• Layer is cut 5-1/4 x 4.  You can cut this down to preferred size after you get the strips glued.
• Try to cut strips 5 to 5-1/2 inches long.  I try to start with a piece that's at least 5-1/2" in length.
• First strip should run straight with the edge and not overhang the cardstock layer.

Thanks for tuning in for today's fun fold card idea now it's your turn to give it a try!

This cardmaking process began with a left-over element so it was only right to make a video to walk you through the thought process, don't you agree?  It's always fun for me to see how others think through their creative process so this Cardmaking 101 video was recorded with the hope that it will be helpful to someone.

The Tasteful Touches Bundle (English) [154098] is beautiful set of products that is so versatile!  If this isn't in your craft supply stash, you must get it now!  Combine these stamps and dies with the coordinating In Good Taste Designer Series Paper [152494] and you definitely have a winning combo that you will love!

We will be "celebrating" the Fourth of July this weekend so here is a fun home decor paper crafting project for you to make!

Although Mr. Brown and I are not having visitors to the cabin this year, it's still important to us to have some decór out for the different seasons and celebrations.  We truly believe that we can find joy in each day and this is one little way to do that! And, these red, white, and blue decor items are good to go from Memorial Day in May to Labor Day in September!

This framed piece was the project for my Facebook Live this past Saturday.  Saturday morning lives have not been playing nicely (broadcast interruptions and freezing screens) so it's better for me to be prepared ahead of time with a pre-recorded video so that's what you will see here today.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102482] 8-1/2 x 11.
• Score short side at 1/2, 1, 1-1/2, 2. 6-1/2, 7, 7-1/2, 8.
• Score long side at 1/2, 1, 1-1/2, 2, 9, 9-1/2, 10, 10-1/2.
• Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper [152460] 3-1/2 x 6.
• Cut off four corners.
• On two of the opposite sides, cut 1/2 inch off the first two panels, and then angle the third panel. Do this on both ends.
•  Add Tear & Tape Adhesive [138995] to the last panels on each side, and roll them in to create your frame. Be sure to use a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755] on those angled cuts.
  
• Refer to video for specifics.

Game Nights are a lot of fun and here is a project idea to jazz it up a bit! 

Our family loves to play games...board games, card games, dice games...all the things!  More times than not, we are scrambling for a note pad for keeping score.  So why not dress one up a bit and keep it on hand for those special family times.

Here's a video tutorial so you can see how easy it is to put one together.  You can get these little 8 x 5 notepads at most office supply stores. Now, let's get to it so you can start creating.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Basic Black Cardstock [121045] is cut 8- 1/4 x 10-3/4. Score at 5-1/4 and 5-1/2.
• Playful Pets Designer Series Paper [152489] is cut 8 x 5 and 2 x 5 for top of notepad.
• Basic Black scrap needed for die cutting.
• Whisper White Cardstock [100730] for stamping and fussy cutting- 1/4 of a sheet about 5-1/2 x 4-1/4.
• White Ribbon from Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack [153620]- 20”

Here is the list of Stampin' Up! products that were used in this video.  Keep in mind that you could re-create the project with a different stamp set and different supplies and it would make a nice little gift.  Here's a different version from way back!

You can just click on the links below to shop in my online Stampin' Up! store.  When you shop with me, it enables me to continue to bring free videos and content to you weekly and I am so appreciative.  I will be honored to serve as your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
