Alternate Project Idea Videos are Ready for the July 2016 What A Gem Paper

I did something new this month. I shared photos of my "outside the box" creations from the July 2016 What A Gem Paper Pumpkin kit BEFORE sharing my videos. And the feedback I got what good! So I may do that again next month, too.

My videos are now edited, uploaded to YouTube and ready to share. Yippee! So even if you saw the photos of my projects that I shared on Wednesday (click here to view them), you'll want to watch the videos now for tips, measurements and directions.

I have two videos: Parts 1 and 2. In the first one I share tips for reusing the gem boxes, the Christmas ornament, the Matchbook card and the 4 note cards. In the second video I share the 12×12 Scrapbook page layout, the Project Life page and the birthday box.

To see close-up photos of the projects I shared in the videos, CLICK HERE to see my July 27th post.

And here are a couple extra photos that I didn't share on Wednesday, because I either forgot them or I thought they wouldn't make sense until the videos posted.

The reusable box…

A great way to stamp lots of gems at once…

All 4 note cards together…

The back of the Christmas tree & how I cut my sail shapes from a triangle…

Making the graduation cap: Insert the thread into a hole (which gets covered by the gem)…

…and secure the thread on the side by making a very small notch to hook the thread…
