At
Thursday’s “Create With Kathe” craft class, we had a new crafter attend, the
lovely Bev.
It
was like meeting a kindred spirit, and Bev was such a lovely lady, it felt like I had
known her for ages!
We
made three projects, all featuring the {FREE with qualifying purchase} Sale-A-Bration
Designer Series Paper “Sweet Sorbet” …
First up was a decorated Mini Milk Bottle, with the “Spiral Flower Originals” Die and
Petite Petals Punch, then an Envelope Pocket Wallet, that had four mini envelope
pockets, to house such gorgeous things as gift vouchers, money, invitations,
r.s.v.p. cards etc, and a cute card, featuring the “Springtime Hello” stamp set.
Decorated Mini Milk Bottle
With the Mimi Milk Bottle {purchased at The Warehouse for $2 each}, we got into a bit of difficulty with the glue gun not working properly, luckily I had a second GG on hand!!!
We
cut 2 flowers from the ”Sweet Sorbet” DSP, using the “Spiral Flower Originals”
then rolled up together and secured with some hot glue. Added to the centre was
a cute little Petite Petals flower in contrasting cardstock and a Pearl to
finish it off.
Artichoke
Denim Jean Ribbon is tied in a bow around the bottle and secured with some hot
glue, below that is a strip of cardstock with the fancy edging, cut with the “Finishing
Touches Edgelits”.
The
Spiral flower is hot glued just above the bow, and 2 “Flower Trim” flowers are
hot clued in place on either side, and wah-lah, Mini milk Bottle is done!
Envelope Pocket Wallet {case'd via Sally Rice}
Cut
4 squares 6”x6” and make in to envelopes using the Stampin’ Envelope Punch
Board.
Cut
a strip 4 ¼’x 3.5” from the backing board that comes when you purchase Designer
Series Paper, as this packaging cardboard that come fee in the packs, and is
thicker and sturdier.
On
the 3 ½ “ side, score at every ½ “, then fold to make a concertina file.
Use
your Orange Sticky Tape, as this is very strong; to first adhere your outside envelope,
then the other other envelopes in the valleys of the concertina, but facing towards the
first envelope.
Tie
some ribbon around the outside to help keep the envelopes all closed.
This
is a really quick and easy project, and realistically can be made with just 1
sheet of DSP, as you get 4 squares/envelopes for each sheet of DSP.
“Springtime Hello” Card
Using
Natural White Cardstock, emboss 2/3 with the Sale-A-Bration “Decorative Dots”
embossing folder.
Make
a banner, with the Banner punch, and stamp on to two of the banners in “Sahara
Sand” with the Bee from the “Springtime Hello” stamp set.
Adhere
to the top left of card with Dimensionals, and add a knotted Linen Thread to
form the banner.
Stamped above the banner are the words “Hello Spring”, also in Sahara Sand,¸and add a contrasting Candy
Dot to finish.
On
a scrap of Naturals White Cardstock, stamp the long stemmed flowers in Sahara
Sand, then fussy-cut around outside, adhere to a contrasting scrap of DSP, and
mount on Dimensionals.
Punch
a flower from the Petite Petal punch in contrasting DSP, and add a Pearl to the
centre.
On
the inside of the card, in Sahara Sand stamp the Thistle from the “Springtime Hello”
stamp set.
