#2497 05/17/07 Card #2497 Coaster School Pictures Book

#2495 05/16/07 Card #2495 This is a letter cut out, using chipboard and the CRICUT and Base Camp
4.5" set at REAL DIAL SIZE.


HERE ARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Use .030 weight chipboard
Cut the chipboard piece to 6”x12” to fit your mat
Set your blade depth to 6
Set the speed to the slowest setting
Set the blade pressure to the highest setting.

Tape down the edges of the chipboard onto the cutting mat, to keep it secure when cutting. Load the paper. Set the letter selection and size. Be sure to explore the “Real Dial Size” settings if you want the letter to be the ACTUAL size you desire. Each cartridge has its own specific settings according to the manufacturer’s layout of the cartridge. If the letter is small enough to fit the chipboard, you can cut a quantity of 2 letters at the same time. Two or more chipboard letters can be cut and glued together for a thicker look.

Press “Cut”. When the letter is finished, press “load paper” again. DO NOT press “unload paper”. Next, press “repeat last”. Then press “Cut” again. This will duplicate the same letter cut the first time. Press “load paper” again, then “repeat last” again, then “Cut” again. Do this a total of 3-5 times, depending on the sharpness of your blade and the thickness of your chipboard. Lastly, press “unload paper” and remove the cut letter. Sometimes excess fibers are attached. Just cut these with scissors or sand off with sand paper. A separate letter cut from scrapbook paper can be cut the same size as the chipboard letter and attached easily, to the chipboard, then decorated.

Use glue stick or Xyron glue to adhere the layers together. Burnish the layers of chipboard and paper to each other with a folding bone, pressing firmly to adhere them all securely. Sand the edges of the letter if desired and decorate.
#2492 05/09/07 Card #2492 This is a note holder made using 2 coasters. I cut off the ends of both so they would fit together snugly together, and then covered them both with longer paper.

The "N" letter is raised for dimension.
Something a little different this time.

The original idea was inspired by Desa Dugas from SCS Gallery.
#2491 05/09/07 Card #2491 Coaster Note Holder-Julie

The background paper is computer generated and the "J" Note pad is from Michael's.

Very simple design with preprinted chipboard heart and circle with bows at the corners.

Easel back holds the coaster upright.
#2490 05/08/07 Card #2490 Coaster Post it Note Holder

2 paper covered coasters. When accommodating the thickness of the post it pad inside, make sure you allow for the ribbon ties to be loose enough so it shuts without the front cover popping opened.

The Chipboard "N" and the chipboard flower are from Pizzazzill Creative Imaginations Blank Chipboard Numbers and Letters

"NOTES" word stamp is from Karen Foster Snap Stamps

The coaster book stays closed with a pink hair band.
#2489 05/08/07 Card #2489 This is the inside view. I thought a calendar inside would be useful. (Besides, I have a lot of them to use up!)
#2488 05/08/07 Card #2488 This is a top view of the front cover showing that I raised the chipboard "N" with two layers of double stick tape, along the outside edges of the shape to allow room for the hair tie to move about when opening and closing it.
#2487 05/08/07 Card #2487 When opened for use, the hair tie rests on the chipboard letter until it is time to close it up. Make sure everything is glued well in place for use with the hair tie closure so nothing falls off.


The original idea for the post it cover came from stampinselena on SCS.
#2486 05/07/07 Card #2486 Coaster Tea Box with divider inside.
