Gift Bow Angel Video Tutorial

Posted on December 4, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s project uses the Gift Bow Bigz L Die in an untraditional way – instead of a bow I’m using it to create an angel. When I saw this little darling I just knew I had to make my own version.

This sweet angel was so easy to make and I really love the way our Winter Frost Specialty Paper and Silver Foil Sheets add that special touch to make it shine.

Bubble Gift Bow Tutorial

Posted on December 2, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve been having the best time making all kinds of bows with the Gift Bow Bigz L Die that is available in the holiday catalog (page 37) and I’ve been finding all kinds of things to do with it.

So today’s video tutorial shows you how to make what I call a Bubble Gift Bow.

I love the combination of the Season of Style Designer Series Paper and Midnight Muse Card Stock used for this project and since this bow is quick and easy to make and you can make a lot of them from one piece of Designer Series Paper too! So go ahead and decorate all your holiday packages!

This little box is one that I use all the time and it’s so easy to make when you use your Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Diagonal Plate. (Shhhh…. don’t tell my daughter, but I made this little box to hold a special pair of earrings I made using our Frosted Finishes Embellishments.) If you’d like to see how I made this box you can CLICK HERE to see my Spring Sampler Treat Box Video Tutorial.

Supplies:

Stamps: Loving Thoughts (128436/125845) and Festive Flurry (131778/131781)

Ink: Midnight Muse (126860) and VersaMark Pad (102283)

Color Me Christmas Treat Box Tutorial

Posted on November 29, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I like to make little treats for each of my family members for the holidays. So here is my latest “pillow gift” that I made for the family using the Color Me Christmas stamp set. Each Treat Box is filled with a chocolate for them to enjoy Christmas morning.

You can check out my earlier video Spring Sampler Treat Box Video Tutorial below to see how the basic box was made.

I used a piece of our 7/16″ Trim to create the band that keeps the box closed and hid the seam with my image.

Papillon Potpourri File Folder Card

Posted on November 25, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Here is the fourth File Folder Card that I’ve created for you and is part of my video series. This card is a little different since it has a flap and the flap is tucked behind the popped up element to keep it closed. I really like the Papillon Potpourri Stamp set with all the different butterflies it contains and the fact it has two coordinating punches makes it even more appealing to me – how about you? Are you a punch-aholic too?

This card uses the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper and while I know it is for fall I thought it worked well with the butterflies since to me they looked like Monarchs. I used the greeting from the Truly Grateful Stamp set and stamped it in Chocolate Chip. You can find the Truly Grateful Stamp set in the Holiday Catalog – I love the fonts that these two greetings use and the images are wonderful too. So why not check it out?

Here is my latest video tutorial – File Folder Card #4

This video completes the File Folder Card projects I wanted to share with you for now, so I thought I would ask which card was your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite card and style was – I’d love to hear from you.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Truly Grateful (131730/131733) and Papillon Potpourri (132058/123759)

Inks: Chocolate Chip (126979)

Paper: Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper (132184), Sahara Sand (121043) and Tangerine Tango Card Stock (111349)

Remembering Your Birthday Video Tutorial

Posted on November 21, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

When I first saw the Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper I fell in love with the colors and patterns. My eye has always drawn to the gray tones – I guess it’s a result of the 70’s when everything was brown – grays just feel clean and fresh to me. And since I haven’t had a chance to play with it much yet I wanted to use it for this card – a pocket File Folder Card.

So what do you think? I really like the way this card turned out and I love the way the second sentiment pops out from under the tab – kind of a hidden surprise.

So here is my File Folder Card #3 Video Tutorial showing you how I created this card. I hope you enjoy it!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Remembering Your Birthday (131347/131350)

Inks: Basic Gray (126981)

Paper: Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper (130131), Smoky Slate (131202), Basic Gray (121044), Crushed Curry (131199) and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

Winter Frost Fancy Gift Box Bow

Posted on November 18, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I’ve fallen in love with our Gift Bow Bigz L Die recently and find myself reaching for it constantly. I’m really looking forward to making my own gift bows this holiday season and in the new year too, and since this die makes it so easy to create gift bows I hope to be able to share more projects with you in the next few weeks.

This is one of our Kraft Gift Boxes (found in our 2013 Annual Catalog on page 160). They are a great size for holiday a little something – I’m thinking I maybe filling this one with some homemade rum balls.

I’ve covered the 4 sides of the Kraft Gift Box with panels of Island Indigo Textured Card Stock that I cut 3 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ and layered with a 3″ x 2″ piece of the Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. I added these panels to the box using Sticky Strip (104294) for a really strong hold. For the top of the Kraft Gift Box I layered a 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Island Indigo with a 3″ x 3″ piece of the Winter Frost.

This bows a lot of fun to make and I thought it would be easier to show you how I put it together so here is my Fancy Gift Box Bow Video Tutorial to show you how.

Quick and Easy right? Isn’t it great that this Gift Bow Bigz L Die is part of the Weekly Deals? Want one too, you won’t want to delay since our Weekly Deals only last today until 11:50 p.m. (MT). Order one through me and I’ll send you a FREE Gift Bow Die Chart, It’s a handy reference PDF for making all kinds of bows with this die.

Posted on November 12, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Lots of Thanks File Folder Card

Posted on November 5, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Last week I shared with you how much fun it is to use the Envelope Punch Board to make a file folder card. Well today I’m going to share another card I created using the Envelope Punch Board. This one is a double tab file folder card I made using the Lots of Thanks Stamp Set and the Magnificent Maple single stamp that you can find in the Holiday Catalog.

This card also uses the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper – if you haven’t already gotten some for yourself there is still time. I think you’ll love working with these patterns and colors just as much as I do. The Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper is great for masculine cards along with all your fall and winter cards that you’ll be making. You’ve seen me use it on other cards that you can find in some of my earlier posts.

I really liked the way this card turned out and it seems so did my friends during our Stamp Diva meeting. So today I thought I would share a video I made for you on how to create this card – I’ve called it File Folder Card #2.

An original title right? Well this title, while not terribly original, gives you a hint that there are more File Folder Card Video Tutorials to come each containing a different style – LOL. So watch for the next one soon.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Lots of Thanks (129687/129690) and Magnificent Maple (131868)

Inks: Tangerine Tango (126946), Crushed Curry (131173), Chocolate Chip (126979), and Sahara Sand (126976)

Paper: Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper (132184), Crushed Curry (131199) and Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650)
