4th of July Shaker Card

Here is a 4th of July shaker card that you don't have to have a Cricut for. This card is quick and easy but beautiful. My husband said it looked like fireworks lol.

Card base

4 1/4 x 5 1/2

Mats

4 1/4 x 5 1/2

4 x 5 1/4

The complete tutorial and instructions are on my video.

Fourth of July Raised Panel Card

This Fourth of July card was made using very few products and it comes together very quickly. I did use the Cricut to cut out the flag and the stars. But you could always just use a print out or a clip art.

The list of supplies we used is listed below. And to see the full tutorial just click the video.

Thanks and enjoy! E

Purse Mini Album

I have been working on this project for a few days and finally got the opportunity to finish it. It doesn't take that long, but I kept getting interrupted lol. I love these albums and they hold a ton of photos and memorabilia. I am leaving a link to the two part video and the instructions on measurements are below. If you have any questions please let me know.

Part one of the video tutorial: https://youtu.be/r6pEA7mz6oo
Part two of the video tutorial: https://youtu.be/FXGY6VyzC0U

The mini has 6 pages front and back, 6 flaps front and back and 6 pockets. The full overall size is 7"x7"x3" not including the handles. 

You will need the following or something similar to create this project. 

Front, Back and Spine

 2 pieces of chipboard cut at 7"x7"

Spine - 1 piece of chipboard cut at 3"x7"

To cover the chipboard I use two pieces of 12x12 craft paper glued together and then cut down to 

19 1/4"x9". Make sure to cut off each end on the long way so that your seam will fall in the middle of the spine piece, this makes it easier to cover. 

Outside cover sheets 

 2 - 6 1/2"x 6 1/2" of paper

Spine mat is cut at 2 1/2"x 6 1/2"

Inside Mat - 2 sheets cut at 8 1/2" and then either glue them together or I just put them down with the seam falling in the middle of the spine. 

Pages

1 - 7 1/4"x6 1/4" sheet , score on the 7 1/4" side at 1/2" on both ends

1 - 6 1/4"x6 1/4" no scoring on this sheet

1 - 4 3/4"x6 1/4" score on the 4 1/4" side at 1/2" on one end. 

Glue the 6 1/4x6 1/4 sheets onto the longer sheet using the 1/2" folds you made this will create you pocket. For the flap cut a slight slant off the 1/2" fold so that it will insert into the pocket easily. Glue inside one end of the pocket. Only put glue on one side of the 1/2" flap so that you will have an open pocket. (All this is shown in the video linked above)

Mats for Pages 

6x6 sheets for the pages themselves

4x6 sheet for the flaps

Handles

Cut at 12"x2" and scored at 1" down the long way.

Closure

2 pieces cut at 5x1 3/4", put your magnet inside and glue together. Round the ends. 

To create the faux leather look I used Kaisercraft kraft cardstock, Tim Holtz Vintage photo distress ink and art glitter glue. Then my bone folder to rough it up a little. (shown in the photo)

Any questions please let me know. And if you make this project please share with us in our members room. HERE

Tool Box With Tools, From Paper & Stamps

I wanted to create this last week, but things just didn't work out. Hopefully it will help someone with a Fathers day card. This is a cute tool box equipped with tools, just using stamps and dies and a little coloring. The video is uploading and below are the measurements.

Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/Ox1CFDUOSRA

Measurements:

Cardstock 11 x 8 1/2 inches

Score on long side at 2 1/2", 4", 7", 8 1/2"

Turn one turn score at 1 1/2", 7"

On the 1 1/2" score lines cut away the first rectangle on all four sides. Then just cut up on the square box that is left, this creates your tab. 

Find the center of the long center rectangle on the sides where you just cut the block away and mark lightly. Use your score tool to create a triangle box from the score line up to the mark you made. 

Glue the small tabs to the outside of the box. Then fold up the long flaps to close the box. 

If all this is confusing follow the video. 

I stamped out tools from and Altenew stamp and die set found here. 

Mat is 2 1/4"x 5 1/4", this is used on the long closure flaps. Decorate as desired

little closure piece is 1 x 2 inches scored in the middle and glued together. Glue one piece down and then put Velcro on the other to make the closure.

Mini Album ~ Card ~ ??

Here is a project we worked on this morning. I have been wanting to create this for a while but just couldn't squeeze it in. Well today we just did it. lol The video is uploading now and the measurements are below along with some photos.

Hope you enjoy the video: https://youtu.be/eyjeGdnSYVQ

Cardstock 10 1/4x5 1/2 inches

Score on the long side at 3 1/8", 6 1/4", 9 3/8"

Second piece of card-stock 5 1/2"x3 1/8"

This will glue to the small flap on the first part you made. This just makes more room for photos. 

9 mats cut at 5 1/4"x2 7/8"

For the top piece where the hearts are cut you will need two pieces cut at 5 1/8"x3 1/8"

Score on the long side at 1 1/2", 4 1/4", 4 1/2"

For this you will need two mats cut at 2 1/2"x2 7/8"

Cut your heart out of the flap as shown in the video

For the Top piece you will need a piece of cardstock cut at 5 1/2"x3 7/8" 

score on the short side at 3 1/8," 3 3/8"

The mat for this piece is one of the 9 you cut earlier

You will also need 4 mats for the inside cut at 2 1/2"x2 3/4", these go on after you finish the outside. 

The slit for the heart is cut as shown in the video. This will depend on how large your heart is. I just free-handed mine so it was about 1 1/5" all together. 

Mat the heart or leave it plain. 

The paper used was Rustic Cottage from the store: http://bit.ly/2s1D1dL

Beautiful Napkin Fold Card & Quick Coloring Technique

Here is a beautiful fun card that is easy to make but looks like you took hours. Below are the measurements and then you can just watch the video to see how it all comes together.

Card stock 9 1/2"x 9 1/2"

Score at 2 3/8", 4 3/4", 7 1/8" turn just one turn and score the same on the opposite side.

Now you will fold sides to the center as shown on the video. 

Make sure to fold both ways so it breaks down the fibers. 

Now fold up the points to meet the center. Again fold both ways to break down the fibers.

Contrasting card-stock 4 pcs 2 1/8" x 2 1/8" - cut from one point to the other making triangles.

These you will use to mat the triangles on your paper as shown on the video.

2 pc of another contrasting card-stock cut at 3"x 3" and split from corner to corner creating triangles.

These will cover the large triangles on the inside of the card as shown on the video. 

2 pc of card-stock (I use a third color) cut at 2 1/8" x 2 1/8" and cut from corner to corner. 

A circle for the center approx 1" and a smaller one for the center of that circle

Place your magnets under the middle circle and glue

Your opposite magnet goes on the back.  

Center pieces for stamping 3 3/4"x 3 3/4" and the piece I stamped I just use a die to cut out a top note shape. 

Have fun with these they are so easy but look so difficult.
