Hiya sistahs, happy Thursday with Sandiebella !
Today Sandiebella teaches us how to make a Tower card!
Supplies:
Stamp the Guinea image onto white card. Colour using your preferred medium then set the image aside to work on the card.
Score the card base on the long side at 1″, 2″, 3″, 5.25″, 6.25″, and 7.25″
On each of the score lines, measure and mark at 1″ and 2″ – top and bottom.
On the 1″ marks, cut across from the 1″ score line to the 3″ score line, and from the 5.25″ to the 7.25″ score lines. Repeat at the 2″ mark.
Fold back the outer 1″ sections and burnish with a bone folder.
To fold the scored/cut sections start at the top and mountain fold, then valley fold the next one, then mountain, valley and finally mountain. Try not to fold the inner score line on the valley fold sections.
Repeat on both sides.
Adhere the card layers…front.
Adhere down the paper layers. The centre section at the back is for writing a greeting, there is no paper layer.
Also adhere the paper layers to the 3″ squares.
Turn the square at an angle, line up the side points to the top edges of the centre middle section, and adhere down. Repeat with the second diamond, lining the side points up with the bottom of the middle front section.
Stamp the sentiment onto a strip on white card and cut out using a ribbon label die. If you don’t have a die, fishtail the ends of a 0.75″ x 3.75″ strip of card with a scissors.
Adhere the sentiment to the bottom front section.

Hiya sistahs, happy Thursday with Sandiebella !
Today Sandiebella teaches us how to make a Birdhouse Card!
Take the tallest bird and adhere to a 2.25″ strip of card. Set all the images aside to work on the card.
Hexagon Dies – 2-5/8″W and 2-1/8″W
Score the 11″ x 4.25″ piece of kraft card on the long side at 5.5″
Make a notch at 3″ and 7″, top and bottom of the card base. When the card base is folded these will be 1.5″ down each side.
Fold the card base in half and on the closed end make a notch at 2-1/8″. Flip over to the other side and again make a notch at 2-1/8″.
Score from one 3″ notch, diagonally through the 2-1/8″ mark, down to the 7″ notch on the opposite side.
Repeat on the other side to create an X as shown.
Adhere the white card and the small designer paper together.
Place the larger hexagon die approx 1.5″ down and centred horizontally. Run through a die cutting machine a few times to cut through both layers.
Adhere the panel to the card front. Reposition the hexagon die and cut out the kraft card.
Take another of the white card pieces and position it inside the front of the card – DO NOT GLUE DOWN. Holding the white card in place, turn over to the front and draw a feint pencil line around the inside of the hexagon shape. Place the smaller hexagon die in the centre of the pencil outline and run though the die cutting machine.
Adhere the card piece inside the card font, centering the white border.
Adhere the paper layer on the inside back.
Fold the diagonal score lines on the card base and crease well with a bone folder. Valley fold the 5.5″ centre score line and pinch in the top of the card. Crease the score lines again.
Take the 4″ x 2″ piece of kraft card and score at 0.5″, 1″, and 1.5″ on the 2″ side.
Mountain valley fold into an M
Apply adhesive to one side and adhere to the inside back of the card, flush to the bottom. Apply adhesive other side and fold the card front down. Use wet glue to give you some wiggle room to line up the ends.
Take the third white card piece and stamp the sentiment from the I Miss Your Face Sentiments set. Adhere to the back of the card.
Take the bird attached to the strip of card and apply adhesive to the bottom part of the strip.
Slide the strip into the card, position the bird with it’s feet over the edge of the hexagon, and adhere the strip to the inside of the card front.
Adhere the branches and the other bird to the card front.
Stamp the sentiment from the Encouragement Sentiments set, cut out using a shaped die. Punch a hole on the end and tie some thread/string through it and into a bow.

Today Sandiebella teaches us how to make a Half Star Card featuring Cowboy Squidgy
Cut a 2.75″ stitched circle from white card and a 3″ scalloped circle from navy card. Also cut two small circles (approx 1″). Adhere the image to the white circle and then to the navy scalloped circle. Set aside to work on the card.
On the 5″ x 7″ piece of navy card, measure and mark with a pencil at 3.5″ across the 7″ side, and 2.5″ on the 5″ side. Make an x where they meet.
Adhere the 4.75″ x 3.25″ panels, leaving an equal border around the edges.
Score the 5″ x 6″ piece of navy card at 3″ on the 6″ side.
Measure down 2.5″ on the score line and mark with a pencil.
Adhere the smaller panels, leaving an even border around the edges.
Fold and burnish the score line.
Score all three 1.5″ x 6.5″ pieces at 1.5″, 3″, 4.5″, and 6″. Adhere the 1.25″ white card squares and the 1″ paper square layers to the centre two 1.5″ sections.
Fold and burnish the score lines.
Apply adhesive to the 0.5″ tab, fold over the opposite end and adhere them together.
Repeat with all three pieces.
Fold the star pieces so that the sections with the paper layers are back to back, and the sections without paper are back to back. On the plain card section measure and mark at 0.75″. Repeat on on all 3 pieces.
Turn over an apply adhesive to the plain card section.
With the glue side facing down, line up the 0.75″ pencil mark with the X on the large card panel, keeping it a fraction back from the score line.
Repeat on the other side, but slide the smaller card panel in between before adhering the second one, to ensure there is a channel.
Apply adhesive to the plain card sections, slide the smaller card layer into the channel then open it up and press onto the glue. Repeat on the other side.
Take the remaining star piece and apply adhesive to the plain card section. Line the 0.75″ pencil mark up to the 2.5″ pencil mark and adhere to the smaller card panel right up to the score line.
Apply adhesive to the other side, push the star piece over so that both paper panels are showing, and press the glued section down firmly.
Stand the card up, and the half star should be formed.
Flatten down the card and turn over to the back. Stamp the sentiment from Cowboy Squidgy in the centre of the 6.75″ x 4.75″ piece of white card. Adhere to the back of the card.
Fold the two 1″ circles in half and crease with a bone folder.
Apply adhesive to one half of the circle and adhere to the centre star piece, lining it up beside the centre score line. Repeat with the second 1″ circle.
Apply adhesive to the top of both folded circles and adhere the image to them. These ensure the image can move side to side.
