February Projects

My craft room is filling up with projects and all the wonderful things that are needed to make projects.  I swear the walls are expanding lol.

Here are some of the things I've made recently and I'm holding class on these projects at Michael's in Lee's Summit, Missouri.

This is a 3x4 Pocket Mini Album that will hold all those Ephemera cards that we all have been collecting as well as the small wallet size photos or little journaling cards.  This would make a great little gift for someone.

These are super simple to make with Spellbinder dies in a manual die cutting machine like a Grand Calibur or a Cuddlebug.  The Heart, Doily and oval emblem were made with the Cricut Explore.

The February Scrapbook page layout.

Super cute Tea Box Dispenser.

Small Tote filled with little Valentine's Day cards.  These cards are approximately 3 1/2 x 4 inches, and perfect size for a school Valentine's.

The Purse and Card

     With my family on the webcam, I made this really cute paper purse with 4 matching note cards.  I followed a tutorial that I found on you tube (Here is the link) and I made it for my niece Tessa's birthday but it will now be saved and given at Christmas LOL - facepalm.  I thought the cards turned out really well considering this is my second attempt at them.  I learned a valuable lesson regarding tutorials - it pays to actually LISTEN to them hahaha.  I made the first set of cards, complete with handmade matching envelopes, at the size of 4x6 and when I went to place them inside the purse guess what? They didn't fit! ummmmm ok, I went back to the video to make sure that It wasn't a mistake that I made and sure enough it was.  The video tutorial clearly states 4x5 not 4x6 cards, hence the 2nd set of cards lol.  
     I did at least make the Birthday card for the correct niece, Aaliyah and I hope that she loves it.  I had a lot of fun making the owl die cut on the front.  The owl is from the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge and the envelopes for the cards in the purse is from the Cricut Wildcard cartridge.
