Surprise Card Box

I love this new found project! I first saw this when I swapped with my Northern Idaho friends; Julie made one and I immediately fell in love with the idea. Then I got busy and forgot about it until I came across THIS video before Christmas.

Isn't that cool!...I know I'm the last person on the planet to make one, I know...

Soft Suede Birthday Bag

I have a couple of birthday gifts to give this week, so what better gift wrapping than a purse! This one is made with Soft Suede cardstock and Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The gift card size purse pattern can be found in the 12 Days of Christmas 2011 tutorial on the right hand sidebar or the tutorials page.

I made the flower with muslin and burlap fabrics and a Vintage Brad. I used the Scallops #2 die-cut. Cut 5 scallops. Four of them were folded in quarters and hot glued onto the remaining scallop. The center is the smallest circle from Circles #2 die cut.

Do you want to see something cute?

Isn't this just so bright and fun!! My friend and downline Penny has written her very first tutorial! I got to see these in person last week (while enjoying a Salted Caramel Mocha - thank you Penny!) and they are darling!! You can check them out a little closer on her blog, Stamps 'n' Smiles.

This cracked me up when it came in the mail this week. I couldn't imagine why it was so heavy! Leah just couldn't take the two pieces of cardstock as a gift...she had to pay for them! Pretty clever, huh!

How-to on Yesterdays Projects

Pocket Fold

Cut Designer Series Paper to 6" x6". Fold in half and place fold against the top of the Simply Scored. Score at 2-3/4" and 5-5/8".

Rotate paper so the fold line is against the left side of the Simply Scored and score at 1/2".

Fold on all score lines.

Fold both sides in.

Then fold straight up and crease with bone folder.

Now fold each piece back.

You should have 2 pockets. *Ü*

This one holds the flower from the Fun flowers die-cut.

Candy Box
Cut cardstock to 6" x 6".
Score all for sides at 2".
Score each corner at a diagonal as shown in the photo above.

Use the Scallop Border Punch on all 4 sides.
Fold on all score lines.

Punch a 1/8" hole in each corner, trim corners of any straggling edges.

Fold corners in towards the middle of the box.

Thread the ribbon though from corner to corner on the diagonal, then loop each end back to come though the outside of the other 2 holes and up through the middle. Clear as mud?
