<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hello! I'm so excited to be sharing a couple projects for today's blog hop with <a href="http://blog.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank">Clearsnap </a>and the <a href="http://www.cardmakermagazine.com/blog/" target="_blank">CardMaker</a> teams. A big thank you to <a href="https://www.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank">Clearsnap </a>for sending me a selection of chalk inks to use today. I appreciate their generosity!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love the properties of chalk inks. The colors are so vibrant and dry to a lovely, matte finish. <a href="https://www.clearsnap.com/chalk-full-size" target="_blank">Clearsnap</a> has such a great variety of colors in this range too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I had gratitude in mind today with both of my cards!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I think this card came together in about 15 minutes. I used <a href="https://www.clearsnap.com/chalk-full-size" target="_blank">Lipstick Red, Cheeky (pink), Chive (green), and Splash (a light turquoise blue color)</a> to stamp this card. These colors are so cheerful together!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I lightly marked in pencil on a panel of solar white cardstock where I wanted my sentiment to be. The easiest way to do this is to set the clear sentiment in place without the acrylic block. The reason I did this was to ensure the sentiment was going to be on top of any flowers added around it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I stamped the flowers to frame this area and allowed to completely dry. I then stamped the sentiment. The quick addition of the leaves and a few dots of Splash ink finishes the card. It's a fast design that would be also be perfect if you have multiples to make. You could also swap out the sentiment for a great birthday or anniversary card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One thing to note is how well these inks work with clear stamps. Sometimes larger, "flat" images can stamp mottled or unevenly with some inks. This is just not the case with Clearsnap's chalk inks. The impression is solid and crisp. I just love how well they worked!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">thanks</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This card has a colorful background created from multiple small images. I used <a href="https://www.clearsnap.com/chalk-full-size" target="_blank">Lipstick Red, Cheeky, and Splash</a> again. I just LOVE this color combination! These chalk inks stamp so cleanly and with great saturation of color.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The finished background reminded me of doodles in a notebook, not that I was ever inattentive at school. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To keep with the school theme, I used an old EK Success punch to add a bit of notebook edge flair. The bubble letter sentiment seemed like the thing to do and was colored with a <a href="http://www.prismacolor.com/products/colored-pencils/softcore-lead" target="_blank">Prismacolor Pink (PC929) pencil</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These colors just make me smile!!!</span><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />I've created two projects to share with you today.<br /><b><br />Let's Celebrate</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqeHjMtZrOjjdYOHmZBBWCv0nS_8IQoppUtpWyvFDUhZuttElRlKpFkC5YQztqW5myL9hchvmTpDDV00vu2ms61T3QDywT38d9mH6pCmdD-b3Im4LXddFjjFmldFaR9OmxTe1uzpg-JdUh/s1600/Celebrate_LMS.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqeHjMtZrOjjdYOHmZBBWCv0nS_8IQoppUtpWyvFDUhZuttElRlKpFkC5YQztqW5myL9hchvmTpDDV00vu2ms61T3QDywT38d9mH6pCmdD-b3Im4LXddFjjFmldFaR9OmxTe1uzpg-JdUh/s400/Celebrate_LMS.jpg" width="343" /></a></div>
<br />The sentiments of the <a href="https://reverseconfetti.com/shop/celebrations/">Celebrations stamp set</a> are really wonderful. I created a quick card with minimal supplies. In fact, I think this would be a great card to create in multiples.<br /><br />It's impossible to tell in the picture, but I added a bit of shimmer to the stamped confetti before adding the sequins.<br /><br /><br /><b>Dad</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRWR_uzApC-aLVN-KCUYDC1OMvCD1UtLUhxaPKsSsdh15yYGO47q0NyMdqopeiqkRXi4Vlp9rjQPfrAXtKuBEyANAQ7X0VUkS5P08Dz6nh_FKUX0glGAqS7v8aHXNyjRqMLhAzY9J6sFDj/s1600/Dad1_LMS.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRWR_uzApC-aLVN-KCUYDC1OMvCD1UtLUhxaPKsSsdh15yYGO47q0NyMdqopeiqkRXi4Vlp9rjQPfrAXtKuBEyANAQ7X0VUkS5P08Dz6nh_FKUX0glGAqS7v8aHXNyjRqMLhAzY9J6sFDj/s400/Dad1_LMS.jpg" width="356" /></a></div>
<br /><br />I thought of this as soon as I saw the stitched pocket in the <a href="https://reverseconfetti.com/shop/tie-rific-confetti-cuts/">Tie-Rific Confetti Cuts</a> and it translated just as I imagined! It's a pocket card... with a pocket! My dad is a button-down shirt kind of guy and I thought of him as I created. I used a natural white cardstock to match the off-white buttons. And the white center panel reminded me of dad's undershirts. ;)<br /><br />The pocket card was created from a 4.25" x 11" strip of cardstock. I scored at 5.5" (just like a top-folding card). I used a super-strong adhesive to adhere the sides of together. However, the deviation in this version is to fold down one corner for my collar.<br /><br />Of course, the little pocket is a perfect place to tuck an added sentiment. I inked each word separately, stamped, and cleaned carefully before repeating with the second word. It's just as easy to cut the stamps apart, if you don't mind a little polymer surgery.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmxPB3TjPWdYtatj8nsWgYIO1TLibMLLorhBtbbIQZ0AVRXfZsIIDSFvJEO_s36NSjGVXuHYTqYzIvjZGS368zHDkKpAM37mvDD667YcwSotGgLgfgiguLtjKhgItu6cmlCxzXW3MoC_K2/s1600/Dad2_LMS.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmxPB3TjPWdYtatj8nsWgYIO1TLibMLLorhBtbbIQZ0AVRXfZsIIDSFvJEO_s36NSjGVXuHYTqYzIvjZGS368zHDkKpAM37mvDD667YcwSotGgLgfgiguLtjKhgItu6cmlCxzXW3MoC_K2/s400/Dad2_LMS.jpg" width="284" /></a></div>
<br />I did keep both cards fairly simple, but hope you enjoyed.<br /><br />The next stop in our hop is the lovely and talented <a href="http://heatherpulvirenti.blogspot.com/search/label/Reverse%20Confetti">Heather Pulvirenti</a>. I believe there will be a prize with this hop ($25 gift certificate), announced on the <a href="https://reverseconfetti.com/blog/">Reverse Confetti blog</a>.<br /><br />Thank you for visiting!

