Hippo Punch

 

Hippo  Hi,  My video today demonstrates how to make this Hippo. 

After making the animals for the boxes I decided that they would also make darling bookmarks for kids. Can’t you see making one for every animal?

Here’s a list of the punches for the Hippo.

Word Window

Large & Small Oval

1 3/8, 1/4 & 1/8 Circle Punch

Or use Double Circle for the 1/8

Matchbox-animals

The box is made with the Big Shot Die Cut Machine and I used the Matchbox Die.  I used the Textures Plate #4 to emboss each box.

Cardstock used:  Basic Gray, Whisper White and Basic Black

Here’s the video …

Good evening!

I’m very happy….I was super productive today and got all the videos filmed that was on my calendar for last week.  If all goes well, the first one will be the Post it Notes  I shared with you a week or so ago. 

I’ll show you three pictures….the first one is the same style Post it Notes decorated a little differently. I used was the Urban Oasis Designer Paper and the Baja Breeze Striped Ribbon.

Thinking of you post it note holder 

  Hi, today I’m sharing with you the same Post it Note Holder I shared with you two days ago.

 I’m ready to have some fun & I hope you are too!  Each week I’m going to put a message in the middle of my video and you’ll need to watch it to see what I have in store for you.  They’ll be different each week and instead of posting a comment my blog…I ask that you send me an email (if you post it on my blog, the cat is out of the bag and everyone will see it :))  

Thanks for joining me!

Tea Party Post it Notes

Post it notes tea party  Hi, thanks for joining me!

Today’s project is a post it note holder.  It’s one that I’ve made for years and it 
was one of the first items I sold on my Chic n Scratch Shack a few years ago (that was way back when I was selling my hand made items).

 I was going through my left over designer paper and saw that I had some paper that I had not used.  So, that got me to thinking……..I’ve been trying to make sure I show you all how to get the most out of what you buy and the Tea Party Designer Paper is the perfect example.  I’ve shown you the Top Note Bag, two cards in my May Card Class/Kit and now the Post it Note Holder.  I hope that helps you when you’re deciding what paper to purchase 🙂  
See ya tomorrow!

p.s.  Here’s the one I carry in my purse…I must say it doesn’t look quite this good any longer…but I do love pulling it out when I’m out and about!  (Click on the picture to view it larger.)

p.s.s. Demo friends….if you were at Sherrie’s shoebox swap at Leadership in Orlando…let me know which one you’re signing up for (this time I’ll remember my adhesive but who knows what I’ll forget).

Recipe Book – Password Book

Cora's recipe book Good morning,

My project started out as a Password Book but then….it changed to a Recipe Book.  My niece Cora will be 10 years old & I was on the phone with my sister and she was telling me how Cora has been watching her cook and writing down her recipes…so I stopped in my tracks and switched gears.

 

 

This Recipe Book has lots of details…I’ll try to explain them quickly.  The cover and backside is made with the Medium Weight Rectangle Coasters & I covered them with the Delicate Dots Designer Paper.  Cora’s name was a Light Weight Coaster that I cut into 4 pieces and then punched out with my Big Shot & an alphabet die (I popped them up with Dimensionals). 

 Do you recognized the alphabet?  Oh my gosh….I’ve had it forever…it’s the Fun Serif Alphabet and I remember when they came out (many years ago) every week I drove as fast as I could to use my one coupon so I could get a new letter that week.  It took me a while but I managed to get 3 whole alphabets.  If you have those dies….hang onto them…they work great in the Big Shot.  I was able to run all four letters through at one time…..quick & easy …I love it!!

Did you know I’m the person that came up with using the  Rectangle Coasters? (I placed that first custom order and took a chance hoping they would sell).  The main reason I ordered them was to make Password Books…but then after getting them I had other ideas….and I forgot to revisit my original idea.  Some days I scare myself….a year later I’m just now getting around to it 🙂

I’ll film a video in the next few days.  If you’re wanting to know which coasters to order. I used the Medium Weight Rectangle and the 4″ Light WeightClick here to visit my Chic’ n Scratch Shack where I have the coasters available.

Have a great day!! 

p.s Don’t forget to check out the Easter stamp sets that are available starting today…I’ll post more details on this as soon as they’re available to me.  (Four new sets, in the new Mini Catalog, available starting today….the rest of the catalog starts April 1st.)

p.s.s. Double posting today….I’ll post the winner for the February Free stamp set and post the picture of the March free stamp set.
