Valentine Treat Pouch Tutorial



Hey scrappers! Welcome back to the Scrap, Paper, Scissors Training Academy! We are going to be working on a cute and fun Valentines Day Project using the NEW Scrapbook Workshop on the Go by Close To My Heart. This workshop kit comes with an the Sweetheart B&T Duos paper, Sweetheart Stamp Set, Sweetheart Epoxy Stickers as well as the workshop guide. With my leftovers, I planned this AWESOME project to show you! Lets begin, shall we?



Cut a piece of black cardstock 5 1/4 x 7 7/8- Then score it at 2" and 5". Then rotate it and cut it at 1".

Then, you are going to cut a piece of b&t duos, I used the flowery one, and cut it at 7 7/8 x 3 3/4 In a later step, you will wrap it around the black base.
The next step is to take the back of the b&t duos paper - this is going to be up to you on how wide you want it, but you will need to make it long enough to go around the entire pouch.


As you see my sandwich above, you are going to want to layer these three pieces of paper around each other.Now, this is what your pouch should look like so far!
Our next step is going to be the tag that goes inside of our pouch. Ok, you are going to cut a piece of cardstock at 2 3/4 x 4 1/4. Round the corners. Then you are going to cut a piece of b&t duos at 4x2 1/2. Round these corners and adhere them together and add a ribbon at the top.
Using the larger heart stamp on your new stamp set, use cranberry ink and stamp it on white paper. Then, you are going to cut it out and glue it on a piece of red scrap paper, and cut around the edges, leaving some room. Then, you are going to glue it on the black paper and cut around the edges leaving some room as well. Now you have a nice sturdy interactive heart! Take 3D foam and glue it on the front of your pouch-

Here you go! This is your final pouch! Enjoy!

{Supplies Used: Sweetheart Workshop on the Go, Cranberry Ink}
**Sweetheart on the Go will be available for purchase on FEBRUARY 1ST, 2011!**

Definition Of You Mini Album

A Board Book of Sorts


So you know that thin cardboard that comes in the back of labels or paper to support it, or in packaging? Its almost like a really thin chipboard? Well I save up a bunch that gets tossed at work and have been making some ADORABLE mini albums with it! This mini album is for a dear friend at work who has been amazingly kind. We have been friends for almost a year now, and so this I made especially for her! I don't have directions, because this is a take it as you go project, however the chip-board is measured at 5 1/4 x 3. I put two binder rings at the top to hold it together, so she can pick a definition for a day and display it at her desk! LOVE it!

Here are the inside pages:






{Supplies: Boards from Packaging, State of Mind Stamp Set, Brown Bag Ink, Flowers, Lacey Ribbon, Gems, Bigger Brads, Classmate Alphabet, Homestead Alphabet}
