Memory Book

Sorry it has taken so long for a posting.  Living with parents to take care of them does take a lot of time.

Currie Churchill made this Memories book from some of our new stamps that we have added to the Crackerbox Palace stamps.

She used a Sizzix die that is from Tim Holtz and layered it on script printed paper.

The book itself is cut from another Sizzix die. She covered card board with kraft paper and then cut it out.  She stamped our new watch stamp as well as one of Crackerbox's background stamp.

Currie added her own lines with a light brown marker.

The airplane is a Crackerbox Palace rubber stamp she stamped and cut out.  She then added the cute pictures of the kids.

Again, she drew her own lines to write on.  The 'Woo Hoo'  is one of Crackerbox's stamps and the 'thumbs up' is one of the new ones. She then cut out some more great family pictures.

The girls were so happy to see Stitch.

This smaller memory book is so much fun for the girls to have, just their size.  'You Rock' is one of Crackerbox's stamps and the new one is the coffee stamp.

I hope you enjoyed the idea of the memory book that Currie did.

Tri-fold Nature Card

I know this says Happy Easter, but it could say anything or you could just have the image on the front without any words.

I know I am a little behind in posting the Easter cards, I am sorry but I have been staying with my folks and taking care of them so I am not at home with my software and things. It took me days to figure out what I can use on their computer to get my images to post.

I like the job that Currie did on this card, I think you will too.

The stamps she used are Crackerbox Palace stamps also Stampscapes stamps. On all of the panels, she used Stampscape stamps for the background, and the other images are Crackerbox Palace stamps.

Currie stamped the trees and grasses with green ink and the rest of  Stampscapes with brown ink.

The front of the card on the right side with brown ink is one of Crackerbox's stamps, and the water area is chalked. The bunny was stamped and cut out. The image is mounted on printed paper and the edges were distressed.

The whole card is 11 x 5 1/4.

Scored at 3 3/4 and 7 1/2.

The panel that is 3 3/4, is the front of the card. The last panel will be 3 1/4 to be able to fold into the card.

The inside panels are stamped on a light card stock that is 4 1/2 x 10 1/4.  After the image is stamped, cut the inside panels at 3 1/2 and 7 inches. the 1st and 2nd panel will be 3 1/2 but the last panel will be 3 1/4. When you see the card open you can not tell that each panel is not the same.

Use a corner rounder punch on each corner and mount the panels.

The frame on the middle panel is our barbwire frame stamp used with orange ink.

The 4th panel (the one with the chicks) is on the back of the 3rd panel, that is also 4 1/4 x 3 1/4. The chicks are stamped and cut out.

Maybe change the images a little and you would have a great guy card for birthday or Father's day.

Sew a Tree

Currie made this card, and I know this says Easter, but you could use this idea at any time this spring and summer.

You can draw a tree or use a stencil. Poke holes on the outline.

Currie used variegated embroidery thread for the green leaves and brown for the trunk of the tree.

She stamped and colored the chick, bunny and grass around the tree.

Mount on brown card stock and then mounted on lighter brown and stamp a saying at the bottom. Finally mount on a card made with kraft card stock.

Jelly Bean Tag

Isn't this a great tag that Currie made?

You can cut a tag out of light tan or a file folder.

Punch a small circle and glue it where the hole will go.

Stamp the outline jelly bean all over tag and color. I am not sure if you can see that Currie used Smooch on the highlights of the jelly beans.

Stamp a couple of background stamps to add interest.

Stamp Happy Easter with blue ink, cut out and use ink to distress around the edges and glue to tag.

Stamp frame, color around the edge and cut out. Stamp Spring in the center.

Stamp bunny, color and cut out and add to tag.

Stamp saying on colored paper, cut out and glue to Tim Holtz Fragments.

Cut burlap a little bigger than tag and fray edges and glue to tag.

Punch hole with Crop-a-dile, put pink ribbon through the hole and add safety pin.

I think this would even make a cute door hanger!

Happy Easter !!

Who doesn't Want the Easter Bunny?

Currie stamped the word 'Wanted' on white card stock, cut it out and mounted it on black then to the poster.

I think anyone would find this card humorous for Easter.
