CTMH True Fit Folios

I like to scrapbook each school year for the kids. I also like to save their awards and some of there school work that they made during the year. The True Fit Folios are perfect for that! The folders fit perfectly in the 12x12 page protectors. So I just added them to the end of each school year in their scrapbooks. It works so much better then having them stored away in a box in the closet. I covered them with the Grade School stack from DCVW and I used the Locker Talk Cricut cartridge. The True Fit Folios can be purchased on my on my website.













CTMH Monogram Stamp Cards

A friend of mine recently signed up to be a CTMH consultant, so to welcome her to our team I made her a set of monogram cards. I had scraps from the La Bella Vie papers so I made the cards with some of the pink papers and added them to some polka dot paper I had. I found a great tutorial for the card box from Splitcoaststampers. Click HERE to see tutorial.

Criss Cross Cards

I had so much fun making these criss cross cards. They're so fast and easy to put together. I used the paper packs Surf's Up, Clair, and Later Sk8er.






For the Surf's Up card I placed a little photo mat so you could attach a photo.
 

 





Here's the video tutorial by Katherine Skipper:

Footloose Swap Item

For one of my swap items, I made a little bag using the retired footloose paper pack from CTMH. I used the stamp sets surfs up, kick back, and the footloose workshop set. I then filled them with gummy candies that are in the shape of sliced lemons and I put a Crystal Light packet in each of them. I also found cute flip flop key chains that I attached to the handle.




Here are the instructions for creating the gift bag: 

Cut your card stock to 10 1/4 x 4 1/4
 

Score the bottom at 1in. 
 

Then turn paper and score at 1in. and 4 5/8.

 


Then turn again and score at 1in. and 4 5/8.
 
 


Fold on all score lines and cut the lower left corn square completely out. Then cut all bottom score lines to the top score lines. Where the X's are shown, that's where you place the adhesive. 



Then you fold and put the box together. 



Set a side and cut your designer paper to 3 1/2 x 3 (that's for the front of the bag). For the handle cut at 5/8 x 9 1/2. If you'd like a shorter handle just cut it shorter than the 9 1/2. 



Attach the designer paper to the front of your bag. Then take your strip of paper for your handle and attach it to the sides of your bag using brads.



And your done! Now you can add stamps and embellishments :) Hope you enjoy! Thank you Chic n scratch for the tutorial.
