ToniStamps: April 2022 Online Class

Hi Crafty Friends!

Thanks for tuning in to this month's Online Class featuring the Hello, Ladybug bundle and a few other products.

You'll make (8) cards in this class, and you'll also get 2 BONUS project ideas in the class tutorial. It's a separate video and tutorial WITHIN the PDF tutorial.

Here are the cards -

Class packet is free with qualifying purchase, or $35. US only. Read all about it here.

I'm going to give paper measurements here on the blog, but will leave instructions to the video. Step-by-step instructions are included in the PDF tutorial that comes with the class packet.

Let's look at the video and cards from Day 1 of class -

The last card for Day 1 might be my favorite - I show you how to make these really cool BEES out of the ladybug punch. Do you see any glue lines under the vellum??? NO you do not. And they are all standing up, fluttering. That's by design! Watch the videos to learn how to make these adorable bees.

Watch the video from Day 2 - NOTE: I had streaming problems to Facebook about 18 or so minutes in, but the YouTube video is complete.

First card of Day 2 is REALLY cool, if I do say so myself! I made LIGHTNING BUGS out of the ladybug punch. You can call them fireflies if you really want to.

Paper measurements:

Pacific Point: 5 1/2" x 7 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Coastal Cabana: 3" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic Black: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", notched corner for punching out ladybug bodies and wings
Daffodil Delight DSP: 2" strip, to punch out lightning bug bodies

Card 2 from Day 2 is a mystery fold. Seriously. I made some cards like this maybe 15 years ago, and can't find any of them on my blog or files. I have no idea what I called this before. Some suggested matchbook or matchbox card, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. If you know what this fold is called, PLEASE tell me!

Paper measurements:

Then the bottom flap comes down to reveal the inside of the card:

Last card is a Tri-Fold Mini Slim. This was actually the result of me scoring my paper wrong, but I liked it so much, I decided to roll with it! Keep it closed with a belly band. NOTE: In the video, I decided on 2" x 8 1/2" for the belly band...that's too long. I'm cutting it back to 2" x 8".
