Snippets Playground Challenge #504 What you can't see is my image panel is a snippet, and die cutting it left a chunk of the upper right with no nice cut! Therefore, flowers!

Years ago I made an open stand up box to hold cards. Couldn't find my recipe so made my own. It holds 12 cards.

Cut a piece of card stock 10.5" X 7.5"

Score on the long sides at 1.5"

Score long way at 4" and 5.5"

Glue sides together.  Clip the top corners. Done! 

*Edit: This will hold cards that are 4.25" X 5.5"

 

 

Sorry, the lighting is crap. It's dark and I'm at my desk!

Hello!

Hope you are well!

I wanted to play over at the Jingle Belles!

When we moved my mom to a seniors apartment last fall, I got back a lot of the cards I had made her. They have been given new life, and a lot have been getting refurbished and passed on.

This is one I just did.

 Originally posted January 2011

They were originally made on white or cream. I put this card front on gold.

If It's not the kind of recycling needed for the challenge, ignore it!

Allsorts Week 821 Stencils/ Masks or Anything Goes

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

Val is hosting over at Allsorts this fortnight, and she would like to see Stencils and/ or Masks! There is the anything goes option too!

 I have used the stamps, stencils and dies from Enduring Beauty. It's an SU set. The sentiment is from the set too. EF is Swiss Dots from SU. Think I cut the sentiment out with a Stampendous die! Added a few sequins, and stickles for flower centers for a bit of sparkle!

While I had the set out I did a variety of colors.

 I even stamped out some sentiments to be added as needed!

 A super prize from from Lisa Horton Crafts, Pansy Corner layering stencils with coordinating die and embossing folder. Plus an extra prize of two stencils!

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #490 Diecuts and/or Stencils I have used both!

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

 

This is a wood block stamp from 2007 called Singing in the Rain!

The image is colored with Ohuhu markers. Stickles on the raindrops. EF is SU. Spellbinders dies. Some DP, twine and charm to finish. The charm and twine are also to hide the black smudge that must have been on my die.
