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!

Today's Cardmaking 101 video is in response to a question received regarding making simply styled note cards with a few supplies.  Here's hoping that it will be helpful for many of you as well. 

Here's the quick video...

Lisa's Inklings:

• Tip: Measure the image that you will stamp and cut the card stock 1/4" larger for length and width.
• If backing the stamped image with a coordinating card stock or patterned paper, cut the layer 1/4" larger (length and width) than the image piece.
• If using a back layer of card stock or designer (patterned) paper for the front of your card base, cut it 1/4" smaller than the length and width of your card front.

We would like to begin with expressing our gratitude for those who have lost their lives in service to our country and protecting its freedoms.  We honor you today.

In the spirit of service, it seems fitting to share our Stampin' Up! Day of Service last week.  As part of our Make a Difference program, Sara Douglass, Stampin' Up! CEO, organized and set up a virtual crafting party for everyone to craft and make cards to send and make someone's day.  What a wonderful way to love and serve one another!

For the Facebook Live that evening, we had an additional virtual crafting party!  Here's the "somewhat" edited recording of that fun crafting time!

Many have asked about this beautiful designer series paper.  It's called See A Silhouette and is still available... While Supply Lasts!
Below are some of the cards that we made...most are already in the mail!
