I got the idea from from 321 stamp's blog Theses are her instructions I am sharing with you. Here is what you will change; Start with a 4 1/4" card stock square for the box Score 7/8" from each of the 4 edges (that's INSTEAD OF the 1" in Diana's version) Also adjust the size of the printed Designer Series Paper that's wrapped around the box to make the bag. Mine is 6" by 10 1/2". Lastly I adjusted the size of the strip that's around the bottom of the box/bag. Mine started as 1 1/4" by 10 1/2" and then one long edge was punched with SU's Scallop Bor...

Well this is the last Fun Friday for a couple of weeks I go to convention next Friday and I will still be at convention the following. I am so excited to be going to stamp camp LOL. That's what my hubby calls convention! I have tomorrow's project for you to see. It did not make this card I made but I received and we will be using the instructions that came with the card. The talented stamper who made this card is Andrea Buckland a stamping friend from Australia. We met through The late night stampers group . Andrea sent me this card and the instructions as part of a swap that I will be heading up at convention. All participants have sent me a tutorial for a project. I am presently burning well over 100 copies to distribute to the participants! I have made a few extra copies for my Lucky stamp ten groups this fall. So if you are interested why not join my group! You don;t have to be present to participate. One of my favorite parts of being a demo is all the wonderfully generou...

I am in love with the new movers and shapers die from Stampin'up! It cuts and scores a card while cutting out a decorative piece from the card front at the same time! The Curly Label die includes a grid on the inside which allows for exact placement of the movable label piece. This die also coordinates with Curly Label Punch Bundle. For this project I used the heart shaper and the heart punch! it is a bit tricky but I am working on a tutorial and promise to share when it is ready! Thanks for looking Virginia!
