Countdown 'til Christmas Day 2

I really love sharing a different calendar project each year and this year I have already made about 50 + of these

They are quick and I love that they stand up - 

Easel Calendars

I ordered the calendars from Vippies.com

Here's a brief tutorial - as always, contact me if you have any questions

Card Stock Base 11" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"

Cut another piece 4 1/4" x 4" and score on the 4" side at 1/2", 2" and 3 1/2"

Fold this piece on the 2" and each of the outer score lines fold the opposite way

Add Tear and Tape to each tab

Place this piece inside the card base with the center up to make your easel

Add the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series paper cut 5 1/4" x 4" to the front of the calendar

The calendars are 3" x 2 1/4" so cut a piece of card stock 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" - adhere calendar to this piece and to the front of the card

Add a sentiment - DONE!

Fun gift and so easy to put together!

Gifts for Friends at OnStage Orlando Stampin' Up Convention

It's always fun to share gifts with our friends at the Stampin' Up gatherings

This year I made little divided boxes 

I found the idea somewhere and it was shared by Hannah from the UK

These are so cool because they are pretty sturdy and you can put candy in them, OR you can use them for little trinkets, embellishments for your stamping friends, 

or just about anything you can think of!!

I ended up making seven of them - they are fast, easy and FUN!

Here's a closeup picture

and another one

If you are interested in making these cute boxes, you can download a pdf tutorial here

All of the products used and step by step instructions are included in the tutorial

Grand Prize for my Christmas Card Class - Sampler

It's always fun to share something special for my classes

Yesterday was my Christmas Card Class

I included three cards (2 of each ) and a 10 card One Sheet Wonder

They all had a great time and it was totally a fun day!

Here's the Grand Prize

This is the true story!!  

I took all the names and put them in a basket.  I actually waded up the slips!!

I shook them up and then had one of my gals choose the name.

She scrambled them up again and guess who's name she drew???  

HER OWN!

We had a good laugh over that!  

I cased this from Darla Roberts with changes since I didn't have the exact sets she used!  

I LOVE how it turned out

Measurements

The Frame is 12" x 12"

I used one piece of the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper for the background

Each square is Sahara Sand 3" x 3"

Very Vanilla 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"

Top layer (where there is one) is 2 3/4" X 2 3/4"

I measured 1" from each side/top and 1/2" between squares

I purchased the frames at Michael's

They came in a two-pack and I  bought some in White and Black

At the time I purchased them there was a B1G1F on all display frames!

Gift for a very special person

I want to share a very sweet story!

Last fall when I was really sick and hospitalized, I had to cancel my trip to On Stage

That was the first time I missed in about 8 years and I was SO disappointed

But I was also very sick and just out of the hospital

My daughter very kindly took care of everything, but it was still a disappointment

A good friend (who has adopted me!!) took my swaps, so I was able to receive some beautiful cards and that really helped

But I couldn't participate in the pre-order offered to attendees

One very kind demonstrator from the UK send me a "care" package

It included a little offering of a lot of the pre-order items

Can you imagine my feelings?

Zoey Tant (from the UK) took time to put together a package for me and it really touched my heart

Here we are together!

 

So......I made her this little album

It's called a Flip Flop Album and I've been doing these since before I became a demonstrator

They are fun, easy and I have made many over the years

I made this special for Zoey and I hope she will enjoy adding some of her Alaska pictures to it!

I used the Make A Difference Stamp Set (page 178) to stamp the front

Once you open up the album, you have places for 11 photos

A great way to highlight a trip

These make great Grandma Brag Books too

Once it's opened up all the way, there are five places for pictures - three of them are behind "doors"

This is the center "door"

Left "door"

Right "door"

To close it, you fold right, left, right left

Each section is 6" x 6" and it's very hard to take a picture when it's opened all the way out

If you would like a picture tutorial for this project, you can download it here

Hostess Gifts for May

I love making hostess gifts

I found some little notebooks on Amazon and even though they were cute, I enjoyed remaking the covers

I made each of my hostesses two of them - one for themselves and one to give as a gift

Of course I used new products from the 2018-2019 Stampin' Up Annual catalog

If you don't have a catalog yet, please feel free to email me at janinpb@cbbmail.com and I will be happy to send you one!

You really do NEED this catalog!  SO many wonderful products and ideas

These little note books were fun to cover

I cut out a pieced of card stock - I didn't write down the measurements (DUMB!)

To make one yourself, add these measurements

Front measurement times 2 plus 1/4" PLUS the width of the spine

So if your notebooks measures 5" x 3"

3" x 2  = 6" plus 1/4" plus 3/8" (which was the spine) 

The heighth is 5" plus 1/4"

So your card stock wold be 6 5/8" x 5 1/4"

Score at 3 1/4" and turn and score again at 3 1/4"

Add a piece of designer series Paper to the front that would measure 4 3/4" x 2 3/4"

I made a little pocket on the left inside by cutting a piece of designer series paper 2 1/2" x 2"

I scored each side at 1/4" and added some Tear & Tape to the sides and bottom and attached

I added a few of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls, but it would be a great placed to add some stamps!

I covered the little note pad with designer series paper and then adhered it with Tear &Tape to the right inside

 

The Note Pad

Here's a picture of the front of the pad

I found them on Amazon

I packaged them together with some beautiful Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon
