New class from Sue Fields-Dance Journal

2008-06-19T08:32:00.000-07:00

Just A Girl Altered Journal

Supplies Needed:

Moxxie Just A Girl Rub-ons

Moxxie Just A Girl patterned paper-Flower Frenzy, Take Flight, Fancy Free

1 sheet White cardstock

Scalloped circle punch, 2 inches in diameter

One silk or straw flower

Rick-rack

Pop Dots

Alphabet Stickers

Inexpensive journal/notebook (got mine at a craft store for $1)

Step 1:

Begin by measuring the size of your journal. I measured mine from the holes where the spiral binding goes to the edge of the book.

Cut a piece of the Take Flight dotted paper that is 1/2 to 3/4 inches larger than the measurements of your journal.

Adhere to the cover (see document 1).

Step 2:

Fold over the edges like you are wrapping a gift and adhere to the inside of the cover (see document 2).
Step 3:

To finish off the inside of the cover, cut a piece of the Flower Frenzy large enough to extend past your folds, yet keeping a small distance from the edges of the book (see document 3). Do the same thing for the back of the journal.
Step 4:

Now you've got the base of your journal covered, so it's time to move onto the fun stuff!

Cut a thin strip of Fancy Free to adhere along the left side of the cover. My strip measured approximately 1 1/2 inches, however you may need to adjust the size to whatever is appropriate for your journal.

Adhere this strip down, then adhere your rick-rack as well (see document 4). The rick-rack should measure the same length as your Fancy Free strip.
Step 5:

Using a scrap piece of the Flower Frenzy, punch out your scalloped circle. We will be using the blue side of the paper (See document 5).
Step 6:

Now, using the Just A Girl rub-ons, rub of the flower onto the punched circle (See document 6).

Step 7:

Do the same with the white piece of cardstock and the butterfly rub-on (See document 7).

Cut the butterfly out. I left some of the white around the edges of the butterfly to give those delicate antennas a little more stability.

Step 8:

Coming into the final stretch, you can add the pop dots onto the back side of the circle (See document 8).

Step 9:

Do the same for the butterfly, however double-up the pop dots on the right, top wing (See document 9), as it needs the extra height.

Step 10:

Now you can adhere the silk/straw flower and add your title to your journal (See document 10). I chose to title mine "Dance" but this could work for just about anything.

Think Spring Door Hanger

Are you ready for Spring? If so, this door hanger is the perfect decoration for your front door to tell the world that you are ready!

Here’s what you’ll need to complete this project:
Wood door hanger (Available at your local scrap or craft stores)

Adhesive
Pop Dots
Pencil
Craft Knife
12 inch ruler
Moxxie Easter Trail Paper (1 sheet)
Moxxie Chickadee Paper (1 sheet)
Moxxie Easter Doodle cardstock stickers
Moxxie Easter Doodle rubons
Pink, Purple and Yellow cardstock
1 yard sheer ribbon (2 inch wide)
Diamond glitter stickles by Ranger
White paper frills (or something similar)
Quickutz scalloped circles (a scalloped circle punch or just plain circles will do just fine if you do not have access to a scalloped circle system)

Let’s get started:
To get started we will cover the entire door hanger using the reverse side of the Chickadee paper.

1. Adhere the wood door hanger to the front side of the Chickadee Paper (as shown in the photo). The reverse side of the paper will be used for this project.
2. Using your craft knife, trim the inside circle first, and then the outside edge.
3. Run a piece of sandpaper around the edges to catch any excess paper.
4. Cut 1 piece of Easter Trail paper at 3 ½ x 4 inches and adhere to top as shown. Be sure to display the reverse side of paper. Cut two strips of Doodlebug paper frills and adhere at the top and bottom of the Easter Trail paper.
Adding flower pieces and title.
1. I used the Creative Memories cutting system to create the circles used for the flower pieces. You can also use punches.
2. After your circles are punched or cut, place flower rubons on white circles3. Mat white flower circles onto larger purple circle4. Finally, using a scalloped circle punch or cutting system, create 3 scalloped pieces to use as the base.
5. Position scalloped flower pieces on the door hanger as shown in final project.
6. Place the “Think Spring” sticker on pop dots and position at an angle as shown.

