Each Wednesday, I will share what I have made for blog hops and challenges. This is my second project for today and it is for the Freshly Brewed Projects blog hop and this week’s theme is NOTECARDS PROJECTS.
I could have made a gift set or just one or maybe even 2 cards to show how you can make super quick and easy projects with them. I could have teamed them up any of the current Memories & More packs. However, I decided to create a 3D project to share with you.
This week, I am featuring the Hey Sports Fan Suite Collection and decided to make something to keep sporting event memorabilia, especially ticket stubs, in.
I created a mini expanding file using five notecards.
Each notecard has two 3″x 2″ panels attached at each end. These pieces were scored at 1/2″, 1″ and 1-1/2″.
When these inserts were secure, I glued the notecards together. This gave me a five pocket, mini expanding file.
I used one more notecard to create the front flap and back panel. Before adhering it in place, I secured a length of Misty Moonlight ribbon from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack.
The Detailed Trio Punch was used to round the corners of the front flap.
I cut a 6″x 5″ piece of Night of Navy wood grain piece of DSP to adhere to the outside of the mini file.
I die cut some of the tickets from one of the DSP sheets and added them to the front of the file.
For inside the file, I cut five large ticket shapes using Basic White cardstock. I also cut the joined tickets in Bumblebee, Night of Navy and Poppy Parade several times. For the file inserts, I tore two of the tickets so that I could fold this segment in half and staple it to the top of the Basic White ticket. These five tickets can be used for journaling.
I used a Bumblebee and Poppy Parade ticket strip, on the front flap of the expanding file, to give the file a name – ‘Memory Holder’. The title was created by adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of the two featured colours and cutting the letters using the Playful Alphabet Dies.
I finished the project by adding some of the Resin Stars Embellishments.
This is a project that I am SOOOOO happy with. Everything turned out the way I hoped it would. What do you think? I would love your feedback. I am already thinking of some other ways to use notecards this way.
Make sure that you hop along and see what the rest of the team have created.
Tomorrow is 3D Thursday – time to start thinking about what to create.
Until then, happy stamping.
