Sale-A-Bration Time

Sale-A-Bration is Finally here. Who doesn't like a black and white card? The combination is classic which creates a look of a dramatic contrast. I used the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper that is a free bonus product in the Sale-A-Bration brochure to create a sympathy card. These Designer Series Paper would also be excellent for masculine cards. Check out my short video demonstration below.


This Designer Series paper has Black and white imagery with gold foil accents on some designs. You get a total of 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double sided designs. "12x12" acid and lignin free.

The gray ribbon and black rhinestones are retired. If you don't have gray, you can use black ribbon instead. You can also color silver rhinestones to match any project using alcohol markers of which is listed in the products below.

Happy New Year from my family to yours!

Framelits and Dies Organization

Hi Friends! Let me share with you a few tips on how I organize my craft Framelit and Die sets. I like the idea of having a open concept and being able to see and have easy access to my dies. I currently store my Die sets in a Wafer Die storage by Stamp N Store.

I also have them on Stamp N Store's 6x7 magnetic sheets which actually measures 6 x 6 3/4 inches.

I created my own clear pockets to house my Framelit and Die Sets. Which are specifically designed to fit the 6x7 magnetic cards. To create these clear pockets, I used laminate pockets by Scotch 5mils, and clear sheet protectors.

You will need a trimmer and a 2" circle punch



Enjoy the 7 minute video below on how I created the clear pockets to store my Dies. Share in the comments below on how you store your Die Sets.

Easter Box Card




For Card Base:

You need one (1) sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock* to end up with two (2) pieces to make your card box. *Note: heavy cardstock (90-110 lbs) works best.

  1.  Take 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut two pieces: 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" and 2" x 11"
  2.  Take the 2" x 11" and cut 2" off the length to end up with 2" x 9". Save for later use to   make tabs for scene building.
  3.  Place 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" paper piece on Scor-Pal. Score at 3 1/2", 5", 8 1/2", 10"





  1.  Rotate paper clockwise (to the right) and score at 3 1/2" 





  1.  Take scored 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" sheet and using the cutter, cut all the 4 vertical top 3"       score lines to the horizontal 3 1/2" score line. With scissors, cut bottom right bottom   tab at 45-degree angle which will result in the removal of part of the 1/2 tab section (top 3" and bottom 45-degree angle piece).





  1.  Using the bottom edge of the card base as a leveling guide, fold card over in half   from right to left to bottom vertical score line and crease with bone folder. Fold card   again each time to crease remaining bottom three (3) scored lines using the card   base bottom as a guide. NOTE: Using card base bottom will ensure box card will be   squared/straight.  
  2. Flip the card over and fold over at the same time the top 3" tabs from the left to right side. Ensure they are evenly folded down then crease with bone folder. NOTE: DO NOT FOLD DOWN the far right top 3" tab. The box is now ready to have layered panels placed on tabs.




 
  1. The 2" x 9" paper piece is used to make eight (8) strips to help with scene building.
To make the strips:
   a. Score at: 1/2", 4", 4 1/2", 5", 8 1/2"
   b. Take 2" x 9" strip and cut in four (4) 1/2" x 9" strips
   c. Cut in half each strip at 4 1/2" score line. You will now have 8 strips.
   d. With bone folder, crease both scored lines on each strip.
