Framelits - Packaging Tutorial

ETA : I used the 8.5 X 11 sheets Avery Magnet Sheets that you could put through a printer.

I needed a way to see my framelits in the packaging from SU, without having to lift them out of the paper all the time. Also, I hate peeling it off that tape. I decided to package it the same way I did my Nestabilities when I got them {oh so long ago}.

Here is the finished product :

You can see everything, right there, and it is so easy to get them out!! Here is how I put it all together.

First, I measured the white layer that they came on, and then I cut the magnetic sheet to that size. **Each one is a different size, so measure each one !!** Then peel off the dies, so that you can put them on the magnetic sheet when you are ready. KEEP THAT CARDBOARD PIECE !

Now, add glue to the back of the magnetic sheet, and glue it to the sideof the cardboard piece that has the tape on it. This gives strength to hold them all, and not be flimsy. Then I also glue on the english instructions to the back of the cardboard piece.

All that is left is to add the the framelits on top and to slide it back into the package it came in! Done deal, and now you can see exactly what you need. I saw some folks doing this on Pinterest, as well, so I thought you may want to know how to do it. Hope this helps you all, have fun and happy stamping !!

Boys Getting Big

You have also been asking for pictures of the boys. Here they are this past summer, learning how to ride horses. They love it, and now they want some horses!! I think with 2 dogs, a cat, and 5 fish, we have enough animals for a bit. Lol.

They are very happy being here {they do miss the family though}. We do a lot of camping, quadding, and now that it is winter, snowmobiling, driveway hockey.

Well, I am off for the day. Have fun and happy stamping !!

Poinsettia Punch

I have wanted to try and make a poinsettia on my own for quite some time. I finally went through all my punches to find the best one to help me out - Build A Blossom !

Simple, but it lets the flower stand out, which is what I want ... since I went through all that work to make it ... LOL. I used 10 of the longer narrower petals and 5 of the same petal but smaller with Cherry Cobbler CS. After scoring the center line and gluing them all together, I then added a 1/2 circle on top and placed the pearls.

I used Gumball Green for the accent color CS and ribbon, since I wanted a more traditional feel. The simple script sentiment finishes it off perfectly. I also embossed around the edge of the white layer for some added texture.

Hope you like it, have fun and happy stamping!!