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Without further ado, here's my first project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Get Well Soon:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Greeting Farm kindly let us all pick an image or clear set to use. I selected the Christmas stamp set called <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/shop/index.php/clear-stamps/holidays/let-it-snow-clear.html">Let It Snow by The Greeting Farm</a>. When I first saw the bear in the set, I thought he could be holding a hot mug of soup and altered to look like he's under the weather.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I inked the bear image and used a Q-tip to remove the ink from his mouth. I stamped on white cardstock and then used a Copic Multi-liner pen to draw in a sad face. I know when I'm ill, I tend to look rather pathetic, wrapped up in a blanket with a mug of something warm in hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love using holiday images for non-holiday projects! Talk about getting more for your money! This bear is so cute too, isn't he?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I colored the image simply with Copic markers. I used a handheld Dymo label maker to create my sentiment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My next project is a set of holiday gift tags.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I promise myself <u>every year</u> that I'm going to create my own gift tags for Christmas. And every year, I get down to the wire on holiday preparations and must jettison the idea. It's a good year when I can get my gifts wrapped in time. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The plan this year is to create a few tags each month and tuck them away for my marathon wrapping session. Tell me I'm not the only person to leave the wrapping until the last possible moment? So far, I have two sets of tags ready to go, which is two sets more than I made last year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I usually wrap my gifts in silver paper, so I chose a soft pool color and silver cord to coordinate. Super fast and super simple.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Both of my projects were a bit of an experiment. I thought I'd try my hand at mixed media. While it's not my daily go-to style, I had a lot of fun pulling the elements together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To recreate this card:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Adhere Tim Holtz Idea-ology Melange Tissue Wrap to a white cardstock panel with Distress Collage Medium</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Place the Flourishes stencil over the panel and cover with Transparent Gloss texture paste and allowed to dry</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Using the Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Mermaid Lagoon crayons, color over the background. Blend the crayons with your finger, achieving green, orange, and purple in the background.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Use a damp cloth or baby wipe to remove the crayon from the transparent texture pasted areas. Since the background was treated with the Distress Medium adhesive, the color will remove from these areas as well, so hit only the high spots.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Complete your card and embellish with a medallion and paper string</span></li>
</ol>

<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Place the Lace stencil over the panel and covered with Transparent Gloss texture paste and allow to dry. This step needs to be done carefully. The addition of the texture paste will "move" the crayon a bit and it will be easy to overwork the background. An overworked background = mud = trash bin = : (</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Use a damp cloth or baby wipe to remove the crayon from the open background areas. Since the background was treated with the Distress Medium adhesive, the color will remove easily. All of the crayon under the transparent paste will be trapped.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Complete your card and embellish with ribbon</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Overall, the Distress Crayons are a unique product with very interesting properties. The colors are vibrant and blend well. I know I have more experiments in mind and can't wait to see what the rest of the team created! They are sure to inspire!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This paper was just amazing! I love pretty papers and it seems like ages since I've delved into a paper collection. And wow, what a joy!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My project is a small stationary set with a matching box to house the cards. It's a simple box, but I'd like to step this out a bit so you can recreate it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, here's the box template with score line measurements and what sections to cut:</span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Score, cut and fold along the dotted lines as pictured above. Round the corners of the flap closure and the base of the box for a professional look.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The result is a simple box that will hold either 3 cards + envelopes or 6 completed cards. If your stationary set has bulky embellishments, you'll find that fewer fit.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is a picture of my card box. Because I just LOVED the paper, I opted to keep the box simple in white cardstock and added the patterned paper to the flap. To keep the flap in place, I used a magnet. And I just LOVE that floral pattern.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I created a total of 6 cards with all the same base layout.</span></div>
<div>

