Stamper's Dozen Home Decor Blog Hop

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's time for another blog hop with the Stamper's Dozen group. This month the theme is home decor. You will sure be delighted with all the gift-giving possibilities  you will find as you hop along.

For my decor piece I selected to share this fun flip out memory book with you. The finished size is 6"x6". By using one of the memory and more card packs along with the coordinating designer series paper, this book will come together so quickly. It is so much fun to make as well. 

Making these as gifts would be perfect. Imagine the recipients surprise when they open their gift and see that you filled it with precious memories of times you had together.

These next few pictures are of the inside as you flip it open. There's a surprise around every turn.

The self-adhesive die cuts in the memories and more pack make the perfect embellishments.

Look it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And every level is different.

Isn't this fun?

The green flaps in the picture above flip open to reveal even more space to capture your memories (picture below). 

 And the final picture is deep inside the book. The lighthouse element is only attached to one side so it opens to reveal a few more spots to capture your story.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to keep hopping through for more great home decor ideas. If you would like the tutorial for this project all you need to do is place an order through me (www.rachelyurkanin.stampinup.net) and I will send it to you.

Cappuccino Inspired Card

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Can you believe we had snow up here on the mountain already? Only about a quarter of an inch, but still, I'm NOT ready for it. Plus this weekend is the coldest one since March. I'm not ready for that either, but I guess ready or not, it's here and I need to quietly adjust. LOL

This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing with you projects made with a cappuccino theme. I decided to go with the colors of a cappuccino instead of the coffee/beverage aspect of it.

We can always use more masculine cards and this card can definitely fit the bill. This would make a great card for someone graduating or moving away, don't you think? I used several things from the Come Sail Away suite for this card including a card from the Memories and more pack. I love those pack and how easy they make creating great looking projects. Can you guess which piece is from the pack?

This is a z-fold card. I cut my cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and folded it in half and then folded the front flap back to the edge (so in essence, folded that in half as well). These are such fun cards to make and changes up the typical card so easily.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more ideas with a cappuccino theme. Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Trick or Treat?

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Another week has passed us by. I hope you have had a fantastic week and even squeezed in a little crafting. This month is flying by, Halloween is less than a week away and that means the month is over.  Don't blink because it will be gone.

This week for Fabulous Friday with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing some Halloween treats with you. Be sure to head over to the blog to see what the others created. There are some cute projects.

Here is my sweet project. I don't particularly care for scary Halloween themes so I decided to go with a sweet little jack-o-lantern that anyone would be sure to love.  What did I make? I made a bag-o-lope. Say what? Yep, it's a bag made from an envelope. We all have plenty of envelopes around so there's no excuse not to try it. 

First, you want to stamp your envelope. Way easier while it's flat, trust me. 😉 For my envelope I stamped it and then took the black stampin' write marker to make additional plaid on the buffalo check. Once you have it stamped to your liking, you will score it evenly on three of the four sides. For this particular bag, I scored it at 1/2" on the three sides. I cut the envelope down to 4 1/2" and sealed the flap before trying to "open" the bag." 

I fold the scored edges back and forth a few times to make it easier to shape the bag. Then you will pop the sides and the bottom in. You will need a little adhesive on the triangle pieces that are extra from the sides to attach to the bottom of the bag.

Then just make a cute little tag and attach it to the bag with a dimensional. Oh, yeah, you need to fill it with some spooky crinkle paper and treats before you give it to anyone. An empty Halloween treat would be a not so nice trick to play.

This is the back of the bag. It's difficult to see in the picture where the flap of the envelope is but it's really there. It's between the third and fourth vertical black lines. I just wanted you to see that it totally doesn't look like an envelope any more.  Pretty neat, right? This is certainly an oldie but goodie. I made these almost 19 years ago when I first started with Stampin' Up!

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping for more Halloween treat ideas. You still have time to make a few treats for your little Trick or Treaters.
