We will be making this adorable altered corkboard at a class I am having for a friends’ daughter and her little friend too.  Isn’t it cute.  I hope they all enjoy the project.  We’ll be making a couple of marble tacks to match.

We will also be making a simple frame using the top note die and the big shot. 

For detailed instructions on how to make one for yourself see Altered Corkboard Instructions.

Stamp Set: None

Cardstock:  regal rose, tempting turquoise, or purple, flowers for you designer series paper

Accessories: corkboard, matboard, thumbtacs, grosgrain ribbon and marbles.

Here’s another 3-D item I have been working on.  These are similar to the mini decorative paperclips I’ve made which you can see HERE except these are the much larger clips.  You can find these clips at your local office supply store.  I used the On Board Batch of Blooms, which is a collection of ove 200 chipboard shapes and images. I covered the chipboard with Designer Series Paper and  then I added some ribbons and buttons.  Finally, I adhered the chipboard shape to the jumbo clip using crystal effects glue.

Supplies:

Batch of blooms chipboard shapes and images

crystal effects glue

designer series paper

Aren’t these pens adorable?  They are so super easy and fun to make.  I made these along with a matching notebook at a class I taught at the local library. Here how it’s done: First you need a  Pentel RSVP pen or similar style.  You will need a piece of decorative paper cut to the appropriate length..3½ " x 7/8". (This is a great way to use up all those little paper scraps you can’t seem to get rid of) . You also need a piece of double sided tape or sticky strip cut to same measurement as your decorative paper. Using snail adhesive or a glue stick apply the decorative paper to the pen.  Use a bone folder to firmly rub the paper onto the pen.  Then apply the sticky strip on top of that and rub that on firmly as well.  Gently remove the backing from the sticky strip to expose the sticky. **DO NOT allow the ends to overlap until the backing is removed. Roll the pen in the microbeads until well coated.  When fully covered roll the pen on a flat surface to press beads into place.  You can add a little piece a ribbon if desired.  ENJOY!!

Supplies:

Pen

Decorative paper cut to 3½ x 7/8"

Sticky strip cut to 3½ x 7/8"

Isn’t this adorable??  I made several of these for my daughter’s 13th birthday party this summer. I found the design and instructions on Angie’s blog Here’s how it’s done: Cut your base cardstock to 4" X 5" and score it in half so the card measures 4 X 2 1/ 2.  The white inside piece is cut to 2 1/4 X 3 3/4.  Use the corner rounder to round 3 of the 4 corners on both pieces of cardstock. Use the scallop punch on the upper right corner on both pieces also: To insert the popsicle stick punch 2 holes with the horizontal slot punch on the colored cardstock: Stamp the white piece first then put stampin’ dimensionals on the back of the white piece and put that over the stick. I then tied a piece of coordinating ribbon around the stick to match:
