Creating with memorabilia

My brother had gotten me a bunch of Starbucks stickers and I've been collecting their coffee cup sleeves so I decided to "create" projects with them all.  First time making a layout with just memorabilia and no pictures, it was fun! Try it yourself with items you've collected from vacations or around the house.

The above gift card holder I made using the largest pocket die in Winter Wishes set. Before I adhered the sides to make the pocket, on the right, I attached a "handle", then taped shut.  The handle was made with nesting circles.

Did you know??

You can cut felt with Lifestyle Crafts dies!  Felt flowers are becoming a thing right now so DIY with the help of Nesting Flowers and Leaves by Lifestyle Crafts.  I made this pin cushion with inspiration from Better Homes & Gardens and made the scallop edge inside the box by cutting out with felt.  I'm starting to get quite the collection of pins as they are a big thing to add to layouts and cards so needed a cute little holder at my desk.

The new Sweetheart Release dies are perfect for recipes!  I do a monthly recipe class and for February some of the new dies were just what was needed!

Windows

To change up the look of the boxes and bags die cuts that Lifestyle Crafts has, I create a "window".  You can do this by first cutting out the bag or box, then place a nesting die on the cut out die and run through the machine again, or do it this way.
Take the bag/box you want and using removable scotch tape, position the nesting die on the bag/box die where you want the cut out to be:

Then place your paper and run through the machine as usual and you will have this in one cut:

Fast and easy!!

Here is the finished box I made.  Will be a Class Kit to Go available at the store.

Another die...

that makes a unique gift holder!!  The pizza box die by Lifestyle Crafts is awesome to hold lots of stuff.  You can make a note pad holder, put a large cookie in it or fill with candy. This one I made is holding a cute pair of earrings and a pin for Nana ~ get creative with one today!!
