Another Sissix Die Project

Boy! Was I on a roll this week. I created a mini album using another Sissix die. This die is like an A10 mailing envelope. I used the die and cut out several envies to created a cute little mini that has a lot of realstate. The top of the envie is open so that tags or photomats can be housed there. The envie itself has a lot of room for embellies and more photomats. Enjoy!

Pocket Envelope Project

These Sissix dies keep on packing a powerful punch. They are so versatile and fun to work with. I created a project recently using a pocket envelope die. Because these dies can cut through so many different types of material, it makes for an interesting journey. I created this project with lots of them(pockets) to hold tags and anything else you can stuff into them. You might make one to house your coupons or your receipts from purchases. The uses are endless. I hope you like this project. I also have a YouTube video showing all the features.

Sissix Scoreboards Die Project

Sissix is a tried and trusted name in the crafting world. Their dies are to die for. I have quite a few in my stash and find myself pulling them out over and over again. Recently, I made a booboo and got what I thought was a die that I had seen on a favorite YouTube channel. Needless to say when I finished fumbling on the Joanns.com site, I ended up with two dies. The one I didn't want(at the time) and the one I did want. When they both arrived, the scoreboards die was the least favorite. As I tested it out and did a little searching, I came to love this die. The thing with these dies is the fact that they were designed to be used successfully with chipboard. So I created a project using this die and have come to the conclusion that I might as well keep it. Check out my project.

Pack a Punch

Want to see what two punches can do? These are some flowers I created using these two punches and some creativity. The punches are EK Success punches. I like to call this flower my 4-2-2 punch flowers. I punch out four of these, then two and then two small flowers and then pinch and twist and then adhere them together. In the center, I added some type of bead or pearl. I even made a vellum one. I created a flower spray for the front of a mini album I am working. I hope to complete that project soon, so check back for the finished creation. Next to creating minis, handmade flowers has to be second in line.

Are you Thrifty-Crafty?

Here is a recent thrifty treasure that I found at a local Thrift Shop in my hometown. Don't you just love to go thrift store hopping? I can't wait to alter this beauty of a find.

A Friendly Layout

Recently I shared a layout on my UTube channel that showcases a flower designed using one of my punches. The layout was about a scrappy friend of mine who takes great pictures(I mean she looks good in photos) I used the DCWV line that is called Black Currant. It is a gorgeous paper collection of purples, blacks, beige and some foiled paper. I also used my Cricut as well as my beloved Gypsy to design the frame around the picture. The "enjoy life" title I cut using my Cricut Expression and the Graphically Speaking cartridge. The flowers were very easy to make so check out my new YT channel to see how they go together. My newest Cricut cartridge, "Just Because Cards" appears to have a little learning curve but I hope to post a project with it soon. Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you enjoy the project.
