Altered File Folder...

I am heading out to Stampin' Up's yearly Leadership Conference today. But never fear! I have posts scheduled while I'm gone so you will still get some fun projects while I'm away! :) This first one is a 3D swap I did. Have you seen the File Folders in the catalog. LOVE these! And here is a fun way to alter them...
How cute are these?! Here is a close-up of the accent on the front...

I used the "Define Your Life" stamp set and then the swirl is from the "Priceless" stamp set. Then the spritzed dots are from a Soft Suede marker and the Spritzer tool. Colors are Bermuda Bay, Rose Red, Soft Suede, and Whisper White. Here are all four of the designs...

And then here it is all opened up...

It stays closed with a Velcro dot. I just love these and they look even cuter in person! :) I added a strip of the coordinating Designer Series Paper from the Thoroughly Modern paper pack to the notebook so it all coordinates!

Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy!

Buttons Galore...

I have been wanting to make a card with lots of buttons for a long time. I finally made one a few months back, and forgot to share it. So NOW you finally get to see it! Here is the card...
I used the "Season of Friendship" stamp set. The tree was perfect to allow me to use lots of buttons! Then just added some fabulous ribbon from the Holiday Mini...along with that sentiment. It's from the set in the mini that has all those greetings. (Forgot the name...sorry!) BUT....today is the LAST day to get any things from that mini because the new one starts TOMORROW! So let me know if you need anything. Here is a close-up of the card...

Look at all those fun wonderful buttons! They are from the Playground button pack as well as the Latte pack. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!!

Card Folder Measurements...

Hey there everyone! Geez....I've been gone awhile! Sorry! We have had a very busy holiday/weekend and I haven't even been on my computer. Gasp! I know! :) But....after you have waited long enough....I FINALLY have the measurements for you for THIS card folder! :) YEA! I'm SO SORRY this took so long!!! :) Please forgive me. Here you go...

You need an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock. (Easy enough! :) )

Then...with your 11" side up against the top of your scorer, score at 3 1/4", 3 3/4", 8 1/4", 8 3/4".

Next...put your 8 1/2" side at the top of your scorer and score at 3/4", 1 1/4", 7 1/4", and 7 3/4".

Then all you do is cut out the parts that are marked below in the photo...
Fold on all score lines to make the folder. Then use Sticky Strip to glue the sides together. Keep closed with velcro or however else you would like! :) Let me know if you have any questions....hope this helps!!!

Birdie Congrats...

First things first...I PROMISE I will get the measurements up for that card folder. I just haven't had time to do it yet. But after the comments I received and MANY emails I got....it sounds like you want them! :) So I will get them posted hopefully tonight. It's just been a few crazy busy days. In the meantime, I wanted to show you this card. My dear friend was over yesterday and we played with the punch for a minute. Well...I had this bird just sitting on my table and so I had to do something with it. So here is the card...with LOTS of new product that will be available on January 5th!!!! :) On to the card...
How cute is this bird?! It's one punch and it punches out the bird, the wing, and the branch! It's so awesome! Then look at that Pretty in Pink Satin ribbon! AHHHH!!!! LOVE LOVE!!! And then that "congratulations" sentiment is a new stamp set as well!!! So much fun!!! Here is a close-up of the sentiment because it's all pretty and embossed....

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting! :) Oh....and color combo is Kraft, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink! That's for you Pam! :)

Flower Bouquet That Lasts...

Here is another Christmas gift that I made this year. It's a set of 8 post card style cards with envelopes. A great place to write a quick note to tell someone you care. And all in a coordinating folder! The best part of this folder is my friend came over to stamp with me and she helped me make these!!!! So fun stamping with fun friends...that is the BEST! :) Here is the folder...
HOW much fun is this? Yes....I know....I can't stop using this color combo. It's Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, and Kraft. With a splash of Old Olive. :) I LOVE this one! Here is a close up of the flower bouquet...

They all have a corduroy button in the middle. The one on the Melon Mambo flower is Pretty in Pink. This color is one of the two new colors that will be offered in the NEW MINI that starts on January 5th! Let me know if you need one and I'll make sure I will get one to you! (Free of charge!) So I used a Chocolate Chip one, a Pretty in Pink one, and a Kraft one. LOVE these things! :) It is all held closed with a velcro piece. When you open it up, this is what you see...

And then when you take out the 8 cards and envelopes...

They are so simple but fabulous. :) I didn't put a sentiment on there so people could make it whatever they wanted it to be. Then here is a shot of just the notecard itself...

These folders really are so much fun to make. I don't have measurements here with me right now, but if you want them...just let me know and I'll get them to you!!! You just use one 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock piece to make the folder. A couple score lines and a little sticky strip is all it takes. :) Thanks for visiting! Hope you enjoyed this project!

How Do You Package a Gift Card?

I know Christmas is over, but I have a SUPER quick project to show you that would be EASY to adapt to any other occasion. It is using the Magnetic Boxes that are shown in the Mini catalog. Here is what they look like... Remember...you have until JANUARY 4th to order anything out of the mini. And these are a MUST HAVE! Seriously....they are not just a cardstock box. They are SUPER sturdy (probably made of strong chipboard covered, and SO nicely made. Plus...these are on the GIFT GIVING GUIDE promotion that is still going on until January 4th as well!!!! Anyway....sorry to blab about these but seriously...I LOVE THEM! :) They are Chocolate Chip color and seriously....so fabulous! You get TWO boxes for just $4.95!!! Click HERE and HERE to see other projects I have done with these. And then this one below was how I packaged up a gift card this year...

HOW EASY and cute is this? I just added some Designer Series Paper and some ribbon on to make this look beautiful. Then tied one of the tags that we made at my Christmas Class on the box and VOILA! Fabulous and easy gift wrapping! Here is a side view...

And then inside I just made my own shredded paper to put the gift card on...

Again....SO EASY to do and SO FUN to receive. :) Sorry this is after Christmas! But you could easily change it to any occasion you need it for! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!

Christmas for my Club...

I should have shared this before Christmas, but better late than never...right?! :) Just wanted to share my Christmas gift to my club members. It was packaged in a Treat Box box from Stampin' Up!...
I LOVE these boxes and used these a lot this year. Here are some close-up's...

I embossed the "Merry Christmas" sentiment. It made it shiny....to match the box. :)

I also embossed "Dasher." I tried to leave him a little texture-y as I embossed him as well. I also used textured cardstock. (LOVE that stuff!) And then for the goods inside...

I gave them a sampling of one of my favorite Designer Series Papers, Cottage Wall. I also have some coordinating cardstock in there as well. Then I gave a sampling of ribbon in another bag and a sampling of accessories in another bag. I hope they enjoyed them and I know I loved giving them to them! :) Thanks for visiting! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and are still continuing your celebrations!

Tags Galore...

This Christmas season...my Two Tags Die got a work out. :) I made oodles of tags and have to admit...had a lot of fun. Even in the hectic holiday "get-ready" time....it was fun. Because they were so quick! Here are just a few of the different ones I made...

Here's a picture of some bunched together...

And here is another one. I have LOVED this Ornament set this year too. It's had quite a good workout as well. :) Here it is...

And some all bundled together...

Even if you are all done with Christmas wrapping...they would be so easy to change out with anything else and make an easy tag! Thanks for visiting! Hope you enjoy!