Thank you for joining us today for a fun blog hop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am so excited to be creating along with my CardMaker team members using amazing Faber-Castell products. My first project was inspired by the <a href="http://www.fabercastell.com/design-memory-craft-us/products/gift-sets-and-kits/PaperFlowersKit90Pieces/770803T" target="_blank">Faber-Castell Paper Flower Kit</a>. The kit comes with precut flowers, adhesives and four Gelatos to enhance your finished project... everything you'll need to get started!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You should have arrived here from <a href="http://pkod.blogspot.com/" style="font-size: 12pt;">Linda Beeson</a>'s blog. I have the entire blog hop list below, but the fun starts on the <a href="http://www.cardmakermagazine.com/blog/" target="_blank">CardMaker Blog</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNqOE419brfDoGBfLmaKJIZpt08W_wPXdB9CBWDug3igMtUOOl95Y3Rk1H8aRFM4GFWXxB6UZ9yIZoyUZMyMAA36HYyZlBKyT1F6uC9zOIZ_ipgsK3XDbVQ_nF6Ee0ENQrw6N8Vi5PTTO/s1600/Proj1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNqOE419brfDoGBfLmaKJIZpt08W_wPXdB9CBWDug3igMtUOOl95Y3Rk1H8aRFM4GFWXxB6UZ9yIZoyUZMyMAA36HYyZlBKyT1F6uC9zOIZ_ipgsK3XDbVQ_nF6Ee0ENQrw6N8Vi5PTTO/s400/Proj1.jpg" width="346" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I created my dimensional flower from multiple pieces from the kit. The base layer was a white precut flower that was painted with a wash of the Metallic Melon Gelato. When that was dry, I added some lines of clear Texture Gems (a liquid that dries clear). Layered over this is a precut velum flower with Texture Gem dots to look like water droplets. The center was created from two smaller flowers from the kit that were painted with Lemon Gelato and completed with a few dots of Texture Gems.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The kit comes with circle foam adhesive dots to layer the flowers together or adhere to the final project. I kept my card simple to highlight the pretty flower!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The kit comes with detailed instructions to create a few different designs to give you ideas on how to start. I took my inspiration from the flower from page 8.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Since I had my Gelatos out on my desk, I thought I'd create a quick and simple card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I stamped the wreath and flower images with dye ink. Using a Q-Tip, I colored in the images with various colors of Gelatos for a soft halo effect. I didn't worry about staying in the lines! This is a loose method! To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment in the center and added a small die-cut bow to the wreath, colored with the Melon Gelato to match. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Aren't you ready for spring? I know I am!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Are you ready to keep hopping?</span><br />

Nah... we're good.<br />
<br />
To be honest, I found this in my drafts folder! What the heck?! You mean I have to hit the Publish button when I'm finished writing up a post? Haha!<br />
<br />
I was inspired by Julie Ebersole's card <a href="http://papertrufflez.com/2015/11/totally-fabulous.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and created a simple New Year's card with similar elements.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Ht-4LmFcNKowwPpewQkKVfgZNs6mGwSw35Gycwr84jXb0dscXSKKEZwqnHMwL_6HIFAt_JsVkQy2w33J2OUCiCbxR_QVbSmYUE39yK-4GyY16XMa2xyYOFGIkGs63DquqxKCfe3frqwB/s1600/Cheers_2016.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Ht-4LmFcNKowwPpewQkKVfgZNs6mGwSw35Gycwr84jXb0dscXSKKEZwqnHMwL_6HIFAt_JsVkQy2w33J2OUCiCbxR_QVbSmYUE39yK-4GyY16XMa2xyYOFGIkGs63DquqxKCfe3frqwB/s400/Cheers_2016.jpg" width="302" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started with a piece of cardstock that is a blush pink / peach color. It was from a multi-pack that I received from a company that is no longer in business (my apologies, since I don't recall what it's name really is).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall, this was a super simple card, but the elements of gold are just amazing! I adore the Delicata gold ink!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwLEtQIGcmBVl4-Sw9VcSU5ZOcGqswTzuK5xCRcOrFqVWVxwJ7TJOGMEwNhS0sT-lI4iH_9QZkiEJjXvAGxEz_Dh3TbPT9-9T1Rq-wgRs8r1sMHeB4qnmVjYdSYn9ofy2jzS3A97vNqKn7/s1600/Cheers_2016_v2.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwLEtQIGcmBVl4-Sw9VcSU5ZOcGqswTzuK5xCRcOrFqVWVxwJ7TJOGMEwNhS0sT-lI4iH_9QZkiEJjXvAGxEz_Dh3TbPT9-9T1Rq-wgRs8r1sMHeB4qnmVjYdSYn9ofy2jzS3A97vNqKn7/s400/Cheers_2016_v2.jpg" width="290" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The images do not do any justice to the shimmer. I embossed the champagne glasses in gold, colored with my R20 Copic marker, added clear Wink of Stella and fussy cut. I covered with Glossy Accents and allowed to dry. In most cases, I take the time to remove all the bubbles when I add Glossy Accents... this time, I let them stay. They add to the champagne effect!</div>

