A QUICK UPDATE

This past week I have been trying to restore my craft room to some sort of tidiness. It looked as if a cyclone had ripped through leaving a craftermath.

On Sunday, of last weekend, Robyn Lawton and I cohosted a Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Launch Event combined with a B.O.G.O. Sale.

I wanted to share some photos of the event. For some reason, I can only upload a few images today. If you pop over to my Facebook page, you can see more –

For the rest of the week I will continue to tidy and do some planning for the rest of the year.

We were set up for 16 lovely ladies.

There were two make and take projects.

There were two project display tables.

There were six product playground experiences for everyone to try.

As you can see, we had quite a bit of setting up to do.

The display samples and new products were a great way let our customers get a better idea about what is available in the new catalogues.

I will have a new project and psot to share with you soon.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT IS A FINE DAY FOR A FUN FOLD CARD THIS FRIDAY

Fun Fold Friday is one of my favourite days of the week.

This week I have an origami inspired card. I found a sample of a simple miura fold card made by Lisa Brown back in 2020 – thanks Lisa.

This is the last project using my own ‘bundle’ for the week. The card features three panels with triangular folds. There is a 1″ wide belly band that holds the card in place.

I used the large stitched square die, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, to cut out the greeting so that I could add it to belly band.

I used a piece of 11-1/4″x 4-1/4″” Pool Party cardsock. Along the longer side, I scored it at 3-3/4″ and 7-1/2″.

For the triangular score lines, I measured in 1-7/8″ along the score lines and added a pencil mark (from the top on the left hand side and from the bottom on the right hand side). Then I scored from those pencil marks to the top and bottom edges. Then after some burnishing the triangles fold away perfectly.

I made a second card base so that I could create some templates in order to accurately cut the DSP panels.

Then I cut some of the ‘fan’ images from the DSP using one of the stitched circle dies in the Stylish Shapes Dies and added them to the card.

I really enjoyed making this card. Now’ it’s time to find some more origami inspiration for future projects.

Tomorrow is Saturday and time to introduce the products I will be featuring for the week. Make sure you pop by to check out what I have chosen.

Until then, happy stamping.

HERE IS MY 3D THURSDAY PROJECT, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT

For this project I used this week’s ‘bundle’ as well as the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. I wanted to make an open box with envelopes on each side.

MINI POCKET ENVELOPE DIES

These Mini Pocket Envelopes are too cute.

The box base measures 2-3/8″ along each side and is 3″ high.

I used two of the DSP designs to cut and assemble the envelopes. These were thenadhered to each of the box sides. The top flaps were folded down.

There are two dies in the set to make this very cute small bow.

Each of the four envelopes have a piece of Basic White cardstock, ready to write a short word of inspiration for the recipient.

I am always surprised by what I can make with stamps, ink and paper – and, maybe a few other things.

Tomorrow I will be sharing a Fun Fold card. Come back tomorrow and check it out.

Until then, happy stamping.
