MONDAY IS FOR MEMORY KEEPING

In a little over two weeks MDH (my darling husband) and I will celebrate our 40th anniversary!

When I was planning this double page layout, I had in the back of my mind that I would dig out a load of photos from across the years to add to these pages.

This week I am featuring three Mix & Match Ephemera packs – Good Times, Time for Celebration and Greetings for All.

Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (165353)

Time for Celebration Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (165354)

Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (164862)

I also decided to feature the new Party Banners Dies (165264) – my new favourite die collection.

For the first page of the layout I added three White Willow Banners to the 12″x 12″ Two-tone Granny Apple Green card. The banners were added using three strips of double-sided tape to create a pocket for journalling panels.

I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Granny Apple Green 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Then I used the Party Alphabet Dies (165263) to cut out the letters for the layout title.

I placed the ‘a great’ words on a strip of the same two-tone card and then created a torn upper and lower edge to frame the words.

A paper piercing tool was used to create the holes that were used to thread white baker’s twine to ‘hang’ the banner pieces.

The second page of the layout had the hanging banner continue with each banner holding a journalling panel.

The journalling panels were made from a piece of Willow White card. I used the Keeping Tabs Punch to cut a tab from some Granny Apple Green DSP. After securing the tab to the journalling panel, I added one of the black and white pears from the Goods Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

Both pages had two large pears adhered to finish the title – “We’re a Great Pear”.

I’m looking forward to rifling through our photos to find the six or seven that I will include on this layout.

Tomorrow I will start sharing the 25 cards I have made using the ephemera packs.

Until then, happy stamping.

FRIDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD

Today I have a Book Fold Card to share with you.

I also included a gift card pocket inside the card to make it perfect to send to a friend for a special occasion.

Using Misty Moonlight card and some of the Designer Series Paper, I created this Book Fold Card.

The greeting was stamped onto some Basic White card that was then cut using one of the tags from the Peaceful Earth Dies.

After placing the tag on the card front, I wrapped a length of the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon around the book fold edge.

I attached a bow to the wrapped ribbon before adding some Hues of Blues Flowers embellishments.

I added a strip of the DSP on the card insert.

Then I used the tag die to create an opening, in a pocket, to create an opening to insert a gift card.

The projects I have shared with you this week were so much fun to create – some were made using instructions from the Creativity Now event and the others have been my own.

It has been a great week. I’m not sure what I have in stall for next week but I am hopeful that you will enjoy what you see.

TODAY IS 3D THURSDAY

Today I have two versions of the same 3D gift box to share with you.

The first one is the project that I had instructions to make from the Creativity Now event.

This box was made using a panel of one of the DSP designs, measuring 11″x 4″.

This piece was then scored at 3″, 4″, *’ and 9″. Then along the 4″ side it was scored at 1″ and 3″,

When the 1″ tabs are cut and the score lines burnished, the box can be assembled. The lid folds across and overlaps.

The greeting was stamped and die cut. Then some leaves were stamped on the tag and the glimmer paper leaves were adhered onto the tag as well.

A length of the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon was wrapped around the box and tied in a bow.

Finally, some of the Hues of Blues Flowers were added to embellish the box lid.

The second version is made from the Peaceful Garden blue Glimmer Paper.

For this version I did not want to use a ribbon finish so I chose a belly band closure in soft green..

Then I die cut three butterflies using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies.

The greeting and die are also from the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle.

It is always wonderful to see how different one project can look just by using different papers, greetings and embellishments.

Tomorrow’s final project is a fun fold card.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
