Injoy Stampin Handmade Cards/Mini Albums

Webster’s Pages Mini Album

I have another mini album to share with you.  This is using all Webster’s Pages papers and I’ve custom cut the chipboard using my new Tim Holtz On-the-edge dies.  Lots of pictures below as well as a video showing you the mini album.

That’s two out of three that I had in the works, so I’m feeling pretty smug.  I truly don’t like unfinished projects and LOVE the feeling when they are checked off of my mental list of things to do.  Of course, they still need photos in them, but that’s the easy part lately.  I have hundreds of photos that I’ve taken just in the past couple of months alone!  I think the third one will have to wait at least a few weeks before it gets my attention though.  I have a new mini album to start!  This one is a BoBunny Word  Album from the August kit club.  I hear these kits are going fast already!  The August kit is bursting with  exclusive K&Co papers…50 12×12 papers in fact!  It’s also full of embellishments from Tim Holtz, Prima…to name a few.  Cathy has rightly named it a Stash Bumper kit!

Anyway, can you tell I’m excited?!?  Well, here’s the video of my Webster’s Pages 4″x6″ mini album with 16 pages (8 chipboard front and back).  I used medium weight chipboard and shaped it with the Tim Holtz On the Edge File Folder die.

And here are the “still” photos… (my lighting in the photos is kind of bad because our weather is quite dreary).

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate it!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Create something special for someone! xx

3-D tag…

I’ve created this 3-D tag using Prima papers from the Watercolor paper line as well as the Tim Holtz “Caged Bird” Sizzix die.  I used grunge paper so that I could made the bird cage dimensional.  More details below…

I haven’t posted a tag in a while (I don’t make that many really).  So, I thought this was a good week to share one with you.  I made it for my DT post.   This month’s kit was all about Prima and Tattered Angels!  Yummy!!   The tag is using the #8 (Tim Holtz fav. size) shipping tag; which I backed with chipboard to make it more durable.

First, I sprayed it with Pashmina, Pink Taffy, and Delphinium Glimmer Mist. Then I stamped and heat embossed a gold lace border using the Tattered Angels/Heidi Swapp Rockin’ Renaissance stamp set.  I also used a dictionary stamp from the same set  (behind the bird), and distressed the edges of my tag with my edging tool and randomly painted on Broken China Distress Crackle paint.  I added some gorgeous Prima papers from the kit across the center and top of the tag.  I die cut the birdcage using Grunge Board so I could make it 3-dimensional.  Can you see the cute  little bird?  He’s decked out in Prima paper and a matching feather with a gem for an eye.

I hope you like it and that it inspires you in your own crafting.  I know with summer here, it’s hard to stay inside!  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I am always grateful when you visit my little spot online. ♥

Have a weekend! xx

Craft Club Gals…

Lots of handmade card samples here of projects that I designed to display for the upcoming card class that I’m having with my local scrapbook store gals. We’ll be making Christmas cards. 

This post is a bit unusual to my regular posts, as I wanted to post some samples of the project choices for my new friends from the  craft club. I am looking forward to having you here on Tuesday. :o) Looking forward to meeting some of you for the first time as well.

I believe there will be 10 of us. We’ll have a good time stamping and chatting. Here are some photos of the projects that you can choose to create on Tuesday. We’ll all be making the Autumn card with the punch pumpkins, but you can also make about 4 Christmas cards and 3-D projects as time allows. I thought it might work best to show you the samples beforehand so that you can decide which ones you like best. I’ll have the samples when you are here as well, with basic directions.

What you should bring:

Paper trimmer
Scissors
Adhesive
Foam double-sided adhesive (Pop Dots, Dimensionals, Adhesive Foam Squares)
Cutting mat

I am looking forward to stamping with you. See you soon.

Paper Handbag…

These little handbags are SO adorable!  I created it using the pillow box Sizzix die as well as the top note Sizzix die.  Link to the instructions for how to create it are below.  They would make great party favors for birthdays, showers, etc.

I first saw this idea on Mary Fish‘s website, who in turn got the idea from Carolina Buchting.

Hope it inspires you, and that you are able to stamp something for yourself today. If you have any questions, as always please feel free to e-mail me.

Blessings,
Robyn

Gift Card Pouch

This is a custom gift-card pouch/pocket that was designed by me.  It has a pocket and inside of it, you can add a sentiment or greeting.  The reverse of the sentiment tag has a slot for attaching a standard gift card.  Below is a link for  a free tutorial.

This is a great project for any occasion.
I was creating in my craft room, and came up with this cute little pouch.  I will be making a You Tube tutorial on it in the next couple of days, as soon as I have time. As I often do, I came out to show my husband what I had created. Well, he said it was really nice, but thought it would make a great gift card holder. Isn’t he clever? I just LOVE it!

I went straight back into my stampin’ room and came out a few minutes later with this. When you flip over the tag greeting insert, you have a great place to put the gift card. For my sample, would you believe that I couldn’t find a gift card anywhere in my house, so I used our BA card instead. I was so happy that he thought to do that. I’ll show you how I did it this week. So stay tuned…

Injoy Stampin,

CD or DVD Gift Holder

This is a cd-holder that I’ve designed as a gift-giving tool to present someone with a cd or a dvd that you’ve made for them, or even for a store-purchased cd/dvd as an added special touch.  It has a belly band around the outside which is perfect for a custom tag to dangle from.

Is not the most adorable idea? The design did not originate with me, but I saw a quick picture of one with the same general idea from a Stampin’ Up! Convention e-mail that I received; which I instantly knew that I had to make. Not sure of the designer of the idea, or what their dimensions are. I created this one to allow you to make 2 folders/cards from a 12×12 piece of cardstock. I used Kraft cardstock, Old Olive Cardstock, Chocolate Chip Cardstock and Tall Tales Designer Series Paper. The ribbon is our new In Color Soft Suede Polka Dot ribbon. I used a window sheet to create the CD pocket. What do you think? Wouldn’t this make an great Christmas Photo CD for relatives who live afar to be able to keep up with the family, or you could even make a home video and put in on DVD. The possibilities for this one are endless! What grandparent wouldn’t LOVE to get a DVD of the grandkids?!!

The second one is using retired Specialty Designer Series Paper, but I wanted to show an alternate. I’ve made up a bunch of these, and they go together super fast.

Hope you are able to injoy some stampin’ today.

Blessings,
Robyn