Finishing Touches:
1. Wrap sheer ribbon around the door hanger and create a large bow.
2. I placed a coordinating die cut behind the bow. The die cut was made using a Quickutz design, however, something similar would work just as well.
3. To add sparkle to this project, I used diamond stickles to the flower centers on the rubon flowers and the sticker flowers. See close up image for the fun effect this creates to your project.

This is a simple project that can make a great gift for your favorite person or for yourself!

New Remembrance box by Elizabeth Carney!

2008-03-24T09:16:00.000-07:00

Remembrance Box by Elizabeth Carney

Supplies Needed:

Mod Podge
Paintbrush
Moxxie Filly Cowgirl papers
Cardboard Slat
Box Template
Craft Knife
Scrapbooking Sticky Tape
Adhesive
Cutting Mat
Scoring Tool
Ric Rac ribbon
Chipboard Heart
Moxxie Filly Buttons
Moxxie Filly Cardstock Stickers
Ribbons

I wanted to create a remembrance box for my daugher Alyssa of all the wonderful things that are at the farm where she rides horses each week. I made a box so that she could keep it in her room and take out the cards whenever she felt like she wanted to look at photos of the horses.

Step 1: You need to have a box template. I used the Coluzzle system with the cutting mat and swivel knife to make my box.
Step 2: I used the Moxxie Filly cowgirl papers to make this box. Make sure to follow the directions for your template. You can use a scoring tool to do the fold parts of the box. After the box is cut, you are ready to begin assembling!Step 3: Using scrapbooking sticky tape, I adhered all the needed sides of the box. After everything was adhered, I used a paintbrush and Mod Podge to cover the entire outside of the box. I did this because I want the box to last and also be sturdy for little hands. Allow the box to dry 5-10 minutes for each actual side to ensure drying.Step 4: Once the box is completely dry, you can begin decorating it. I used Moxxie Filly cardstock stickers, Moxxie Filly Rub-ons, and Moxxie Filly buttons.Step 5: Taking the box card template, you will create small cards that will go into the box as keepsakes. I chose to make 12 cards. You can make how ever many you wish for your project. I used all of the Moxxie Filly paper collection for the cards. Step 6: After the cards have been made, you can decorate them to your liking. I used photos that were from Alyssa's trip to the horse farm. Then I decorated each card using Moxxie Filly cardstock stickers, rub-ons, and buttons.
Step 7: All of the photos are sized 2.1 x 2.8. I used 12 photos, one for each card. This project would also make a great gift for the grandparents using your family photos!

Clipboard Wallhanging by Elizabeth Carney!

2008-03-24T08:43:00.000-07:00

Zoo Checklist Clipboard

Supplies Needed:

Any Clipboard

Adhesive

Scrapbooking Sticky tape

Moxxie Zoo Fun Rub-ons

Moxxie Zoo Fun cardstock stickers

Moxxie Zoo Fun Buttons

Moxxie Zoo Fun Patterned Papers

Yellow Cardstock

Pop Dots

1-inch ribbons of your choice

Circle Template

Scissors

I wanted to create a cool wall hanging for my friend's sons' room. I decided to use photos of their time at the zoo since they had so much fun!

Let's get started!

Step 1: I adhered the Moxxie Zoo Fun animal adventure papers using adhesive to the clipboard itself. I angled it just a tad to give the effect.

Step 2: I cut using scissors the letters "ZOO" out of the Moxxie Zoo Fun A Day at the Zoo papers. I backed them with adhesive onto the yellow cardstock and then cut the letters out using scissors. After they were cut, I used pop dots to adhere them to the background paper.

