One Sheet with Creative Worship Stamps~

Hi there! 
Today I'm sharing my last project as guest designer
for Creative Worship Stamps.  I have called my blog post
One Sheet because that is all I used to create 16 projects.
So let me explain~

Looks hard but it isn't!!
1. Pick out ink.  I used Distress Oxide/ Chipped Sapphire, Stormy Sky,
Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness and Peeled Paint.  Add ink (watered
down) to heavy mixed media cardstock. Heat dry after each color.
2. Add in stamps.  Color in line stamps (leaf) for example.
3. Add stencil. Leaf Fronds with Chipped Sapphire Distress 
Oxide ink.
4. Cut into 3"x3" squares.  You have 16 projects waiting to be 
created :)

Post-it-Note covers were created using eight of the 3"x3"
squares.  
1. Kraft cardstock cover size 3 1/2"x7 1/4". Score in middle.
2. Color mat size is 3 1/4"x3 1/4". Adhere to front.
3. Add mixed media square to color mat.
4. Add twine, button and sentiment from the Typed Thoughts set.
5. Using the Going Postal set a space is created for "made by".

Will make great gifts!!

The last eight mixed media squares were made into "Thank You"
tags.  I always need these!!!
1. Kraft tag base is 3 1/2"x3 1/2".  Color mat is 3 1/4"x3 1/4".
Adhere mixed media square to color mat.
2. Add top hole with a punch and then add twine.
3. Add buttons and sentiment to all eight tags.
4. Stamp back for "made by" space.

Post-It-Note ideas with Blue Knight Stamps Mixed Media Products~

Hi there!!!
Today I'm sharing some crafty ideas for
Post-It-Holders.  These are great for an office
friend gift or stocking stuffers.  I'm using my
new Mixed Media products by Blue Knight Stamps.

I was pretty excited when I found the craft color Post-It-Notes on
Amazon, so now you know where my inspiration came from.  I didn't
keep track of measurements, I just created.  Once you get one done
then the measurements are worked out. 
1. L top corner ~ I covered a library card holder with the NEW
Mixed Media Designer paper then stamped it with the
Dictionary BG stamp. I added the Mixed Media Numbers, 
BG Branches and the Reverse Sentiment (Just a Note), to the front.
Tied with home spun fabric and added a button.
2. R top corner ~ I created a folder using craft cardstock and scored
in the middle (for the Post-It-Note pad) to sit. The cover is a 2 3/4" square.
I added a scalloped border to the bottom of the Mixed Media Designer
paper and stamped with the BG Branches and Reverse Sentiments. Twine 
and a button were added.
3. L bottom ~ This one is really easy!  Just cover a coaster or chipboard
with Mixed Media Designer paper, stamp with the Mixed Media Numbers
set and the Reverse Sentiments.  Add a clip and tie with homespun and
a button to the top of the coaster. 
4. R bottom ~ This one is the same as the folder design (on top).
 Supplies are the same.  I sewed homespun fabric, antique trim
and an antique button, on the cover, for a vintage look. 

Some other examples.  These are really fun to create.
The Mixed Media products by Blue Knight Stamps
make them really cute :):) I packaged them in clear bags
and will share with friends.

Easy and Quick Gifts~

Hi guys!!

A quick Christmas gift post.  These are perfect for girl friends and

 all other friends:)  I had a little buddy help with this project.

  He is really good too~

He is always eager to help me with assembly work~ 

Our projects were making coater clip type notebooks and the long notebooks

 for the ladies, at the facility, my mom is at.

These are coasters covered in pretty Christmas paper with a post-a-note pad attached.

It is all held together with a decorated cloths pin.  

Add twine and some rhinestones for a festive look.  I packaged them in clear bags.

Another easy project! These require the legal size note pads to be cut in thirds. 

 Most of the time the office store will have the cutter to that.  

You will be charged a small fee.  Not bad at all and they are really cute decorated!!

Cover the back of the notepad with pattern paper.  Use strong adhesive either

 tape or wet glue.  Cut a flap to go over the top.  Decorate using stickers or stamps.

All packaged up to send !! They don't take long at all 

especially when you have a cute helper.

Try It Tuesday~bringing back an oldie but goody!

Hi guys!!

I brought back an oldie but goody for 

Try It Tuesday.

We did these coaster note pads with the girls youth group at church.

They really enjoyed creating them.

They had an opportunity to use stamps and make a fun project too.

These are easy to make and really are useful and I love that!!!

Who doesn't love something cute sitting on their desk~

Cover the coaster with pattern paper.  The size is a 4" x 4".  Cover the clip with a 2" x 1" 

piece of pattern paper. Add trim to the clip. Stamp a sentiment for the

 bottom, under the post -it note pad and adhere.  That is pretty much it~ easy!!!
