Hi there blog friends!! I have another blog post coming later today but wanted to scoot in here this morning to let you know the winner of the Clear Cases from TapeOnLine. Thank you for sharing information about the tools you want to make better use of – I hope to have tutorials geared towards your requests. In the meantime, there were over 775 entries – yes, the clear cases are a popular item!! I just purchased some myself and have just finished putting my dies away. My collection has expanded and I can no longer keep them on my table but they are within arms reach, so I’ll have an update to my original organization post some time in June, after I’ve finished labeling new dies. Without further ado, here’s the winner. Please reach out to me within the next 48 hours through the contact tab at the top right side of my blog. All you need to do is leave me your name and mailing address so that I can pass it along to the TapeOnLine folks!
 
Again, here are the items generously offered by TapeOnLine (Thanks!!!)
Thanks so much for participating and thanks to the blog candy sponsor TapeOnLine for the generous offering.
Good morning blog friends. We’re back with another peek at one of the new Waltzingmouse Stamps sets – this one is called Country Labels Four. I’m absolutely intrigued with this set for its charm and for it’s simplicity. In my small tiny house when we have guests, we have a couple of rituals we follow. They have a basket of toiletries and towels waiting in their room and then in the dining room we have a chalkboard plate on an easel and we write “Welcome” and the guests names. It’s a tiny touch and and it’s so out of place because it sounds like something you’d find at a huge lodge or a bed and breakfast and I think we do it to poke fun of our little abode. I can’t tell how many times our guests gush over those little touches. All that to say that I think I’ve found something to add to the ritual – a card to put at their place on the table…… This has to be one of the most simplest I’ve done this year. It has to be an easy, quick do if it is to get done when guests are expected . . . Me thinks I have this one down to 10-15 minutes ;-)
For this card I’ve simply used a border punch around the edge and it leaves a solid panel in the center. On top of that I layered Spellbinders® Ornate Squares. If you’re curious about how to punch the panel, I have a tutorial on Border Filled Frames and it will explain how and the size of paper needed. If you’re curious about how to make the filigree on both the front side and the backside of an oversized card base, then check out my tutorial on Hinged Filigree Cards – except this uses a punch instead of a die template.
So to recap the layers I used from the bottom up, I started with a 4″ x 6-1/2″ card base, foam tape (optional), black matting layer 2″ x 4-3/8″, brown matting layer 1-7/8″ x 4-1/4″, foam tape (optional), Ornate Squares die cut, foam tape (optional), brown layer 1-5/8″ x 1-5/8″. The same layers are done on the inside of the card. Attach ribbon and sentiment on the appropriate layer.
Don’t forget to peek in on the other ladies to see how they spun this set today. Also don’t forget, I have some pretty cool blog candy that’s up for grabs until Wednesday, May 29th. Still feeling lucky? Good! Click ———>HERE to get to the post where you need to leave a comment or simply scroll back to my post of May 24th. Hugs to you, hope you had a fabulous holiday!!
A veterans daughter, a veterans sister, a veterans wife . . . this is my legacy and the brave men who allowed me that legacy, I celebrate and remember today. I honor their memory with such pride and thankfulness. In addition, I honor the memory of all the fallen who gave their lives so that we might have freedom and I honor all those who have served. They are your brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and husbands too – my heartfelt gratitude to them all. I guess it was befitting that the release includes a patriotic set of stamps that I could use to reflect those feelings – honestly I have very few of those types of stamps and it felt wonderful to put these to a good use.

BECCA, Just a quick question…I follow you on Pinterest and every where else I can find you..(and no I am not a stalker, just a crafter) but I was wondering when you have such great deals like this on the DVD cases is there any way you can put this on your Pinterest Page under craft organization?…I don’t have any way to reference this and I forget…so it easy to go to your site, pin it to my wish list, then purchase when I get my ck…thank you, Becca….blessings, victoria
Victoria, thank you so much for your comment. I’m in the process of updating my storage and have a post planned in June 2013 to show how I have things set up. I’ll be sure to post this under organization so that the link is readily accessible to all. I hadn’t thought about putting it on my pinterest page, but thanks to you, I will!!
