If you head over to the Scrap Orchard Market and check out PixelGeek Design’s Products you will find this super cute Flip Top Box…. perfect for recipes, flashcards, lists and a whole lot more.  You will love how easy it is to print out and put together and you are only limited by your imagination to how you decorate it.

Tutorial Tuesday

May 18, 2010 Author: Judy | Filed under: Miscellaneous
Wow – it’s been awhile since we have had a Tutorial Tuesday.  Today I am going to show a stamping technique that I used to get two colors on a stamped image.  I used the gift bag template from Scrap Orchard.
Since this template is pre-colored I needed to trace the template on an off white piece of cardstck for this project.

Copy Template on desired cardstock

I gathered my stamp set and inks.  I chose a light color and a very bright color.

Gather stamps & ink pads. Always stamp the light color first. Stamp image in light color first. Then with the brighter or darker color sponge around the edges of the stamp or the desired spot where you want color to pop. Next sponge along the edges of stamp with darker ink

 

Here you can see both inks on stamped image. HINT: clean the stamp between each time you stamp so that you don't get darker color on light color stamp pad!! Here is the stamped image before & after sponged

Here is what is looks like stamped randomly on bag template

 This technique works really well this flower and butterflies too!  So I hope to see you next Tuesday.

Win It! Wednesday

May 12, 2010 Author: Sally | Filed under: Free'bee', Miscellaneous, Win It! Wednesday

Hi everyone! It’s Win It! Wednesday again! This week Mel has a really cute matchbook template for you that you can use as either an album or a notepad. Way too cute! Click on the preview to download the free’bee’ template, and keep reading for directions and photos of what the completed project looks like!

Ready to give it a try? Ok, here we go :)

1. Decorate the template any way you’d like digitally.

2. Print the templates

3. Cut out the pieces. This one is really easy to cut, all straight lines!

4. Score the matchbook cover on the score lines and fold.

5. Take the notepad pieces (you can decorate this like mini scrapbook pages if you want to use this as an album) and arrange them as you like. Place them inside the bottom flap of the matchbook cover and staple in the center.

6. Tuck the top flap of the matchbook cover into the bottom flap, like a matchbook, lol

7. Voila! You’re all done!

Here’s my project. I turned it into a mini planner for activities my daughter and I have planned for this summer. I used Spittin Seeds from Amanda Heimann to make it.

Don’t forget! Once you complete this project, come back and leave me a link to a photo of it, and you could win a $4 gift certificate to Pixel Geek Designs store at Scrap Orchard!

Until next week,

Happy Hybrid!
