Cocoa & Crafts Irresistible Blooms 4

 

Hello there! We're on our last project for this month's Cocoa & Crafts class. I hope you've enjoyed all of the projects. I really, REALLY like this stamp set and paper! We're going to finish off with a super simple treat bag using one of the 6 x 6 sheets of the paper. 

Measurements:

• 6 x 6 
• score across bottom at 1 3/8
• cut up to score line at 1 3/8, 2 3/4, 4 1/8, 5 1/2

Not a lot of supplies for this one. So, which sheet did you choose to use for your treat bag?

Cocoa & Crafts Irresistible Blooms 3

Hello there! I won't be posting much the next couple of weeks as I will be on a couple of trips to celebrate graduations. I hope to be back to a regular schedule in June though. Today's card is a super simple card that could really be used for any occasion simply by switching out the sentiment. I love that we are able to use the half-flowers from the edges of the Designer Series Paper for this one. Don't want to waste any of that pretty paper!

• Card base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Front frame - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 with a 4 x 2 5/8 rectangle cut from the middle

• Front panel - 4 x 5 1/4
• Inside panel - 3 1//4 x 5 1/4

This card is actually pretty simple to do and folds up nicely to fit in a standard medium envelope.

Cocoa & Crafts Irresistible Blooms 1

Hello there! Whew! It's been a while, but we are back with another round of Cocoa & Crafts. First there was a supply issue, and then a shipping issue, so we had to postpone the April class until May, but it is such a pretty stamp set that it is worth the wait. 

Our first project this month is a pop up card that highlights the pretty Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. Super fun, but quick project today. 

The DSP is cut in such a way that you get two slightly different cards from one sheet of 6 x 6 paper with no scraps left over. 

Measurements for this card:

• Card base - 11 x 4 1/4 scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2
• Card front - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
• Designer Series Paper front panel - 6 x 3 (trimmed after adhering to front-see video)
• Designer Series Paper inside panel - 2 1/2 x 4
• Stopper piece - 1/2 x 4 1/4

3D Thursday - Adhesive Storage

Hello there! Today's 3D Thursday project is a storage box to organize all your adhesives. It consists of 5 little boxes that nestle into a matching tray. I have a couple of areas in my crafty space that I work and I needed something that was easy to move from one table to the next and not take up too much valuable real estate. This was the perfect project to use the new Crafting With You stamp set. 

I designed the boxes with a double layer of cardstock to give them a bit more stability. It makes it a little more difficult to fold up, but they will last longer that way. There are a lot of measurements for this project. Check out below the video for measurements and "maps" to help you see where to score and cut. 

Tray: 9 1/4 x 8 1/4

• scored on long side at 1, 2, 7 1/4, 8 1/4
• scored on short side at 1, 2, 6 1/4, 7 1/4

Stampin' Seal box: 10 x 6

• scored on long side at 2, 4 1/2, 6 1/2, 9
• scored on short side at 2, 4

Liquid Glue boxes (you will need 2 of these): 7 x 5 1/2

• scored on long side at 1 1/2, 3, 4 1/2, 6
• scored on short side at 2, 4

Glue Dots box: 8 1/2 x 4 (You will notice this one has a smaller tab than the others. That's to save on cardstock as you can cut straight across an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.)

• scored on long side at 1, 4, 5, 8
• scored on short side at 1 1/2, 3

Dimensionals/Tear-n-Tape box (you will two of these panels to make one box): 7 1/2 x 5 1/2

• scored on long side at 1 1/2, 6 1/2
• scored on short side at 2, 4

I hope you like this project. We have so many pretty colors to choose from, what color will you make your organizer? I hope this will help to keep your crafty space organized and easy to find what you need to create some amazing projects. 

It's a very short list of supplies for this project:

Technique Tuesday A is for Acetate

 

Hello there! I'm starting a new Technique Tuesday series. I am going to go through the alphabet coming up with techniques for each. Some letters might have more than one technique to showcase. We'll see how it goes. 

We'll start this series with A, of course, and A is for acetate. I actually use acetate or, Window Sheets as Stampin' Up! calls them, in three different ways for this card. 

So, which card do you like better? We could almost play a Spot The Difference game with these two cards. The backgrounds are different colors. When I did the first one, I didn't have the new In Color markers yet. The ships are different colors and the clouds are in a different configuration (I like the dark cloud in the back better). And, of course, the birds are flying in different directions. 

The measurements for this card:

• Card base - 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 
• scored at 1/2, 4 3/4, 5 1/4, & 5 3/4 on long side
• Water color panel - 4 x 5 1/4
• Window Sheet - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
• Sentiment strip - 1/2 x 4 cut down to fit
