Flipping Fifty Birthday Card

 

Hello Zutter Fans!  Cheryl Boglioli here with a fun quick and easy birthday card.  I have a dear friend turning 50 this week.  Many of us hate those big numbers and as we age, we realize we still don’t feel like the numbers represented. 

I thought creating a flip chart with numbers was a fun and clever use of some Zutter O-Wires.

I stamped Just Rite Numbers on black cardstock squares with Versamark and embossed them with ClearSnap Mix’d Media Inx in Jasmine. 

Of course I needed to add some distressing to this Flipping Fifty birthday card, so I used the Distrezz-It-All to distrezz the edges of the flip cards as well as the embossed card front.

My flip cards are 1.5” x 2”.  The 1.5” width was the perfect fit for 3 punched holes.  I lined the cards up between the halfway mark and the inner ridge mark as you see above and punched each flip card.

I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue down my O-wire to the card front embossed layer and covered with ribbon. I then carefully pinched the O-wires only partially closed with my hands.   Now they can be changed to be any age she wants.  0-9 on each side are included!  I’ll have to make her another when she turns 100!

Here is a better close of the card front put together with the extra embellishments.

And here is the inside of the card!  I printed this on my printer and cut out the label using my Spellbinders Label 8. 

O-Wires can be used for more than binding albums.  What is something original you’ve done with your O-wires.  Share here and on the Bind-It-All Facebook page so that we can see.

Menu Planner on Display

Hello Zutter Fans.  Cheryl Boglioli, from Cheryl’s Window, here again to share my Kitchen Menu Planner.   When we get really busy around here at my house, we find ourselves eating out much more than we should be, which kills our food budget.  So, my daughter and I have started back at planning our menus again. 

I wanted my menu planner to be on display and easily accessible, so I knew Zutter’s Display-It-All would be perfect.  

I went searching the web for a great weekly and a great monthly planner.  I found ones that I liked at Picklebums.  Kate has a lot of great ideas on her blog too. I downloaded her free copies and printed them so that they would fit in 4 x 6 Zutter Pre-punched Page Protectors. 

I dug out BasicGrey Nook & Pantry paper from my stash, which was the perfect color and theme for my kitchen project. 

I even used my BasicGrey Notch & Die set that I haven’t used in a while.  I love using products I already have.

I used the rounded die to create two notches on opposing corners to slide each week’s and each month’s planner card. 

I chose to use the Zutter Page Protectors to store the extra planners as well as a place to store the recipes for the week.  By using the page protectors, this also gave me a way to display whichever recipe we are cooking and protect it from any spills or splatters.  For that same reason, I chose to use a Zutter 6x6 Acrylic Cover to project my entire project.  If something does splatter on it, I can easily just wipe it off.   Since it is going to be in my kitchen, I did not add lots of ribbons or embellishments, although it was really hard not to.  I even wanted to decorate the base, but I know how hard it is to keep things clean and wiped down in my kitchen, so I kept it plain…for now.

I used Tim Holt’s Alterations File Tabs On The Edge dies to cut the page edges for my Recipe, Weekly, and Monthly tabbed pages.  

The extra planners are stored in Zutter Page Protectors behind the weekly and monthly file tab pages.

See how I can just slide in a new page each month? 

And, here is the back page.  I used Zutter Clipboard to provide a good sturdy back to my planner as I hope to use it for a long time.

The Display-It-All was easy to use.  Of course, I could have just rested the wires over the stand, but I decided to actually mount mine onto the display.  After punching the covers and pages, I used the Display-It-All bracket to mark where to punch and then punched holes using my Crop-A-Dile.  Then I inserted the O-wires and used my Bind-It-All to bind my album.  All I had left to do was screw the back cover between the display stand and the display bracket. 

The Display-It-All looks good on my kitchen counter and is not so large as to get in the way or clutter my countertop.  Now I need to go plan this month’s menu and this week’s grocery list.  Do you have any recipes you want to share with me?  Please do, if so. 

Because You Are Mom

Hi there again! It is Candice Elliott

back with another Zutter Bind-It-All

project for us all. I hope that

everyone had lovely Mothers Day.

Mine was spent with my husband's

family and it was just wonderful

time.

Since I was not able to see my

mother this year I wanted to

make something really special

for her. She had been asking for

pictures of us for a while now.

I wanted to find a way of

showcasing a number of pictures

to her while at the same time

share a few thoughts with her.

I put together a Frame Album and

that is what we are going to be

looking at today! 

To create this I simply created a very mini

album using the Clip Board Covers 3x4"

and 1/2" Silver Owire. I adhered the album

to the frame after putting on the Prima paper.

I used lots and lots of layers! Some of

these layers serve a purpose. When opening the

album some of the flowers hold the pages

in place while when shutting the album

does the same. Also if you take a look a

close look at the frayed flowers I used

the scraps from punching to create those flowers.

The little pieces also reminded me of

confetti. Nothing goes to waste with me!

All that I strive to be has a huge part

to do with my mother. The doctors told her

that if she tried having me that either she

would die, I would die, or the both of

us would die. She was in the doctors

office papers signed and all to have me

aborted but could not go through with

it. Well, as you can see they were

wrong. She did not give up. I am so

grateful for that moment in time.

The title mother definitely does not come easy

so I wanted to let her know that I know now!

Finally I wanted let my mother know that

she is a rare rose. The only one of

her kind and that she is loved more

than I can say. I LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Thank you all once again for

allowing me to share!
