One of Two Classes for October 18th

Hello everyone!

Fall is here, and we start crafting like mad for the holidays to come. Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas!

Today I'm sharing with you three layouts for a class I'll be teaching on October 18th. At first I thought I would post one layout at a time, and I thought it would be easier for those taking the class if I posted all three together on one post. So this will be a longer post. But then I tend to do that anyway, and you are hopefully used to that by now. lol!

For these classes we will be using the Graphic 45 "Eerie Tales" collection. On the most part I tried to design these layouts so that they could be used for other than Halloween as well. So let's begin with the purple and orange layout.


All the purple you see are the photo mats for trimmed 4 x 6 and 3 x 4 photos. I intentionally used the measurements that are traditional pocket scrapbooking size. Some fussy cutting, cut-a-parts, stickers, and punch-outs from the cardstock die-cuts set are used for this layout. I also used some Star Dust Stickles here and there on the odd pumpkin, circle edge, and the first letter of the word or phrase.

So here are some of the detail photos (I used some for the teaser photos on my Paper Architecture With Sabrina FaceBook page). The first is the left side of the layout.


This is the right side of the layout.


These are the detail closeups-




Now let's have a look at the Green and Floral/Black layout.


This layout has space for 5 trimmed 4 x 6 photos. Three landscape and 2 portrait. There's a little bit of fussy cutting, some from the banners form the cardstock die cuts, tags from the cut-a-parts and cardstock stickers, and some ribbon accents. See the tags peaking above the portrait photo mats? Guess what?


They pull out! Let's look at the layout split up. First the left side...


...and now the right side.


And now for the details (again, some posted on the FaceBook page).





Now, for the third layout page, I thought we would take some of the left overs and create a pocket scrapbooking layout, with a bit of a twist. All the black that you will see are the spots for photos (or you could add more journaling if you wish).


Do you notice any sections and parts that are outside of the pocket? Let's check it out.


this first one shows that the "Scary" and "An Eerie Tale" are attached on the outside. The first with foam diemensionals, and second directly onto the plastic.


Here I've made a bundle of cardstock die cut charms. They are attached to the card that is on the outside. More details about this one to come.

And this third photo shows that the "Scary" and "Once Upon a Time" from the sticker sheet, are on the outside as well. This next photo will show you that some of these are attached directly to the card and on the plastic.


See the little black Velcro pieces that keep these folded cards closed? So what do you think of this idea? It adds more photos space and more journaling space too. All the gold sections are for journaling, but can write on black too with a white, gold or silver gel pen, or add more of the gold paper.

Well for those of you that are taking this class, these photos will help you with whatever you can't complete in class. For those of you not in this area, have fun with this inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by today, and happy papercrafting!

Hanging Calendar Mini in a Box

September is soon upon us, and we begin to really think about making Christmas gifts.

I'm sharing with you my latest project for Paper Architecture With Sabrina and it would make a very unique Christmas gift, customized by you for whatever purpose you want, to give as a gift. This 12 page hanging mini is great to use as a calendar, 12 Days of Christmas, 12 school years, a wedding album, a special event, and more.

Here are some photos of the project. With 12 pages I will not post all of the photos, but just enough to give you and idea of the project.







I have some different photos posted on "Paper Architecture With Sabrina" if you wish to see those. And here is a walk-through tour of the project.

Thank you for stopping by today and happy papercrafting!


File Folder Folio 6 - About Me/My Life

I have a new File Folder Folio to share with you today!

This folio is designed to be different for the other five I've designed. This one is for more journaling and is meant more for an individual to keep quick notes of their life, past, present, and future. You can however, add as many photos to it as you would like, they would just be smaller.

Teresa Collins designed a collection that is perfect for this project - "Hello My Name Is..."

It can be for yourself or given as a gift to someone else for that same reason.


For each month there are about 3 to 4 tags to pull, add notes to, or a photo to it with a quick note.




There are two policy pockets holding 4 x 6 cut-a-parts, or note cards. These are to record your dreams, goals or bucket list for the future in one pocket, and childhood, or past memories that may come to mind, in another.





Here you may view the project in a walk-through video of the project.


To purchase these instructions, please link to my online store at Zibbet. Thank you.

So next I want to ask you something. I've now completed the six folder folios I had initially had planned to create to fit inside the box for this series. However, I have had requests to keep designing more of them. So I'm am interested in finding out if more of you would like the same thing. Please leave a comment letting me know if you are interested in me continuing with more future folios.

Thank you for stopping by and having a look. And, happy papercrafting everyone!




Travel File Folder Folio - Come Away With Me


With Summer soon turning into Fall, and Summer vacations coming to an end, having a Folio to feature your favorite photos of your Summer fun is a great project to make. Using Graphic 45's "Come away with Me" 12 x 12 paper collection and a few file folders, I've come up with a folio to show them off to family and friends.

This project will first be taught in a class here in Victoria, BC, September 20th, and then the instructions will be available for purchase to all. In class we will be using a better colour of folder to go with this paper collection.

In the meantime I thought seeing this video would show you what the folio is like, and later I'll post a few more details. So watch the video, mark your calendars, and then come back to see some more.

This "Come Away With Me" travel folio can showcase up to 55 photos and journaling spots!

You will have to put up with music that did not cut off when programed to; something happened when uploading it. Sorry. But you can see the project, even if you can't always hear me.


Thank you for stopping by, and for watching!



Come Away With Me Cards With A Twist - Class



Welcome!

Today I'll be showing you the last card of four in the "Come Away With Me" Cards With A Twist Class being held in September. This one is almost like two cards in one, and has a hidden place for a gift card or prepay credit card. Great card for a graduate, or a loved one that has saved for that special trip! With different paper, it will work for any situation.

So let's have a look at the card in more detail.



You will note the tabs on the front of the card. These where created using my Envelope Punch board. When you untuck the center tab the bottom part falls down and you see this.


...the gift card tucked in it's pocket. When we lift up the top flap, you see this.


Lot's of writing real estate! Here on the front, AND just like on a regular card too!

Hope you enjoyed seeing these four cards, and that you are inspired to make more cards outside of the usual and traditional. Thank you for stopping by these four days! Here is a collage of all four cards.


Happy Cardmaking Everyone!




Come Away With Me Cards With A Twist - Class



Good to have you drop by again!

Today I'm sharing the "Hidden Gift Card" card. Mentioning for those that didn't stop in on the previous two cards, that I used Graphic 45's "Come Away With Me" 6 x 6 pad and the Chipboard #2 set. So let's have a look at the card from different angles, and see if you can guess where a gift card can be hidden from view in this card.



I'm pretty sure you can guess with these close up photos. So the next photo reveals all!


I love it! Don't you? This makes a wonderful 'Bon Voyage' card, but ith different paper this would make a great birthday card, wedding card, graduation card, and more.

Next you'll see a gift card in the slot. Sorry that the image is a little blurry.


It's wonderful to have you stop in again! See you tomorrow for the last card of this class set.




Come Away With Me Cards With A Twist - Class

Hello!

Today I'm sharing with you the second card of four for a class I'm teaching in September. This one is the "Card With-In A Card". Again, these cards are made using Graphic 45's "Come Away With Me" 6 x 6 pad and the Chipboard #2 set.


I think you can see how when you open the card on front, there is another panel that needs to be opened to see all the inside of the card. Here are a few more photos showing you this card.


And this next one shows you the card on the inside.


Of course you can embellish the inside nicely with some stamping.

Hope you are having fun view these cards. Tomorrow you will see the "Hidden Gift Card" card. Thank you for checking in to have a peek!
