Mini Reminder Board with Push Pins

So I've had this square piece of cork board for a few years now. It was part of the craft supplies

I inherited from my mother-in-law, may she rest in peace, a couple of years ago.

After hopping along on the My Pink Stamper Blog Hop tonight I had an inspiration to finally use it.

Here are the supplies I used

12" x 12" Cork Board Square

Four pieces of cardstock strips.

I cut mine 1"wide by 12" long.

Mod Podge & a foam brush.

Two Command Medium Picture Hanging Strips

Flat back resins or buttons with loops removed,

thumb tacks and glue gun.

What I did

1. Cut cardstock strips in 1" x 12" strips
2. Applied modge podge to the smooth side of the cork board 1" layer at top edge.
3. Applied another layer directly to cardstock strips.
4. Pressed cardstock firmly to the cork square.
5. Repeated process around entire border of cork square.
6. After strips have dried apply Command Strips to top left & right hand corner.
7. To make push pins I applied hot glue onto the push pin and then pressed the resinbutton firmly, holding it into place until it had fully dried.
8. I then used the Believe stamp from the My Pink Stamper Christmas Wishes set and stamped two pieces of white cardstock and adhered them to the top left & right corners.

For some reason I can't seem to link the blog hop on here so I'll just post a link

directly to My Pink Stmapers blog.

Snowflake Card

Quick and easy card, one of the many I'm making

to send out for Christmas.

What I Used

DCWV Winter Magic Stack

Plain Navy Blue Card Stock - 11" x 8.5"

Silver Glitter Snowflake from Michaels

(snowflake is actually a miniature ornament)

Cricut Cartridge - Elegant Edges

Hot Glue Gun

ATG Gun

How I Made It

1. Cut 11" x 8.5" Navy cardstock into two A2 sized cards.

(about 4 1/4 x 5 1/2)

2. Cut out an Oblong Swirl at 5 1/4" - using DCWV paper

3. Cut another Oblong Swirl at 3" - using same navy paper

4. Cut off the string and loop of the snowflake ornament.

5. Hot glued the snowflake on top.



Wedding Card

Outside of the envelope

DCWV Christmas Wreath

Wreath I made using DCWV 2011 Season Christmas Stack and Recollections Sugar Plums. Used the Cricut Cartridge - Potpourri Basket - for the leaves and cut them out at 2 1/2 inches.

My base for my wreath was just a large circle, cut out of card stock, using Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. To make the hole in the middle I just cut out another circle traced it onto the larger one and cut it out.

To give the leaves some dimension I curled them, in different directions, using a bone folder.
