Christmas Table

   Hello everyone, today I will be sharing Christmas project since it is Christmas in July. Today I will be sharing how-to create simple place setting cards.

   Step 1. Fold cardstock in half. Tape the die the cardstock making sure the top of the die overhang the fold. Run it through the die cutter, this will create the card base. 

    Step 2. Die-cut next smaller size in the nesting die set.  Also, at this time die cut the Sizzix Tim Holtz Funky Floral #3  flower. For the flower center, I used a sequin. Adhere everything to the place card. 

 Step 3. Type names on cardstock, trim strips, and tuck it under the flower. To make the cards stand up straight just trim off the bottom to create a flat edge.

Stamping with Die Cuts

   It is Friday, May 22, 2020, for those who need the reminder. Today, I will be sharing with you how to create stamps with your dies. 

   All you need is some thin craft foam to create these foam stamps. I used these fun party icons by Frantic Stamper.

   With the foam die cuts, I attached them to a stamping block with a repositionable adhesive. When stamping a word make sure the word is backwards on the stamping block. Treat these like normal stamps. 

   This "Make a Wish" die is amazing since creates is an edger die so that means all those letters stay attached to the bottom part of the cardstock. 

Here is the end result. A custom stamp pattern paper card using dies.

Dies R Us Planner Clips

  Hello everyone, Mandi here, from MJ's Kraze, Today, I will be sharing with you on how to use your dies in creating fun felt bookmarks. 

   

   The first step is to get some stiff felt. I found out this works better for intricate dies than the felt sheets. I am working with Jeanine's Art Classic Butterflies. I cut two of the outer outline die and one in the detail die. 

   With your favorite liquid fabric glue apply adhesive to one side of the die cut. Place a paperclip in on top of that. Apply to the out die cut and sandwich the pieces together. 

   Now onto gluing the detail piece. Here is a tip, spread the glue to the back with a toothpick. This is where you want to make sure you use a non-toxic glue since this will get on your fingers. Now, place it on top of paperclip sandwich.

    That is all it takes to create these fun bookmarks that work great in planners.

Lightbulb Moment

   Have you ever had that lightbulb moment in the middle of cleaning your crafty area that you just had to put it in motion before the mess is cleaned up? While that happened to me last week. I got this great idea of changing my stickers into die cuts. If you are like me, you always go to your die cut stash first when creating and completely forgetting about stickers. 

   I took 90% of my flat stickers and adhered them all to white cardstock, it filled about 10 sheets of 12x12 cardstock. I spent about three days fussy cutting them out. I found it very addicting so the time flew by. 

    I now have a large stash of die cuts. I am so happy about this. However, I did find a downside in doing this, I outgrew my original storage method of storing them in little Target $1 pails. I spent the weekend sorting them and working on the storage problem. I will share in my next post of the solution.
