Blogging Friends Blog Hop - Anything But a Card

Blogging Friends Blog Hop - Anything But a Card

• Friday 6 November 2020

Welcome to the Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  This month's theme is "Anything But A Card" and I decided to Heartwarming Hugs Product Suite along with the Rectangle Tins from the Stampin' Up! August to December Mini Catalogue.  Today you will "hop" with us and check out the amazing projects created by these very talented demonstrators.

You are currently visiting Melva Peters from British Columbia, Canada. 

I created a Mini Album in a Rectangle Tin for my project.  I think this would make a great memory of the holiday season or a great gift.  I hope you like it.

Instructions

1. Cut Whisper White Cardstock 11 7/8" x 3 3/4"
2. Score at 2 3/8", 4 3/4", 7 1/8" and 9 1/2"
3. Fold accordion style and use bone folder to burnish creases.
4. Use the Trio punch to round corners - you can fold on the score lines and punch out 2 edges at once.  Repeat until all corners have been rounded.
5. Cut 6 pieces of Designer Series Paper 2 1/4" x 3 5/8".  Round corners and and adhere to the middle, centre and end panels on each side of album using Stampin' Seal.
6. Cut Whisper White cardstock 2 1/4" x 2".  Round corners.
7. Adhere to panels without Designer Series Paper.  See tip in video on how to apply Stampin' Seal using your Silicone Mat.  You only want a sliver of the Stampin' Seal on the cardstock and then double over.
8. Decorate Whisper White pockets using Real Red Ink and Old Olive Ink.
9. Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" and round corners.
10. Cut Whisper White cardstock 2 3/8" x 2" and round corners.
11. Decorate using Real Red ink and Old Olive ink.  Adhere to 1 piece of Designer Series Paper using same technique as above.
12. Adhere to the inside of the Rectangle Tin using Stampin' Seal.
13. Adhere the other piece of Designer Series Paper to the back of the Rectangle Tin.
14. Cut Real Red cardstock 2 1/2" x 3 7/8" and round corners
15. Cut Designer Series Paper 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" and round corners.  Adhere to the Real Red cardstock.
16. Adhere to the lid of the Rectangle Tin using Stampin' Seal.
17. Cut 20" of ribbon and wrap around tin and tie a bow on top right.
18. Decorate with a stamped image.
