Carousel Note Purse Cottage Rose

This cute purse was made by my former downline and great customer, Ingrid McClendon. She scoped the purse that I made using the Afternoon Tea paper, and used the papers from the Cottage Rose SS kit.

The soft colors accented by the Chocolate Chip makes a lovely album and cute baby gift or wedding gift.....

Stationery Box of cards

I got a request for the measurements for the Stationery box From Andrea C - aka "irish-andie"

To Make the box,

Cut your cardstock 7" x 12"

Measure using the Scor-Pal or Fiskars Scoring blade with the 12" side to (horizontally)

2", 2 1/2", 7", 7 1/2"

(Your first section will be 2", then you will have a 1/2 " section, then 4 1/2", 1/2 section, then 4 1/2" section. ) See below

Now, turn your cardstock to the 7" side at the top horizontally, and score 1/2 on either side.

Cut triangles at the flap areas to make the box close together on the sides, and it leaves room for ease.

In the top section (2" side) punch a hole 1" from the edge, 3" from the side

Punch the hole in this section, approx 2 1/2 " down from the edge, and in the center (3 1/2")from the side. This is the 4 1/2 " section.

Adhere tape to the side flap to assemble the box. USE STICKY tape or some tape that will adhere well. MonoAdhesive (or SNAIL) is not advised because it will lose it's stickiness after a short time or in humid weather.

Voila! All done!

Blender Pen Refill Recipe

Blender Pen Refill Recipe
from Stampin Art

1 oz. glycerin
2 oz. distilled water
3/4 teaspoon rubbing alcohol
OR
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons glycerin
5 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol


Step 1:

Either buy the blender refill or make one of the two recipes above. A little goes a very long way.

Step 2:

Gently pull the tips out of the pen (both ends). Some people use tweezers. I have no problem just grabbing it with my fingers. If you do use tweezers, be very careful. You don't want to mar the tip.

Step 3:

Soak the tips in the fluid (step 1). Some say to soak them overnight, others say for a few hours. It may depend on how dry they are.

Step 4:

Gently (always gently with these tips) push one tip back into the marker. Now place a few drops of the fluid into the pen. You have to be very careful here as the marker is so narrow, large drops won't make it in. You need to use an eye-dropper or something similiar to get the drops in.

Step 5:

Gently put the other tip back in and you're read to go.

Explosion card fold - 8 1/2 x 11

Finally, the instructions as to how to fold the explosion sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 in the Graduation Pop up Card.

It is the same basic way to fold a square piece, but with a slight twist since this is NOT square. It will fit in a A2 Card.
