Fun Fold using Snow Wonder stamp set and Tis The Season DSP

 

Welcome to my blog. I don’t know the name of this fun fold but have seen several on Pinterest so I decided to try it. The stamp set Snow Wonder has an old fashion snowman. I collect snowmen so had to have the set.The DSP I’m using (Tis The Season) is one of many that are on sale until October 31st. It is pretty simple to make using only paper, stamp, ink and any die shape you want.

Materials and Directions 

- For the card base I used a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored @ 4-1/4

- Card front layer is a piece of Tis The Season DSP 4 x 5-1/4. I glued this to the card front. I then used a layering circle die to cut out the front.

- The inside is a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5-1/4 x 8-1/4 fold in half. Making sure the fold was on the right I stamped the Snowman image. I used blends to color the holly and scarf. On the inside I stamped the sentiment. I forgot blends seep through so I used a piece of the DSP 2 x 5 and glued to cover. I then glued to the inside making sure the fold was on the right.

You can purchase the products I used on my website. Be sure to checkout the DSP that is on sale and purchase what you like before October 31st.

Playful Pets DSP Mini Journals

 Welcome to my blog. Playful Pets DSP is on sale this month. I thought this would make cute mini journals for craft fairs. You only need the paper to make these. I fuzzy cut the critters.

Directions 

- First you need to measure the front and back of the journal. See photo on how I measure. Be sure to measure each journal some can be different. Mine were 2-3/4 x 4-1/2. Cut your DSP.

-I used a rounded corner punch to round the corners on one side. I then glued to the front and back. I used liquid glue to adhere the pieces. It gets you more wiggle room to get it on straight. I trimmed the paper with scissors along the inside covers if needed.

-  I next fuzzy cut the critters from the DSP. I used layering circle die to cut out the circles in red. I then adhered the critter on the circle and glued to the front of the journal.

The DSP you can buy from my website. The journals I got from the Dollar Store( 3 to a pack).

Here are some others I made.
