A great Team for a great cause!!!

Published by Amber under Announcements

I am thrilled to announce that Wild Rose Paper Creations (WRPC) and Renaissance By Design (RBD) are teaming up to help support "Breakfast For Learning" (BFL).  September is BFL learning awareness month and we are planning the biggest "Stamping for Learning" event we can with hopes that we can help provide a good start to the new school year.  Devon at RBD is working on an exclusive stamp set designed just for this event that will be available for purchase, or included in the cost of the days event with proceeds going to BFL.  All attendees will complete projects and cards using RBD’s exclusive set as well as rotating to different stations to complete additional projects/cards.  NO experience is required, all supplies will be provided and all you need to bring with you is adhesive!!!  We know it will be a great event …………. we just need you!!!  

If you are interested in attending, please subscribe to my website and continue watching both WRPC and RBD for updates on our plans. We will be asking for RSVP’s when a date has been decided to ensure we secure a venue that will be a perfect fit.

We are looking forward to a wonderful day!!!

Amber & Devon

A gift card holder for Book Lovers

3 years ago when I signed up to be a demonstrator and held my very first Stamp Camp, I asked….errr….begged a 1/2 dozen of my very close friends to come and fill a few empty spots so I could have more than the 3 people I didn’t really know in attendance.  In the end, I had a total of 12 ladies and about 10 of them remain my customers to this day.  One of my most regular customers, Janet never ceases to amaze me with her cards, scrap pages and project ideas. 

Janet decided that she wanted to give her daughter’s preschool teachers a Chapters gift card at the end of the year and wanted something cute to put them in….so she borrowed part of her creation from the Halloween Top-Note treat box that I made and incorporated some coasters and came up with this:

 

 Here is the open view

 

 

Her Instructions are as follows………..

Inner Box

Start with the inner box from the tutorial by Angie

  1. Cut piece of cardstock 8 x  5 1/2
  2. Score the 8" side at 1", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 7"
  3. Turn paper and score 1" in on each side
  4. Cut all the score marks up to the 1" mark as shown
Outer “Book” Cover
  1. 2 pieces of 4×4 chipboard coasters, cut down to 4 x 2 ¾
  2. Round corners with punch
  3. Cover both sides of both pieces with Designer Series Paper and sand sides down
  4. Decorate with embellishments as desired.
  5. Attach to front and back of Box with sticky strip.
 
Spine
  1. Card stock cut down to 4 x 2 3/8
  2. With the 2 3/8 side up score at ½ and 1 7/8
  3. Flip over and put the 4” side up and score between the above listed score marks to make the lines in the spine for that Book Effect.
  4. Attach a “bookmark” to the inside of the spine
  5. Attach Spine to base with sticky strip.
 
NOTE: Be careful when opening for the first time as the spine is stiff.
 
 
Thanks Janet!!!
