I've wanted these the moment they came out but had to wait until the price came down.

Coke/Sprite/Pepsi/7UP Can & Chipboard Cards!

Here are a few of my coke can cards. I have more but can't find the pictures yet! I cut these with the steel rule dies, like Sizzix Originals, Bigz, AccuCut Zip'eSlim, Ellison AllStar and the commercial AccuCut and Ellison dies. 

QuicKutz and Sizzlits are NOT steel rule and not recommended to even try with those dies.

I use eyelets and Tiny Attacher staples to attach the metal to the recycled chipboard that I got when I worked at a fast food place. This chipboard separated the little sauce tubs. 

I first rinse the cans out well, use a craft knife to slit the can from top to bottom  on the side that has all the writing on it and use kitchen shears to cut the top and bottom off.

My First Feed/Seed Bag Tote!

FINALLY made my first tote bag from a feed bag, this one is from a bird seed bag that my friend Diane gave me a couple of months ago.

I used the directions from Rebecca Nickols Chicken Feed Sack Tote blog post. I checked out a bunch of directions, but Rebecca's was the best I found.

Next time, I won't wash the bag in the washing machine, makes it very wrinkled!  

I have a horse feed bag ready to go, that will be next. Another friend reminded me this week that she had plenty more and I'd better get busy making bags!

Here is one that I made in January 2015 for the Peepology 2.0!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I was passing by a sign that said YARD SALE. Checked it out and got a paper making kit for $2.

This is the first paper I made when I got home.

I used the red and pink shown and some white. Should have just stuck to red! Thought maybe I'd get a dark pink. I'd been thinking about making paper for my cards and scrapbooking for TEN years. Finally made some! I have some tan about ready to take off the screen in a little while.

 

And here is the tan! This one is thinner than the red, I'm getting better at this! It is hard to judge how many scraps, the instructions say use 4 or 5 sheets of paper. I'm not only using cardstock but teeny tiny scraps of cardstock!

And here is a card made with the red! I need to try and get one that shows the texture of the tulip better. It is a very simple card but I just wanted to use the handmade paper AND get a card finished while it was still World Cardmaking Day!
