Father's Day Class Cards

I always enjoy creating when I get to use my style in the project and Father's Day works great for it.

I created these three cards for a class.

I used a peek a boo technique for each card.

This card used Stampin Up's ever popular Top Note die for the card mat. I used a Tim Holtz Mover & Shapers circle to cut out the hole.

Behind the hole I added several gears, also Tim Holtz, to create a peek into effect. I created the pocket watch using another Tim's die and a circle punch and then a stamped clock face punched out with another circle punch slightly smaller then the one for the mat.

I added a fishtail sentiment and for a final touch adhered a metal gear to the top.

I like to call this one the leather card, because the glassine paper used gives the look of leather. Again cut the mat from Stampin Up's top note die. Then used Two different My Favorite Things alphabet set dies to create the Dad cutout. I adhered a second layer of the Top note die cut behind the first. The added some vintage finding die cuts as final touches with brads added to the holes.

The last card was a center fold out card.

I used a Baroque die from Tim Holtz for the front mat and for the inside sentiment mat as well.

I adhered the front mat to the left side of the front opening. I then cut a MY Favorite Things Viewmaster wheel and cut 6 of the matching pieces to cover the openings. I stamped them with a small font to spell out THANKS and then adhered to the back of the wheel. I finished the wheel with a game spinner and brad in the center. I then adhered to the top and slightly to the right on the mat.

I added a die cut alarm clock by Tim Holtz. This card was not keen on staying closed so as it's final touch I added the photo turn closure in the lower right corner.

SEW Lovely Mini Album

I am sew excited to share this lovely mini album with you.
It has been created for an upcoming class at a local crop.
The die shape is from Accucut craft - Sewing Machine and is so fun to work with.

There are five pages with a flip up on the cover.

I hope you enjoy this project as uch as I enjoyed making it.

When I saw the Sew Lovely paper from Carte Bella, I just kne wit was perfect for this album.

I made the cover have this flip up because it just seemed to work with the layout. Reminds me too how you have to open parts on your machine to oil or thread.

The remaining pages are filled with pockets and tags and fun embellishments.

I was also able to use another Accucut die-Sew Cute

I haven't posted all the pages but you can check out the video to see the whole album below.


Thanks for checking it out.

This is so adorable, it fits in the palm of your hand. There is just something so fun about mini mini albums.

The tiny suitcase opens up to reveal a tiny mini. I also love mini albums that are relatively quick to make.

Rustic Star Class

I am finally getting around to having a class. This is a repeat class. My daughter created this project several years ago and the tutorial has been very popular. I recently created a custom die for this as it takes a very long time to hand cut all the pieces for one set, let alone for a whole class.

So as requested this class will take place February 29th, in my scraproom. The details are on my website here.

If you do not live in my local area, you can buy the tutorial, which inlcudes the template for all three sizes, also from the above link.

Santa'sStocking Mini

Here I have made a mini using Stampin Up's new Holiday Stocking die and new Peekaboo Frames die. I used Letters to Santa designer paper also from Stampin Up.

I used the peekaboo frames to create embellishments for the pages and adhered them so that they also act as pockets to be able to tuck photos in behind.

I used flowers fro Prima and I Am Roses to embellish as well. The ribbons are from Stampin Up.

This is my next class. Hope you enjoyed seeing the peek at this project.

Paisley Petals Policy Envie Mini- Class Version

Here is the class version of the long policy envelope mini. This class will be held in September.

The layout is almost exactly the same as the previous mini, but I used Stampin Up's Paisley Petals Designer paper.

I love this paper, bright, bold designs in Paisley prints.

This is one of my favorite pages. Hope to see you in class in the fall!

Thanks,

Vicki's Class Mini

Hi Ladies,
Here are pics of the beautiful mini class I took hosted by Vicki. It has a canvas cover and chipboard pages.
There are lots of die cuts and hidden pockets.

This is the first page. I adhered all the matt die cuts so a tag can be inserted behind each to add a jounal spot.

I love her paper choice. It is called Cottage Wall. It is no longer available, but I think I still have a couple of packs that I stocked up on of this paper.

I just love the layouts on each page. Simple yet lightly embellished. Sometimes I go overboard, which is easy to do with so many options for embellishments.

This next set of pages has a fun pull out photo matt/ journal spot.

This opens up to reveal more space to add photos.

I am a huge locket and key fan, so this is probably my favorite page in the mini.

The last double page layout. I love the small banner she has used in the mini. I thought it was a nestie, but after searching, I am not so sure. I will have to ask her.

and the last page. I love the mini birdcage and bird accent. I have this die but have not used it yet.

You can see the video for this mini below.

Thanks,

GRAD mini Class

This mini is designed to look like a grad hat. The center of the cover has a tassel as it very simple and only embellishment.

Here is one of the pages inside the book, here there is a circle photo/journal spot that is removable. It simply tucks in behind the pocket, which contains a mini file folder more more photo/journal opportunities.

This page has some flowers and gem flourishes to accent a photo matt.

This page uses the TopNote shape for a photo matt and has a punched accent and stamping to embellish the page.

This mini has a different binding, you will need to see it in person to fully appreciate it as I was unable to get a good photo of it. There are more pages which you will get tos ee when I get around to doing a video for this mini.

Thanks,

Mini Milk Carrier

This adorable mini milk carrier was a free class I offered to the Sister at my church. You can put little treats inside the boxes, and they open just like a milk carton. My friend, discovered that if you can get three of these die cut shapes from one piece of cardstock if you cut it just right. Cut one 4 1/4" piece on the the 8 1/2" side, then cut the remaining piece in two at the 4 1/4" mark. This makes the bottom flaps shorter, but they will still close and completely cover the bottom opening. If these instructions aren't clear enough let me know. Thanks Irene for figuring that out!

The milk cartons are made using die cuts from a Sizzix die available from SU. The carrier I created myself based on the size of the milk carton.

I trimmed the carrier with the bird and branch punch pieces, also available from SU. I know dies are great but I love my punches too. This punch is so easy to use and it is sooo adorable. Love It!

Thanks,
