PHOTO BOXES

 

Need a quick gift?  These photo boxes are fast to make and I usually make a few extra ones "just in case."  So convenient to store your photo's and separate them without taking up so much of your storage space.   I am all for keeping photo's on your phone and hard drive but you CAN'T SCRAPBOOK THEM that way!  I still like to print out several of my photo's and put into the above type box.  Below is another one I made.  Great to add charms, buttons and ribbons etc. 

 

I cut these using my Gazelle and just taped the sides and you decorate accordingly.  Since  I was thinking photo's...   I made this box for my daughter.  She can store the boxes or whatever she wishes inside!

CARDSTOCK HOUSE - HOME DECOR

                                                                          

I made this decoration using heavy weight cardstock, rhinestones and print n cut feature on my Gazelle.  I used an open box pattern from my 3d shapes within the bluebook from my Funtime software.  Funtime software is included with the purchase of your Gazelle and may I add, the most recent version.  I made my own top using cardstock and vellum paper.  I also designed the lattice using my Funtime software.  Below is a photo of the top.



I used the Christmas Mouse by Lisa Schmidt , Lamp Post and Singing Dog by Karen Taglia , Bk Christmas Tree   ALL of the above are print and cuts using my Gazelle. I just freshened them up a little using my Copic markers.


The cute Reindeer Girl is Marci by LaLaLand Crafts. I colored her previously and scanned into my software to reduce the image to 1.5 inches! I used a battery powered candle light for inside my project. These are fun to make and my Gazelle did all the work involved! Below is the finished project which I now have displayed in my living room for the holidays. Judy
 

Chalkboard Vinyl Craft Box

                          


Some projects are just too much fun some days than others.  This is one of those projects!  My almost 5 year old Grandson (Cash) loves to craft and I made this for him as a gift.  I used a 10 inch by 8 inch cigar box and covered it with cardstock. 
The cardstock I used is heavy 100 wgt already coated.  I cut my top, sides, strips, tag, title and monkey using my Gazelle.  I used the BK Monkey  by Lisa Smitdh.  The knobs are from a local hardware store.
                             

Now to the inside. I used the heavy wgt chalkboard vinyl.

                                         

    Framed around it in ribbon and done!  I made the chalk case and little goodie bag with his picture, using the print and cut feature in my Funtime software.  I am sure Cash will cherish this for years.
        

PEACE and GOODWILL Card

                                                                    

This is a print and cut combo card. I used the newly released Pinecones file. I made the inside frame by designing the layout and printing/cutting with my Gazelle. This file includes a SVG, jpg, WPC, GSD, AI.

After cutting my print and cut, I added a little more color with my Copic markers. Chalked the edges, matted it to the background frame and added the metal flourish.

PRINCESS CHALKBOARD

This is something I made for my granddaughter "Presley". She loves to write!  The vinyl chalkboard Princess Mirror. Pattern available at www.scrapcuts.com
  This post originally was published last Christmas but we get so many requests for this, I decided to post again.  

 

What Princess ever leaves her home without a mirror? I made this 2 sided chalkboard mirror for her to have when she is not at home. I cut this using .20 chipboard and covered with my cardstock. The solid side of her mirror is made using BK glitter cardstock. My settings used for my Gazelle were: 3 force and 25 knife offset. 1 pass!! In the handle of my mirror, I added 2 jumbo paper clips to give it some additional strength. I used 2 way adhesive tape to apply the clips. Below some other variations I made.  Enjoy!





The one above was for her 30 year old Mother. (my Daughter)  Never to old I guess?

REINDEER GIFT BAG

                                                  
   Another fast, fun and easy project for the Holidays!  I cut with my Gazelle,  a bag 5.5 inches by 3.5 inches, cut the Bosskut Reindeer and attached it to the front of the bag.  You have many bag and box free designs in your Funtime software under shapes 3-D in the blue book.  I then stamped my Christmas sentiment and added ribbon.
 Now ready for a holiday gift, treats or coal ?     

LAYOUT - I BELIEVE

What can I say about making this page but fun, fun, and more fun!
The Angel is a LaLaLand stamp 
The paper I used is BoBunny "Walking in a White Wonderland" and I loved using these colors!

Happy Thanksgiving Card

 

   The pinecone design has been released this week!
  A basic 4.5 by 5.5 pattern was used for the card.  I used my Gazelle pen feature with my glue pen inserted to write the title on my card.  My favorite glue pen to use is the Quickie Glue. I let my machine write on my card, then put micro glitter on it. I am a fan of Ritz Glitter and the burnish technique. I cut the delicate pinecone with basic cardstock and then colored in some highlights. 
   So I have my card ready, grandchildren's surprise from Grandma treat boxes, turkey napkin holder, and cupcake wrappers done for Thanksgiving. Time to start cooking??? I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of love, family and blessings!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Birthday Samantha !!

 

 It seems lately, I am rushing to get family cards finished in time to give?? So today I decided my grand-daughter Samantha would have her card made by Grandma! Since I started scrapbooking a few years ago, my family now takes the time to have my grandchildren make me cards. What a treasure to receive and show them later in their lives.

This card is a side step card, which the pattern can be found easily by using Google. The beautiful Princess is another LaLaLand stamp. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope everyone has a great week! Check back often as we are getting ready to display Christmas projects I hope you will enjoy!

Give Thanks Fall Layout by Judy Stark

This layout was so much fun to make! So easy to get creative with the great Bo-Bunny Fall line of paper and LaLaLandCrafts . Pine Cones with branches designed by me.

The adorable Pilgram boy is a newly released LaLa Land stamp. 

  The "Give Thanks" title was made using my  Gazelle PEN feature. You don't need a special attachment to use this feature. Just remove blade and insert your pen or marker. I used a PrismaMarker which is quite large, but you can use a regular ball point pen if you choose. The pen feature is one of my favorite features on my Gazelle.
  I then cut the flower design from another sheet of cardstock and applied in the bottom left corner. I glued the bottom and left side. I now have a pocket to put a copy of the CD of photo's taken during the holidays.
I made journal cards and will add descriptions on them.

 

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope everyone has a great week!
