Today, you just came from Cathy Caines and next is Connie Collins, but before you come check out my Peachy Keen card and brag book! Cathy mentioned something about an e-cutter last week, so I am bringing it to ya this week!
I got an e-cutter FINALLY! Then on a stampin/scrapin weekend away with friends, I was able to get it out of the box and start playin with it! It is SOOOO FUN! My brain just started running with ideas! I followed a few fellow Artisan's e-cutter videos and BOOM I had it! I added the MDS Nifty Fifty state punch of Georgia to my library first. Then I was able to enlarge the punch to around 4". I cut it out of Whisper White cardstock. You could do this with any state, but Georgia fit the "peachy" part well.
Here is something I found out, the Chervon Bordor Punch is the same as the Essential Wooden Elements chevron pieces. I just had to trim with my paper snips a bit to get the exact length. I wish you could get more of those wooden chevron pieces in bulk! LOVE THEM!
BONUS PROJECT:
As soon as I saw this stamp set Peachy Keen, I pictured this little brag book for a little summer adventure coming up. I used my sweet friend Corinne's tutorial to make the clear envelope brag book. You can see her tutorial HERE. Super easy to make and such a great idea for a quick mini scrapbook! I have used it SEVERAL times!
I also stamped a bunch of extras from the Peachy Keen stamp set and cut them out. Now when we get back from our trip later this year, I can add some elements and journaling to the printed photos. Did you see that I cut the Essential Wooden Element? I cut the banner piece in half! Use the craft scissors or heavy duty scissors to cut. I put some Chocolate Chip Marker on the end to make it look like it was never cut.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you!
I promise the e-cutter is worth it and not as scary as it seems!
