I’ve really enjoy creating with the Americana collection. The rustic and traditional embellishments really do make it the perfect collection to use for any of your 4th of July decor.

I cut the stars out in various sizes using  patterned papers found in the Americana collection and my Silhouette.  Each star is scored, point to point to make them 3D.

Baby Shower Gift

We’re closing out our week featuring mini envelope projects. We’ve had lots of fun sharing them with you and hope you’ve found some inspiration. For our final feature, Designer Laurel Seabrook is showcasing a fun baby shower gift that she created using mini envelopes.

Mini Envelopes

Hi everyone, Laurel here.  I have a fun baby shower gift that I created for my daughter who is expecting a baby girl in September.  A few years ago I created a similar project for husband for our anniversary (a prepaid date per month) and my daughter really loved it.  She is not going to have a lot of extra cash so I thought she would be able to use anything to help her out.

I had this wooden box in my stash, picked it up at a garage sale.

I used some pattern paper from Garden Party to cover the box, then finished off the seams with some Washi Tape.  As a final touch I added a journal card and sticker to the front.

Inside are 12 mini envelopes.  One for each month, starting with September.  I will insert some gift cards (Wal-Mart, Drug Store, Grocery Store, Tim Horton’s etc.) inside each little envelope so that she will be able to either treat herself now and then, or purchase some much needed supplies.
I used some pattern paper from Garden Party to cover the box, then finished off the seams with some Washi Tape.  As a final touch I added a journal card and sticker to the front.
I just added bits and pieces from Garden Party and Special Delivery Girl to embellish the envelopes and then adhered a month sticker.

Mini Envelope Money Holder

Are you enjoying the fun mini envelope projects we’ve been sharing? Today Designer Samantha Taylor is joining us to share a fun mini envelope money holder. This project is great for birthday cards, graduation and fun summer gifts.

My nieces and nephews are starting to get older, so we often give them money for their birthdays.  We like to come up with fun ways to give them their money (last year we gave my nephew his all in nickles).  For my nephew’s upcoming birthday I wanted to make a money holder card that is a little bit different, so I came up with this mini envelope money holder.Mini envelope money holder via @samanthajt for @PebblesInc using the #BirthdayWishes collection. #graduation #birthday #card #handmade
I started by creating a card base that, instead of being folded in half, has a 1/4″ spine to it.  My card base measures 5 1/2″ x 8 3/4″ and is scored at 4 1/4″ and 4 1/2″.  Then I folded my card and decorate the front of my card just like I would any card, using the super fun new Birthday Wishes collection.

The inside is where this card really gets different.  I grabbed 5 mini envelopes, scored those envelopes at 1/4″, and then attached the 1/4″ score area to the 1/4″ spine of my card.

I attached 5 envelopes in all to card.  You could do less envelopes than that, but I wouldn’t suggest doing more.  I used some stickers and die cut shapes to decorate the front sides of the mini envelopes, and put money inside each of the envelopes.  To make this extra fun, you could put different denominations in each envelope.  Alternately, you could stuff the envelopes with love notes, movie tickets, or IOU coupons.  Mini envelope money holder via @samanthajt for @PebblesInc using the #BirthdayWishes collection. #graduation #birthday #card #handmade
Because this card is thicker than a normal card, I’ve created a special box envelope for this card.

Today, American Crafts announced the purchase of industry leader We R Memory Keepers. We’re excited to join forces with such a well-known, respected brand and look forward to continued use of their innovative tools and incredibly popular albums.

We know you will be interested in learning more about this exciting development and are including the press release issued today.

Related News Release 

OREM, UT – June 17, 2014 – American Crafts is pleased to announce its acquisition of We R Memory Keepers. The move brings together two industry leaders and provides retailers and crafters with the best variety of scrapbooking, papercrafting and DIY products.

We R is an innovator of crafting tools that simplify and enable the creative and memory keeping process. We R also offers premier albums, storage solutions and the Lifestyle Crafts-brand of die cutting and letterpress products.

Sarah DeVoll, president of American Crafts, says that the company intends the We R brand to operate long-term, expanding on its superb track record of product innovation. Many of We R’s outstanding employees will remain with the brand and will continue to develop and innovate under the We R brand.

“This is an exciting new chapter in the history of American Crafts and We R Memory Keepers,” says DeVoll. “We’re very happy to have We R join forces with AC – working together we will be able to provide a broader assortment of top-quality products, a stronger method for innovation, and more convenient one-stop shopping for our customers.”

Wayne Mitchell, CEO of American Crafts, says that previous owner Andrew Hiller ran an innovative company that is an important part of the scrapbooking and crafting industry.

“For more than 90 years, Andrew, his family and team did a great job of building We R into a company that makes unique and creative products,” says Mitchell. “We look forward to decades more of success with the We R brand.”

Mitchell adds that American Crafts is committed – just like it’s been with all of the companies it has acquired – to maintaining the distinctive look and quality of We R’s product offering.

For the foreseeable future, We R will continue to independently operate while thoughtful integration of the two companies takes place. Future announcements to retailers will explain any changes in ordering or processes. The continued use of We R’s quality suppliers for leather albums and quality crafting tools will mean that crafters and retailers should expect the same amazing products We R has always been known for.

Hiller says the sale of We R to American Crafts will benefit customers for years to come.

“We R wouldn’t join forces with anyone but American Crafts. Their character and quality standards are unmatched,” says Hiller. “We R can’t wait to be part of the team.”
