January Digi Release Day at CDS!


Hello Everyone!

Is everyone ready to get a little creative today?  I sure am!
We just got a covering of ice and that just makes me want to snuggle down and enjoy some crafting time!
.....................................................................
But first.......
Are you new to digis?
Well, if you are, here is a quick explanation.  You will buy and download a "zipped up" file.  You will unzip this file and receive all the images in jpg and png formats.  You will then pull those into a Word doc or picture editor and print, print, print.
Here is a little tutorial and FREE digi that will help you learn the ropes!
.....................................................................

First up this month, we have Deedee Anderson's new digi, From the Heart!  Deedee has been on leave for a few months for personal reasons, and we are happy to have her back this month with this adorable Valentine's digi!  I've really missed her....and I'm sure you have too!

Digis by Deedee Anderson


This little mouse Valentine set is so adorable!  I can't wait to make some of these up for my Sunday School kids!

This set is so versatile....you are going to love it!  You can make cards and crafts with the pre-assembled Tic Tac Toe boards or you can make blank boards and then cut out the images individually to create a play set for your favorite young person!

What's better yet?????

Every image (hearts, presents, etc.) is available in the rainbow of colors shown in the happy faces in the listing picture.  This set is just FULL, FULL, FULL of images to create a number of projects!

LATCH WRAP BOX

Good Tuesday Tutorial Morning to you. Lisa here.  Happy New Year.
Today I will show you how to make this
LATCH WRAP BOX
Using the adorable digis designed by Laurie Wilson
LOVING CRITTERS COLOR
(for the color image)

  LOVING CRITTERS 
(for the sentiment)




Start with your piece of cardstock 8 5/8 x 2 3/8 +1/16 I printed digi paper from the digi LOVING CRITTERS COLOR  onto white cardstock. 

Now Score and fold from left to right on the long side at 1 3/4, 2 1/2+1/16, 6 1/16, 6 7/8, 8 5/8

Place 2 glue dots on the bottom of the box and two on the top of the box (these will adhere but can also be pulled up without leaving much damage to the wrap) then wrap the paper wrap all around to the front. 

Now we are ready to make our latch. 

I printed out my image (I made sure it would fit in my 1 1/2" circle.......as you can see I cut out just part of it to fill the circle and see it better).  I then cut it out using the second from the smallest circle die in the Spellbinders large circles (not grands).  I then embossed it on the cuttlebug too!

To Make the Outter ring.......I just used the 3rd scallop circle from the smallest and the 2nd circle nestability from the smallest (spellbinders dies) put them inside each other and ran them through my cuttlebug then embosssed just the circle in the center. 

After cutting out your ring...flip it over and place dimensional tape pieces only on the top half!

Center the ring on the front and adhere. The dimensional tape should only be on the top half so it will open.

Take your small circle, flip over and place dimensional tape only on the bottom of the circle.

FRONT

LATCH OPENING

INSIDE
This is a Valentine Latch Wrap Box but you can do this technique with any small box for any occasion.
