Altered Manila File Folder Mini book

I happened to be cruising YouTube, and found a

way to turn a manila file folder into a cute mini book.

I decided to give it a try.

I used retired Stampin Up DSP, and some of our newer stamps.

Day Dream Medallions (126467)

And a new set from the Sale-a-bration,

You're Lovely (133578)

 

Here is my version of the File Folder Mini!!!

 

 

 

 Decorating these is going to be fun.

Good thing I found a box of manila folders in my husbands desk.

Opps, Sorry Honey!!!! You weren't using them anyway.

 

If your looking for this, check out YouTube, search Altered Manila File Folder.

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 

Sale-A-Bration, Sweet Sorbet card

Today is Valentines day!

I hope everyone is feeling the love.

A great way to make someone feel the love is by making them a cute card and telling them how much they mean to you.

Here is a card that does just that...

 

When you spend $50.00 on Stampin Up products you earn one free gift from Stampin Up.

You may choose that gift from the 2014 Sale-a-Bration mini catalog.

 

Using the new Sale-a-bration Free paper pack, Sweet Sorbet (133521)

And the Sale-a-bration stamp set See Ya Later (133536)

Such a pretty paper pack.

I love the soft colors with the Black accent.

 

 

Also used, Apothecary Accents framelits (127003), Deco Labels framelits (130102)

Silver Glimmer paper (124005), Framed Tulips Embossing folder (121809)

1 3/4 Circle Punch (119850), Pool Party seam binding ribbon (125582)

 

I wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day!



Valentines Scraps

I try and try to use scraps, but my box of scraps grows faster than I can use them.

The last few weekends I have devoted to using paper scraps,

regardless of where the paper comes from, it all ends up here!

In This Box ......

All the large pieces, have been scored and creased into failed boxes, treat holders and envelopes.

I refuse to throw paper out.

My addiction to paper is worse than I ever imagined.

 

Anyway, here is a cute card idea to help you use a few scraps of paper from your

scrap collection.

 

 

I used the small heart die, from the Hearts Framelits (125599)

And the (now retired, but always my favorite) Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder.

And lots of little scraps of paper to put behind the hearts.

Add Dementionals, and you have an easy card!

Stars would be nice for a Birthday card!!!!

The possibilities are endless.

 

Happy Stamping!



 

Valentines Box Card

One more Box card!

This one is a Valentines for my son. I plan to sneak it into his lunch box.

I can't think of a batter surprise at lunch time!

 

I did not use Stampin Up paper but the Stamps, dies and punches are all Stampin Up!

I used The Monstermaniacs stamp set (134972) for his box card. I love the little space monsters in this stamp set.

I also used the following dies sets.....

Hearts Framelits (125599)

Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003)

Labels Collection Framelits (125598)

 

(Update on this card... Mar.2nd. He loved it. He had it sitting on his desk for a week!)

And these cute little Valentines treats, he will be handing out to his class mates.

The heart paper is not Stampin Up, however the stamp set is ,

Rev Up the Fun (130523)

 

 

 

Happy Valentines!

 

 

 

 



 

 



Valentines Pop Up Card

Here is one of the cards we made in class.

I did two versions of this card using the Hearts Framelits (125599)

And Notable Alpabet stamp set (126357) and the new Blessed Easter stamp set (133212)

 

 

 

A note about my Blessed Easter stamp....

I cut the Easter blessing away from the flower.

Which gave me Two stamps.

I can now use the flower and the saying with other stamps, or alone.

 

I borrowed instructions from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtxeNMzdJ50

and created my own version of the card.

 

And here it is.....

 

Front

 

inside

 

the inside of another version....  Beating Heart.....

 

 

On this one, I used 3 sizes of hearts.

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 



Pop Up Box Card

Everyone has been making these beautiful Pop Up Box Cards,

So naturally I had to try one.

Ok........ Three!

 

I wanted to use up some old DSP as well.

I ended up with some pretty box cards and gifts to give away in my classes as well.

I got my directions from splitcoaststampers.com

Dana Kowal did a beautiful job giving easy to follow directions.

 

 

I plan to have an advanced class to make this box card.

So stay tuned for the Class date.

 

And here are the ones I practiced making.

 

 

This card measures 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches, when closed.

I wanted a smaller card to fit into the A2 envelopes, so I down sized the measurements

and came up with the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size card.

Here are the two smaller cards I made....

 

 And my favorite......

 

Happy Stamping!!!