Step 3: After the Moxxie papers are adhered, I decided to add buttons all around the clipboard for a fun effect. To do this, I used scrapbooking sticky tape. I did the outside of the clipboard to decorate with the Moxxie Zoo Fun buttons. I did not want to do the entire clipboard with buttons, so I did around certain edges.Step 4: As I was adding the buttons, I added the Zoo Fun cardstock stickers on either side of the clipboard for balance.Step 5: To fill in the gaps of the clipboard, I added elements from the Zoo Fun Gone Wild papers. I used a circle template and cut around the circles on the page. I then adhered them to the clipboard using scrapbooking sticky tape. I added them to the upper left hand corner of the clipboard.Step 6: The next thing I did was add photos of the boys at the zoo using scrapbooking sticky tape. The photo sizes are 3x5; 2.8x3.Step 7: Using the Moxxie Zoo Fun cardstock stickers, I added the photo corners on the right and left lower side of the papers to tie in with everything else.

Step 8: After all of this is adhered, I added ribbon to the top of the clipboard. Using an inch of each color, I just added them on the clipboard by tying them.

The clipboard is ready to hang on the wall or sit on an easel!

Howdy Cowboy!

2008-03-11T18:24:00.000-07:00

Here is a fun new class from Sue Fields using our new Buckaroo collection!

Cowboy Frame Up!

Supplies:

Frame or plaque in rectangular shape
acrylic paint
chipboard sheet
scissors
exacto knife
small clothes pin
1 yd ribbon
Moxxie's Buckaroo Paper
Moxxie's Buckaroo Buttons

Step 1: The first step is choosing the frame you want to use. I chose a rectangular frame. You will use acrylic paint to paint the inside edges and outside of frame. Allow this to dry thoroughly.
Once the paint has dried, measure the inside of the frame so that you can cut the paper to fit inside. Once you have cut the paper to the inside frame dimension, you can adhere it using adhesive.

Step 2: You will need a piece of chipboard or cardboard. Cut out a boot shape from the chipboard and the patterned paper from the Buckaroo collection. I used a foam template, but you could try freehanding it. My boot has the 2 stars cut out of the top. Save these for future use!
Back the patterned paper boot with the chipboard boot. This will give the boot more stability on the frame. You can see in the photo that there are patterned stars in the boots. Cut squares of the paper and attach them behind the cut out. Yes, it is cheating, but who will know?

Step 3: Before attaching the boot to the frame, cut out the boot embellishments. Use an exacto knife to cut the paper to fit on the star. I used an open star because I thought it resembled spurs but any chipboard star will do.

Adhere the paper to the chipboard and move onto cutting the fringe accent.

You will need a strip of paper approximately 1 inch by 2 1/4 inches long. Begin cutting in from the bottom edge to about 3/4 of the way to the top. Move over slightly as you cut so that the fringe strips are thin. Curl the ends by slightly bending them upwards but not folding them.

Adhere the fringe to the boot and warp it around the edge (front) of the boot for a more dimensional look.

Attach the star and add the button on the top right corner of the fringe. Once the boot has been completely embellished, place the boot at an angle and adhere to the frame with adhesive.

Step 4: Take the stars that were previously cut from the top of the boots and affix them to the top of the frame.

Add buttons to the stars and the top and bottom of the frame as well.

Paint a small clothes pin to match the frame. Once that dries, adhere it to the top left side of the frame.

Add ribbons to the back of the frame so that you can hang it up.

You can use the clothes pin to clip a photograph like I did or just post a little "reminder" note to it!

Puppy Love by Sue Fields

2008-01-12T10:49:00.000-08:00

Puppy Love Chipboard Album

Supply List:
How Do I Love Thee patterned papers, stickers, and rub-ons.
Xacto knife
Scissors
Chipboard album or 12x12 chipboard and template
Rolodex card for template
Black Acrylic paint
Paint brush
Ribbon
Adhesive
Corner RounderBrads
Felt Embellishments
Heart Punch
Alphabet stickers
Jump rings-1

Let’s get started.

