Monday's Die Cuts- Explosion Box decorated w/ die cuts

By
Hi Friends, Sandy here for Monday's Die Cuts Project featuring embellishments.
But first my tip for you: cut more than you need and store away for another day
The cartridges I used for this project are: Life's a Beach, A Child's Year, Stamping, Graphically Speaking.
  I just did an Explosion Mini Album for a swap.  I love the wow factor that I get with these and they are soooo simple! I have lots of pictures for you...

You can find a great tutorial for the Explosion Box HERE  You can create a template for you box if you use the Gypsy or CCR to weld all your squares together. This is a great way to make a lot of these at one time without having to measure and cut every layer over and over.

 Now for my die cuts, using my Cricut machine:
  • Summer- cut at 1.25" from Stamping cart
  • Memories- cut at .75" from Graphically Speaking

  • These images cut at 2.25" from A Child's Year 


  • These images cut at .5 to 1.5" from Life's a Beach 


  • Here are them all together including ones fro Stamping cart and Graphically Speaking 


  • Here are pictures of the inside of the album. Went with a summer theme throughout...






  • And here is the final product...



I hope your enjoyed today's project too. If you have a question, please leave it in the comments, and a DT member will get back to you.

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun!

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
