Momenta and Scor-Pal Blog Hop!

Today it is my turn to share my project that was featured on the Scor-pal blog as part of this week's Scor-pal and Momenta blog week. Of course, if you missed this project or any of the other great projects from the Scor-pal team you'll want to hop on over there and see what's been going on this week. Be sure to leave comments on each post from this week for a chance to win some great prizes. Entry deadline in 8am Monday, July 2, so there's still time.

First off I have a lovely treat basket.  I have used the Cuddle and Coo collection from Momenta.

Start with a 12x12 piece of cardstock and score at 4” and 8”, turn the paper 90 degrees and score again at 4” and 8”.  Fold all scored lines.  Score and fold each corner diagonally and bring them up to the middle.  Decorate each square with 3 ¾” squares and attach a ribbon (or as I did, beads) to the middle and presto!  A cute treat basket!  I made the flowers with a Stampin Up! punch,  I layered several layers and attached them together with a brad.

Next is my Trinket Chest.  I used Magnolia Stamps, colored with Distress Inks  to decorate the top.  Here are the instructions:

The drawer are 3”x3”.  Start with a piece of paper 6”x6” and score each side at 1 ½”.  Attach a drawer liner, 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”  in the middle.

.

To create the drawer pulls, I start with a brad, eyelet and flower decoration.  Attached flower to brad with hot glue, then thread the eyelet through the post of the brad, as shown.  Punch a hole through the drawer front and attach brad, the eyelet will provide just enough space to lift it off of the paper. 

Repeat to create 8 drawers.

Next wrap a 3” x 10” piece of cardstock around the drawer, there will be overlap, this is where you will attach the slip cover together with Scor-Tape.

Cut a 3” x 3” of chipboard and attach to the top of one of the drawers, this will stabilize everything really good.  Stack another drawer on top. 

Adhere all of the drawer sets together to create your chest.  Attach covered 3”x 3”, chipboard to the sides.  The top and bottom are covered 7”x7” pieces of chipboard.

The Gift of Coffee

Hi everyone!  I am here today with a great gift idea.  I made a cute little holder for Kuerig coffee K-cups.

I used Graphic 45 designer paper and black cardstock.  The sentiment is from Lily of the Valley.

I made this project while on a scrapbook weekend with my bff.  I can't remember the dimensions, so I will have to get back with you on those!

The gorgeous flower in the middle is from Micheals and the rest is from Wild Orchid.

Thanks for stopping by!  I will have another K-cup holder tomorrow!

Blowing Bubbles

Hi everyone!  I'm back with another card.  Still trying to get my groove.  I just love soft greens and blues together, they make such a soft and serene card.

I used Tilda Blowing Bubbles and Small Snail in my card today.  I layered the same Memory Box Die in two different colors for the grounding of my card.  The die was used for my image is from Spellbinders.  I used some seam binding from Stampin Up! to accent the blue in her wings.  I really like this stamp, it is one of my favorites.  I colored Tilda with Distress Inks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Flowers

Hi everyone!  I has been FOREVER since I posted anything!  I am trying to get back on the saddle after my basement flooded.  My craft room was totally under water and I lost a lot of stuff but I am slowly getting back into action!  I moved my craft room to other side of the basement and I really like it a lot better where it is.  Once I have the finishing touches done I will post some pictures.

Now, onto my card.  I am posting this card "just because" no challenges or contest.  I just love this Magnolia stamp, I love the way that the flowers seem to overtake Tilda.  I painted her with Distress Inks.  The designer paper is oh so gorgeous, it is from My Minds Eye. I added little touches of lace and flowers to complete the look.

I hope you enjoyed today's post.  I was great seeing you again!

This time I decided to make a gift set for my BFF.  I am calling it "Tea & Jam".  I have a lot of things going on this time so please bare with me, this is a long post!  All the designer paper used is from American Crafts, Freshly Squeezed collection.

My first project is a 3x3 Notecard Holder and Cards.  The tutorial for it is HERE.  I changed the dimensions a little.  The size of my card stock is 10 1/2 x 5 1/2.  Score as directed but also score at 4" and 3" making sure the paper is aligned on the top and right fence.  The score lines that I added are for the flap of the lid.

The cards are 3" x 3" and decorated simply.

Here is the "Jam" part of my project.  I made some yummy cherry jam. The recipe is very simple, just boil 3 cups of pitted cherries with 4 cups of sugar until the consistency you like for jam!  Boil your canning jars according to manufacturers directions and add hot jam.  To decorate my jar, I added a circle of cherry paper from American Crafts (Freshly Squeezed) to the top of the jar and created a rosette and belly band around the jar, then added a pretty bow! 

Next was the "Tea" Box.  The tutorial for the Secret Box can be found HERE.

Lastly, every gift needs a pretty card so that is my final project.

Scor-Pal & Skipping Stones Hop

Welcome everyone!  I'm so glad you hopped by!  As you may have already guessed Scor-Pal is hopping along with Skipping Stones Designs and we have some fabulous projects to share with you today!  If you came here from the wonderfully talented Anji Barrs then you are on the right track, if not you start from the beginning so you won't miss out on anything at  Scor-Pal's blog, be sure to stop by there for prize information, you don't want to miss out on that!  Also, drop by Scor-Pal's Facebook Page for a chance to win some more prizes!

On to my project!  I used the beautiful stamp set called Always Here.  I really like these butterflies, I embossed them with gold embossing powder to give them a little extra pizzazz!  I created a 4-Corner Fold Up Card, it was inspired by one that I saw on the internet HERE.  I have modified the directions slightly below.  The little gift box was a tutorial that I found on Splitcoast Stamps for an orgami gift box.

The dimensions of my card is 5x5, cut two pieces of cardstock 5 x 10, line each piece up along the top fence and score at 2 1/2 and 7 1/2.  Take one piece and cut 1/8" off of a long side (this piece with be the inside piece of the card.)  Adhere your pieces together and layer and decorate as you wish.  Fold card together, kind of like you are folding closed a cardboard box.
