Happy Wednesday everyone. If you haven’t noticed I am totally loving the new Sweet Old Friends Bundle and the Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper. I cannot promise that you won’t see this bundle again, but I can promise to take a little break even though it is so fun and stinkin’ cute) and feature a totally different bundle next week.

For today, I am featuring a 4 card collection using the Sweet Old Friends Bundle. the Sweet Words Label and Dies, and the Silly Old Bear designer series paper pack. I had a ton of fun with these products and hope you enjoy this card collection.

Make It Monday #256 A-2 Cards and Gift Bag

Designer Series Paper, Make it Monday Videos, Mother's Day-Father's Day, Stamping Techniques / / ,

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a glorious weekend. Today I am excited to share with you a fun gift bag that I created using one piece of 12 x 12 designer series paper. Plus you can use the left over strip to create 6 beautiful cards. I will be sharing with you 4 cards that I created with my left over strip. I want to give a shout out to Julie Dimiatteo at the Paper Pixie for her great tips on how to get perfectly even handles!

Here is a look at two of the bags I created:

Gift Bag Measurements:

  • Choose a 12 x 12 piece of designer series paper for your bag and matching cards. Cut your DSP to be 8-1/4 x 12 making sure your directional design is along the 12″ side.
  • Cut strip of 3-3/4 x 12 DSP into six 2″ strips to create your six matching cards.
  • Score on the 12″ side at 4-1/2, 5-3/4, 10-1/4, and 11-1/2. Rotate your DSP and score at 1-1/4 for the bottom and at 1″ for the top. See video on how to make cuts and fold bag and create the prefect ribbon handles.


Here is a closer look at the cards created from the 3- 3/4

#256 A-2 cards and Matching Gift Bag

These bags are so much fun and I love Julie’s tip on how to create the perfect handle every time. I had a blast created so many of these bags for this year’s Mother’s Day. Although my mom is no longer with me, I had a good time creating them for some very special moms! Thank the Lord for He is good and always placing the right people in our lives at the right time. Let us rejoice and give thanks for all moms and grandma’s this week. After all, Mother’s Day is not just one day of celebration, it is a lifetime of love. Stop back on Wednesday for another video tutorial. Happy Stamping!

Make It Monday #251 ~ Strip Paper Piecing Technique

Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques, Thinking of You / / ,

Happy Easter Monday! I pray that our Risen Lord will bless you abundantly during this Easter Season. I thought it would be fun to go through my springtime DSP scraps to create a few fun cards for you. So dig out your leftover scraps and create something beautiful with me today.

Did you know that when you cut a 12 x 12 piece of DSP into six card fronts measuring 4 x 5 1/4 that you will have a strip of 1 1/2 x 12 left over? Fun, right? Well, when that happens, don’t throw them away or cut them down because today I am going to show you how to use them to create a strip paper piecing card. Check out the video below that explains how this technique works.

Here is a closer look at our cards for today!
