InspireINK September Blog Hop:Sketch Challenge.

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator


I am always excited about the monthly InspireINK Blog Hop. I almost forgot this month due to the team retreat! This month it is a sketch challenge.



I decided not to make a card but instead use this as a scrapbook layout. I recently make a mini album and have yet to do the photo mats so when I saw this I thought it would be perfect for one of the photo mat layouts.

Measurements

  • The mat size is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" so 2 can be cut from a standard sheet of card stock.
  • I used the Circle Tab Punch to create a tab at the top.
  • I cut the DSP 3" x 5"
  • I used a strip of Whisper White 5 1/4" x 3/4"
  • I cut a heart from the Robbon of Hope Die set using Calypso Coral Card Stock

Time for some close ups

I am so pleased to have started this scrapbook, I think I may continue now using sketch challenges as this is a good way to get inspiration. With these photo mats being small it is easier to plan them. Well thats the plan anyway!

If you pop back tomorrow there will be a link to the video tutorial for this project.

Thank you

Craft Fair Gift Box for Narrow Note Cards Using Dashing Along DSP

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator


Thank you for returning today to see the gift box I made for the notecards I shared on Tuesday. I hope you liked the project and will give it a go. If you do I would love to see what you have made. I have a Facebook group which you can join to share your projects with me, they do not have to be my projects, I love to see what people are making and share inspiration. It is a small but growing group and would love to see more people sharing the crafty love. 


Todays project is the sweet little gift box that holds the narrow notecards, of course you could just make the gift box for something else!

Craft Fair Idea: Narrow Note Cards & Box Using Dashing Along DSP

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator


I am delighted you have joined me today for this project. You have until Saturday 30th September to get the Dashing Along DSP from Stampin' Up! absolutely FREE. This Designer Series Paper is Free with order of £200 or more, that is on top of the usual Stampin' Rewards you normally get. I have showcased the paper in a previous blog. 


Today I am showing how the paper can be used for non Christmas Projects so you can see the versatility of the Paper. I love it :-)

I have made 4 notecards and a matching box (separate tutorial for the box) I think this would be great for craft fairs or make a lovely gift.

Narrow Note Cards Using Dashing Along DSP: Great For Craft Fairs Nigezza Creates

Measurements and Materials


Product List
  • Whisper White Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes
    • These are great little notecards that come in packs of 20
    • Note card size 6.4cm x 11.4cm

    • Cut another at 1/2" so you have 4" x 1/2" and 4" x 1 1/2"
    • Cut the last one diagonally from corner to corner
    • You now have your sections to decorate the cards
  • Cherry Cobbler A4 Card Stock
    • Used for matting
    • I made the mats 1/8" wider and taller than the DSP so there was a very small border
    • I did not mat all the DSP, see pictures for guidance

Video Tutorial


I have had to speed up section because the camera kept changing how it was filming midway through, so it went randomly into slow motion. I have edited it so it makes sense, oh the joys of technology! lol!
