Papercraft Haven and More

Products I used on the projects this past week  I use a lot of different products on the things I make - and yet, I end up using the same things over and over at times!  You will have your favorite "go-to's" when you create, just don't forget to look outside the box as well!!!  Things like floss and ribbon, used for other things, can be used with your paper crafts as well!!!  Let's get started! Products Die cuts The die cuts I have right now, I have used for 18+ years that I can remember!  It was the best investment instead of cutting the shapes out by a template!  That is great and cost effective if you are just starting, but if you are going further, you need access to a good die cut machine!  I personally use Sizzix and Cricut, I will have reviews for both of them coming up!  Make sure you check back next month for those!  Best thing with the die cuts, you can use them over and over with different papers and themes, an...

Using Corner Punches For Tags With today's idea, I was playing around with my supplies, needing to do a few sympathy cards..... and this is what I ended up with!!!  I will share the finished idea tomorrow, but the tags can be done for various themes and sayings, so it deserves a post all it's own!!!  I have a lot of supplies I have had for over 20 years, and some more like 25+ years that I still use to this day!!!!!  This is one thing I have used over and over again, only different ways!  It makes the cost for that supply, actually save you money in the long run, every time you use it on a project!!!!  Sometimes, it pays you to buy it the more you use it!!! Supplies needed: Corner Punches Cardstock Stamps Ink pads Paper trimmer  Directions: Decide what type of a tag you want to create.   Find the stamps you want to use. Pick out the ink pad that will match your cardstock. Stamp your saying giving you more than enough room...

Mom's Birthday Present This is one of those special projects, created for my mom's birthday!!!  I wasn't too sure what to do for her this year, it was her first birthday since being back home... gone for 12 years!!!!   I wanted this present to be special and fun at the same time!!!!! Supplies used: Coordinating cardstock and papers (I used 6) Sizzix die cuts, I used balloon and present for this example Hot glue Pop dots Twine for balloon strings  Recycled drink holder from a fast food restaurant (85) Directions: Start by die cutting the shapes you are going to use for your creation!  I ended up doing way more shapes than I needed to for this project!  However, it will help me make a few cards to go in my stash!!! Add the twine to the balloons, set aside for the moment!!! If you have presents, get them put together!  If you don't have a die cut present shape, create your own presents with scrap paper and a bow! Start to...

I remember sitting one day with my daughter, we were talking about my scrapbooks!  She stated the little albums were easier to learn on - but also great for more pictures than what would fit on a traditional scrapbook page!  I took that to heart, and started making more smaller albums - and I really liked to do them!  I have 2 styles of mini albums 6 x 6 sized - 10 and 20 pages!  The albums shown here are 10 inside pages - full of extra features just for you!  Each album is one of a kind - no two will EVER be alike, even IF I use the same supplies for each!   Right now - I have 2 albums ready to go, once paid through PayPal (or cash given if you live locally) - album will be in mail!  Free gift with each purchase!!!   Flowered striped album (pictured above) - piece in the front lifts up, to allow for journaling or photos!  Inside has 10 pages ready to add even more journaling and photos to!  7 pages for photos - 3 pages with a...
