Note Tag Punch Cards

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year.  I was just beginning to feel like it was the Christmas season and then it was over.  It didn't last long enough. I'd love to have two more weeks of vacation to recover from the holidays!

 

I've been meaning to post this project a while ago, so don't be alarmed that you're seeing a Christmas card.  I also made two alternative cards using the same layout but different sentiments.  This is a quick, simple layout that you can use for any occasion.

 

 

Isn't that cute?  The idea originally came from Dawn Olchefske (I hope that's how you spell her last name).  She shared a great way to get more use out of the Note Tag Punch.  I tried it, loved it, and now I'm sharing it with you in my latest video tutorial.

Measurements:

• Real Red--8 1/2" x 4 1/4" scored at 4 1/4"
• Whisper White--3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
• Merry Moments DSP--3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
• Silver Glimmer Paper--scrap

Here's a closer look at the other cards I showed in the video.

 

 

Simply change the sentiment and you have a great card for any occasion.

 

 

Quick and easy and yet they're still so cute!  Thanks for the idea Dawn.

Thankful Forest Friends Card

It's the middle of October, but it still doesn't feel like fall yet.   The temperatures have been in the 90's a couple of days this week.  I can't wait until it cools off and it starts to rain.

Even though it doesn't feel like fall, I have a fall card (and a video tutorial!) to share with you.

I made this card for one of my recent downline meetings.  I think it turned out really nice.  I stamped the leaves from the Vintage Leaves stamp set all over the background and then finished it off with some speckles from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.

The sentiment comes from the Thankful Forest Friends stamp set.  I bought the stamp set because I thought the animals in the set were really cute, but I'm also getting good use out of the sentiments. 

I added a small strip of leaves to the inside of the card so it would match the front of the card.  Would you like to see how I made it?  Then take a look at this video tutorial.

Gift Bag Punch Board

Today I'm back to share with you this super cute bag I made using the Gift Bag Punch Board and the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.

The piece of English Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) that makes the top of the bag slides off so you can put your gift inside.  The base of the bag is 2" x 3 1/4" and it stands about 6" tall with the top on.

Do you want to see how I made it?  Well you're in luck because I made a video tutorial for you.  Enjoy!

 If you liked the video I'd love it if you'd leave me comment, give me a thumbs up, or subscribe to my channel.  Heck, why not do all three?  :-)

As I mentioned in the video, the inspiration for this project came from a bag I made over two years ago.  You can visit this previous blog post to see a better picture of the bag along with a coordinating birthday card.

Here's a closer look at the project I made in the video.

Measurements:

• Melon Mambo card stock--5" x 11".  Use the Gift Bag Punch Board to make a medium size bag.
• English Garden DSP--3 1/2" x 11".  Along the 11" side score at 3 1/4", 4 1/4", 5 1/4", 8 1/2", 9 1/2", and 10 1/2".
• Melon Mambo Satin Ribbon--18"

Lots of Joy Christmas Card

Earlier in the month I participated in a Control Freak swap.  This was separate from the swap we did at convention, I just haven't had time to post it yet.  Not only do I have the card to show you, but I also have a video tutorial to share on how I made the card.  

The swap theme was anything new from the catalog, so I chose to make a Christmas card using the new Lots of Joy stamp set.  I always need lots of Christmas cards so it's never too early to start on them.

I got my color combination from the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (DSP) that coordinates with this stamp set.

Normally I share lots of details about how I made the card, but I think I'll let you watch the video instead.  But first, here's a closer look at the inside of the card.

Enjoy the video!

 Measurements:

Real Red card stock--4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"
Smoky Slate card stock--(2) 4" x 5 1/4"
Merry Moments DSP--(3) 1" x 5 1/2"
Whisper White card stock--scraps
Whisper White Seam Binding--about 5"

Isn't that cute? The box is 2" x 2" and it stands 1 1/4" tall.  Of course I filled it with chocolate.  It holds three small York Peppermint Patties.  I know you're going to ask for the pattern, so I made a video tutorial for you.  Enjoy!

 Here's a picture of the box I made in the video.

All-in-one Envelope Card

Several months ago, my downline Elaine shared this cute project with us at our monthly downline meeting.

It's an envelope made with the Envelope Punch Board that's held closed with a belly band.

Once you slide off the belly band, you can see the cute thank you card that's attached inside.  I've set this project aside until I found find the time to make a video tutorial for it, and I finally got that done.  Take a look!

See how easy they are to make?  Simply change the colors, the stamp set, etc. and you can make this for any occasion.  Here's a closer look at the envelope that I made in the video.

Along with a picture of the birthday card inside.

Ferrero Rocher Box

I can't believe that today is the last day of April.  That means 2015 is already a quarter of the way over.  Time is flying by way too fast!  I'm struggling with the fact that the school year is almost over and my kids have less than six weeks left in school.  Every year I tell myself that I'm going to make gifts for their teachers for the last day of school and every year I run out of time because I procrastinate.  Not this year!  I'm ahead of the game.  

I love chocolate and I think most people do too.  So I decided I wanted to give the teachers some chocolate as a thank you gift (along with a card and a gift card).  Of course I needed some cute packaging to put the chocolate in, so I designed this box.

 

 Inside it holds four Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

Isn't that cute?  I know you will be asking for directions, so I created a video tutorial so you can see how I made it.

Here's a picture of the version that I made in the tutorial along with all of the measurements.

 Blackberry Bliss card stock--9 1/4" x 5 1/4"

• 9 1/4" side across the top--score at 1 1/4", 4", 5 1/4", 8"
• 5 1/4" side across the top--score at 1 1/4", 4"

Rose Red card stock

• 2 5/8" x 2 5/8"
• (4) 2 5/8" x 1 1/8"

Painted Blooms DSP

• 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
• (4) 2 1/2" x 1"
