Celebrate Curtain Fold Card for club

This week is standardized testing week at our house so all of the phones are busy so that teens can participate in the teleconference call for the testing.  That being said, please forgive my original photo.  My daughter was scandalized at the quality but I had to use my tablet for the pic.  I had to beg for the use of the bonus room because all of my goodies are in here!  LOL! 

I got my directions here.

You're a Gem Card Holder

Hello to everyone!  Julie and I thought that you might enjoy this neat tutorial by Stampin' Up's Carrie Cudney.  This video features the Simply Scored, Edgelits, Bordering on Romance stamp set, and many of the new products in the Occasions mini catalog. This project is actually a clever card holder so I am not sure why the sample she showed at the end is the photo appearing...lol

Enjoy!

Tea Light box with Fun Flowers Die

 1.  Score the 5x6 box cover at 5/8", 2 1/4", 2 7/8", & 4 1/2". Your score lines should be 6" long.

 2.  Score the 3 3/4 x 8 box.  The long score lines are scored at 1/2, 1 1/8, 2 5/8, 3 1/4".  The short lines are scored at 1/2, 1 1/8, 7 1/8, 7 3/4".

 3.  Cut out the corners as shown to make the flaps.  Add sticky strip according to picture below.

 4.  Fold over flaps to create box.

 5.  Adhere sticky strip to one end (widest end) and wrap the lid around the box.  Peel back off sticky strip and press.  Stamp Mixed Flowers stamp with Wisteria Wonder on a 1 1/2 x 5 1/2" strip; mount on lid.

 6.  Sponge all three flowers and two centers with Wisteria Wonder.  Curl edges with a bone folder and then stack flowers with adhesive.  Stack centers and adhere with an In Color brad.  Adhere centers to flowers with a dimensional. 

 7.  Stamp flowers on tissue paper and then lightly adhere corners (not flowers) to scrap paper.  Punch out the flowers with a circle punch.  Punch a small hole in the center for the wick of the tea light.  You MUST punch with the scrap paper behind the tissue paper or it won't work.

 8.  Insert the wick through the small hole and ensure that the wick is standing up so it won't melt onto the candle.  Heat the candle until the tissue paper is "hidden" under the wax and the wax looks wet.

Happy Valentine' Day

Happy Valentine's Day! 

This jar was another project that we made at Leadership (or were supposed to make but ran out of time...lol!)

The card below is from the Sweet Shop Suite and is super yummy looking.  If you smell carefully you can tell that it is embossed with the new scented embossing powder...lol!

This clever box was made with the new diagonal plate for the Simply Scored.  The cute "lollipop" on the top is also made with the Simply Scored.  I can hardly wait to pre-order the new plate...anticipation!!!
