Note Card Holder

Happy Anniversary to my hubby! Eight awesome years together and the cutest baby ever invented makes me a happy lady :) I even have a vase fuuullll of beautiful flowers of which the spider daisy is my favorite!

Ok, ok to the important part of this post hehe. First of all, I must say sorry to my scrapping friends. I really should do another scrapping video but I really think that everyone will like this project :)

NOTE CARD HOLDER

I love love love today's project!

I always like to find things to make as gifts for people and this is a super option and so much easier than you would thing.

And here are some pictures of the first one I showed you in the video.

Father's Day Card

OK, finally a tutorial on a card. Although I am more a scrapper than a card maker I have recently been working on a lot of cards. And since it is almost Father's Day I thought a Father's Day card idea may be appreciated. I found this idea in a Stampin Up catalog and worked out the templates for myself. Hope you like it!

9"X4" scored in half at 4.5"

4"X5.5" shirt

Collar marked 1" from the top

Draw and cut out a tie

*You could fold the paper in half 

and cut half a tie out 

and open in up to the full tie. 

This way it will be symmetrical.

Fold the collar down so that the top edge points down at an angle to touch the top of the tie.

Add eyelets, brads or buttons to the collar and adhere the shirt to your card!

PERFECTO!

Other examples...

Paper Birdhouse

Want to give something a little extra? 

Maybe you don't feel like making yet another card.

Well, try this out :)

??????????????????????????????????????????????

OK sneak peak!

And here is how...

Recap...

Cut on the solid lines and score on the dashed lines.

1. Fold scored edges inward.

2. Glue patterned side of tabs.

3. Fold up to make a box.

4. Fold flap over.

5. Fold roof over and glue down.

6. Make a separate roof.

2in x 5in

Scored in the middle at 2.5in

Glue over existing roof.

Paper Lollipop Flowers

Hope you had a super long weekend! We had a great time with company from Edmonton. I recorded these videos last week so I could get them up earlier :) I know way too many different flowers to make and so it is yet another flower.Yes, I already did a video on Lollipop flowers but this time they are paper and even easier to make!

And part two!

Next week will not be a flower I promise :)

Distressing

I love distressing photos and paper. Giving that edge a little finishing touch to make it stand out. Here are a few ways to do it. Take a look!

OK, so that was quick!

Here is a recap :)

Nail file

Works great on patterned paper and 

cardstock with a white core too!

Scissors

Gives the really distressed look!

Ink

Gives it that finished look.
