14 Days of Valentines - Day 9

****OOOPS, Sorry, forgot to hit publish so this is yesterday's project!

For Day 9 of the 14 Days of Valentines, we have some thing that's the same but different!

I love origami that's easy, so here goes! Start with a paper 4.25" x 8.5"

Fold in both sides to the center. Crease well.

From the top, fold down 2". Crease well.

Flip the paper over to the other side. Fold the top corners down to the center. Crease well.

Flip the paper back to the other side. It should look like this.

Fold the top point down to the back. It should create a small pocket.

Here's a side view with the point on the other side and the pocket formed.

At the top, snip at the center point about one third down.

At the top, fold the corners in on each side. Crease well.

At the bottom, fold in each corner to the center. Crease well.

Roll the paper and tuck the bottom point into the pocket.

Slip in a napkin. This is the matching napkin ring for your chopstick holder. See, same but different!

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you had a wonderful weekend!

14 Days of Valentines - Day 2

Welcome Back! It's Super Bowl Sunday, which for me means a great time to craft. Occasionally, I watch the game and cheer for a team but usually I just like watching the commercials! LOL!

So, for Day 2, I'm sharing a project that Beth from Mapunapuna Ben Franklin Crafts will show you how to make on tonight's Joy of Crafting Show. I call it the Framed Scripted Heart.

Beth created her own heart cut out to use as a stencil. She placed it over the black cardstock and used a white ink pen to write words of love in the cutout area. When she removed the stencil, it left a wonderful scripted heart. For a special effect, she re-traced the words in Glossy Accents to make the heart standout even more.

What a great idea for anytime of the year, not just Valentine's day.
