Card & Stamped Gift All-In-One

Wanted to revisit the Cookmarks/Bookmarks. Remember I said one of my favorite swap ideas ever received was a bookmark on a card? Well here is my version...

Bookmark off the card...

Here is my post about making these and where I was reminded of the idea...Bookmark Gifts

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: you need to move the circle punched image to the end of the book mark that opens and has the magnets...if you want to fit this into an envelope...or have the element in your card design.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL day. Scrap Club is today...can't wait! Thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow!!!! NEW Catalog GOODIES!!! Finally! Diana.

Eastern Blooms Bling Purse

What girly-girl doesn't love a pink-flowery-glittery purse? I just love this simple layout for a card purse. This card fits in a standard envelope but is no standard card. You may have seen this card before...I had sent it in to the Display Boards for Convention 2008. This was one of the stamp sets we received from Stampin' Up! at Convention and is now part of the standard Starter Kit when you join...I really love using this stamp set.

It's so simple to make really...cut your card stock as for a standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card. Trim off the top and bottom at an angle. (just use the first cut as a guide for the second, use your cutter or long scissors.) Cut out an oval with your Big Shot or Colozzle (that will be your flap) and embellish. Use Velcro for the closure. I took a trip to the Hardware Store and also added pull-chain to add to the "purse" effect with a little tag for the sentiment, "A Fabulous Gift for You". I also used my crafter tool kit and created "faux" stitching with holes and my white jel pen along the edges.

Open...

Close up...I used Shimmer White Paper Embossed with Chocolate Chip Craft Ink and Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, plus Beads and Crystal Effects and more Glitter on top....Bada-Bling! LOL. What do you think?

Have a WONDERFUL day. Happy Stamping...only FOUR days till the NEW Catalog!!!

Office Exit Soon...

This fun little mimi-album is a mashing of three ideas I saw. It could be a special card too, it will fit in an envelope. It is a Three-Panel Album, Matchbook Album and simple Eyelet Album all in one Mini Album. This one is all about my some of my Stampin’ Up! training events. Its really easy to make. I will post directions in a later post or maybe I will just show you in a video…yes I have that coming soon. Stay tuned. Since this fun and useful set is retiring soon I wanted to be sure to remind you of how wonderful it is. If you don’t have it…get it fast.

Have a great day. Go scrapbook some fun event from your life…

More Retiring Paper...

Again with InColor Papers that will retire soon…This card is inspired by a project we made at Stampin’ Up’s Leadership Training Event. What a WONDERFUL trip. Palm Springs in January! Anyway, this card is actually made from a circle of designer paper, folded or wrapped around the pull-out card. I traced a pot lid (yes from the kitchen) to get my circle. At Leadership we used the left over background from the large circle in On Board Ginormous Pieces. Have a GREAT Day! Go make something!
