30 DAY CHRISTMAS CARD MAKING CHALLENGE

         Hello Friend, 


    I decided to take on a challenge of making 30 christmas cards over 30 days, why you ask ? For the fun, getting a bunch of christmas cards ready, and for the challenge of thinking outside the box. Martin Stone a fantastic Demonstrator in the UK put out this challenge and it is fantastic, each day you are given a theme, sketch, or color combination and you go to work, share what you have made using a hashtag #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge so they are easily grouped together and you can find everyones creations. How easy is that? I hope you will consider joining in, you will find the challenge post below and on Martin's socials under MartinsMayhem. 




My Day 1 - Something Red Card 

    Follow along with me as I share, I am playing catch up but will not disapoint on what I have to Share :) Many other things are in the works as the holiday season is upon us to get your spirts and creative juices flowing, so check back here often as some of the projects will be exclusive to my Blog only.

K Cup Holder featuring Tea Boutique DSP

         Hello Friend, 


        If you watched my Facebook Live on May 21.22, I featured the Tea Boutique Suite and one of my extra projects was this adorable K Cup Holder. I said I would provide you the instructions, so below follow along and make your own customized for your next gathering :) 


        To start you will need a Cardstock piece cut to 2' x 11' and Scored at 4 1/2' & 6 1/2'. 

        For the base you need Card Stock cut to 3 15/16" x 3 15/16", Scored at 1" on all sides.
        You will then snip up your corners to create tabs on all four sides. 
        Then cut a small triangle to make all your corners lay a bit cleaner and neater when you fold up to create your base.  
        Use Tear n Tape on all your tabs to secure your corners, remove backing one at a time and fold up and secure to the middle section. 
        your base will look like this once all your tabs are secured in place.
        You will decorate with DSP  sized 1 3/4"x 3 3/4' cut two pieces which will layer on your 2x11' cardstock front & back.  And 15/16" x 1 7/8" cut two pieces for the outside edges of the base layer that holds your K Cup in. 
        The back side and side view of where DSP is placed. You can use a Tag Topper punch or a die to decorate the top and make a hole for you to slip in ribbon to hold closed. 
        Decorate with a Stamp Set & Dies Coordinating to the DSP you choose for your project, but don't you love this Tea Boutique DSP! 
        Hope you love this cute project and make many yourself, Please Share what you created on any of my Socials or Tag me on yours :) I love to see what I inspired you to create!
