It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to share with you some alternate projects (as well as the ones that are by the instructions) for the Light the Candles Card Kit. Now this kit is currently not orderable but I do have a couple that I have pre-ordered for you. Please contact me to get yours.
The first alternate project I am calling the “Bagelope” simply because a bag is created from an envelope. For this project you will need an envelope, Paper Trimmer, Mini Glue Dots, ribbon, and decorations.
- Seal envelope with Tear & Tape on flap and both sides.
- Trim one edge with Paper Trimmer just barely. This opening will be the top of your bag.
- Score evenly on three sides. (all sides but the one you just trimmed)
- Fold back and forth.
- Push in to create gussets.
- Flatten triangles on the bottom.
- Place Tear & Tape on the triangles and then fold under.
- Punch holes for ribbon and decorate as wanted.
- The top can be scored just a bit if you want the top to fold over.
The second project is simply taking one of the card fronts and trimming it down to fit a box. But, here is the list of instructions for you.
- Take Sweet Little Box.
- Cut paper to fit ¼” smaller than the box.
- Stamp sentiment on pennant or accent.
To see how both of these projects are created as well as many tips please go to https://youtu.be/lP93ZgMeV-U.
When you create something similar using any of these tips please post a photo of your completed project to my page, https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.
Happy Crafting!