The cover page of this album has 2 layers.

Step one is to use an Xacto knife to cut out the paper to fit on the chipboard album.
(Another option would be to trace around the album then use scissors to cut out the paper.)
Next cut out the paper to fit the heart that is the top layer of the cover.
Adhere the ribbon about 1/3 of the way from the top of the heart.

To make the title I used a rolodex card (or in this case mine was chipboard) as the base.
I cut out a piece of felt to cover all but the heart of the rolodex card.

Before adhering the felt, add the rub-on heart.
Now cut out a piece of white paper to adhere your title to.

Mine was about 3.5” x 1.5” After placing the left bracket on the cardstock, start adding your letter stickers, paying careful attention to the size of the letters so that the “love” rub-on can be added. I placed the largest letters on the ends and used smaller letters (about 1/2 the size) for the middle. Now add the “love” rub-on and then place the heart tag sticker over the “o” in love. Add the brad, trim off the ends around the brackets, and adhere to the felt.

I found that dry adhesive worked better than wet when adhering to the felt.

Finally, attach your rolodex card to the top layer of your cover page.

Page two also involves cutting out the patterned paper to fit the shape of the album.

The “Mad About You” paper was perfect for journaling.

The lines on this will make my hand-journaling much neater!

I added a small photo along with a tab sticker, used as an arrow, then added a label that spelled out “Max”.

The remaining pages were all painted with black acrylic paint.

Once those dry, you can finish the album rather quickly.

NOTE – I adhered the photos then trimmed around the edges to match the shape of the album.

Page three uses a red photo corner sticker, two rub-ons, and a heart that was cut out of the “Bliss” paper.

Adhere the sticker to the top right corner then apply the rub-on directly on top of the sticker and photo.

Do the same with the heart rub-on then adhere the tiny cut out heart.

To make page four you will need to cut a strip measuring approximately 5 in long x 1/2 in wide from the “True Love” paper.

Adhere that over the top of the photo then adhere the “sweetheart” sticker vertically from the left end of the paper.

I rounded the corners of the paper before adhering.

Finally, cut out 3 more hearts from the “Bliss” paper and adhere.

Page five is super simple.

Place the large “I Love You” circle sticker over the focal point of the photo, trim edges then add felt embellishments.

The next photo I matted using the “Mad About You” paper.

After adding a punched heart, I added the puppy’s name with alphabet stickers and underlined it with an arrow rub-on.

The finishing touches were two felt hearts.

Page six is another simple page.

Tuck the left corner of the photo underneath the dotted circle sticker while the rest of the photo stays on top.

Adhere the photo corner then add a punched heart.

Although I used a chipboard heart that I covered with patterned paper.

The back page uses “Mad About You” paper.

I followed the curves of the hearts with my scissors and ended up with a pretty wave.

Adhere to the back page and you could add a rub-on or two if you wanted.

Add a jump ring and ribbons and voila, you have completed an album!

Ribbon
Step 1:

Use a piece of 12x12 cardstock {Moxxie How Do I Love Thee Lucky In Love Reverse papers} for the strip to go around the lid. This will be cut using scissors 2 inches wide and 12 inches long.

You will also need a smaller piece of this to finish the back, as the strip is not long enough to cover entire lid. This smaller size will be 2 inches.

Using a 1 inch paintbrush and Modge Podge, you will adhere this onto the lid.

First cover the lid and place the strip onto the lid, and then use Modge Podge to cover the paper strip itself to assure adhering.

Allow that to dry for 5 minutes.

After the strip has dried, you can add the ribbon.

You will need scrapbooking sticky tape to stick this down and also the ribbon size should be 1/2 yard. You can use any type of ribbon you wish.

Adhere using scrapbooking sticky tape.

Next you will move to the actual top of lid.

Using a 1 inch paintbrush and Modge Podge you will adhere this onto the lid.

