Create a Personalized DVD Sleeve!

It's a DVD/CD SLEEVE ! 
Excellent DIY Project - for my Stampin' Up! Friends or YOU if you are new to rubberstamping and or die-cutting!  Excellent Gift Idea - Storage Solutions - FUN TIME! 


I have a student in the family who has some educational DVDs which come in flimsy paper covers and sometimes un-attractive cases. So....I thought it would be a cool project to make some DVD sleeves that they can leave out on their desk and maybe they'll even be happy when they look at their homework - ok, I can dream!


Now you can also make your own sleeves for home-made DVDs .....or how about these for Weddings?  Any gift involving a DVD or CD would certainly benefit from this project - so here is how we do it!!!!

INSTRUCTIONS

Supplies:  cardstock 8.5x11   cardstock scraps   pattern/designer paper 
punch of choice ( here we use Beautiful Butterflies Big SHot Die and 1-3/4 in. and 1/2 in. Circle Punches)
adhesive

SLEEVE:  CUT your cardstock for the sleeve at 5.5 x 10 inches
SCORE in the middle at 5 inch mark - short side
TURN the cardstock 1/4 turn and SCORE 1/4 in along both long sides
TRIM OFF the 1/4 border to the 5 inch mark on one half, both sides.
FOLD and SCORE the remaining 1/4 in "tabs" on the opposite side toward center
FOLD at the 5 inch mark (half-way) and adhere the folded 1/4 in tabs to the opposite side. 
PUNCH 1/2 circles with your large punch - do one side, and then the other if cardstock is thick (can do this step ahead of time before gluing together as well). 
Decorate your sleeve! 




all views of cardstock cut, scored and folding....5-1/2 x 10 inch, folded in half at the 5 inch mark.
Score the long sides a 1/4 inch and cut off one pair to the half-way mark, leaving the other pair as tabs to glue the sleeve together (allows for room to slide the DVD/CD in and out)


Folded and Glued!   Now Decorate it!
ideA+s = 
-  a large Monogram Initial (Sans Serif Die Set), with a Woodgrain background with our large STAMPIN' UP! Background Stamps- great for a guy! Or make it feminine with ribbon tied to the initial and a delicate print from the selection of Background Stamps! 
- emboss the paper before you start using one of our Textured Impressions Folders!
- add a Chipboard Accent

Fun with Tags!

That is exactly what I had with this tag.....amongst all the oodles of cards I am making for a craft fair coming up, I am taking breaks by making projects that use all kinds of different elements.  Sort of like a cardstock 'stew', lol.                                                          Cute  Gift Tag or Notecard TAG BASE  1. First, I started with a small piece of cardstock of 3 x 6 inches, folded to create a square 3 x 3 inch tag. 2.  I layered a BAJA BREEZE cardstock square on top of the tag - I used my SCALLOP TRIM CORNER PUNCH to create the pretty corners! 3. To rev it up a bit, I glittered the bottom of the tag with some of Dazzling Diamonds. TAG DECORATION 4. I stamped  my lil' WALRUS  on a punched out '1-3/4 in.' Circle  of Whisper White cardstock  - then while I "maske...

Beautiful Birthday Card from my Daughter

I was ' speechless ' on my birthday when my daughter presented me with her own hand-made card for me! Reason is that when we got up that morning we were in each other's company and yet somehow she managed to sneak off into my craft room and pull this together without me knowing it - - I was totally caught off guard, lol -- and loved it!!! She has always impressed me with her creativity because she doesn't do hand-craft items very often - she is more of an 'online creator' - I have her to thank for all my web banners and general blog technical help :) I was happy to see the cute butterfly resting on the branch, that is something I would not of thought of! Anyways, it was a lovely gesture and a thoughtful card. Beverly SUPPLIES LIST  Stampin' Up!   Eastern Bloom and Kindred Spirit stamp sets. Bella Rose  Designer Paper Pink Pirouette cardstock.

Shabby Chic Cookie Cutter Card

Hey everyone!   Today I am blogging about the card I made in the middle of the night, lol.  It started with the idea that I wanted to use the bear from Stampin' Up!'s Cookie Cutter bundle set {stamp and punch}.  My intended recipient loves bears and I was dying to do a shabby chic style card, so voila!  Some details: I dyed a piece of white satin ribbon using ink. Ink refills {liquids} are so helpful to create co-ordinating materials for your projects. Soft sponging of paler colours help to frame your main more colourful image. Add more details by layering accents such as my poinsettias and label.   Here is one of the  embossing powders from the Stampendous Fran-tage line called ' Shabby White '. See how bubbly and glittery it is?   There it is - I love doing soft colours paired with white for pretty styled christmas cards!!!  Hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable holiday season this year, cheers!
