Supplies

• One Sheet of White Card Stock - Michaels Recollection Brand $0.59 at Michaels.  Or White smooth card stock from Hobby Lobby - $0.49
• One stamp for the background - I am using a Rose from the $2.00 bin at Michaels
• One or Two colors of DYE Ink. Look in the Michaels $1.00 bin for Dye Ink it does exist from StuidoG.  I am using Memento Dew Drops in Lilac Posies & Tuxedo black. Purchased the 12Piece pack from Hobby Lobby
• One or Four sentiment stamps - For these cards i used the "Card Statements" Clear Stamps from Stampabilities, sold at Hobby Lobby $9.99 for 12 statements (this is a great way to use the %40 off coupon.)  In the Michaels $1.00 bin you can find Hello & Thank you.  Great buys.
• A pair of Scissors or a paper trimmer.

I optionally show you how to make a banner using scrap paper and a punch this is optional but if you have one you can certainly use it.

New Cards - Quick & Easy

I have an awesome set of new cards for you today.  These cards are super quick to make.  You will need the following supplies to make these cards:

1. Base Card Stock  - cut to 4" x 5 1/2 ".  This is a single layer piece of base
2. Card Stock  - Cut 8.5" x 11" to 4.25" x 7.25" and fold in half.  A much easier way would be to purchase value pack card stock from Michaels.
3. Ink - I used Memento Dew Drop Packs from Hobby Lobby (purchase using your 40% off coupon.  Colors i used were: Sweet Plum, Tuxedo Black, Caribbean Blue & Paris Dusk
4. Stamps - I used stamps from the Michaels $1.00 Bin for the "Hello How Ya Doin'" card and a stamp from Stamping Buddies in Cincinnati from Brandy "Daily Bread Designs" The Cala Lilly and sentiment named Praying for You.  The scripture in this most closely matches the NWT
5. Paper Trimmer or scissors - I use the Fiskars trimmer
6. Envelopes to send your cards 
7. My video, some great music and treats and about 30 min of time.

I really think you will love these cards.  Nothing too fancy but very gratifying.  The video will show you lots of basic card making skills  so enjoy!  These are great card to make when you are teaching others.  Bring in the kids for a super fun family event. Maybe you can make a set of cards as a family to invite others to join you in family worship!  

Enjoy the Video

Hello all - as promised here is the uploaded video for making envelopes for 4x4 cards made in the last video.  This set of instructions will require the following tools:

2. paper trimmer

3. score board

4. adhesive

I will make another video on how to make envelopes without a score board.  Enjoy!

4 note cards out of 1 piece of cardstock

Since creating gifts for the JW International Convention I have been spending more time on paper crafting.  My latest obsession is card making.  This craft can get expensive but can be done economically and fun. I have created my first YouTube video! yeah me! and i am just all excited.  For this project you will need the following

• 1 12x12 sheet of card stock - you can buy a pack or just a few sheets in the single sheet paper sections of michaels, joann's and hobby lobby.
• 1 background stamp.  My butterfly or moth not sure which one, came from Michaels $1 bin.  It is perfect for these 4x4 cards
• 1 or more Ink pads in your favorite color to stamp your card.  You can also buy StudioG INK from the $1 bin at Michaels, Joann & Walmart.  StudioG Inks take time to dry, so don't load up your stamp with too much ink
• A Paper trimmer or ruler & scissors.

Puzzles for the delegates

I made these jigsaw puzzles with simple tools.  1st i created a template in powerpoint.  The puzzles are small 5.5 x 8.25.  Supplies needed:

1. Blank Puzzle Piece.  I purchased 12 for very cheap here
Rectangle Blank Puzzle (12-pack) Instructional Fair            http://smile.amazon.com/dp/0742403920/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_BZ6Ntb0AGFFZXC2P

2. The Template located HERE

3. Iron on transfer - I paid $4.00 with my 40% off coupon from Hobby Lobby - you could also go to Joann or Michaels

4. An Iron with a high cotton setting.  Do not set it to the max as it will burn the transfer.  My iron went from 1 - 6, and i used an old cheap iron, i set it on 5 and ironed on the transfer in a hard circular motion for about 45 - 60 seconds

5. a hard surface and something to protect our surface.

6. One Spay Can of Mod Podge Super Hi-Shine Clear Acrylic Sealer - Spray 3 coats let the spray dry in-between coats

And Viola that's it.  It's pretty easy and a fun project.  Turn on some kingdom melodies and have the girls over or kids and have a good time!