First cover the lid using the Modge Podge and then with the Moxxie How Do I Love Thee cardstock stickers.

Make sure that you Modge Podge both front and back of stickers to ensure adhering.

Allow drying for 5 minutes.

Next you will cut with scissors out of one part of the Moxxie How Do I Love The Love Me Knots papers and set aside.Cutting with scissors another smaller sized ribbon {approx. 3 inches} to embellish.

Adhere the ribbon first using scrapbooking sticky tape.

Then you can add the cut Moxxie How Do I Love The Love Me Knots papers {should look like a flower from cut}.

Adhere this flower on by using pop dots to make it stick up.

Now that the lid is complete, you can set this aside to dry any further if needed.

Canister itself:Cut using scissors out 10 strips of paper using Moxxie How Do I Love Thee line {you can choose which papers you would like to use for these strips}.

These strips will need to be in the size of 10 inches long by 2 inches wide. I had you cut 10 in case you needed more, but we should use less.

After the strips are cut, you will begin placing them onto the actual canister one at a time.Using your 1 inch paintbrush you will adhere using Modge Podge to the canister as well as each strip of paper. This will ensure it sticking to canister.

Go around the entire canister and cover.

After you have covered the entire canister allow drying for 10 minutes to ensure that it has had enough time to dry.

While that is drying, you can create the heart to place on the front of the canister for the embellishment.

Take your Coluzzle swivel knife and Coluzzle heart template and create a heart {the biggest heart on the template} in black cardstock.

Next use your Coluzzle swivel knife and your Coluzzle heart template and create a heart {the next one down from the biggest heart size} out of Moxxie How Do I Love Thee True Love reverse papers.

Adhere using scrapbooking sticky tape to the back of the black cardstock papers.

Then taking your Coluzzle swivel knife and your Coluzzle heart template, create a heart {the middle sized one} out of Moxxie How Do I Love Thee Hugs and Kisses papers.

Adhere using scrapbooking sticky tape to the upper left side of the bigger hearts.

After you have created all of these hearts, use the Moxxie How Do I Love Thee rubons and place a heart of your choice onto white cardstock paper.

Adhere to the upper left hand corner of the hearts with scrapbooking sticky tape.

Next, place the Moxxie How Do I Love Thee cardstock stickers {xoxo and smooch} onto the smaller black heart with a brad.

Take the Moxxie chipboard and using the Moxxie How Do I Love Thee cardstock stickers {sweetheart} stick onto the right hand side of the Moxxie How Do I Love Thee True Love reverse papers.

Once you have completed all of this, using your 1 inch paintbrush, place Modge Podge over the entire heart and embellishments to create a lasting effect.

Allow this to dry for 10 minutes due to thickness.

Once this is dry you can adhere the heart onto the front of the canister with scrapbooking sticky tape.

You will lastly punch a hole in the side of the canister to run the ribbon through.

Tie a knot in one end of the ribbon, pull through the hole.

Pull the ribbon through the opposite hole to the inside of the canister and knot in place.

Fill the canister with candy or a bottle of bubbly and share with your favorite sweetheart!

Valentine Wreath by Janet Ball!

2008-01-08T21:14:00.000-08:00

Supply List:

1- 12x12 piece of chipboard

How Do I Love Thee collection of papers and rub-ons

Ribbon

Pink Paint to match paper

Transparency 12x12 sheet

Adhesive

Scissors

Marker

Step 1: Cut a heart out of chipboard.

Cut a smaller one in the center. I used my cricut and the George font/shape cart.

The outside heart is fit to 12x12 and the inside heart is 7.25”.

Paint the chipboard pink…just in case there is any show through of the hearts. Allow to dry for about 10 minutes.

Adhere a transparency to the back with adhesive and trim around the outside of the heart and punch a hole in the top of the heart for ribbon.

Step 2: Cut out 1.5” hearts from different How Do I Love Thee papers.

