Share What You Love & More

Swapping at an OnStage event is a lot of fun – it allows me to meet my fellow demonstrators from around the country and share ideas. So today I’ll be sharing some more of the wonderful swaps I received in Charlotte.

Today’s cards all use the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (146926). This pack of papers is one of my favorites since not only is it heavier it has a beautiful pearl finish too.

These first two cards have been teamed up with the Layering Ovals Framelit Dies (141706).

Done in Tranquil Tide this card uses the Detailed with Love stamp set 146603/146606)and beautiful 3/8″ Mini Ruffled Ribbon (146948). And can you see the texture in the background created with the Ruffled Embossing Folder (143699)?

And this next card uses the Wood Words stamp set (143925/143928) for it’s sentiment.

And how about this card using the Amazing Life stamp set (148750) that is part of the Last Chance List?

And finally this card uses the Crafting Forever set (143955/143958) as it’s sentiment for this calendar card.

And would you like to see a couple of the 3d items I received in swaps at OnStage Charlotte?

This first one is a couple of small treat items –

The little Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper (146902) pouch was made with the Envelope Punch Board and holds a little pack of tic tacs.

And a fun diaper fold using the Cute Crew Punch Box (148535) it’s part of the Last Chance list.

If you have any questions about the Last Chance List please let me know. You can see all the items in my Online Store.

Crafting Forever Note Pad & Pen Holder

It’s been a rough night here in North Georgia as the storms associated with this latest front moves through, and I’m a bit sleep deprived from the storms. I hope that as you read this you are safe this Easter weekend where ever you are.

Today’s post is going to share the project that I made for my team members as part of their OnStage gifts last weekend.

I’ve had several ask me how they were made – so while I’m using a demonstrator supply item to create these, I’ll be giving you an option so you can make some too. Here is a close up.

These Note Pad & Pen Holders have a 4×6 pad of paper in them that I picked up at my local dollar store. Perfect for jotting tons of notes – I’m always creating a list so I knew these would be great for my Team members too.

Here is a my video tutorial for you

Crafting Forever Note Pad & Pen Holder Video Tutorial

And of course a PDF tutorial too.

Crafting Forever Note Pad & Pen Holder PDF

If you love the floral image I used – you can make some too by using our Floral Grid Paper (150819). This is a special package of our grid paper and it is being offered while supplies last. You can see it in my video and while it isn’t exactly the same – it will work. Simply create a folder using a piece of card stock or even the tag board from your Designer Series Paper pack and cut the grid paper as desired to fit. Yep, it’s that easy! It’s not just grid paper LOL! I’ve included this option in the PDF also.

What do you think? Want to make some too?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Crafting Forever (143955/143958)

Sweet Soiree Box Video Tutorial

Love boxes? Here is a quick and easy one you can make to hold small items. I made this box recently to hold a gift that my Team received – a scissors charm.

The Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper is breath taking with the silver foil and one of my first purchases when I was able to do my OnStage Product Purchase Premiere that I shared with you back in November. The package has 12 patterns and each one of the 6 double sided patterns has a side with silver foil on it. So you’ve got lots of designs to choose from!

This adorable little box is so quick and easy to make that I couldn’t resist doing a video tutorial for you so you can make some too.

Sweet Soiree Box Video Tutorial

Easy? I’ve given you a complete supply list below for the box. And would you like to know how I made these charms?

Shrinky Dinks! Yes, you heard me right – a throw back to our childhood. I love watching them curl up and shrink. LOL!

Simply stamp the images from the Crafting Forever stamp set (143955/143958) onto the Shrinky Dinks using Basic Black Archival Ink and color them with Stampin’ Blends or Sharpies. (Be careful not to touch the line image or it may smear.)

I fussy cut the scissors and used a circle punch for the sentiments. After that I punched a 1/8″ circle using my Handheld Circle Punch. Heated according to the directions and then added them to a jump ring so that I could add them to the premade holder.

Quick and easy – since I made the scissors different colors we can all tell our scissors apart now!

Supplies: 

Stamp Set: Lovely Wishes (145924)

Inks: Old Olive (126953) and Berry Burst Classic Ink (144083)

Paper: Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (145664), Old Olive (100703), and Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Accessories: Personal Trimmer (126889) and Silver 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon (144213)
