Envelope Pocket Cards - the video tutorial

I know you are loving your Envelope Punch Board. I know you'll love it even more after I show you another fun use for it today. I'm excited to share how super easy it is to make a fun pocket card! 

With one sheet of Designer Series Paper or 12 x 12 card stock, you can make two pocket cards like the one I share with you in today's video. I hope you will give this a try!

 

All the supplies used are listed below and can be ordered in my Online Store. Want to see another sample pocket card? I posted it HERE for you.

Flip for Perfect Blend! A Video Tutorial

I had a group of stamping friends last night and we had a great time visiting and making this card. Sorry to post so late, I have been enjoying the fresh fall weather and sunshine today. And it's taken me all day to get my mojo going!

Nothing like a perfect blend to bring friends together. 

I thought you might like to see what we made, so here's a step by step video for you!

Sparkling Festive Flurries Ornament

Just a quick post today to share a new video with you. Since I posted my gift card holder made with the Pop 'N Cut Card base (you can find it HERE) many of you asked for directions to make the snowflake ornament. 

 I am happy to share the video with you so you can make your own!  Listed below are the supplies that I used for this project.

 

I hope you've been inspired to add a little sparkle to your day!

Tutorial for the Pop 'N Cut Base Gift Card Holder

It's been a busy week but a highlight has been getting to spend time in the craft room! 

Here's the tutorial I promised for how to make the gift card using the Pop 'N Cut Base made by Sissix. I begin with a very quick overview of how the base works including showing the Pop 'N Cuts Label insert. If you're already familiar with that, you may want to skip ahead to the project. In case you missed it, the finished project is shown on detail on THIS post, it is a good idea to check it out first. 

 

 

Just a re-cap of the directions for you.

• Cut one card base using the die. 
• Lining up the bottom of the card with the left side of your scoring tool, score at 1-1/4", 3-1/4" and 7-3/8".
• Fold along score lines. To close the gift card, punch holes in the sides and thread ribbon through. Decorate as desired. 

Hope this encourages you to give this a try! See you tomorrow.

More fun with Framelits and the Tag A Bag Gift Bags

Oh, it's a heavenly coolish day here, and I'm still playing with ideas for Christmas. I received the CU-utest swap card from my very talented friend Erica Cerwin at convention and she went the extra mile (as she always does with PRETTY!!) to package it in a lovely bag envelope. She deserves all the credit for the idea, and today I'm sharing with you my take on it for Christmas. 

As I promised, I've made a video tutorial for you showing the step by step creation. I love pointing out the fabulous banners included in the Label Card Thinlets that are already scored and so easy to pop up on your projects. 

  

 I've listed the supplies you will need to make this below.  I hope that you feel inspired to create!

Wishing You a Merry and Fun Flip card!

I know it's only August, but I just couldn't wait to share the fun I'm having with the new Flip Card Thinlet Dies. Today I used the Label dies and made a card for you using the Wishing You Christmas set from the Holiday Catalog.

The Thinlet die supplies all that you need to create a card that flips in one easy step. All you do is pass it through the Big Shot and it cuts the label and scores the fold lines for you. You won't find the Thinlets in the Stampin' Up! catalog. They've just become available this month as item # 133479.

Since I knew you'd definitely want to see this card in action, I've created a video tutorial for you.

I knew you'd love this cute and quick project. I'm so glad you stopped by. Have a great day!

This first video in the series shows you how to make a shaker card using the Hearts Framelit Dies from Stampin' Up! I've always loved making a card I get to play with afterwards - at least until it gets sent to the recipient. Now it's easier than ever to make an interactive shaker! 

 

Supplies you will need:

Hearts Collection Framelits

Clear acetate

Craft foam

Whisper White Card Stock

Patterned paper

Embossing Buddy

Confetti or supplies to make your own

Perfectly Imperfect? This and That....

A little bit of this... a little bit of that... a pinch or dash, a smidgeon, a mish mash......a hodgepodge.....

Wondering what I'm talking about?

How about a journal where you keep a smattering of thoughts, ideas, pictures or quotes, creative ideas or goals for a certain time in your life - the window that is NOW. Instead of a perfectly themed or chronological album, this style of scrapbooking involves a randomness that is fun and freeing! A perfectly imperfect look at your moments of life-on-the-go and all that is in it. 

It's the Epic Day Journal and bundle of related new products! I'm so excited about this line that I made a video for you today, highlighting the kit and sharing interesting ways that you might use these items.

  

The following video from Stampin' Up! is a fabulous musical invitation to try This and That journal. I hope it leaves you singing (and wanting to experience the thrill of creativity for yourself.)

Make A Wish Card Video

Hi everyone! 

I decided to make a quick video for you on tips for creating the Make A Wish card that I posted yesterday.

I'm hoping to just keep making short videos for things that I'm currently working on or have just completed. It's getting easier to make them, I feel more relaxed, and hopefully my editing skills will improve. 

 

Thanks so much for taking a peek and letting me know what you think! 

If you'd like to purchase the supplies that I used to make this card, send me an e-mail and I'd be glad to help you.
