Project - Stationary box

2012-01-16T08:00:00.000-07:00

STATIONARY BOX

This is a fabulous kit. The base of the box starts with a 12x12 sheet of cardstock. You can adjust the sizes of the compartmentsto include 3 different sizes of cards, or a notepad, or tags, or anything youlike. You can include a holder for apen, and even a pocket for stamps. Thisis such a versatile box. In this example – the final base of the box measures2x6x5. The lid is 2-1/8 x 6-1/8 x 2-1/8. You can create this with just cardstock – butI wanted my stronger, so I reinforced a lot of it with mat board.

The approximate measurements are as follows:

Notepad: 3x4 StampPocket: 2x2-1/4 Card envelopes: 3x4 ½ ; 4.5 x 5-3/4; 3.5x 5-1/8 Tags: 2x3

Largest (back) pocket dimension: 1-1/4 x 6 Smallest (front two) pocket dimensions: 3/8 x 3.5; 3/8 x 2.5

So you basically start with a 12x12 piece of cardstock. Measure up 5 inches from two opposite sidesand score lines. Now cut on the scoreslines in 3 inches on both sides. I choseto reinforce with mat board, so the black piece is a 2 x 5 piece of mat board Iadhered to the bottom. Then I adheredthe two 2x3 flaps on top of the mat board.

To create the back side of the holder. Score lines as shown:

In my example I did not cut the above piece down to 11inches wide, I just folded over the extra half inch to the inside on the backside. The black piece again is matboard. Adhere as shown – that willreinforce the two ‘sides’ of the back of the box.

To reinforce the back side of this – cover a piece of 6x5mat board and adhere to the back.

Here is close up of pockets: There is one large pock that holds (in this example) 2 different sizesof cards/envelopes. The ‘blue’ pocketsare two smaller pockets, one for smaller cards/envelopes and the other is fortags.

Largest (back) pocket dimension: 1-1/4 x 6. Cut piece 1-1/4 wide and 8 inches long –score 1 in from each end and fold – this is what you will adhere to thereinforced sides above. You will createsmaller pockets and adhere to the first larger pocket. In my example I covered the two front pocketswith a cover piece of patterned cardstock.

Here is an example of the front two pockets cut andscored. Size varies based on the cardsyou are intending on storing in here.

Front score lines:

Here is the lid:

I created the notepad by putting book binding glue on top ofstack of pages and let dry.

I hope you enjoy!

Card - Stand-up Butterfly card

2012-01-14T19:36:00.001-07:00

Butterfly card

This is a fairly simple card - that looks amazing with all the details and in its upright position!

Just create a standard tri-fold card. Using a circle cutter, cut a circle out of the front panel. Cut an identical front panel with a circle as well. Adhere a string from top to bottom in between the two front panels, adhering the two panels together.

On the back panel, run a strip of cardstock on popdots, so that the front panel will stand up when tucked behind it.

I cut numerous butterflies in different sizes and stacked them in the center on the string.

I made a flower out of metal tape, tutorial is HERE.

I embellished the card and butterflies with liquid pearls.

Project - Jewelry organizer for Mom

2012-01-01T13:12:00.001-07:00

Again, now that Christmas is over, I can share this project I made for my dearest MOM!

Supplies needed:

Photo frame

modge podge

Wire mesh

Patterned paper (text weight works best)

Cup hooks

Stapler

Hanger

Embellishments

Instructions:

1. I took a wooden photo frame and removed the glass and backing from

it.

2. Using text weight patterned paper with a white core, tear strips of paper, allowing the white core to be visible.

3. Cover back of each piece of torn paper with modge podge and adhere to frame, covering the front and wrapping around to the back. Don't worry about what the back looks like right now. Repeat process until the entire front of frame is covered with paper. Let dry.

4. Ink edges of inside and outside of frame, just to give it a more finished, yet shabbyish look.

5. Using either the insert OR glass (that you previously

removed) as a template and cut a piece of wire mesh (screen door type mesh, can buy at Home Depot or similar) about 1 inch larger than the template.

6. Flip your frame over, so that back side is facing up. Staple the mesh onto the back of the frame.

7. Now you can cut paper to cover the backside of the frame and over the edges of the mesh (so it won't scrape you or the wall). Adhere to the back, let dry.

8. Flip frame back over to the front and use a ruler and pencil to mark where you want your cup hooks to go. I put them every 1 inch, but I put some about an inch from the upper edge and some about an inch from the lower edge - just for variety. I also put two on each side of the frame, one in each upper corner and one half way down each side of the frame. If your frame is hard wood, you may need to use a drill to make starter holes for you to work with.

