Swaps for convention

Just a quick tutorial on my bookmark nail file swaps for convention, they are really easy peaty.
Here are the supplies you will need to make it



Cut cardstock of choice 2"x 12"
Then punch with the scalloped tag punch, put on your score board and score roughly 1/4" on both long sides



Turn cardstock onto the short side and score at 7 3/4"



Trim a wedge both sides of score line, like this, fold and crease on all score lines



Apply glue as shown



Carefully fold glued fold onto opposite fold, adhere together



Your bookmark should look like this
Now we are going to add the DSP which measures 1 1/4" by the length of the DSP stack 6 1/2", add glue as shown



Glue DSP to the bookmark, ink and add a label of your choice



Add ribbon, staple ribbon with handheld stapler, and add nail file, also punch a little heart using the owl builder punch using your glimmer paper add to your book mark.

Shadow boxes

I have been busy making shodow boxes from chipboard, and acetate, trying to use up some of my card and papers.
The shadow boxes will be for christmas presents instead of cards, I wanted to give family and friends something they could use all year round. I have some lovely scripture stamps which I think are perfect for this. Hope you like xxx




This one is a Christmas one just for decoration, it uses Stampin up DSP All is Calm.




This one uses the Stampin up DSP, which is like newsprint. The flower decoration is made from Red Glimmer Paper, I love the way this has turned out.




This one uses retired Stampin up papers, and a beautiful matching stamp set Betsy's Blossoms.
At some stage I will do a tutorial on how I made these boxes xxx
