Cupcakes & Sequins

Couldn't resist another entry in the Avery Elle challenge. . . I do love cupcakes (as mentioned a few times in previous posts) and I do love sequins. . .they are so sparkly.

Here's a shaker card created using Avery Elle Cupcake stamps:

The Theme is Window

Here's a card I made for club.  The theme was to have a window or "porthole" cut out of the front of the card and the image on the inside.

Now, it's no secret that I love cupcakes . . . not necessarily to eat (although I do enjoy one every now and again) . . .but when it comes to stamps . . . if it's a cupcake stamp, I simply must have it.

This particular stamp is by Impression Obsession and is so fun to color with Copics . . .I liked this stamp so much that I have the wood mounted version (which is larger) AND the clear set (which is what I used for this card). . . just can't have enough cupcakes . . .

What about you?  Do you have a favorite image that you can't resist?

It's a File Folder

Here's another project using that fabulous Envelope Punch Board . . . a little file folder.  It was one of the projects I did during my demo, too.

People really seemed to like it. . . so, here's a tutorial on how to do it.

Supplies Needed:

·         Envelope Punch Board

·         8 ½” x 5 ½” piece of cardstock

·         Scissors or Paper Trimmer

Step 1:
Start with 8½” by 5½” card base, folded in half

Step 2:

With the 5 ½” side of the cardstock at the top of the board, line up the left edge with the left side of the opening in the punch part of the board and punch.

Step 3:
Slide the cardstock over to 3” mark on the left guide ruler and punch again.


Step 4:

Trim ½” off the opposite side and the repeat Step 2 and Step 3

Step 5:
Line up the dip from the punch with the groove of the paper trimmer and cut off the rest of the top and bottom edges so that just the tab is left.  (Or just use scissors.)

Step 6:
Using the Reverse Punch, round the corners of the file folder and embellish as desired.

Viola!  You have a file folder!
