Expressions in Ink fun fold

 Welcome to my blog. I needed more thank you cards so decides to use Expressions in Ink DSP and Pale Papaya cardstock. Since both sides of the DSP is beautiful I used this fold so both could be seen.

Materials and Directions 

- The card base  is Pale Papaya cardstock 5-1/2 x 4-1/4. Cut so one side has a one inch edge.

- The DSP is Expressions in Ink 4 x 5-1/2.

- Put glue on the inside of 1” edge. Adhere the DSP.

- Paper for the edge is the reverse side of the DSP 1-3/4 x 5-1/2 . Adhere to card base edge.

- The inside is white cardstock 3-3/4 x 5. For the corners I used a 1x 1 piece of the DSP cut diagonally and glued to the corners.

- The sentiment is a die from my stash.

You can buy the cardstock and DSP from my website.

Pencil holders using retired Halloween DSP

 

Welcome to my blog. Here is another craft fair item that is simple. This one is Halloween related but I’ll be making some Christmas ones as well. I’m using retired DSP because I didn’t buy the new Halloween paper. I don’t make a lot of Halloween cards and items so I could not see buying the new one. If you need Halloween paper or other related items you can find them on page 50 of the mini catalog. You then can purchase them from my website.

Materials and Directions 

- You’ll need a piece of DSP 10-3/4 x 1-1/2 score at 6 and 6-1/4

- After scoring I place tear and tape on the inside of the long side. Then I adhere the pencils.

- Then I close the holder and tie it shut with ribbon.
