Tuesday Tutorial: Mini Paper Sack by Kathy

Hi! Kathy Martin here today with a tutorial on how to make the mini binder paper sac that I made for this teacher's card. 

To get started you will need some binder paper, regular scissors and mini pinking scissors, a corner rounder punch and some craft glue.

The first thing you want to do is cut off the left hand margin of your binder paper, just enough to remove the holes.

Next, cute the length of your paper to 4 1/2".

Now turn your piece of paper over and cut along the red margin line.

Keeping your piece of paper face down, make about a 1/4" flap on the left hand side.

Then fold your paper in half. Your margin should now be on top.

Next unfold your paper and apply a bit of glue along the flap to secure your bag shut.

Give your glue a few minutes to dry, then take your corner rounder and punch both bottom corners. If you don't have a punch, you could do this with a regular pair of scissors.

After you rounded the bottom corners, turn the bottom of your bag up 1/4", making sure the pink margin line is face down. This is the back of your bag.

Now apply some glue to seal the bottom of your bag.

At the top of your bag you are going to cut about 2/3 of the way down each side of your bag along the fold.

With both sides cut, you can now fold the top layer of the bag down about 1/2".

Along this folded line use a pair of mini pinking sheers to cut off the flap.

Lastly, cute the back part of the bag along the top, making diagonal lines at the sides. All done!

Now you can decorate your little bag with stamps as I did here. I used the new Doodlebug/Hampton Arts stamps sets - Thankful and Doodlepop Icons. You can also embellish your bag with ready-made accents. There's no limit to what you can do!

These little bags can also be used to hold favors for teachers and students. You can use these same steps to create bags using different kinds of paper for other themes, occasions and holidays.

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial and have fun making your own mini bags.

National Scrapbook Day Event with Stacy Julian

You've seen us posting pictures to our Facebook and an occasional reference to the fun time all of us at Doodlebug had on National Scrapbook Day. But for those of you that might have missed it or just want to check out some fun pictures and recap of how much fun we had, this post is for you. 

The day started with a live broadcast from our design studio to Big Picture Classes followers and Doodlebug Fans all over the world. We had thousands of people checking in during the broadcast, including scrappers from places like Egypt, England and Australia. 

Stacy featured one of her best students before our live broadcast. This darling student has been a Big Picture student since it launched and has taken enough classes to probably graduate by now!

Stacy and Cynthea have been long time friends and lovers of COLOR together. It was such a joy to create this fun event together!

Stacy couldn't do all that she does without her sidekick and BPC employee Wendy Smedley. And Cynthea took a minute to introduce Wendy Sue Anderson and explain that they were "Pee-Pals" years ago on Two Peas in a Bucket.

Remember this onsite "showroom" functioned as our STORE for the event. It did not exist two weeks prior to the National Scrapbook Day event, but thanks to some long hours and hard work of all the Doodlebug team they were able to build this beautiful store for the attendees to shop.

Great Doodlebug staff helped make shopping the Doodlebug store so much fun!!

Cynthea introduced her team, including her mother and her mom's twin sister, both longtime Doodlebug team members!

More introductions...Stacy and Cynthea introducing Mary Ann (accounting) and her sister Tonya who is one of the amazing Doodlebug designers.

 And one more introduction...Cynthea's son Joey who is the warehouse manager at Doodlebug.

Happy Mail Campaign was introduced by Stacy and Cynthea. We'll be featuring more about this soon on the blog and launching the ongoing program in July. But you never know, if you are a Big Picture class registered member you might be getting some happy mail in your mailbox one day!! 

Classes were taught during the workshop portion of our day by Cynthea, Wendy Smedley and Stacy Julian.

 

One of our darling students traveled to Doodlebug from Texas. Meeting Cynthea and visiting the Doodlebug offices were on her BUCKET LIST!!

The food was as colorful and yummy as everything Doodlebug!! Cynthea and her team did not miss a detail when putting together this fun day...all the way down to the sixlets candy treat that had all the great Doodlebug colors in it!

And we were lucky enough to have some of our local design team girls join us for the day as well. Wendy Sue Anderson, Tiffany Hood and Lori Allred loved being part of the fun activities!!

Whew! It was the best way to celebrate National Scrapbook Day...thanks to the amazing talents of both Stacy Julian and Cynthea they set the bar for the ultimate event! Maybe we can talk them into coming back again next year (wink)!!
