It's Your Day!! - Beautiful Butterfly Gala DSP

 Hey Crafty Friends!!  I am at the Texas Basket Weaving Convention today weaving away. Before I get my day started weaving I want to share this little gem with you.  I made it using Kylie Bertucci's love it chop method.  Her philosophy is if you love chop it up, make a card and share it.  How many of us have like a DSP so much that we are reluctant to cut it up and then we end up with a collection of retired paper.  


  Measurements:
Lemon Lime Twist base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 
Basic Black 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 DSP 
Botanical Butterfly DSP 3 x 4
Whisper White liner 5 1/2 x 4 
Ink:
Momento Black

TIP:  Cut a 12 x 12 sheet of DSP into 3 x 4 pieces, this gives you 12 card fronts.  That is 12 cards!!! Love it and chop it up, don't be a paper hoarder like me.

Valentine Blog Hop!! - Meant to Be Bundle

Welcome Crafty Friends!! Today's I am participating in a blog hop with my fellow DO Stamper STARs demonstrators to share some candy packaging ideas.  I used the Meant To Be Cling Bundle and the all My Love DSP for my sweet treat box.   I am loving the Be Mine Stitched Framelits in the bundle.  I bet you are going to love it as well. 




Boxes are so easy and quick to put together for a treat.  The hardest part is deciding what candy you want to put inside.  I kept mine simple and used four Hershey's Minatures wrapped in All My Love DSP.  If you love Valentines this is a must have DSP, it will also work great for birthdays.


Tips for making treat boxes:

  • Full disclosure this is general guidance for box making and the method that I use.  There are plenty of videos you can watch for more detailed guidance.  If you like to "wing it' like me, then the steps below should help you get it done. 
  • Decide on number of treats 
  • Layout treats on grid paper to estimate size of box bottom 
    • Mine box bottom measured 1 7/8 x 2 1/16
  • Measure side of treat to get box side measurement 
    • Add 3/4 inch all around for sides
    • Paper measured 3 3/8 x 3 9/16 scored at 3/4 all around
  • Cut, score and glue 
  • Do the same for the top, be sure to add at least 1/32 more to overall top and take away a bit from side measurement if you like a shorter side on your box.

Blue Rooster - Swap Card

Welcome Crafty Friends!!   Today's project features Sale-A-Bration favorite, Home to Roost.  This stamps set has been very popular and this Rooster is popping up all over Facebook and Pinterest.  Again, I made a blue bird, because I love blue and I adore this chicken.  I promise there will be a colored version soon.  The Home to Roost stamp set is FREE with a qualifying $50 purchase.  Hmmm...



  Measurements:
Night of Navy base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 
Wood Textures DSP 
Gingham Gala DSP
Whisper White liner 5 1/2 x 4 
Ink:
Blueberry Bushel 

Tip: I made this card following an old sketch from Freshly Made Sketches Pinterest page.  When I am having trouble with a layout or just in a design "funk"  looking at sketches for an idea are a great way to get my creative ideas going.  So many wonderful sketch resources on Pinterest, just search "card sketches".