You can punch, die cut, or hand cut. I used the cricut and the George font/shape cart for mine.

You will need to cut out about 20 from 5 different double-sided papers for a total of 100.

Fold the hearts in half to add more dimension and adhere from the center of the heart and around. I randomly selected the hearts and mixed up the patterned papers.

Step 3: Cut out embellishment rub-ons for center of heart. I used the heart, arrow, and words "Happy Valentines Day."

Place one at a time and rub-on to the center of the transparency.

I cut the arrow in half to look like it is going through the heart. I rubbed on the arrow part, then the heart, and then the feather end.

I used a sharpie to make an “entrance” into the heart.

Step 4: Add ribbon and hang! Way too fun!

Altered Christmas Clipboard by Robyn Weatherspoon!

2007-11-06T08:47:00.000-08:00

Here’s a super-fun project that will add loads of fun to your Christmas décor!
Here’s what you’ll need to complete this project:
Moxxie Santa Stops Here patterned papers
Moxxie Santa Stops Here cardstock stickers
Moxxie Chipboard Coordinates #1
Clipboard
Adhesive
Glue Dots
Mod Podge
Envelope template
Bone folder
Eyelet
Buttons
Ribbon/Ric rac
Scissors

Let’s Get Started!
Trace clipboard on patterned paper. Cut it out.

Since the clipboard is actually about an inch longer than the patterned paper, cut the patterned paper in half. Attach to clipboard leaving a space in the middle. Cut a strip of different patterned paper about 1 ½ inches wide. Layer in the middle of the clipboard so that it’s completely covered. Cut 2-narrow strips of patterned paper. Layer one on each side of the middle strip. Using an envelope template(I chose one that would make a tall, narrow envelope so I can put a pencil in it), trace and then cut it out on patterned paper. Using a bone folder, score the folding lines of the envelope. Put the envelope together with good adhesive to make sure it stays secure. Using the large Santa cardstock sticker, stick it on to patterned paper. Cut it out to make a large tag. Add an eyelet to the top of the tag.
Using a chipboard coordinates tag, cover one side with patterned paper. Add an eyelet to the center of the tag.

Add button, ribbon and tag to envelope. Add buttons and ric rac to the clipboard. Using Mod Podge, cover the entire clipboard and envelope. Allow to completely dry. Attach envelope to clipboard using glue dots to secure it. Attach the Santa tag to the top of the clipboard with ribbon. And that’s it! A lovely decorated clipboard that’s perfect for your Christmas wish list!!

3 Buttons

Orange/Brown flowers or leaves

To begin lets start off with 2 sheets of 12x12 cardstock.

You're going to cut each piece of cardstock in half making 4 sheets of 6 x 12 pieces.

You will be using 3 of the 4 sheets. (You can use the 4th if you want a larger book).

I chose a green to make the Moxxie papers POP.

You can choose the color you want to use.

Next you are going to fold each piece of the 6 x 12 piece in half, making 2 squares (they will be perfect 6 x 6 size) Fold each one a different way, making an "accordian" look.

Take the 2 you folded alike and glue them to the sheet of 6 x 12 that you folded the opposite way, laying them on top of each other. Your pages will now be an accordian book.

To decorate the cover:-cut a piece of Moxxie's "Splash of Spice" to the size of 2 3/4 x 5 inches.

Cut a piece of Moxxie's '"Autumn Splendor" the same size.

Cut a piece of orange cardstock 3 x 6 inches.

Cut circles (or use shaped cardstock) for the bottom of the page to the size 1 3/4 inches x 1 3/4 inches.

First put down the orange cardstock 2 1/2 inches down from the top of your cover.

Next put down the "Autumn Splendor" 1 inch lower than the orange cardstock, placing it 1 inch from the left side of the cover.

Next lay down the "Splash of Spice" all the way to the right of your cover, just barely below (I eyeballed this one) the "Autumn Splendor".

