Mystery Monday Stampin’

Welcome back for another Mystery Monday Stampin’! I am so glad you are here! Are you ready to solve the mystery and unleash the crafting possibilities? I hope so! The last two weeks have been so much fun!

Yesterday I shared your first clue. If you missed that post (with the list of supplies), CLICK HERE FOR CLUE #1

Now that you have your cardstock, designer series paper, and other supplies, it’s time to create! Simply follow the clues step by step to create a beautiful card. Feel free to add your own twist…there is no right or wrong way to do Mystery Monday Stampin’! Here are the rest of the clues:

CLUE #2
Score 5 1/2” x 11” card base @ 2 1/2″ and 6 3/4″. Fold and burnish card with bone folder. The 2 1/2 section will fold back onto the front of the card (to create a pocket). This is an A2 portrait card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 when folded.

CLUE #3
To create the pocket you need to cut a diagonal. Put the top of the 2 1/2″ score line in the cutting track on the trimmer. Trim a diagonal to cut off ~ 2 1/2″. This does not have to be exact! You just need an angle to create a pocket. *You will cut off a small triangle piece.

CLUE #4
Emboss the front of the pocket. Line up the edge of the 2 1/2″ score line inside the embossing folder and run through an embossing machine. *Reminder- you can go rogue if you want….Emboss or Don’t Emboss? There is no right or wrong way to do Mystery Monday Stampin’! (I love to add texture!!!)

CLUE #5
Important- Before gluing the pocket shut, you need to adhere the 4 x 5 1/4 piece of DSP to the front of the card. *Keep in mind, the pocket will fold back on top of this paper so some of it will be hidden under the pocket.

CLUE #6
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere pocket. Add a thin line of glue along the outside edge of the pocket (from where you cut the angle) and along the bottom. Fold pocket and press to adhere.

CLUE #7
Create a bookmark. Stamp/decorate the 1 7/8 x 4 3/4 white cardstock. Adhere to 2 1/8 x 5 cardstock. Punch a hole at top. Fold a (~5″) piece of ribbon in 1/2 and thread folded piece through hole then open the loop and pull the ends of ribbon through. Trim ends. Slide bookmark in pocket on front of card.

CLUE #8
Use extra white (or other) cardstock to create a focal piece for the front of your card: Stamp sentiment or image/die cut or punch/layer/color/embellish however you want! Adhere with Dimensionals to front of card below the angle on the pocket.

CLUE #9
Stamp image and/or sentiment on the 4 x 5 1/2 white cardstock and adhere inside card.

CLUE #10
If your card needs anything else add that now.
Decorate your envelope (stamp/emboss/add DSP) to coordinate with your card.

Have fun creating! I can’t wait to see what you create! Take a photo of your card and send as an attachment to my email (j.stark@goeaston.net).

Check back tomorrow to see my mystery card revealed.
