Lip Balm Fun Fold purse-Weekly Wed. #38

Christmas 2024, Fun Fold Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Well it is time again for our Weekly Wednesday create it together video and today I am sharing a fun fold mini purse to hold a single lip balm. This is a super easy project and it is the perfect stocking stuffer. It also works well as a gift for your co-workers, even the men. Everyone needs a little lip balm, right? I am selling these today at a lunchtime craft fair, so wish me luck.

If the video does not load, just click here or the image below.

Project Supplies

  • 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (DSP)-score at 1-1/4 and 4-3/4″ rotate 1/4 turn, score 2 1/2 & 3-1/2″
  • 2 x 4 strip of coordinating DSP or cardstock-score 1-1/2″
  • Scoring Tool
  • Scraps of coordinating cardstock or DSP-closure and magnet coverings
  • Mini magnets
  • Tag Topper Punch
  • Embossing Folder (optional)
  • 1″ circle punch or punch of choice to embellish
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine-if embossing
  • Bone Folder
  • Paper Snips

See video for instructions on this fun fold project. I am hoping my craft fair customers love buying these as much as I enjoyed making them. I think if I were to create them again, I would choose another form of closure. While the magnets worked, they might not hold up over time.

Happy Stamping!

Fun Fold Nail File Holder~Weekly Wed. #37

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.

https://youtu.be/mZ6NmExkgQE

If you cannot view the video, click here or the photo below. You can also visit my YouTube Channel for all my Make It Monday and Weekly Wednesday videos.

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!

Halloween Ghost Treat Box ~ Weekly Wed. #34

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!

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!

Weekly Wednesday #30-Banner Stamping

Happy Birthday, Online Exclusives, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Join me in creating a fun card using the new Caring Leaves stamp set in the Holiday mini catalog. Although you may think this is a total fall set, today I am using three fun In-Colors for a spring/summer birthday card. I hope you enjoy this technique I am calling banner stamping.

This fun card will turn out differently every time depending on how you blend the colors on your banner panels and of course what colors you use. The Caring Leaves stamp set it perfect for this technique because of its’ solid bold lines. So grab your favorite colors and a few blending brushes and let’s get creating.

https://youtu.be/2tSSe_LPTk4

Project Supplies

Stamp Sets: Caring Leaves and Sweetly Scripted
Cardstock: Basic White card base, three 1-5/8 x 3-3/4″ banner strips
Inks: In-Colors Petunia Pop, Peach Pie, and Summer Splash, Memento Black
Accessories: Blending Brushes and Bling of choice

Caring Leaves Stamp Set

I told you this card was easy, maybe not a five minute card, but once you get the blending down, it goes pretty quickly. Have fun creating with this new stamp set. Don’t forget to check out all the amazing new holiday stamps in the September Mini catalog. Happy Stamping!

Rip & Flip Technique~Weekly Wed. #29

Just Because Cards, Stamping Techniques, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hey all I am back with another Weekly Wednesday video. Since last month was the big paper sale, I thought I would share a technique for you to use with your new paper stash. This technique really is a quick and easy way to create a variety of cards in five minutes. Check out the video below. I promise, it is short and simple!

https://youtu.be/E7IXudEqhPg

A Closer look…

Now here is a closer look at the Perennial Lavender paper pack that I used to create this card. The only trick to this technique is to be sure that you have coordinating colors on both sides of your paper. Stampin’ Up! does an amazing job at providing that for us. If for some reason you want to use two different sheets, no problem, just be sure to cut them to be 4 x 6 before you rip and then have fun mixing and matching.

Today’s Card, Supplies, and Measurements:

Gorgeous Grape CS- 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
Gorgeous Grape Ink
Basic White CS-3 x 3
Perennial Lavender DSP- 4 x 6 -rip and flip
Deckled Circle Dies
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Adhesive-my fav is our Liquid Glue
Stampin’ Dimensionals

Love, Love, Love this paper. Again, just be sure to cut your designer series paper a 4 x 6 so you have some wiggle room and then the two pieces will easily overlap making it easier for you to assemble. If you choose a one way pattern design like the image above, be sure to position the paper in your cutter so your pattern will not be upside down. Happy Stamping!