Thanks for joining me today for <a href="http://www.cardmakermagazine.com/blog/" target="_blank">the CardMaker Magazine blog</a> team and <a href="https://www.mayarts.com/" target="_blank">May Arts</a> Blog hop, featuring Valentine's Day cards. I'm very excited to be joining a very talented list of artists and have two projects to share.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today's projects are all about the ribbon! My first card features three different ribbons for maximum texture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Love:</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Trim a card panel to 4" x 5.25" from 80# Neenah Solar White cardstock</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Die cut a heart into the panel * I centered it and placed closer to the top of the panel.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Create a top-folding card from 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock with a finished size of 4.25" x 5.5"</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Place the heart-opening card panel on the card base and mark lightly the opening with a pencil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Adhere strips of ribbon on the card base to cover the area of the heart window * I alternated the glitter and rosette ribbons and did not go all the way to the edge of the card base.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Add a double layer of foam tape to the card panel around the heart opening. Place on the card base.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Die cut "love" sentiment and snip the word from the heart frame to remove. Adhere to the front.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Embellish with one red sequin heart (bonus - it has adhesive on the back!)</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because this has a bit of bulk, it will either require extra postage or will need to be hand delivered.</span><br />

<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Die cut two circles from the Cross-Stitched Circles by MFT (here are my X's and O's!) from 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Score one of the circles at 0.5" and add a strong adhesive to this portion. Secure to the other circle to form the card base</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Die cut a heart from red cardstock</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Prep the heart with an anti-static tool and stamp with "HUGS & KISSES" sentiment with Versamark ink. Cover with white embossing powder and heat set</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Adhere the heart to the card base with foam tape</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Embellish with a red sequin, self-adhesive heart</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Knot a small amount of gold sheer ribbon and adhere with a glue dot to complete the card</span></li>

