Belly Band card keeper

June showed us how to make this card keeper.
It will hold stamps in the top section and cards and envies in the other two sections.
Based on my A2 cards - I cut the main piece at 6 1/2" x 12 as directed. But I scored it at 5 3/4" and then again at 5 3/4".

The pockets were cut at 6 1/2" x 2 1/2" twice and 1 1/4"
I used 1/8" score tape to keep the pockets securely on.

The band was embossed with the Swiss Dot folder. The envelope flap were embossed with the coordinating folder to match the cards.
The DSP is from SU! as well as the tag stamp on the front.

Gift set - Card purse - box

Maria has challenged us to make a gift set.

I only got as far as the box tonight - the cards will come sometime this week.

Take a look at the other entries as well as Maria's directions.
The card stock I used is from DCWV Rustic collection

A2 Card holder

I followed along to make an A2 Card holder on the Project Tuesday blog.
I found a fun piece of card stock that was nice and thick and sturdy.

I added a piece of Velcro to the inside to keep it closed.

To decorate the front further I followed along with the sketch for challenge #52 at Create4fun blog.

Card purse - card keeper and set of 6 cards

I made this keeper to hold 6 cards. I think it's better with 4 of 5 cards.
I found measurements somewhere blog hopping last week and for the life of me I can't remember which site it was. If anyone knows -please post a comment. I had to change the measurements a little and I added a handle. I also CB the flap portion.

I included a set of 6 cards as mentioned above. The card layout was from April issue at Sheetload of Cards (see April listing.
I used CB embossing folders - and 4 new ones from Sizzix I bought tonight at AC Moore! (click on each pic to see a larger image for detail)
This is for my mother in law for Mother's day.
Velcro added to keep it closed. I will add six stamps as well to complete this Mother's Day gift.

card keeper - recycle snack box

I needed some card keepers - to segregate all my cards that I make. While I saw quite a few how to's on SCS and you tube - as I was emptying a snack box, you know the ones with granola bars in them.. I thought why build one from scratch when I can cover the sturdy boxes, so I covered 4 - here are a couple shown here.

I will segregate the season, or theme in each box and store them on my shelf. I find they hold the standard A2 card and envie. Approx 8 - 10 depending on how much embelleshments you put on the card.
Font on both boxes is from Wild Card cricut cartridge
