TLC156, Easter Envelope Pouch

The new technique for this week, was a really cute envelope pouch. I just had to try it. Take an envelope and seal it. Using the large tag punch, punch one side (putting punch up envelope as far as it will go) right along side. Move punch down and punch out end. Turn envelope and do the same on that side. Trim off the small triangle that is left by tag punch. This makes the pouch handle.

All Done Unmounting

Whew! That was work, but I think it'll be soooo worth it. Space wise and maybe even creative wise.


My SU stamps had been stored in these two big tubs, each set was in it's clamshell it came in and they were all just stacked in the tubs.




Now all my stamps have been unmounted from their wooden blocks, applied a small amount of tack over and over glue and are now in these two 3-ring binders.


For each set, I stamped the image on a piece of white cardstock and slid that in to a plastic page on the left. On the right hand side, I attached the tacky stamp to the plastic page.


I also bought some baseball card pages and other size pocket pages to store my Cuttlebug embossing folders and diecuts.

Phil is going to put up a shelf in the extra bedroom and I'm going to put my binders and Cuttlebug up there. *grin* Up out of the way.

Grocery List

I need to tweak the list template in excel and then I'll post it for anyone to use.



Stamps-

  • Loads of Love

Cardstock-

  • Close to Cocoa
  • Not Quite Navy

Ink-

  • Basic Black

The grocery list on the front is my normal staples, I stamped lines on the back using a journaling stamp so I can add specfic things for any new recipes. I have a magnetic pen already on the fridge, so didn't add a pen to this one. But you could add one using a brad and twine. (which I will probably do when making these as a gift)


Phil's Valentine

Stamps-
  • Summer by the Sea
