Mini File Folder Tutorial

I made a mistake! 

I scheduled this post for next Monday but I thought I scheduled it for yesterday. Oppps, I'm so sorry!

Below is a photo tutorial of how I made the Mini File Folder of my other Paper Pumpkin Cards found here. 

It is super simple and I love using it on cards!

Here is a card finished with the folder from the October My Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Here is a card finished with the folder I created.

The folders look very similar don't they?

Wahoo My Paper Pumpkin Kit Part 2

As I mentioned on Monday These are the second set of cards I created using my October My Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

I love to take the supplies they give us and cut all the cards in half. Cutting a 1/4" off the top and side of the card gives you a nice frame to mount on a 4-1/4"X5-1/2" piece of card stock. This makes the kit stretch a lot further. 

My cards below are fairly similar. First I started by putting the Washi tape directly onto the brown paper. I didn't think the tape looked quite right.

So for my next card I put the tape on a strip of whisper white card stock and then adhered it to my card. Looking better.

Also for this card, I ran out of the white file folders from the kit. So, I figured out how to replicate it using the Envelope Punch Board. On monday I will give you a photo tutorial on how to make the folder. It really is quite simple.

For my next card I wanted to see what it would like if the washi tape had a border on the left and right side. I was happy with it but still liked the card above better. 

In an attempt to make a masculine card I got rid of the butterflies and added some twine and a button from the kit. What do you think, masculine enough?

Wahoo My Paper Pumpkin Kit Part 1

Before we get to my cards today I just wanted to inform you I am going to try to post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I hope by telling you this you won't be frustrated when I don't post on the other days of the week.

Last week I got together with my mother and sister to Scrap and Skype and we decided to create with the Wahoo Kit we received back in October. As usual I like to make at least one card the way it was intended but then create some cards out of the box.

Since we are creating months after the kit was sent to us there were some great ideas pinned on Pinterest. Below are cards I cased from others. Wednesday I will share with you the cards I made with the other half of the kit.

July's My Paper Pumpkin Party Banner Alternative Scrapbook Layout

Good Morning!

I was finally able to get some photos of the scrapbook layout I made during my "Scrap n Skype" night with my sister and mother. The photos are a little dark, but with the sun coming up so late and going down so early I think this is as good as it is going to get.

I really like this kit as a scrapbook page. For me, it will be more useful than using the kit as cake toppers.

The page on the left will have 4-3"X3" photos or one large 6.25"X6.25" photo (the mat is 6.5"X6.5"). The other mat on the left page will have 2-3X4 photos (the mat is 3.5"X8.75".

The page on the right will have 2-6"X4" photos (the mats are 6.5"X4.5") and one photo 3.5"X5.5" (the mat is 4"X6".

You may be wondering about the chevron ribbon. You are right, there is no Tangerine Tango chevron ribbon. I used Calypso Coral, which seemed to match fairly well.Once I get some photos in I may decorate the page a little more with some buttons or circles of different colors but first I need pictures.

Kit: July's My Paper Pumkin Kit

Paper: Island Indigo, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit, Whisper White

Punches: Circle Punch (1-3/8" I believe)

Accessories: Calypso Coral 3/4" Chevron Ribbon
