Add a sentiment from one of the journal pieces from the paper collection along with a scallop border to the front of the Memory Keeping Organizer.

Paint a Damask Singles with black paint. Dry. Adhere to front of prepared Memory Keeping Organizer. Place a sticker onto pattern paper; fussy cut around sticker. Place on prepared Damask Singles. 

Add legs to the prepared Memory Keeping Organizer. 

Fill with some of Gypsy Soul Laser Cut supplies: Small Tag Set, Memory Keepers Organizer Small Dividers,  Memory Keepers Organizer Large Dividers, and other fun items.

I am so excited to discover that the Memory Keeping Organizer fits perfectly in my IKEA Cabinet!!! How fabulous is that for a perfect storage solution!!!

Alpha...School Card with Craftwell

 Hi!!! I am sharing today on the Craftwell Blog my "Alpha...School" Card using Craftwell Alpha Embossing Folder designed by Teresa Collins.  

The A6 embossing folders come in two packs which is an incredible value.

Bonus is that they work perfect for your A2 card, tags, ATC's, etc...the sky is the limit with them. 

 I created my "Alpha....School" Card by first cutting red card stock to fit inside the Alpha Embossing Folder. Once the card stock is inside the folder... emboss using two "A" plates, platform and Cut N' Boss. 

Remove embossed card stock from Alpha Embossing Folder and sand lightly with sanding block. 

 Mat embossed card stock to top of card base. 

Add layers of card stock and pattern paper to top of card front. 

 Die cut red card stock and pattern paper using die, two "A" plates, "B" plate, metal shim and platform. 

(HINT: I like to use washi tape to hold my dies in place on small pieces of paper.)

Emboss black card stock using the Alpha Embossing Folder along with two "A" plates, platform and Cut N' Boss. 

 Lay the red card stock die cut on to top of black embossed paper. 

Fussy cut around die cut. 

 Add prepared die cut piece to to of card front along with die cut image that has been matted on circle. 

 Add brown twine ribbon to front of card base. 

Add brown twine bow along with flowers. 

 Form two tags to place inside card using the embossed black card stock and pattern paper. 

 Add ribbon to the top of each tag. 

Place in pocket that has been formed using pattern paper inside of card. 

 Thanks for stopping by the Craftwell Blog today and hope you try your hand at making a hidden pocket filled with embossed tags or may just making a fun card using some of Teresa's fabulous embossing folders that are available here at Craftwell. 

Hugs Pam

SCHOOL'S BACK IN SESSION!!!

WOW!!!! 
Can you believe it is time for the next school year to begin!!!
I can't believe how fast the summer has went by. 
BUT!!!! 
With that being said I couldn't help but to create a fun canister set for a favorite teacher friend.
I know it will look fabulous on her desk and Graphic 45 ABC Primer is the perfect collection to create it with.  
How to Make the Canisters

Die cut 3 sets of canisters using Matboard. 

Leave one canister set alone, cut 1” off one set of canisters and 2” of the last set of canister sides.

Form canisters.

Apply washi tape to top and bottom of prepared canister.

Adhere pattern paper to prepared canisters. 

 Adhere die cut borders to canisters. 

 Decorate each of the canisters with chipboard embellishments.

Fill each of the canisters with tags and other supplies.

  Add doily die cuts to lids of canisters.
The metal rings I found while on vacation at a fabulous scrapbook store in Englewood FL called Treasured Memories Scrapbook and More Store!!!

Adhere metal circles and knobs to lids.

How to Make ABC Primer Stand: 

Cut chipboard base for stand 1” longer that the three canisters. 

Cut chipboard sides 1” x the length of the chipboard base.

Apply washi tape around the top edges of formed stand.

 Apply washi tape to the chipboard bottom and sides to form box.  

Place adhesive on paper pieces using the Xyron Creative Station. 

 Adhere pattern paper to the formed canister stand. 

 Add handles and legs to stand.

 Adhere sticker and chipboard to front of stand. 

Place the created canisters in to the canister stand!!!
There you go a fabulous, fun and useful canister set for your favorite teacher!!!
I hope you try making a few for your friends and family.
REMEMBER!!!