(For fun "bling", I added 2 swarovsky crystals on each side of the "hot chocolate" sticker)

Next, rub on "SIGNS OF" (you have to cut the rub ons out to get the words separated from the "Season of Change" rub ons on the top of your cover, adding leaves for a little dimension.

You can add dots by the letters if you choose.

Next you add letters "fall" going downwards beside your photo.

I used chipboard letters, you can use stickers if you choose.

Next you add a paper clip all the way to the left of your cover, on the orange cardstock.

Tie 3 different types of ribbon on the paper clip.

Place a photo corner sticker at the top right of your photo.Rub the words "goodbye summer" from the "season of change" on the left side of your photo going up (summer should be on the cardstock)

Rub the word "Fall" on your photo, to the right.

Autumn Splendor Card Set & Tin by Robyn

2007-10-01T08:55:00.000-07:00

Autumn Splendor Gift Set Tin-
This is an altered tin with 4 greeting cards inside!

Materials Needed:
Moxxie Season of Change Foliage Frenzy Paper
Moxxie Season of Change Splash of Spice Paper
Moxxie Season of Change Autumn Splendor Paper
Moxxie Season of Change Mocha Paper
Moxxie Season of Change Rub Ons
Moxxie Season of Change Cardstock Stickers
Bazzill Hershey Cardstock
Bazzill Sherbet Cardstock
Making Memories Cute As A Button Flowers in Bloom
Bo Bunny Chocolate Bodacious Brads
American Crafts Greenhouse Emma Felt Flowers
Heidi Grace Pins
Brown VersaColor Pigment Ink Pad
Ribbon
CD sized Tin
Glue Dots
Corner Rounder
Mono Permanent Adhesive
Mono Permanent Glue
Paper Trimmer
Scissors
Bone Folder

Let’s Make Cards!
Okay, let’s get started making the 4 cards that go inside the tin!

Start by cutting 4 pieces of cardstock (2 Sherbet and 2 Hershey) 5 ¼ x 8 ½ .
Use a bone folder to score each piece down the middle. Fold the cards in half to make 4- 5 ¼ x 4 ¼ sized cards.

Use the corner rounder to round all 4 sides of the folded cards. Keep the cards folded together as you round each corner.

Next, use the paper trimmer to cut a 5 x 4 piece of patterned paper from the four patterned papers. You will end up with 4 differently patterned pieces.
Use the corner rounder to round each corner of these pieces.
Layer each piece of patterned paper on the front of a cardstock card.

Ink the edges of the cards with the sherbet cardstock with the Brown ink pad.
You may omit this step if you wish, but I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges of each card.

Now you add your ribbon of you choice to the cards, by tying a bow around the front panel of the cards.

Next, I added cardstock stickers on top of the ribbon on the cards. On one card I cut a small strip of Sherbet cardstock and added a rub on for the sentiment.
I finished my cards by adding felt flowers, brads, flowered buttons, and stick pins to each.

Now Let’s Make the Tin!
Start with a CD sized tin like this.

Next, trace around the top of the tin on the reverse side of your chosen patterned paper.
Cut it out inside of the line you traced so it is a bit smaller than the top.

Apply glue dots to the top of the tin, then carefully position the patterned paper on top. Use scissors to trim away any paper that may be overlapping the edges of the tin.*I chose to sew around the edges of my paper here, but you don’t have to.

Cut 2-1/4 strips of patterned paper to cover the bottom edge of the tin. Use wet adhesive to attach it to the tin. You may need to trim the excess paper from the tin.

Now you add the ribbon to the tin top. Using only the top of the tin, turn it so you are working with the inside cover. Glue ribbon to the inside of the top. Let it dry.

After your ribbon is dry, turn the tin top over to finish embellishing it.

Tie your ribbon in a bow. I wanted to make my tin look like one of the cards inside, so I chose to add a cardstock sticker, flower buttons and a pin to the cover just as I did with one of the cards.
And there you have it! A beautiful gift set of gift cards!
