Trying out the BigShot – a card, a box, and the matchbox
I wanted to put up a quick post before I had to run into work. This week has gone by so fast and has seemed so busy, but the rest of the week should be more relaxing. On Tuesday, I was hosting a Technique Night focused on using the BigShot. Unfortunately, that night I had…
Making the “magazine” card holder
I’ve gotten a few requests to post the dimensions for the card hold I made that looks like a magazine file. I was getting ready to post the information, when I realized that this was actually made using a template that the super talented Becky Roberts created and sells. I contacted her about sharing the…
Exciting upcoming dates – retiring accessories list, decor elements phase 3, and Sale-a-bration!
So, I’ve been spending too much time in the last couple days cleaning my house and hanging out on Splitcoast Stampers and my SCS blog group’s blogs (they are some super talented ladies – check out links to their blog on the right side of my blog). All this web surfing and household cleaning has…
Decorating a Birthday Gift with Stamps
I’m always looking for ways to use my stamps in different ways. Sure I love making cards, but sometimes you need something different and its fun to use your stamping supplies to add that personal touch. In this case, my sister-in-law’s birthday is 2 days before Christmas. So, when I bought her a gift at…
Trying out a new bag style – paper purse
So, I’ve seen a lot of folks make different paper purses/gift bags/bag in a box/etc and I’ve dabbled a little in making these projects but only a little. With my mom here for the holidays, she brought lots of project designs and creative motivation. So I decided to try something new. These purses are really…
Finally able to post pictures
So, while away on my trip, I tried posting the pictures from last week. Unfortunately, my internet connection was apparently not good enough to make that happen, so I wanted to get out a quick post this morning. Like I said last week, we had a great time getting ready for the holidays by making…
Yet another holiday gift box
So, after finishing my DVD sized gift box for my Holiday Boxes, Bags, and Tags class, I decided I wanted to try to make a box where the top didn’t completely cover the sides (ie – you can see the bottom half of the box when you are looking at it from the side.) I…
Rescheduled! Holiday Gift Bags, Boxes, and Tags class
So Sunday afternoon, we were planning on having a Holiday Gift boxes, bags, and tags workshop. However, due to some illnesses during the week we ended up doing some open craft time and rescheduling the actual class. It looks like the new tentative class date is the evening of Tuesday, Dec 9th (same day as the retired stamp…
A DVD holiday gift box
Last night my DH was on the phone much of the evening so I had some free time to experiment with some more gift boxes. The first box I designed to be exactly the right size for a DVD or video game (its 8″x5.5″x1.5″). The sides reach all the way to the bottom of the…
Making Holiday Boxes, Bags, and Tag
So, tomorrow afternoon I have a workshop for making holiday boxes, bags, and gift tags. (Email me if you would like to join us, we’d love to have you!)We’ll be making some of each and like usual, it should be a good time. I wanted to get at least one sample up online ahead of…
Nifty file organizer for storing your greeting cards
So after 2 days of heavy drugs and lots of sleeping, I’m feeling much better. I tried crafting over the last couple days but only managed to sit upright for about 10 minutes before getting dizzy. I made some progress and was able to finish up a couple projects this afternoon and now put the…
Some other craft fair items
So, this is just a quick post to share some of the other items that I made for the craft fair. Unfortunately, there was not much traffic so I came home with most of what I took with me. However, being mostly paper crafts, they’ll last till the next one. 🙂
