Remake of Altenew Ambridge Rose Card, 5x6.5"

I made this Ambridge Rose embossing folder card this past May. I received a lot of questions about it and people asked if I'd make a tutorial for it. I finally got to it, The original card was 6x6 which was a pretty card but I found I didn't have an envelope for it. I have a hard enough time sending a card but without an envelope...it takes me months to make an envelope.

So I decided to remake it in a more standard size, 5x6.5". I have a whole package of envelopes for this size card and no additional postage!

Here's the link to my YouTube video:

I put a link to the Ambridge Embossing folder below, this blogger doesn't like me to put too many links, if I do, they often suspend my post or delete it because they believe it's spam.

I greatly appreciate those that use my affiliate link, it gives me a small commission at NO additional cost to you. All of the products used in this video were paid for by me.

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember!

 

It's September and if you follow Simon Says Stamp, that means it's STAMPtember! I have the "Happy Hauntings" stamp set. It's this cute little dragon with all the perfect sentiments for Halloween cards or tags! I made these 2 tags and on the back I added a cardstock pocket to hold my favorite Halloween treat, The marshmallow flavored, Witch's Brew KitKat.

I've had these tags for over 5 years. I think back then I had the idea that I'd make all my Christmas tags. Oh well, they came in handy for this project. The tags are 2" x 4.25", The candy fits perfectly on the back of the tag. I measured depth of the candy (3/8"), the width of the candy (1 3/8"). I didn't bother with the height since the pocket doesn't cover the entire height of the candy.

I also left 1/4" tab on each side of the pocket to glue to the tag. So to make a tag, you need:

Tab 1/4" + candy depth 3/8" + width of candy 1 3/8" +candy depth 3/8" + tab 1/4". So I needed a piece of paper 2 5/8" wide. I just decided the paper should cover only part of the candy bar, showing the witch's face, so I used 

2 3/8" tall.

The cardstock needs to be 2 3/8' x 2 5/8". 

Score on the 2 5/8" side at:

1/4", 5/8", 2", 2 3/8".

Turn the cardstock and on the 2 3/8" side score at 3/8" (This is the bottom).

Fold on all score lines. On the bottom, cut off the outer square on the right and left. Fold this bottom score line up, glue the 2 outer corners that remain onto the right and left folds. It will for the bottom of the box. Attach the right and left edges to the tag with glue. I folded these up and attached them, I thought it would be easier to fit the candy in the pocket this way.

On September 2, there will be a hop that I will be a part of, some special codes for GWP, come back here or visit my IG @Susanbcards for details!

Happy Stamptember!
