Break Open in Case of Emergency

Don’t forget the "Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Ole Days" Blog Candy that goes until Friday evening – you can read about it HERE and be sure to leave your comment on my post on April 25th.


Hi there!  I have fun little project to share with you today.  It’s a project I created over on the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog, but I can show it here as well.  When Kelley with Our Daily Bread Designs published the Scripture Collections this year I knew I wanted to do something with the entire collection.  The collection all together is so inspiring so I thought to make a booket out of them.  While shopping in the office supply store I came across some name badges and thought they would make  perfect pages for a book.  The more I thought about it, I envisioned a little booklet you could easily slide in your purse or carry in your car to pull out when you had a snippet of time.  I dressed them up a little bit by putting a fun tag on them to make them seem like a kit that you would pull out if you had a certain need. 

You can see here that 10 pages is a full load for this box.  For more pages I’d have to make my box deeper or jump to a different container.


I kept these fairly simple with just bows on the boxes but on my next ones I see pearls and flowers and perhaps a belly band.

As I really got into putting these together I thought of all the uses – flash cards for a kid, pocket recipes for a girlfriend, a quote journal. I love it because it’s so small.

If you think that someone is tired of getting your cards I thought this would be an excellent change up and one they are likely to keep!  The best thing is that the kit uses all the stamps in the Scripture Collection 3 and Scripture Collection 4 sets by Our Daily Bread Designs.  Here are the steps I took and the supplies I used to make them (click on pictures to make them larger):

  To get started, I purchased the ID Badge Holders at Office Depot.  They have both horizontal and vertical and come 12 to a set.  I’m using the vertical ones here.
  Each booklet has 10 pages.  For this kit I cut 20 pages that are 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" each.  Then I prettied them up by using corner punches and borders punches.  On this kit  I used the same punch on each page for a consistent element.  For the kit that’s tucked into its box, I used a different border punch/corner punch combination on each page.  There’s lots of opportunity to make each one different.
  As I planned the booklet I laid out all of the different scripture I wanted to include and paired together the horizontal pages and then the vertical pages, then planned their order.
  This is the flip side of all of the pages.  Once paired, I inserted each pairing into a plastic sleeve.
  Not having any jump rings on hand I snagged a couple of these spiral paper clips and cut them to make my own jump rings.  The rings need to be small to fit into the box – these are the perfect size.
  Here’s how it looks when everything is assembled.  I left the cover page and back page whole.   Once the jump rings were in place I threaded ribbon through the top so that the packet would be easy to pull out of the box.
   I fashioned a box from cardstock but the packet will easily fit into a tin or a baseball card holder.  Stay tuned and I’ll be publishing the dimensions for the easy to make box :-)
  To finish up I thought up possible tags to go on the outside of the kit and generated them on my computer.  I spaced them out so that I could go back and cut them out with a die cut tag or shape.

Hint:  For this project I used Scripture Collection 3 and Scripture Collection 4 because they are the right size to fit within the pages of the booklet.  Some of the extra verses come from Scripture Collection 1 and Scripture Collection 2.   I also found out it was a wonderful use for scrap paper.  For me, I have several sets of paper that I’ve purchased that are not considered current any more and this was a perfect use because as a set – all the papers match. 

Here are the supplies I used:

Project Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Scripture Collections 3, 4 and select stamps from Scripture Collections 1, 2
Paper:  Assorted Paper from my Scrap Bin, Memory Box – Provence on shown booklet
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossing powder
Accessories:  Assorted Martha Stewart Border and Corner Punches, ID Tag Holders, Ribbon, Jump Rings or Paper Clips, Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven (for lid of box), Spellbinders™ Tags Five


Take care friends, I’ll be back soon!!

    Ohh, awesome! Love the little box to hold them, too! :)ReplyCancel

    Becca, I LOVE this idea. I used to carry inspirational cards in my purse. When someone asked for my email, phone number, or address I would pull one out and use the back to write on. That way they got an inspirational message and my information. I’ve been thinking about what I wanted to make my mom and mother inlaw for Mother’s day…This is it! Thank you so much for a wonderful inspiration!ReplyCancel

  • Jan GavinApril 27, 2010 - 3:43 pm

    I think these could easily be adapted to scrapbooking as well. Some companies put out clear sleves that stack and have adhesive on the top so you can put multiple or a progression of pics in the space for one picture. I use them often, but I think your name tag ones could be used that way as well and look a little different. I especially like that there are two different directions that can be used.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,

    I hope you are enjoying reading about the past, I know it has opened the flood gates of wonderful memories for me! How about being able to buy penney candy for a penny, heck even some of the candy was 3 for a penny. Plus there were lots of choices! The soda was only 15 cents and it was in a bottle! How about the smell of hotdogs cooking over charcol, yum! Some of you will remember wearing kleenex on your head to church…….ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    This is wonderful and has given me a great idea for my DH. Last year he had chemo for colon cancer and now we have found it has spread to his liver. He is waiting for an operation. He is such a positive person and I thought maybe I could make him a little gift with healing scripture in so he can keep it on him.
    Thank you for the inspiration.
    you have done such a super job on it. I love how it is presented in a little box.

    First off today’s project was wonderful–I love it and learned the use for somethhing new–THANKS.
    When I was a kid I roller skated 3 times a week: on Thurs. nights, Saturday afternoon, then Saturday nights (until I started dating).
    I was skinny as a rail, and no wonder, running and playing and skating all the time.
    I started skating when I was 5—you learn quickly with skinned up knees. Ha

    More childhood memories: I remember having time to “play”. My grandchildren are so busy with scheduled activities they don’t seem to have time to play on their own. As children, we played for hours in our yard, pretending we were elves, or movie stars, or lost children, or something else. We fashioned houses among the trees. We had lots of fun playing in the hay in my friend’s barn and loved to look for wildflowers and wildlife in the woods. Life was more simple then and so much more enjoyable.ReplyCancel

    Becca, another beautiful project. Thanks for your ongoing inspiration.

    I do have a question. How do you attach your bows to the cards if you are not actually tying them on? I’ve tried a couple different adhesives, but the bows just seem to pop back off.

    OOPS, forgot a memory. We grew up in what was a “young” neighborhood at the time so there were a lot of kids. We played games outside almost every single night in the summer – – – kick the can, hide and seek, starlight moonlight hope to see the ghost to night, etc. We also played softball for hours and hours at a time. This was a time when kids were not overweight. We rode our bikes and played hard each and every day outside. We had so much fun and seemed to get along most of the time. It is fun to think about the simpler times.ReplyCancel

    Becca…such a lovely idea. I have a “box” of “Our daily Bread” scriptures, but it’s always being spilled.. such a nicer alternative.ReplyCancel
