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

Easter Basket

Just a quick share

We had a workshop last night and I made up these little baskets for everyone

Brenda Q shared this cute little basket and I just couldn't resist

Here's a quick tutorial just in case you need to make a few for tomorrow

Cut a piece of card stock 6 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Score on the 2" side at 1 1/2"

Turn and score on the 6" side at 2", 3" and 5" JUST TO THE ABOVE SCORE LINE

Then score at the 6" all the way

 

Next using the Basket Weave Embossing Folder, you will want to emboss just the unscored part

Your scored part will fall outside the folder

Next cut the bottom tabs just to the score line

Cut out the small piece at the 6" score line

Gently curl the top embossed area, so that the top of the basket has a rounded finish

Fold on the score lines and add some Tear & Tape to the tab and adhere to make the basket

   

Next step is to add Tear & Tape to one of the rectangle bottom pieces

   

Fold that piece in and the two tabs in and adhere

Then add Tear & Tape to the other rectangle and adhere down

Run a 6" x 1/2" piece of card stock through the Basket Weave Embossing Folder for the handle

I added a mini glue dot to the ends and adhered inside the basket

   

I stamped the circle and little rabbit from A Good Day stamp set and cut it out with a 1 1/4" circle punch

Then cut a 1 3/8" scallop circle and added it to the front

I added some Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie and, of course, some candy!!

Valentine Treat Holder - Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper

I had fun making these Valentine Treat Holders - I believe I made about 45 of them in one evening!!

For family and for my club members!

They hold a nice little amount of Valentine candies!!

Here's a little picture tuturial

Please feel free to email if you have any questions

I used the Envelope Punch Board - gleaned this idea from another demonstrator and for the life of me I can't remember who, but thanks for the inspiration.

You will need a piece of card stock or designer series paper cut 6" x 6"

Place the paper in the envelope punch board with the left side at the 1 1/2" mark. 

Punch and score

Move the paper to the 4" line and again punch and score

You now have two score lines

 

Turn the paper 45 degrees and line up the score line on the score guide and punch and score

You can see the little "flange" in the picture below - that's the score guide

Do that with both score lines

Punch and score

And now do that on all sides and you now have your score lines

Now insert each corner in the corner rounder at the top of the envelope punch board 

Burnish all score lines

Once you have them all burnished well, you will now do some cutting

Notice that you have four "triangles" - two are small and two are large

You will cut on the LARGER triangles

Cut up to the first score line on either side of the larger triangle

Turn the box to the outside and add Tear & Tape or use Fast Fuse (you want a good, sturdy adhesive)

on the two corners as shown in the picture

Turn on the inside and add Fast Fuse (or Tear & Tape) to the end flap

Fold up the two flaps into the inside and adhere

And now your box is assembled

Add candy and embellish and it's a GO!!

I used the beautiful Bloomin' Love Stamp Set!