9. Now you can embellish your frame as desired, in my example, I had found some adorable 3D butterflies that matched perfectly to my papers. Just make sure to put your embellishments where they won't get in the way of the jewelry hanging on the organizer.

10. Last step is to attach a hanger on the back for hanging on the wall!

Thanks for stopping by!

Jewelry set - Tiger eye (Red/Browns)

2011-12-29T12:37:00.001-07:00

The photo does not do this set justice! This is such a sparkly shiny set so nicely matched with the tiger eye. I am thinking this set will work out perfectly with the blouse I am planning on wearing to the Christmas party this year. This extra shiny jewelry should give just the right amount of sparkle to my outfit!

Project - Versailles "ATC Display"

2011-12-27T12:16:00.001-07:00

Here is another fabulous project from ClubScrap - had to wait until after Christmas to share - as I sent it to my MIL for Christmas and didn't wanna spoil the surprise - just in case she wondered over to my blog for a look-see...

We received this kit - that created the 9 compartment ATC Display project, for hanging on the wall - in our 2011 Versailles Club Stamp kit. I decided that the photos from our lil impromptu photo shoot around the very vibrant neighborhood would go nicely into this project for a gift. I embellished the display unit with stamped and punched out 'leaves' (all folded and adhered on popdots to give a real 3D look) using all of the gorgeous autumn colors from the "Comfort Zone" kit.

Loopy Christmas Ornament

2011-12-24T11:36:00.001-07:00

Here is a pretty simple ornament that the boys and I made up this year. I used some red patterned and green patterned papers from previous years retreat kits from ClubScrap.

Very simple project but be sure and have some paper clips handy to hold pieces together while the glue is drying.

Instructions:

Cut green pieces 5.5 in long and 1 inch wide. Red ones can be shorter, like maybe 4 inches. This doesn't have to be precise. Our ornament turned out fairly large, so if you want it smaller, cut your pieces shorter.

Fold a loop into each of the green pieces and adhere the two ends together. Now you could use roller

adhesive if you like, but i wanted to ensure it didn't fall apart in storage, so I used liquid adhesive for mine. In my case I used small clips to hold them together while drying.

Once you have all the green ones folded and adhered, and dried - then fold the red ones, put adhesive on both sides of the ends of both red flaps and adhere in between two green ones, again hold with a clip. Once those - sets of green/red/green dry - adhere all the sets together.

You can add an additional extra long folded piece for the 'hanger'. I cut mine about 8 inches long and 1/2in wide. I then cut and matted a circular photo in the center of the ornament.

2 Tiered Beaded Ornamant

2011-12-23T11:55:00.000-07:00

Here is a real quick easy ornament - it turns out pretty small - perfect for hanging on a tree! or you could even make these as attachments to your gifts as a small embellishment!

Instructions:

Cut (6) Red patterned pieces 3 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (6) Green patterned paper pieces 3 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (4) Red patterned pieces 2 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (4) Green patterned paper pieces 2 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Once cut - poke or punch a small hole in each end, centering the hole about 1/4th in from each end. Use a bone folder to sort of train the paper into a bended crescent or "moon" shape (see photo). Take a 2 in head pin and feed all 12 of the 3 inch pieces onto it. make sure you go red/green/red/green and keep the pattern of the paper facing down as you add them. Now carefully - take the bottom (first one) paper and fold up, insert opposite ends hole onto the head pin. Repeat with the next piece of cardstock and the next until you have a complete "ball" created.

Repeat the same process with all of the 2 in pieces, creating another smaller 'ball'. Use a pair of jewelry pliers to finish off the 2 in head pin with a loop. From here you can add some beads to dangle from the ornament. From the other end of the headpin, add a piece of ribbon to use as a hanger.

Finished ornament is about 2in x 3in.

Shadow Box Card - Version 3

2011-12-21T07:04:00.001-07:00

Shadow Box Card

This is a pretty neat card. It folds flat for mailing, but then pops up once opened and it can stand up.

Supply list:

Cardstock

Rubberstamps

Bone folder/Scoring tool

Adhesive

Popdots

Instructions:

1. Cut (2) pieces of cardstock 7.25in X 5.25in.

2. While cardstock is laying horizontally, score

at 1/2in and 1in from each edge of cardstock.

3. On only ONE of the two pieces, cut out a

center opening. Do not cut this opening too close

to the left/right edges, otherwise when you fold

your card flat, you will see the folded pieces in

your cut out opening. So if you are scoring at ½ in

then you want to make sure you have a ½ in space

between score line and cut out opening.