Hopefully, you aren't sick of all things Christmas yet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I don't always like mass producing cards. My limit is usually around 10 or 12 cards per design. Since I send so many, I started making more than one design. Not only does it help me break up the monotony of multiples, I can use more of my holiday images and papers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Both of the card designs below are from Julie Ebersole's collection with Ellen Hutson. I love her images and always look forward to the releases.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tis the Season</span></b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I cut a window in the front of my card panel and had my speeding car driving through. Because I colored with Copic markers, it's not a true one layer card. I didn't want the color to seep through to the back of the finished project. I added some shimmer with the Wink of Stella Clear pen, covered with Glossy Accents and added in a bit of snow for our winter travelers. I also added the Stitched Flourish behind the car, but it's only visible when the project is open. This is a simple and flat card, perfect for mailing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I took a break from stamping and creating. Oh, I was creating, but only for loved ones. It wasn't a bad thing to take a break. I returned to reading blogs and digging around again in the crafting community and found that a great deal had changed in that time. Companies that were producing stamps at a frantic pace were no longer around, new companies emerged and social media changed how projects were being shared. Watercoloring is en vogue. Crafters are sharing videos for everything they create. We're a fickle lot... I know I'm easily influenced by trends. I've foiled most of the house since I bought my Minc. And LOVE it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Beyond this, it's been the usual busy lifestyle. My children are teens (one bound for college soon - eek!). I have traveled a bit for work and have visited some interesting places.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors directly to my stamp. I lightly misted the stamp with water and pressed onto Strathmore watercolor paper. This technique worked well for mass-production, because I could re-spray with water and get a second impression. I was also able to go to the paper with some additional watercolors or water to blend again. I heat embossed the sentiment with clear powder after stamping with Versafine Onxy Black ink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thanks and I'll see you again soon!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 1:</strong> <br />
<br />
Trim a 2" x 12" piece of cardstock for the base and sides of your purse box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrLg080ins1D9KkSGAvpC1FbX1GsAqDhfpef8eDzKZqKLgeCq33RFxOlum0yKeRxo4bWeG3NF3My8rr0PmsogWiBGYzceMgQXEE4okxHRbNVb_YKht2sYRTShR24iZFjsbT952PBg3qNAH/s1600/01_Sides-and-Bottom_LSilver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrLg080ins1D9KkSGAvpC1FbX1GsAqDhfpef8eDzKZqKLgeCq33RFxOlum0yKeRxo4bWeG3NF3My8rr0PmsogWiBGYzceMgQXEE4okxHRbNVb_YKht2sYRTShR24iZFjsbT952PBg3qNAH/s400/01_Sides-and-Bottom_LSilver.jpg" width="370" /></a></div>
<br />
Score according to the template below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0d6STydQio-SFDhR7GtEHDYM-mM63lQj-Yx7ow30Iu3fQWxKHiPg64rfjo6ZilHanxH9uX7S6i_q4m0YE47hzn5a13NT9CpZwXmV3G9709JVfiTK18n6MQJwEalV5O4zyUno5ajtZxKCe/s1600/Sides-Bottom+Template.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0d6STydQio-SFDhR7GtEHDYM-mM63lQj-Yx7ow30Iu3fQWxKHiPg64rfjo6ZilHanxH9uX7S6i_q4m0YE47hzn5a13NT9CpZwXmV3G9709JVfiTK18n6MQJwEalV5O4zyUno5ajtZxKCe/s640/Sides-Bottom+Template.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Add <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scor-tape</span></a> to the 0.25" edge and snip at 4" and 8" marks to the 0.25" score so the sides with fold upward.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyAEj3NhRp4p48HCBj3fSTTBE8yGOxKXWrAB9GSm0hCTPQhNL_fv0LGKzJhgzrL_JzqYxncxdWIelJ-EDIdhwOBahjcNMXhdRfXl8jFqcn0OP13u8uo9aoERB35CXFEKaqtta0y8gpcDBp/s1600/03_Add-Scor-Tape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyAEj3NhRp4p48HCBj3fSTTBE8yGOxKXWrAB9GSm0hCTPQhNL_fv0LGKzJhgzrL_JzqYxncxdWIelJ-EDIdhwOBahjcNMXhdRfXl8jFqcn0OP13u8uo9aoERB35CXFEKaqtta0y8gpcDBp/s400/03_Add-Scor-Tape.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong><br />
<br />
Trim two pieces of cardstock 4" x 3-7/8".<br />
<br />
Create the front and back panels of your purse box according to the template below. Make a small score mark at 1" and 3" to note where the top needs to slim. Use a scissors or a paper trimmer to remove the top corners.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0lLC8x9L4jlfP-IV8_Fq0W7xDO6XDBaFTsCyb5kWpflC-XA6bWQITetL4s7Qq0t7wWVSCE1DCwL5hkeH6nItgwkiwv8HEVT96JUogPxzARycC0lpdVYQCz4ngqX_T5heam5htmzm_MbkW/s1600/Front-Back+Template.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0lLC8x9L4jlfP-IV8_Fq0W7xDO6XDBaFTsCyb5kWpflC-XA6bWQITetL4s7Qq0t7wWVSCE1DCwL5hkeH6nItgwkiwv8HEVT96JUogPxzARycC0lpdVYQCz4ngqX_T5heam5htmzm_MbkW/s400/Front-Back+Template.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Create two identical pieces.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvnHFq3-ENQ1o-6GcIk7l8IPGQrmL6rf2cYiwzWBYje6kQqpi8HgWiCWubAYmni68GdYjTATAfH8t6U6gV4LL44i43PJR9Mohcun0J4hqEJKM3hWk1W-D4hEj17OAgRN6Ruz1M3WRZi3cx/s1600/02_Front-and-Back_LSilver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvnHFq3-ENQ1o-6GcIk7l8IPGQrmL6rf2cYiwzWBYje6kQqpi8HgWiCWubAYmni68GdYjTATAfH8t6U6gV4LL44i43PJR9Mohcun0J4hqEJKM3hWk1W-D4hEj17OAgRN6Ruz1M3WRZi3cx/s400/02_Front-and-Back_LSilver.jpg" width="358" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 3:</strong><br />
<br />
Adhere the front and back of the purse to the bottom of the box (prepared in step 1).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtH0o0FtaxizQRckbgqAFMia4ExHpm0haUZrsIe5eaTJ6Yk8MvQPgowFyRftQNVzYjajlnqJUGYrKwv3MNN15xhOrAqtzBR1T_8pVLhcy8DWQGFDeqVkoH85qakzQF-l6sxkwqwbUcwRbV/s1600/04_Adhere-Front-and-Back-to.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="363" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtH0o0FtaxizQRckbgqAFMia4ExHpm0haUZrsIe5eaTJ6Yk8MvQPgowFyRftQNVzYjajlnqJUGYrKwv3MNN15xhOrAqtzBR1T_8pVLhcy8DWQGFDeqVkoH85qakzQF-l6sxkwqwbUcwRbV/s400/04_Adhere-Front-and-Back-to.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Adhere the sides to the front and back of the box. Set aside as we prep the top the purse box.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 4:</strong><br />
<br />
Trim a piece of cardstock 2-1/2" x 3" in a different color paper than the box base.<br />
<br />
Score and trim according to the template below, creating it similarly to how the front and back of the box was created. Note that the top of the box will need to be slightly smaller than the 2" opening of the box for a better fit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEyEjoDDjRqA6OvRNJ0Hiu9O9ZswOmIuY2PXD7M93jOF96oyLBaAI0DM71Kg5SEeA9aiICqcyL6j181tU5qtGVyB9GDl28_NzDhZpuLRv0YVracC0OwtTiEkkA1gFb-DheSH3BQgSJpEw/s1600/Top+Template.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEyEjoDDjRqA6OvRNJ0Hiu9O9ZswOmIuY2PXD7M93jOF96oyLBaAI0DM71Kg5SEeA9aiICqcyL6j181tU5qtGVyB9GDl28_NzDhZpuLRv0YVracC0OwtTiEkkA1gFb-DheSH3BQgSJpEw/s400/Top+Template.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Add <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scor-tape</span></a> along the 0.25" scored edge and adhere to the top (inside edge) of the box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyI_5h82fxQGGxdSn-OUMAtZUvel7dqidHhXECGZW3v2j8c1QdRLxPvIMXmrQDuhDHYfLgjH69su9Nc_dN1L5Ml0LkRpUTazhlms06Dg90COMVfAbRshwWR3-Ou5lLa8VWwoV5IqZl_oLG/s1600/05_Prep-Top_LSilver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyI_5h82fxQGGxdSn-OUMAtZUvel7dqidHhXECGZW3v2j8c1QdRLxPvIMXmrQDuhDHYfLgjH69su9Nc_dN1L5Ml0LkRpUTazhlms06Dg90COMVfAbRshwWR3-Ou5lLa8VWwoV5IqZl_oLG/s400/05_Prep-Top_LSilver.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<strong>Step 5:</strong><br />
<br />
Add decorative trim, a cord handle and a Velcro closure to the box to finish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj57vwh6xQFMpTslI31Tw72EH6GBphTntSB57QU7D3Jj0xRU8H5R5ODYyL3upNenwqy0VrCCXCx7bDuRkBWlCH9fGVGdejs96OF6p_RvqoSMTfYAm18TnfBDmVXa02bs9WDVPqR9Poic40p/s1600/06_Add-Trim-and-Velcro_LSil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj57vwh6xQFMpTslI31Tw72EH6GBphTntSB57QU7D3Jj0xRU8H5R5ODYyL3upNenwqy0VrCCXCx7bDuRkBWlCH9fGVGdejs96OF6p_RvqoSMTfYAm18TnfBDmVXa02bs9WDVPqR9Poic40p/s400/06_Add-Trim-and-Velcro_LSil.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<strong>Step 6:</strong><br />
<br />
Stamp the image or sentiment on Shrink Film with the StazOn ink. Punch out your shape.<br />
<br />
<strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: Punch a hole in the top of your piece before you heat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs3J9CgmeP0guoSOUkVXIpeDcAYRiRcFqltPDS3XS_1p6Pol6-7w_nmuwNo_NAAtB9igf2S0vp08Lqunb055fp5I1_IPoVKCSFnIovA0BmQ85J31QSgDufIvC4Gt4_ddjHhy0G04hztQbl/s1600/07_Stamp-Tag_LSilver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs3J9CgmeP0guoSOUkVXIpeDcAYRiRcFqltPDS3XS_1p6Pol6-7w_nmuwNo_NAAtB9igf2S0vp08Lqunb055fp5I1_IPoVKCSFnIovA0BmQ85J31QSgDufIvC4Gt4_ddjHhy0G04hztQbl/s400/07_Stamp-Tag_LSilver.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<strong>Step 7:</strong><br />
<br />
You can either follow directions on the package to shrink in your oven - OR - you can use your heat gun to shrink.<br />
<br />
<strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> Please use a heat safe surface. Your <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82&products_id=288" target="_blank">Scor-Mat cutting and work surface</a> is not heat safe and will warp.<br />
<br />
If you do use your heat gun, use a piercing tool to hold the piece in place. I usually opt to insert the tool into the punched hole, so it will remain open while I heat. Also, I keep an acrylic block near. While the piece is still hot, I will use the block to flatten any stubborn or curled edge.<br />
<br />

