Friends 24-7 Double Page

Here is another double page layout from a scrapbooking class I offered in April. The background page is made using Stampin' Up! Décor Element Stencil - Kind Thoughts Brocade. We used Versa Mark Ink, a sponge dauber and clear embossing powder with the stencil. To see the stencil used on a wall take a look at the Décor Element catalog on the left side of my blog (page 23).

Bookmarks

Here's the item that was hanging from the Gift Box that I showed you yesterday; it is a ribbon bookmark. I took a 3"x 3"piece of chipboard and attached Designer Series Paper (Bella Birds) to both sides, letting it dry completely before continuing. I than ran the chipboard through my Big Shot using the Stampin' Up Pennant Die. The edges are sponged with Chocolate Chip Craft Ink and then applied Clear Embossing Powder. The letter is from the Lovely Letter Stamp Set (115030) and is also embossed. I used Sticky Strip Tape to secure the ribbon to the scallop medallion. The trick is to make sure you attach the letter correctly on the scallop medallion; think of it as upside down. At the bottom of the ribbon secure a Filigree Designer Brad (112577) with a knot. I would recommend using fray check or a lighter on the end of the ribbon to avoid fraying. I also attached a different design idea.


I made some of these for my son's teachers and they loved them. Now I am off to make a manly bookmark for my husband. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Gift Box for Scrapbook Purse

Here's the gift box that we made for the Scrapbook Purse Class. We stamped the top of the box with the Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set - (113734). To make the box I used the basic instructions of the A2 Card Box on Splitcoaststampers. Just different measurements: For the Bottom of Box – 9 ¼” square piece of cardstock, scored at 1 ½” all around. For the Top of Box – 8 ¼” square piece of cardstock, scored at 7/8” all around.

Make sure you check back tomorrow. I will show you what is hanging off the top of the box. It is super cute and would make a wonderful end of the year teacher gift.

Scrapbook Purse

Here is a Mother's Day Scrapbook Purse class I offered last month. The original design came from JanTink, she uses Stampin' Up! Carousel Notes and envelopes. I changed the instructions to use regular cardstock. I love doing these purses, they are so much fun. We also made a simple gift box for the purse that I will have in a separate post.

Manhattan Flower Cards

Here are a few Mother Day cards I made, which could also be used as a birthday, anniversary or wedding card. These cards are made using the Stampin' Up! Manhattan Flower Textured Impression Die. With a sponge dauber and a little ink you can make these cards with any colors. I picked So Saffron and Bordering Blue to go with the Bella Birds Designer Series Paper. I will have a post tomorrow showing you a wonderful scrapbook purse I made using the Bella Birds Designer Series Paper and a gift box. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
