Dot & Whimsy

Happy middle-of-the-week, everyone!

I have a bit of fun news to share....

It has been quite some time since I have applied for a "DT Call", but I just

couldn't pass up this opportunity to try out for one of my very favorite

papercrafting companies!  

I look forward to creating cute things with their cute products and designing

alongside my newest team-mates!  I'll be sharing more with you soon :)

 

I have a really easy tutorial for a gift card holder using 

new "B-Side" collection and embellishments.

  This only takes a few minutes to whip together, so make several to have on-hand!

 First, cut your favorite pattern of “B Side” paper to 4 1/8” X 12”. 

 Place the paper horizontally onto a scoring board.  

Score at 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 9.5 inches.

 Fold along the lines in the above fashion.

 Turn the paper over so that inside pattern is facing down.  Place a high tack adhesive tape along both sides of the 4.5” score line.  Tape each piece to the opposite side.

Corner round the edges of the front flap if you wish.  Decorate with various

 embellishments from the collection and it’s ready for giving!

2015 is ticking down and 2016 is quickly approaching!

I crafted this very cute desktop calendar with the "So Fancy" Collection from

I started with a set of six kraft tags that measure 3.75" X 5.5", the "So Fancy" SN@P Cards, various patterned papers and embellishments from the collection and a free printable calendar that I found here.

To begin, I cut the patterned paper down to 3.5" X 4.5" and corner rounded them at the bottom so that they matched the kraft tags.  Next, one of the 3X4 SN@P cards were added with foam adhesive tape.  The calendar was cut down to size, glued in place and then each month was embellished with various pretties!

Use a collection of “The Wild Life” Designer Dies and Stamps by

to create a custom garland for a themed party or to glam up a camper!

 I started with patterned papers and the “Into the Woods” and “Canoe” Die Sets

 and “Happy Camper” Die Set & Stamp Combo.  I used the “sign” die as a

 background for the tree motif.

 After die-cutting the canoe and paddle, I stamped the “At the lake” image

 using a Aegean Blue and Garden Grass Chalk Inks.  The top portion was inked 

green and then the blue was added and blended into the green before stamping onto

 one of the Neutrals papers.  The image was then die-cut and the canoe glued to the front.

Looks darling strung across a cabinet or window!
