Advent Calender

By
Hi there,  Cristina here for ScrapBook Blessings Club to share with you Friday's project I made for Christmas.

First, my tip of the day.... have fun when creating. You don't want to feel overwhelmed with something your working on. If you get stuck put it away and start with a new project until you have a clear head and then go back.


Onto today's project...

I made this advent tree for my kids. I made one a couple years back and they move Santa around on a calendar until x-mas day but I would always have to buy the chocolate advent calendar at the store because they loved getting a treat each day so of course each little box has a different chocolate for each day.

Here is what I used:
  • cardstock: DCWV "Home for Christmas"
  • 3 in 1 clue, glue gun
  • Tim Holtz "Black Soot"
  • Martha Stewart - Aquarium Holly Berry acrylic paint
  • Kaisercraft Advent Tree



I hope your enjoyed today's project. If you have a question, please leave it in the comments, and a DT member will get back to you.  You can visit me to see more card/project ideas at VintagePink39 also, you can join up to our Facebook group: Scrapbook Blessings Club for more fun, games, inspiration, tips and techniques.    

Thanks so much for stopping by,
Cristina

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
