12th Sunday of Christmas

-

 On the 12th Sunday of Christmas, my demo shared with me...a no-adhesive pouch.


My mom, even into her 80s, loved making these pouches. They can hold chocolate, notes, gift cards and cash. They require very few supplies and stay together without adhesive!

Measurements (video tutorial and full list of supplies are located at the bottom of this post)
  • DSP (6" x 6", although you can use any size that's square)
  • Coordinating DSP or cardstock for embellishing (scraps)
  • Basic White cardstock (scrap)
Directions
  1. Fold one corner of the DSP to meet the opposite corner. Burnish the fold.
  2. Lay the folded piece so the tips you just matched are pointing down.
  3. Fold both of these tips toward the top, so that you are just over 1/2" from the top. Burnish this new fold.
  4. Take one of the other corners and fold across, aligning the edge with the fold line you made in the previous step.
  5. Repeat Step 4 with the other corner.
  6. Fold one of the two flaps down. Open pouch a little so everything stays.
  7. Cut out a snowflake from the DSP and adhere to front flap of pouch with a couple dimensionals.
  8. Stamp "Tis the Season" in Real Red on Basic White scrap and fussy cut out. Adhere over snowflake with mini dimensionals.
  9. (Optional) Press the bottom of the pouch in a bit to create more of a 3D look.
Here's the Video Tutorial

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
