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.

Above the Clouds fun fold card

Welcome to my blog. Today I got a chance to play with the Above the Clouds bundle. This is a stamp set with a coordinating punch. I decided to make this tent card.

Materials and Directions:
1. Card base -  4 1/4x5 1/2 cardstock folded in half. I used the new Terracotta Tile.
2. Layering pieces- card stock same color as card base 2 3/4 x 4.
DSP 2 1/2 x 4 I used Woven Threads DSP. Glue to front of the card base.
2 pieces of Whisper White 2 1/2 x 3 3/4. 1 for the inside the card, the other for stamping image on.
3. With 1 of the pieces of the Whisper White stamp the images using the Above the Clouds stamp set.
With a left over piece of the DSP I punched a Hot Air Balloon. I used Stampin dimensionals to adhere to the card. I glued this piece to the colored cardstock and then attached to the card as shown
in picture.

4. I stamped the sentiment on the other piece of Whisper White and glued to the inside.

All of the materials for this project can be found on my website. Be sure to use the Host Code you can find on the right for orders less than 150$.
Happy crafting.

Free as a Bird Bundle fun simple cards

The Free as a Bird stamp set has cute bird/flower images and nice sentiments. The DSP paper is beautiful and can be used on its own to make cards. These 2 cards I made are easy and you can make 2 at the same time.
Materials and Directions:
1. Card base-Flirty Flamingo cardstock 81/2 by 11 cut at 5 1/2. This will give you your 2 card bases.
2. Layering pieces- Whisper White and DSP cut @ 4 x 51/4.
  I used the second biggest stitch nested label die to cut out the middle of each. ( if you don’t have these dies use a shape die you have).

  Glue the rectangular pieces to the front of the Card bases.
3.Labels- For the White one I used a sentiment from Floral Essence. The flowers from Free as a Bird.
The sentiment for the other card is from Free as a Bird too.
4. Inside of card- Whisper White 4 x5. I used scraps of DSP to decorate.

You can order the supplies you need from my website. Happy crafting.