<br />
Use the little plastic tag as an embellishment to your newly created purse box. It reminded me of the tags or key fobs you might see on high-end purses... and it's a lovely way to make the simple very special.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, now that we have the business out of the way, I'd love to share a tutorial to create a unique gift box. Spring affords us with many opportunities for gift giving like Mother's Day, bridal / baby showers and graduations. I created a mini Hat Box that will make a lovely way deliver a special present this year. You can also modify the colors and style to share a special birthday or Christmas gift too (so tuck this away for later!).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, let's begin!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_JdGr0x8uoSKIjxVTXokD2yjSDDQx6EGfCeqodXdd0x8V2TbVwK1qVq-4S5cds0Y7pngCKCfF7s_L0iyNIItRHG_s5v9c3DpQcCdpwPvSMJgvxKY6p98NGL-ZaiQPKTgW1k_9oJ9kclWb/s1600/Mini-Hat-Box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_JdGr0x8uoSKIjxVTXokD2yjSDDQx6EGfCeqodXdd0x8V2TbVwK1qVq-4S5cds0Y7pngCKCfF7s_L0iyNIItRHG_s5v9c3DpQcCdpwPvSMJgvxKY6p98NGL-ZaiQPKTgW1k_9oJ9kclWb/s1600/Mini-Hat-Box.jpg" height="373" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first step is to start with two equal hexagons of cardstock. You can opt to use dies or create your own using a compass and ruler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To create your own with a compass, as I have done, please refer to this </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagon"><span style="font-family: inherit;">LINK</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> for a demonstration. It's easy and you can customize the size of your final box. Create two -OR- make one, cut and trace for the second hexagon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQxqlACqo9-ggLkzEDpiVhrDshu-DR2HrEf2s37iGEVct2ebIpoEY916zqc2Y3v4CqPpo0kOmSfJRtupeVnFyjOUNqM4ZTTfs48Zsl8CBaZd5mDHPmTbRHUFWawYnYuEqYFmhxdixLgFwU/s1600/01_Hexagons_LMS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQxqlACqo9-ggLkzEDpiVhrDshu-DR2HrEf2s37iGEVct2ebIpoEY916zqc2Y3v4CqPpo0kOmSfJRtupeVnFyjOUNqM4ZTTfs48Zsl8CBaZd5mDHPmTbRHUFWawYnYuEqYFmhxdixLgFwU/s1600/01_Hexagons_LMS.jpg" height="331" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Score your hexagons using your </span><a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scor-Pal scoring board</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and </span><a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87&products_id=298"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scor-Tool</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. The first should be scored 0.25" from each edge and the other 0.38" from the edge.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Trim cardstock to the length required for your Hexagons. The dimensions are as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">TOP:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Width = 2.5"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Length = (the length of one side of the hexagon x 6) + 0.25"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">BOTTOM:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Width = 2.25"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Length = (the length of one side of the hexagon x 6) + 0.25"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Take into consideration the "loss" at each score. You may want to trim a longer piece of cardstock that is needed and score each of the box sides, one at a time. Make a mark or number the first 2 sides so you can match your custom scores.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The added 0.25" will be used to close the side of the box and will have </span><a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scor-tape</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> alone the edge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Score the cardstock for the box sides using your </span><a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scor-Pal scoring board</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and </span><a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87&products_id=298"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scor-Tool</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now it is time to create a unique closure that will pull this project together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thread a button with May Arts cord and pull the cord ends through the bottom of the box - through the hole we punched earlier. Secure this button to the bottom of the box with <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scor-tape</span></a> to keep in position.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thread the cord through the top of the box and out of the hole on top. Add a button. Tie off the cord, leaving about 2.5 - 3" of excess so you can open the box. Test the length before securing a knot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">REMEMBER: The top button must move freely in order for the box to open.</span><br />

