Tutorials
March 23-- DIY Kids Coloring Book by Sandy
March 25-- Long Easel Card by Gail


So I have a very easy and great tutorial that you can do either with your kiddos or for them as a little gift.

 I am going to show you the 
5 min DYI Kids Coloring Book!
Let's get started !
DIY Kids Coloring Book
 by Sandy Hentzel

Items needed:
4 pieces of 4x4 white cardstock
small hold punch
pencil
6 inch floral wire 
wire cutter
black ink
stamp set
(I used Zoo Friends)

First you will measure your holes. 
Starting 1 inch down, measure every 1/4 inch five times. 
You should end an inch from the bottom.

 Next, I like to wrap my 6 inch floral wire around a pencil to get my "coil".

Now you want to twist the wire into the holes. 

 As I am twisting, I will use the pencil to make sure I keep my coil shape.

 At the ends, you want to hook your wire into a loop so the coil stays in place.

After you hook your ends, this is what the front should look like.

And here is a picture of the inside of your book. 

Now the fun part is to start stamping the images that you want. Here are the images I used covering the front, back and the pages in the middle. 
I like to personalize the back page.  But the ideas are endless and I can guarantee 100%,  your little one will LOVE their own little book.
Plus with the new craze in coloring books, I bet there is a special girlfriend or two that would love a floral image book, one with birds, etc.
 MFPStamps are fabulous line art stamps perfect for this type of craft!

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 ...

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.
