Anna Griffin Mix and Match Embossing Folders Storage Solution

Anna Griffin Mix and Match Embossing Folders Storage Solution


I struggled to find a storage solution that works for me with the Anna Griffin Mix and Match Embossing Folders. The removable plates fit perfectly in the Totally Tiffany Edna - EZ2O Buddy Bag from The Scrap Rack. I have been searching for a way to store these small plates for over a year now. I just by chance put them in the Edna - EZ2O Buddy Bag usually used for ribbon and they fit perfectly.

Washi Tape Storage Solution

 Washi Tape Storage Solution I am so happy most of my washi tape is in storage.  I used Totally Tiffany Shelly EZ2O Buddy Bag from The Scrap Rack.  As you can see below these Washi tape bags fit in the Iris container (pictured left) and the Creative options containers (pictured on the right).

      Painted Mason Jars For Fall

      Decorated Mason jars For Fall Please read the Instructions below: You place the vinyl on the outside of the jar. You paint your jar. Letting the paint dry for each layer. Then when the jar is dry add varnish. Letting the varnish dry between each layer. Remove vinyl after the jar has dried completely. I used an X-acto knife to cut around the vinyl shape then peeling it off the jar. I used Waverly Chalk Paint. Then sealed it with Waverly clear matte varnish. The paints and varnish can be purchased at Walmart. 2 different techniques were used with each jar. The jar with the maple leaf was painted with a solid color paint. The jar with the acorn I applied several layers of paint to distress it. Giving it a more woodsy feel to it. I used the dry brush technique to apply 3 different colors of paint onto the jar with the acorn. The candles are battery operated. I'm in the process of making tags and die cuts to hang on the jars.
      Happy Crafting!!
