Monday Mystery Stamping – 5/13/24

Oops, not the best picture of our cards!

Horizontal/Landscape card
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.

Cardstock A:
Card base: 1 – 4-1/4 x 7-1/2, score at 2 & 5-1/2. Make a pencil mark at 2″ up from the bottom. Cut off from that point to the score line on each end.
Shelves: 1 – 3-7/8 x 4-1/4 score on the 4-1/4 side at 3/8 from each end. Adhere tear tape to the 3/8 pieces, near the score line. Cut on the 3-7/8 side at 1 & the 1-1/4, which leaves a 1-5/8 piece.
OPTIONAL Stand on the back of the card, for lots of writing. 1 – 3-1/2 x 8 x ½ (wait until your card is done to decide if you want this piece) score at 4-1/4

DSP A:
1 – 3-1/4 wide x 4 tall, goes inside the back of the base
2 – 3-1/2 wide x 3-7/8 tall, these can be the same pattern or different or 1 piece can be for the front and 1 for inside. Can also be from a scenic pattern the same as the first piece of DSP. These are the layers for the side flaps, inside and out. Cut these 2 pieces in half at 1-3/4. Pair up the halves with back or wrong sides together. Make a mark at 2″ DOWN from the top and cut up to the other side of the DSP. If done correctly, your4 pieces will look like the pieces on the left below. Otherwise, you get the look on the right.

DSP B: small pattern
1 – 3-1/4 wide x 3-1/8 tall, this will become the DSP for the “shelves”. cut on the 3-1/8 side at 3/4 and then 1, leaving a 1-3/8 piece. Adhere these pieces to the strips cut from cardstock piece #2.
Adhere all DSP to the outside and inside of the card. See the picture below for the placement of the shelves on the base. There is a wonderful trick to add the shelves, but it takes a little time to explain. Contact me and I will show you how to do that!

White/Vanilla:
–   1 @  3-1/4 x 4, this goes on the back of the card base for your message.

Tear tape will be helpful for this card, it moves!!
