Fun Fold Nail File Holder~Weekly Wed. #37

Leave a Comment / Christmas 2024, Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. Today I am excited to share with you a fun fold using one piece of 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and three scores. We are creating a nail file holder that is perfect for a stocking stuffer or a small gift for co-workers. I am planning to sell them at a craft fair this month, so I will be making a few more. They are super fast and easy. Check out the video below.

Project Supplies

  • 3 x 6 piece of designer series paper
  • Bone Folder
  • Liquid Glue or Tear and Tape
  • Greetings of the Season Stamp Set
  • Dies from Unbounded Love
  • Scrap of Basic White and Cherry Cobbler for tag
  • Gold pearl bling
  • Cherry Cobbler Ink

This project is super simple, just score at 7/8″ on each side of 3 x 6 DSP, and at 1/4 on the bottom. If you have directional paper be sure it is facing the correct way before making your bottom score. See video for details on angle top folds.

I love that you can get two holders out of one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP. Have fun dressing up these folders with some fun Christmas tags and bling. Let me know if the comments if this is a project you will be making. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Free Stamp~Fun Fact Friday!

Leave a Comment / Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday /

Sorry my title might be a little misleading, no Stampin’ Up! is not giving away a free stamp, I wish. The “Free Stamp” is actually a sculpture in Cleveland, Ohio that weighs about 35 tons and is considered the largest stamp in the world. Try taking that one to your next crop or stamping event. LOL

Oldenburg is on record as saying that “free,” references the emancipation of American slaves during and after the Civil War—a plausible explanation given the piece’s planned proximity to the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. Who knew? If you are ever in Cleveland, Ohio, it might be a good place to visit.

Today’s card was created using the Wildly Wheat designer series paper and the Unbounded Love Bundle. If you have not had a chance to check out this bundle, it is amazing.

I started with a Blackberry Bliss card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Wildly Wheat DSP to the card front. I then added a 1 x 4′ strip of Boho Blossom to the card front. On both sides of the Boho Blossom I attached a 1/4 x 4″ strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. The greeting is from Unbounded Love and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. I also used the dies from this bundle to crop the greeting and the accent piece. Add a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and decorate as desired.

I cannot believe that it is already November. Time to start brewing up some holiday crafting ideas. Stop back next week for some holiday crafting inspiration. Happy Stamping!

Halloween Ghost Treat Box ~ Weekly Wed. #34

Leave a Comment / Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Fun Fold Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. Halloween is only 15 days away and it’s time to start thinking about those special Halloween treats. Every year I try to create something special for my little neighbor friends. I don’t send many Halloween cards, but it is fun to create a special treat box each year. My video features a Halloween Ghost Box, but stay tuned to the end of this post for a fun witch box. I am still having issues with YouTube. If the video does not display click the image below for video. CLICK HERE for my YouTube Channel.

Here are the supplies I used for today’s project.

  • Basic Black CS-(Box) 5 ½ x 7
  • Halloween DSP- 1 ¾ x 7
  • Basic White -(tag) ¾ x 3
  • Spooky Treats Stamp Set-Paper Pumpkin September 2022
  • Memento Black Ink

So I decided to make my second box a little more girly. I used the exact same method for creating the box, but switched out the stamp set. I used the witches feet from Bewitching (retired set) and the witches hat punch (also retired). I think both boxes turned out so stinkin’ cute. So use whatever Halloween stamp set you have or click here to shop for our current Halloween collection.

I hope you have fun creating those special Halloween Treat Boxes. Happy Stamping!

Paper Pumpkin Alternative ~ Fun Fact Friday!

Leave a Comment / Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Fun Fact Friday, Paper Pumpkin /

Did you know that real pumpkins are good for you? They are about 80-90% water making them low in calories. One cup of pumpkin contains 3 grams of fiber and no fat or cholesterol. Each pumpkin produces about 500 seeds which are also a healthy choice. And if you live in the mid-west, you are in luck. Illinois is the largest produces of pumpkins in the United States.

While today’s projects features some of the stamps from our September 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, you cannot eat them. But, having a paper pumpkin kit delivered to your door monthly, might improve some crafting therapy and improve your mood, especially after all the supplies are used, you still have the stamp set to create amazing cards.

Here is a look at the stamps that came in the 2024 September Paper Pumpkin Kit.

And here is the card I created using one of the leaves from this set.

I used Old Olive ink and randomly stamped about 9 leaves going in a circle. I love the leaves and the vine branch in this set. Not to mention I think the with thanks and thinking of you will be two greetings that are well used. The splatter of dots is from the Nested Friends stamp set and is stamped with Early Espresso ink.

More Fun Facts about Paper Pumpkin

  • Each month, the project in the box changes, usually to match the season. 
  • The box costs $25 per month, and shipping is included. 
  • The box contains everything needed to complete the project.

Here is a closer look at today’s cards.

If you think this card looks different than the sample in the video, you are not wrong. I needed a thinking of you card for a friend, so I changed the greeting before I scanned my original. Sorry about that. But hey, it is nice to know that all cards can be modified, right? I just added a 1 x 2-3/4″ piece of crumb cake over my original greeting. I did not pop up my greeting, but that would be an option as well. So many choices! Love it!

I hope the rest of you week goes great. Happy Stamping!
