Sweet mini album for baby's first year

A friend asked me for a baby album that she could give her daughter. Her idea was to place pictures for each month of his first year.

This mini has 12 pages for pictures and pockets to hold more as well.

Graduation card

My daughter's boyfriend graduated from Northeastern University last Friday. The school colors are red and black so I made this card for him. I need to pick up a couple gift cards before I can mail the card to him. Luckily he also landed a job right out of college!!!

I used two different embossing folders from Stampin' Up Sizzix brand. The tag is a Spellbinders die held on with vintage twine.

Snap bags

I bought one of these snap type purses at a craft fair last fall and vowed to make them... on my to do list! Here is a sampling I made this week. I bought more fabric and will be showing more in a variety of colors and sizes.
Here is a video showing how they are styled.

Butterfly Edged Mini Album

I bought this Sizzix die today, it's a Butterfly Edge Sizzix Die that I picked up at Joann's craft store this morning. I used Die Cuts with a View "The Tradewinds paper" stack, I created this mini album. Hope you enjoy the fabulous metallic card stock.
The video can be found on you tube or watched below, to see the inside pages.

Mini Flip Up albums

These three mini albums I designed using the card stock from Die Cuts with a View "The Tradewinds Stack" , my cinch, and some fabric ribbons and rhinestones.

Lots of fun creating using my Sizzix and Spellbinder dies.
I have loaded the video if you like to view the inside pages to my YouTube channel.

Pinwheel Magnet

I saw this on pinterest and just had to make it!.
I used a 2 1/2 square and cut it on double sided pattern paper.
Using strong glue dots (you can use your glue gun or a thumb tack) make the pinwheel and attach it to a clothes pin.
Add a strong magnet to the back and you got a cute magnet!

This was created for a kids class I was to teach.

Sew much Thanks

This was a cute sentiment stamp set from the SU mini catalog and from the past Sale A Bration catalog that ended in March.
I made this card for my BIL and SIL. It is an easel card and they are quite fun to make for an added pop up type element. For the top layer of the card, you can score the front either exactly in half, or as I have done here at 2 1/4" from the fold line to obtain a higher peak of the easel. This type of card will be in one of my future classes as well. Love to mix it up a bit.

All element are from Stampin Up.

Hand Sanitizer treat bags

I filmed this video and uploaded on April 6th but it failed the youtube upload. I just noticed it now and had to reload. :P

I made 6 of these for my daughter and her room mates in college. They were sent with their Easter cards as a little treat. Sadly - the picture of the 6 Easter cards did not come out!

Hope you enjoy the video!