So, let's begin!<br />

<br />
Following the template below, score your box base at the noted marks using your <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65">Scor-Pal scoring board</a> and <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87&products_id=298">Scor-Tool</a>.<br />

<br />
Fold along all the score lines and snip along the small center scores.<br />

<br />
Cut the center sections into points as shown and add <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70">Scor-tape</a> to close the sides.<br />
<br />

<br />
You can set this aside once you've embellished as you desire.<br />
<br />
Score the cardstock for the box top as show in the template below using your <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65">Scor-Pal scoring board</a> and <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87&products_id=298">Scor-Tool</a>.<br />

Cut along the small score marks (on the ends only) to be able to close the top. You do not need to cut to a point as we did with the box base. Add <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70">Scor-tape</a> to close.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I created four small cards (3" x 3") to go in my mini box. Of course, if you create cards, you'd love to also have mini envelopes to accompany them, right?<br />
<br />
Using your <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=105&products_id=339">Scor-Envi</a>, score as directed on the tool for the 3" x 3" envelope. This begins with a 5-3/4" square piece of paper with scores at 4-1/4" and 7-3/4" along both sides.<br />
<br />

<br />
Snip and remove the corners. Use <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70">Scor-tape</a> to close your envelope.<br />

Complete your project with patterned paper, stamped images and fun colors. I just love the retro feel to the images!<br />

