Back On Your Feet pocket slider/2 versions

Welcome to my blog. For today’s card I used Stampin Up and a die from The Stamps of Life. She has some great dies that work great with Stampin Up. I love Stampin Up but I also love products from other venues and like to use them together. If you don’t have the die there are directions on Pinterest on how to make them but found this easier for me.
Materials and Directions Version 1:

1. A piece of cardstock 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. Color of your choice to go with the DSP.
2. A second piece of cardstock (same color). To die cut the slider.
3. A piece of DSP of your choice to cut out the slider layer.
4. Put together using directions from the die video.

Materials and Directions for Version 2:

1. Card base cardstock 9-1/2x4-1/4 ( color of your choice), score at 4-3/4. After scoring die cut an oval on the front. I made the notch using 1 inch circle punch only going in 1/2 way
2. Cardstock insert 4 x 41/2 ( same color as above). Whisper White 3-3/4 x 4-1/4. Glue this piece on top of the colored piece. Put inside he card base then stamp the image and sentiment. Color using what you have. The circle pull I made using 1 inch circle punch and layer circle die.
3. DSP. You need two strips. One 9 x 1, the other 9 x 1/2. The larger wrap around the bottom glue in the back. The smaller around the top and glue in the back.
You can order the supplies needed from my website. Happy Crafting.

Dino Days Bundle/mini composition notebook

Welcome to my blog. This weekend I worked on craft fair items. One of which was composition notebooks. I had just gotten Dino Days bundle and the Dinoroar DSP and I couldn’t wait to use it.
The mini notebooks are nice cause they’re easy to carry in your purse or pocket.
Directionss and Materials:
1. Mini notebooks . I got mine at Dollar general. 3 for 1$.
2. Measure the front from the black binding to the side for the width, top to bottom for the length. I do this for each one because the measurements sometimes differ from each one. You need one for the front and back.

3. Once you cut your paper round the corners with a corner rounder(if you don’t have one you can cut the corners after you glue it to the front). Glue the front and back covers.
4. I used the Dino dies to cut out the dinosaurs to decorate the front.
These will make nice gifts and stocking stuffers.
You can buy this bundle on my website. Don’t forget to use the host code on the right for orders less than 150$.
Happy crafting.
