Idea#2: Holiday Travel Journal

Holidays offers the perfect time for new adventures to add to your family's story. Create a Holiday Travel Journal to hold all your memories.

Instructions

  1. Start with 3 lunch size paper bags. Fold down the bottom flap on each bag. Fold bag # 1 so that the open end meets the edge of the bottom fold. Fold bag #2 in half. Fold bag #3 along the edge of the bottom fold and cut 2” from the open end.
  2. Lay bag #2 on top of bag #1 with the closed ends on the left. Lay bag #3 on top of bag #2 with the open end on the left. Fold along center creases to form the closed book.
  3. Cut a piece of cardstock the same height and about 1 ½” wider than the closed book (from step 2). Place the cardstock under the folded bags, lining up the right edge with the furthest right edge of the bags. Fold the left edge over the top of the bags. 
  4. Remove the cardboard and punch a few holes near the folded edge, going through both layers. Use the punched cardboard as a template to punch holes into the paper bags. Make sure all the holes line up by reassembling the book with the cardstock and pulling ribbon through each of the holes. It is easier to decorate the pages if you take the book apart again.
  5. Decorate the cover and pages with cardstock, patterned papers, stickers, and rubber stamps. Leave lots of open spaces for your journaling and don’t forget about the small spaces in the bottom flaps.
  6. Reassemble the book and tie together with the ribbons. Find the 3 pages made from the open ends of the bag and use the ATG 714 gun adhesive to glue the fold together along the top and bottom of the page. This will make a more secure pocket to slide a tag into. Make tags by cutting cardstock to fit into the page and decorating the edge to make a pull tab. Slide the tag into the page. Now your travel journal is complete and ready for your holidays!

Idea#3: Flower Shaped Note Card

Create a lovely flower-shaped note card to share your thoughts with 4 interlocking paper circles. This inventive design is also suited for a sweet party invitation or to wrap any small, flat gift such as a scarf, cd or gift certificate. Using only simple materials and very little time, this special blossom will be sure to Wow its recipient.
 

Instructions

  1. For the outer blossom, cut 6” circles from your decorative paper using the Olfa (CMP-3) Circle Cutter.
  2. With wrong sides up, fold each circle in half and crease. Unfold.
  3. With right sides up, overlap circles so that the creases form a square in the center. 
  4. Use ATG 714 Applicator to glue overlapping flaps in place.
  5. Repeat using 4” and 2” circles to create inner blossoms. Glue these in place in center of largest circle, turning each blossom for interest.
  6. Add center to blossom using contrasting color paper cut to 1 7/8” circle. Fringe circle using scissors. Glue in place. You may also attach a small sticker, button, ribbon trim, whatever you like to create a flower center.
  7. Add charms, stickers, ribbon, embellishments as desired.
  8. Write your message or invitation on the inside of the smallest blossoms.
  9. When complete, fold circles down towards center, alternately one on top of the other.
  10. Fold the fourth side down and insert behind the first circle to create an interlocked wrap. Seal with Mini Glue Dots 3/16", stickers, or other decoration as desired.
  11. For an interesting heart shaped envelope, create a single blossom using 6-1/4” circles. Fold and glue only 2 of the flaps to get the heart shape. Insert your note or invitation, seal, and mail. Please note: Only the larger size blossom envelope will be big enough to mail. The smaller sizes will not meet postal requirements.