So, let's get started.<br />
<br />
<strong>STEP 1</strong>: Trim two pieces of cardstock for your Brag Book Base from Straw 80# cardstock:<br />
<br />
4.25" x 11" and 4.25" x 10.5"<br />
<br />
Score both pieces as outlined below in the template, using your <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65">Scor-Pal</a> and <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87&products_id=298">Scor-Tool.</a> Only one of the pieces will have a small 0.5" flap on the end.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<strong>STEP 2</strong>: Add a strip of <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70&zenid=104ea3a1bc058cf9f4a158ef2a4cae4c">Scor-Tape</a> to the 0.5" flap of your book base.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<strong>STEP 3</strong>: Align the edges and adhere the two pieces together to create a continuous accordion fold book base.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Yr3MbOu_DSqmghFu_baIEYXwmuOnq_IboLSb_2BWJuS2RUKHD1Ek2m18z2p0XNy6iBAwmJPPPHmPIKuVxWMm35iWuVkZxrZHczENxnNyG5wtDcycUzvxS8H31ksDoEcSPYRCJU5Njqel/s1600/03_Book-Base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Yr3MbOu_DSqmghFu_baIEYXwmuOnq_IboLSb_2BWJuS2RUKHD1Ek2m18z2p0XNy6iBAwmJPPPHmPIKuVxWMm35iWuVkZxrZHczENxnNyG5wtDcycUzvxS8H31ksDoEcSPYRCJU5Njqel/s1600/03_Book-Base.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<strong>STEP 4</strong>: Here's the fun part! Use patterned paper, die cuts, stamped images and embellishments to personalize the book base. Because this project is intended as a brag book, leave plenty of open spaces to add photos or journaling.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7WD1biBZQFQnVYKl7N4zOqz4LhfxKpgGadKn6bmukfT3E0hj0xt_StUbIGtyri8rQd1fmnsPtUWPnefwsfLcSgd4DpDuaCd6D7eQw66hnrZChyphenhyphenVALbgljW5VYM8B3paxSR26WmYOizwc/s1600/04_Decorate-Base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7WD1biBZQFQnVYKl7N4zOqz4LhfxKpgGadKn6bmukfT3E0hj0xt_StUbIGtyri8rQd1fmnsPtUWPnefwsfLcSgd4DpDuaCd6D7eQw66hnrZChyphenhyphenVALbgljW5VYM8B3paxSR26WmYOizwc/s1600/04_Decorate-Base.jpg" height="231" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<strong>STEP 5:</strong> Cut a strip of coordinating cardstock (2" x 8.5") to be a band around the brag book as a closure. Score as outlined in the template below.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>STEP 6:</strong> Add <a href="http://scor-pal.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70&zenid=104ea3a1bc058cf9f4a158ef2a4cae4c">Scor-Tape</a> to the end inner portion of the band to be adhered to the last page of the book.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpofKHKtnZrDKv5qmHZjsqxxVD0zHff-a1wSQPhYB9SM5CHM9ElXmvLyrWVgbJ-rmCmcyXnS2BJ8Nuqtre85-0_IvbGT2T4RwEcDtP9nTLN2nJa2VF1tK5XrHujT9kupsTtmL5DCmg-VJt/s1600/06_Add-Scor-Tape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpofKHKtnZrDKv5qmHZjsqxxVD0zHff-a1wSQPhYB9SM5CHM9ElXmvLyrWVgbJ-rmCmcyXnS2BJ8Nuqtre85-0_IvbGT2T4RwEcDtP9nTLN2nJa2VF1tK5XrHujT9kupsTtmL5DCmg-VJt/s1600/06_Add-Scor-Tape.jpg" height="308" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<strong>STEP 7:</strong> Adhere to the last page, keeping in mind placement along the front of the book.<br />
<br />
Add a small piece of Velcro (or a magnet) to opposite flap for easy opening. After all, it's a brag book and the recipient will want to open often to share their joy!<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can create a static closure by making a "belly band" that slides on and off the book.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihg0sd3dAtu1li4y6KdDxHXuIrmoFKkmJ5Lgj38FOHsInevkJvU51wprE9tsJ7cwhxskJZUzw9ViKpMLpBzI2mQ3TCN0uxyRRcehd3GrvOwLS3se8hGWcbiyCnvC1spj0RoKMzph4YEjTm/s1600/07_Add-Velcro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihg0sd3dAtu1li4y6KdDxHXuIrmoFKkmJ5Lgj38FOHsInevkJvU51wprE9tsJ7cwhxskJZUzw9ViKpMLpBzI2mQ3TCN0uxyRRcehd3GrvOwLS3se8hGWcbiyCnvC1spj0RoKMzph4YEjTm/s1600/07_Add-Velcro.jpg" height="347" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<strong>TIP</strong>: When aligning Velcro or magnetic closures, secure both pieces (hook / loop or positive / negative pieces) and adhere on the moving part of the flap - the part that you lift to open. In this example, this is the flap that is open and on the left side of the image above. Remove the adhesive backing for the other side of the closure. Gently align and close to ensure it's proper placement.</blockquote>
<br />
A view of the open brag book from the front is below. The closure will remain with the book, but will not be a hindrance to enjoying the finished project.<br />
