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!

YNS Challenge #3 YNSC3

Hi folks, Having fun this week playing with my fav summer theme of sea creatures! And to justify it even more, I am playing along with YOUR NEXT STAMP's CHALLENGE #3 "Anything Goes"! You can see their challenge details HERE ! Deadline is Weds. midnight. I already was toying with ideas involving 3D projects lately and wanted to do something within a frame, and so I put two'n'two together and here is my entry....my " Mermaids Playing in the Sun Shadow Box ". The frame was one I had for awhile, maybe two years? And my stamps from Your Next Stamp are the adorable mermaid set, Happy Birthday Mermaid which I acquired about two years ago also! Coincidence - I think not! LOL! Later I plan to embellish this even more once I find my darn box of tiny shells! Maybe some charms? Heck who knows! :) I am going to write up a more detailed post about creating this by the week-end, so return here if you care for that. Tomorrow I am going to be trainin...

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.

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...