4. Fold on score lines.

5. Glue the front to the back on the first folded flap

On each side of the card.

Project - Just Dandy "On the Go Organizer"

2011-11-13T11:21:00.003-07:00

ClubStamp's "On-The-Go Organizer" from the Just Dandy kit.

I made this as a gift for a friend of my sister's who is an amazing woman who has beaten Cancer and so I used the unmounted rubberstamps that I had received for creating cards for the ClubScrap retreat. I used some papers from an old but favorite kit of mine (Let me count the ways kit). I did end up swapping out the yellow pad of paper and used a white pad instead. I love this little organizer - with all the little pockets for holding goodies and pad of paper - very handy little organizer.

Jewelry sets - Black cracked beads

2011-10-10T13:23:00.002-06:00

I fell in love immediately when I saw these beads. And where did I find the beads you ask? Walmart...yeh go figure! But they are just gorgeous - course I wear a lot of black and love it - but they also had the same style of beads in a few different colors! When you look closely at the beads, they almost look cracked all over it with the black color inside the beads. There is a larger bead and smaller bead in the same style along with some silver bead caps in the same strand when I bought it at Walmart. When I created the jewelry, I just had to pair the strand with some extra solid black beads and vola - a very versatile set!

Jewelry sets - Smokey and Pink set

2011-10-04T13:00:00.002-06:00

I made this set a while back, just getting around to posting it. Been busy trying to do some Fall cleaning. Since the kiddos were outta town, I opted to clean my Kids' room. Took me 4 hours to purge my youngest kids' clothes and reorganize his room. So much easier to toss out junk when the kiddo isn't scrutinizing my every move..hahahaha

Anyways, I love this set of jewelry. There is a necklace with matching Bracelet and earrings. The colors don't show up real well in this photo, but there is smoky brownish glass beads and pinkish glass beads along with various gun metal findings.

I got this kit from BeadBuddies.

Soooo with all the jewelry I have been making, I decided I needed someplace to put it all. So I went out and purchased a 10x14 photo frame to convert into the jewelry organizer.

Supply list:
Photo frame
Paint (teal, purple)
Gesso (white)
Mat board
aluminum screening material (Home depot)
Ribbon
Cardstock
Adhesive
Staples/Stapler

FRAME:
1. Paint wooden frame with white gesso. Let dry.

2. Paint about a 4-5 in. section with teal and then next section in purple, leaving just a small sliver of white showing between the two colors of paint. Let dry.

BACK/CENTER:
3. Remove glass and mat board from frame. Cover mat board with patterned cardstock.

4. Cut 1/2 inch strips of matboard and adhere along each of the four edges.

5. Cut a piece of aluminum screening mesh the size of the mat board. Staple to the 1/2 in matboard pieces.

6. Insert back into frame. On mine - some of the 1/2 in mat board pieces where showing, so I adhered ribbon around all four edges.

7. Measure and mark a dot 1 inch apart all along the lower edge of the frame. Drill small starter holes and then screw in cup holder hooks into frame. I also added 2 hooks along each of the sides.

Just Dandy - GTG card #5

2011-07-21T21:22:00.004-06:00

Here is another of the tri-fold cards from the Just Dandy GTG card kit.

On this one, I took a yellow piece of card stock, roughly 6 in x 2 in - I stamped a collage, using the grid image in brown, large dandelion in yellow and various little dandelions in dark green. Then I cut up the piece into 4 pieces each about 1 in x 1.5 in. I used a corner rounder to round each corner, inked edges in yellow, and adhered to the card front. This created a faux page of labels sort of look. Added a few additional pieces of cardstock for accent.

Just Dandy - GTG card #4

2011-07-21T21:02:00.003-06:00

This, also from the Just Dandy GTG card kit, is one of the tri-fold cards.

I really liked out this one turned out. I turned the card lengthwise and on the wider side of the front fold, I stamped the 'grid' image in brown in various areas, inked the edges in yellow. I then stamped the mini dandelion in dark green, varying the height of the flower along the edge. Then on the thinner flap, I tore along the entire edge, then inked the edges with green. This gave sort of the feel of green grass along the bottom. I added a couple of yellow strips for accent and stamped the sentimnet in black.

Just Dandy - GTG card #3

2011-07-21T20:55:00.002-06:00

Another one of the tiny gift enclosure cards from the Just Dandy GTG card kit.

