Saturday's Workshop - Recipe Box Tutorial

Saturday was a lot of fun and it was a workshop that didn't take all day!  Aren't these recipe boxes absolutely darling!  Well, I am going to include a tutorial on exactly what we did.

Supplies:  Just blooms blossoms; Tulip Mini-Medley Accents Collection; Waxy Flax; Cherry O Paper Pack (1 sheet of Tulip Cardstock (CS); 1 sheet of Sweet Leaf CS; 2 different B&T papers--I used cherries & stripes); Blush or Sweet Leaf ink; Daubers; 1 My Creations Recipe Box; Bonding Memories Glue.

1.  First cut out all your pieces: 

Cherries:  (2) Front/Back 6" x 4.5"

                (2) Tops (Inside and outside) 6-1/8" x 3.5"

Stripes:    (2) Sides 3-3/8" x 4-3/8"

               (2) Flaps 6-1/8" x 2-1/4"

2.  For the flap, you can trace the pattern on the back of the B&T with a pencil and then cut it out.  Remember that you will cut it down so that the edges will show.

3. With either Sweet Leaf or Blush ink, use a dauber to brush on ink on all corners that will be exposed.

4.  Bonding Memories glue makes a great glue to coat your pieces and glue them to your Recipe Box.

DIVIDERS

1.  From your Tulip and Sweet Leaf Cardstock, cut 6" x 4" pieces cardstock.  One-half sheet of cardstock will make three dividers.

2.  Cut out divider decorative strip 1.5" x 6".  Cut the mat for the strip 1.75" x 6".  Glue the decorative strip to the mat.  Glue mat 1/2" from top of dividers. 

3.  Create your tabs and glue them to the Dividers

Hope you all enjoy these darling boxes!!

Mulligan

For those of you who are not golfing fans, a Mulligan is a do-over.  After the disaster from the cap popping off my Clear Glitz Glitter glue, I pulled off the strip with ribbon and flower and greeting and redid the card.  I have a dear friend that I missed her birthday this past month because I hadn't written down the date.  So here is my Mulligan:

Supplies Used:  Cherry-O Paper Pack; Cherish the Moment Stamp Set; Chocolate, Sweet Leaf, Tulip, and Colonial White CS; Retired Sweet Leaf B&T paper; Tulip Ink; Sweet Leaf Ribbon Round; Tulip Mini Medley Accent Collection; Stardust Glitz Glitter Glue.

May Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

It's BLOG HOP time!  The May stamp of the month is D1421 Cherish the Moment.  What a unique set of stamps for every occasion.  For this month's blog hop, you will see artwork from almost 60 consultants.  HOWEVER, the reason this hop is so special is that not only will you see the May Stamp of the Month but you will also be seeing a wave of new product from the Summer 2010 Catalog!  You have arrived here from Helen Onulak's blog.

My card below features the Cherry-O Level II paper pack. 

Supplies Used:  Cherry-O Paper Pack; Cheris the Moment Stamp Set; Chocolate, Sweet Leaf, Tulip, and Colonial White CS Inks; Olive, Indian Corn Blue, Outdoor Denim, and Goldrush CS; Sweet Leaf Ribbon Round; Tulip Mini Medley Accent Collection; Lots and lots and lots of Clear Glitz Glitter Glue (see below).

Ok, you know how sometimes you struggle to get glitter to show up.  Well, here's what happened when I was making my card and finishing it up with some Glitz Glitter Glue.  As I was squeezing to get out some glitter for the flower to make it pop a little more, the cap popped off:

Oh yes, that is gobs and gobs of glitter glue. I tried to salvage the card by scrapping off what I could be the card was all buckly.  The next morning, after it had dried, it didn't look so bad.
