Zutter Projects

Class this Friday evening…

September 27, 2011 By JulieK

You heard right :) There’s going to be an extra special class this Friday evening at Ink About It in Westford… The store is usually not open on Friday evenings, but they are going to be open specifically for my class!!! There’s still some space, give the store a call and let them know that you want to come!!!

The book is in a “smash” style… The “Smash” books are sold out everywhere, and this is my take on it… I’ve never actually seen a Smash Book in person, but I couldn’t resist making my own little version of it… I had a “plan” for what it would look like, and then it got away from me :) It uses Simple Stories patterned paper, Zutter Acrylic tab pages, chipboard pages, plain pages (that we’re going to stamp) and even pockets!!! I had so much fun making this book, and I hope everyone will love it as much as I do! Here’s a peek at the cover and a little bit of the inside :)

Here’s an inside page, you can see one of the pockets…

Here’s the back of the pocket page and a chipboard divider…

Class is just $25, if you have a Zutter Bind it All, you can bring it, if not, no worries!! I’ll have mine :) Everything will be ready to assemble!! Give the store a call and reserve your spot today!!

This Thursday evening, I’m teaching this super fun Zutter book at Ink About It in Westford, MA… Take a peek, and call the store if you’re interested in taking the class!!! It uses the 8×10 clipboard wood covers, and is in a “Smash Book” kind of style. How adorable are those Fancy Pants patterned papers???

Here’s a preview of the cover…

And one of the inside pages…

The only thing that’s a little bit tricky to see, is that the long strips are folded in half, then wrapped around the page, leaving a little tab hanging off the side. Then the long strips are added to the inside edge of the page.

Made for Monday!

Yeah!! In this installment of Made for Monday… I have 2 major things :) First is the little table gifts that I made for this past weekend’s Anniversary Crop for the wonderful croppers who came to celebrate 1 year at Late Night Croppers!! I made these little hand sanitizer containers, and matching post-it note holders… When I finished them, I realized that they would make a cute little gift for the teachers at the kids’ school… So, I made them in a “teacher” version too :) They are super easy to make, but I think that they are also super cute!!

Here’s the version I made for Late Night Croppers (papers are My Mind’s Eye)… The post-it holders are the little acrylic frames, so they sit on the table at a little angle…

Here’s a side view of the hand sanitizer… You can kind of see how it works… there’s a little piece of velcro holding the flap shut, so it can be opened and closed easily…

And, the teacher’s version… Instead of hoarding this BEAUTIFUL Studio Calico paper, I actually used to to make gifts!!! I may have to purchase more just so I CAN hoard it ’cause I love it so much :) I’m using the apple paper (that goes with the line) for the kids’ main teachers’ gifts in addition to these… I’ll post pics when I’m done… Needs to be soon ’cause their last day is Friday :)

The original idea for the Hand Sanitizer container came from one of my favorite blogs… Dawn’s Stamping Thoughts… BUT, of course, my hand sanitizer was a different size… So, the dimensions etc are completely different… took some trial and error, but I love how they came out!!

And… I have the July Zutter Book for the next class at Ink About It in Westford all done!! It uses the fabulous “Liberty” line by Bo Bunny… But, it’s not necessarily a 4th of July book… Could be used for any fun pictures!!! It uses cover-alls :) Here’s a sneak peek of the front cover… Give the store a call if you want to join in the class!! You don’t need to have your own Zutter machine, I always bring mine :) New people are always welcome!

and a little side view of the little pinwheel…

Whew! That’s about it for now… Still have a bunch of projects to finish up… but making some headway!!

Today’s installment of “Made for Monday” is a preview of my upcoming Zutter Class at Ink About It in Westford!! We’ll be making this fun 8×8 Summer themed book THIS THURSDAY!! June 9, starting at 6:30pm. If you’re interested, please call the store asap to get on the list! The cover is acrylic, and the back is white chipboard… The inside pages fold out… It uses (super fun) Echo Park patterned papers!!! Here’s the cover… I took the picture outside, so ignore the “tree glare” on the acrylic :) It’s really clear, with the fun stickers on the cover…

When you open the front cover… All the pages have one side that opens out…

and the next side, opens from the middle…

There’s lots more pages, but you’ll have to come to class to see them all!!! Hope to see you Thursday!!!