Stamped the long sentiment in dark green directly onto the card back along the right hand side, ink card back edges in brown ink. Stamp the Dandelion Duo flowers image in yellow over top, but ensuring image starts more to the left in the unstamped area. Then I used brown distressed stickles and place a few sets of 3 dots as shown in image and let dry.

Just Dandy - GTG card #2

2011-07-21T20:38:00.003-06:00

Here is another one of Just Dandy's GTG gift enclosure card.

On this particular card I just very simply took a piece of the patterned paper, I stamped the "A gift for you" sentiment in black. I used scissors to cut curvy line from top to bottom, attach these pieces to the card back leaving a small gap between the two. Used a paper piercer to poke holes down both sides of the cut line. Then I took metallic copper flossing thread and sewed it onto the card. You can't see the detail of the copper thread in this scan, but it is very neat looking in real life.

Just Dandy - GTG card #1

2011-07-21T20:20:00.004-06:00

Well I had just a fabulous time working with this month's Greetings to Go card set this month.

I just adore these little itty bitty gift enclosure cards. This first one is so very simple. I repeatedly stamped the 'dandelion-weed weed weed' sentiment with toffee ink on the darker yellow cardstock mat, ink edges with brown ink. Attach to card back shifting a bit to make it catywompus (not sure if that really is a work or if it is, I am sure I misspelled it). Then on a the lighter greenish yellow cardstock, stamp the 'grid' stamp with brown ink, then stamp the 'mini dandelion' stamp 3 times about an inch apart. Cut the three images apart, ink edges with brown and attach to front as shown.

Gift idea - Glass etched pan (cricut)

2011-07-05T16:40:00.001-06:00

Here is the gift I made my stepmom for Mother's day. She and my dad own a ranch called "Kaleidoscope Ranch" - where they have horses. So using my cricut I cut out the name of the ranch and a couple of horse images out of some vinyl. I used the negative of each and attached it to the glass pan. Then I used "Armour Etch" etching cream on the glass. Let it sit for ohhhh 10 minutes, wash off and remove the vinyl. Wash again and let dry. Turns out very cool.

Apron with Fabric Embellishments (Cricut)

2011-06-29T16:27:00.003-06:00

Apron - I used my new cricket and was able to cut out the flamingos and the "Jan's Country Garden" from two different Batik fabrics to put onto this apron for my dearest mother for Mother's day. And if you are in the market for Dahlia tubers, check out her website Jan's Country Garden.

It's rather easy to make this - just use "Heat n Bond" and apply to the backside of your fabric. Leave the paper on the back, place the paper side down onto your cricut mat. Run your cricut like usual to cut it out.

Once you have it cut out, remove paper backing and iron onto the apron. Vola'

3. Using a circular punch, punch a half circle in the center of each of the 3 in sections (the folded up 2 inch bottom part).

4. Ink all of the edges of the entire piece.

5. Using a stapler, staple on the fold lines at 3in, 6in, 9in creating the pockets which will keep the gift cards stablized and in place.

Flower pot card (multiple)

2011-05-08T11:06:00.001-06:00

Flower Pot card

Instructions:

So I just cut up a flower pot that folds from the bottom and you glue along the right and left sides, creating a pocket from the top.

Then cut a panel that fits into the pocket but that sticks up out of the pocket about 2 inches. I trimmed the top of this panel into a triangle. If you panel is too skinny, add a larger triangular piece to your tag at the top - this is where you will attach your flowers and greenery.

I cut about a 2 in piece for the top of the pot and punched with edge puncher, added ribbon. I also die cut a tag (sizzix die) and stamped my sentiment.

Then I created my flowers using 3-4 flower punches from 3 different punches. Making sure to bend, curve, pinch and or trim edges to give them real dimension. I put them all together with a brad and attached to the tag. I used the 3 leaf petal from a sizzix die for the greenery.

Card - Flower Pot (version 1)

2011-04-20T08:35:00.000-06:00

So I had a very dear friend and co-worker who was retiring from work and I wanted to make an extra special card for her.

I had seen these style of cards various places around the internet and thought they were beautimus.

So I just cut up a flower pot that folds from the bottom and you glue along the right and left sides, creating a pocket from the top.

Then cut a panel that fits into the pocket but that sticks up out of the pocket about 2 inches. I trimmed the top of this panel into a triangle. If you panel is too skinny, add a larger triangular piece to your tag at the top - this is where you will attach your flowers and greenery.

I cut about a 2 in piece for the top of the pot and punched with edge puncher, added ribbon. I also die cut a tag (sizzix die) and stamped my sentiment.
