday and spill the beans then!!! Thanks much!!!
