Triangle Tri-Fold meets Scallop Trim Border & Corner Punches w/Free PDF Instructions

I've been wanting to make a Triangle Tri-Fold card for the longest time and I finally got around to it (See FREE PDF Instructions below).  I don't know why I waited so long.  It was SO easy to do! 

Plus, I also tried Stampin' Up!'s new Scallop Corner and Scallop Trim Border punches together.  Took a little practice, but I love the look!  Check out this Corner & Border Punch video as well as links to punch template guides.

Did you know?..The Scallop Trim Border Punch is FREE!  That's right.  With your $50 purchase - you can own one for FREE.

Sharing Mini Milk Carton Gift Box Instructions

As promised, today I'm sharing the instructions to make the Mini Milk Carton Gift Box from the February Control Freaks Tour

For the tour, I shared an Easter Mini Milk Carton Gift BoxHowever, the box below was the original Gift Box I made for Stampin' Up!'s Mini Milk Cartons, which two fit nicely. 

In fact, this was one of the projects we did at my last month's DOstamperSTARS quarterly Camp-A-Rama. (a quarterly camp and recognition meeting I do especially for my demonstrators)!

Mini-Milk-Carton-Gift-Box
Mini-Milk-Carton-Ensemble
I saw a similiar box somewhere but no instructions.  So I sat down and figured it out...trial and error.  It was a good exercise in making boxes.  I learned a lot and think I'm better at it now.  Sometimes you just have to dig in and figure things out for yourself...you can DO it!

But today - you don't have to DO it yourself, you get the fruits of my labor!

DOcelebration Event Day #3: Tart & Tangy Gift Set, Free Stamps

Welcome to Day #3 of my DOcelebration Online Event

I'm just blown away by the number of comments and as well as the comments themselves.  You guys are awesome.  I really appreciate your generous feedback.  I'm definitely feeling the Love! 

Today's Free Stamps, Project Pack & Template PDF:

  • FREE Stamp Set: Stampin' Up!'s Tart & Tangy
  • FREE Gift: Set of 4 Tart & Tangy cards and Portfolio Holder Box Project Pack
  • FREE Template for Everyone: Template for Portfolio Holder Box (see below)

ENTER TO WIN BY LEAVING A COMMENT ON THIS POST (see comment link at the bottom of this post or learn how to leave a comment)

Tart&TangyStamp

Today's project comes under the category of Clean & Simple.  Lately, I've been drawn to this style of stamping.  The cards below were inspired by a swap I received at Founders Circle from my friend Penny.  Here's a card I made last fall with the same layout. 

I had planned to add a greeting using Stampin' Up!'s Chat Room Rub-Ons from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  But can I find them!  Nope, not anywhere.  Does anyone else suffer from the "I can't find it" disease?

CardGroupingB

I paired each of these cards with Stampin' Up!'s 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.  The circles are punched with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch (Orange & Lime circles use a 1" circle  punch).  The next Whisper White Layer measures 1-3/4" x 1-3/4".  The mats of coordinating color measure 2" x 2" (Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Olive Olive & Chocolate Chip).   

Now, I need something to put them in.  I started wracking my brain for just the right container and then remembered a stationary portfolio I made several years ago.  I thought I could adapt it for this project.

A couple of things I like about this Portfolio Holder Box:

1.  No adhesive - love it!
2.  Quick & Easy
3.  It can accommodate cards with bulky ribbon
4.  Did I say, Quick & Easy?

So, which card do you like?  Orange, Strawberry, Apple or Cherries?  I'm leaning toward the cherries card myself.  I really like the way the black sets off the cherries image.  Let me know your favorite when you leave your comment today (which enters you in the drawing* for the Tart & Tangy stamp set and Portfolio Holder Box w/cards project pack)!

First off - I love it because it is free right now.  That's right, it's another Sale-A-Bration optional stamp set.  Free with a $50 or more order!

However...What I like the best about it is, this is one of those stamp sets that you can design a card layout and use it for all four of the images!  All four of today's handmade cards have the same layout - just change the color and embellishments, and Voila!

DOcelebration Event Day #1: Free Stamps and More!

I'm so excited to kick-off my 5-Day DOcelebration Event!  Each day I'll feature a fun project and FREE give-a-ways (FREE STAMPS, FREE PROJECTS & MORE)!

Let's get the celebrating started with Stampin' Up!'s Things I Love Stamp Set.  Not only is this a fun stamp set, but it is FREE during Sale-A-Bration (w/$50 Stampin' Up! order)!

115229-Things-I-Love

Today (for one lucky winner), it's yours for only a comment on this post.  Woohoo!
 
But wait...there's more. Keep reading!
  (wink, wink...everyone's a winner today!)

The first thing I thought of when I first saw this set was scrapbooking.  Specifically, a Mini Album for my Hedgehog Scrapbook Clubs.  As cute as the chocolate and shoes are, my favorite image is the words...Things I Love!  It can be used in so many ways

  • Things I love...about You!
  • 10 Things I Love
  • Things I Love..To Do
  • My Favorite Things I love
  • Things I Love...about Our Family!
  • and more! (remove THINGS and you've got "I Love...")

So...I created this darling 4x4 "Things I Love Mini Accordion Scrapbook Album" 

Album

Wanna see the inside?  Silly question... of course you do!  See below for a quick slideshow.

Kit 

Hold on for one more thing!
