Bags and Boxes using the same Measurements!

Hello Everyone!

Do you have designer series paper to use up? For today’s project I’m sharing these bags and boxes made from 6×6 paper.

I’m working with the 2024 In Colour DSP pack.

Start by scoring at 1 and 5 inches

Rotate 90 degrees

Score at 1, 2½, 3½ and 5 inches.

How the tabs are cut, will determine whether the final project becomes a bag or a box.

You can see how to complete each version in my video tutorial….

Each project was finished with coordinating Bordered Ribbon. The tags were created by layering a Modern Oval or a Circle punch on top of a Country Corner die cut.

Use Up Those Cardstock Scraps!

Hello Everyone!

If you are anything like me, you probably have a collection of scraps that you just can’t throw away, so today I’m sharing a scrap buster idea.

For my card, I have used ¼ inch strips of In Colour cardstock all cut from pieces from my scrap bin.

The “floating” element also uses acetate that comes with the photopolymer stamps which would normally be thrown away too.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Coordinating ink was used to stamp the wording. The block style lettering makes it easy to line up.

Here is the original version of this card using the retiring colours!

Super Easy Cards for Any Occasion!

Hello Everyone!

I’m looking beyond Christmas with a simple card for any occasion.

I am working with the Labelled with Love stamp set and some of the 2024 In Colours.

I’ve used the Of Art and Texture stamp set… I love this! So easy to adapt to any occasion and use colours to suit the recipient.
