Fall is my favorite time of the year...I am so inspired by the changing leaves. (Have you noticed them yet...)
I saw a similar card designed by a fellow Stampin Up! demonstrator on the Demonstrator gallery, and wanted to re-create it to share with you.
The background was stamped with the En Francais' background stamp, Leaf stamp was from Gently Falling stamp set,inked with Versamark, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then sponged over the leaf image with Pumpkin Pie ink.
The Early Expresso cardstock on the bottom was dry embosed with our new Woodgrain Textured Impressions embossing Folder (Holiday Mini pg. 33 love it...). The sentiment was stamped with the new Seasonal Sayings stamp set (Holiday Mini pg. 34). It was then die cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits, and then I used the Essentials paper-Piercing pack.
Hope you enjoyed todays card... thanks for stopping by.
Yes, you read correctly...this is my first tutorial! (So be kind on your reviews)
Isn't this little box just toooo stinkin cute! Well, I am going to share with you how I created it from 2 of the Sizzix Mini Milk Carton Bigz L die cuts & the awsome Big Shot die cut machine!!!
Start by cutting 2 milk cartons (item #117310 $32.95) . Then you lay them out as pictured. Cut off the last section on the right. (my pic not exact...when cut, you should have 3 horizontal sections plus the little flap on the left.
This next photo shows them better....see only 3 full flaps plus the small edge for adhering them together. I used Tombow Multipurpose liquid glue (Item #110755 $3.95) to assemble.
then glue the 2nd flap to the inside of the box (looks like a tube at this point).
Then on the bottom, cut slits on each flap to help them lay down easily.
Looking down from the top of the box, you now have a hexigon. In this photo the bottom flaps have been glued down.
Then on the top of the box, fold on all the pre-scored lines to a shape, similar to a star. (because you attached 2 boxes, you will need to add two folds where they haven't been scored. (You'll see what I mean when you assemble yours')
Next, use hole punch & punch holes as illustrated, on each side of the points.
Fill your box with goodies, I also added some cardstock (basic black 1 1/2 x 11) & designer paper (1 x 12) for added decoration. I used Bakers Twine and fished through the holes & pulled tight to close box top.
Note: for the Mini Milk Carton die cut it is recommended that you use the Standard Premium Crease Pad (Item #113476 $8.95)
TaaaaDaaa!
Additional supplies: Ghoulish Googlies Bundle (pg. 27) Holiday Mini Catalog, Item #129853 clear mount bundle $16.95 , Item 129852 wood mount bundle $20.95. Basic Black Classic Ink, Basic Black Scalloped Dots Ribbon.
Today I am going to give you a peak at one of the recent technique cards created in my Technique Geek card classes. This card was created with the Perfectly Preserve bundle and Orchard Harvest designer paper from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. The card technique is a Suspension Card. You layer two pieces of punched cardstock between a piece of string, or in this case jewelry line, then place the punched out layer with string inside a larger punch out on your card base. (note, you need an extra layer of cardstock to hide the string) Here are some photos of the card...
As you can see from the samples, there are 2 different images on the center card layer, so when you flip the suspended image, you get another fun image on the other side.
If you would like to join in the technique classes, info is listed on the right side of my blog. Next classes, the 1st week of September!
Last week-end was the monthly Scrapbooking class here, and the girls & I had a great time. I enjoy stamping & sharing with all of you so much...
So, here are the pages we created,
This layout was CASED from a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator on the Stampin' Connection. There was very little that I changed. I used the Orchard Harvest designer paper from the Holiday Mini catalog, the new Gently Falling stamp set from the big catalog & the new Oval Accent Bigz Clear die cut. Yes, I did use a retired alphabet die...the new typeset Alphabet is on my wish list :).
Here is the 2nd layout we did...Halloween!!!
I found this page layout on my favorite scrapbook sketch site, www.pagemaps.com . And, I just had to use those little Googly Ghouls. They are just toooooo cute with the Googlie eyes!!! On the left page, we ran the 4 x 11 strip of Basic Black cardstock through our Spider Web embossing folder, sponged it with Whisper White Craft ink, and then cut it in to to stretch it to the 12 x 12 page. (One of my little secrets that I share with scrappers) The right page has 3 x 3 squares alternating designer paper(last years Halloween available on the clearance rack) the piece of old olive is dry embossed with the Chevron embossing folder. The squares of white will be swapped out with Halloween photos. And, of course, Frankie in the center 3" circle, colored with an Old Olive marker.
If you enjoy scrapbooking, my Scrap the Years class is a great way to get those pictures off that SD card on into your scrapbook!!!
I have more pages to share (so behind in sharing) so I will be back soon to share some of our previous months pages.
I'm baaaack! Well, I really haven't been gone, but have been absent from blogging much too long. I have been extremely busy with technique classes, scrapbook classes, and creating.

Today I am sharing a project I created with the Pinwheel Daily Calendar Template (Item# 128342 sale price $6.87). Birthdays are big celebrations in my family, so I wanted to create a birthday book to help me remember all of them. I printed the calendar template on 3 sheets of whisper white cardstock. I trimmed the 12 monthly calendar templates (they are approx. 2 1/4 by 7" each).
Then I cut a 8 1/4 x 9 1/2 piece of designer paper from the Patio Party paper pack (item#126910). I scored the paper at 2 3/4 & 5 1/2 vertically, and 7 1/2" horizontally. I folded on score lines to make three 2 3/4" sections with a 2" pocked across the bottom. 4 of the months with be tucked in each section.
Then, to decorate the front...Hmmm, how about the Make a Cake stamp set, Page 44, clear #126742 $11.95 or wood mount #126740 $14.95. Punched Midnight Muse cardstock with 2 3/8 scalloped circle punch, and image punched with 1 3/4 circle punch. Added a 1" belly band with Primrose Petals cardstock, & added Summer Starfruit ribbon.
That was fun :)
Now I need to get to work, updating my calendar pages so I won't miss the next birthday!
Hope you enjoyed this project... I would love to hear from you, If there is something you would like to see her, leave me a comment! Have a great week-end!!!
This week is the annual Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City. I was unable to attend this year, but was so blessed to have my downline Sarah take swaps for me. That means that I will have tons of fabulous card ideas to share with all of you.
Here are some of the swaps I sent with her. The 1st card is a "catalog lift" card. It was cased from the Stampin' Up! catalog, page 47, using the It's Wrap stamp set. The sample in the catalog is a decorated paper bag, but I have converted the idea to a greeting card. It goes to show you that the catalog is great place to turn to if you need card ideas!
The next 3 cards were created for a Technique Card swap. Since many of you have been enjoying my monthly technique classes, I wanted to get some great ideas for technique cards! These techniqes are Spotlighting, Ghosting, and the 3rd card is Bleach stamping. Can't wait to see all the great new swaps!
And, on another subject,just a reminder that the "Reason to Smile" promotion ends July 31st. With an order of $50, you can purchase this great stamp set for only $5 in either wood or clear mount!
