Project Recipe:
  • Kraft paper from Hobby Lobby used to make a 'Scrapalope' resembling an inner office twist tie envelope large enough to fit two A2 size cards and envelopes
  • Hobby Lobby Kraft Note cards used as base with a layer of black cover stock and a sheet of 7 Gypsies Off The Wall paper from the 6x6 stack.
  • StampersBest OWH Fundraiser stamp - My Country stamped using Memento dye ink in Tuxedo Black
  • 'Scrapalope' was made using one sheet of 8.5x11 inch Kraft paper (following Sarah's instructions - 3dogsand2kids on YouTube but adjusted to fit A2 size cards), scored at 3 1/4 inches on the 11 inch side, flipped and scored again at 3 1/4 inches on the 11 inch side.  The scrapalope flap is scored at 1 1/2 inches while the bottom at 1 inch.  Fold all score lines, trim off exterior 4 corners.  A video will be posted showing the step by step with a link later today.

    Natasha,
    I had a rather larger order of G45 stuff I was just getting ready to place. But decided to think it over and watch some U tube. I of course clicked on your vid. I've now decided that my money is better spent with Stampers Best. How can you not support a company who so generously supports our troops.
    Thank you so much!
