1. Print your Purse Card templates on cardstock and gather supplies. 

Be sure to set your margins as close to 0 as possible.
(Recommended supplies: small craft scissors, bone folder, glue runner)

There should be a total of 6 folds.
TIP: Using a bone folder will help you get crisp edges on your project.

5. Lay the bag flat, printed side down.
Fold up the tabs at the bottom of the bag, so that you can see the printing.
Apply Glue to the tabs on the printed side



6. Bring the side of the bag up and adhere the tab to the bottom of the bag.



7. Repeat on other side.



8. Lay the bag down, and apply glue to the last tab.



9. Attach the remaining side.
TIP: Insert your hand into the bag to ensure that all the tabs are securely attached.



10. Enjoy your Bag! You can fill it with all kinds of goodies or treats.

Share the Memories Freebie - photobox

NOTE: All of the Friday Freebies will now be MyMemories Suite Compatible.  What does that mean??? It means that you can now load the freebies directly into your MyMemories Suite Software, and then completely customize them with any paper and embellishments that you have.  If you don't have the software, don't' worry, you can still download the sample project and the elements, but you will not be able to customize your project.

Today's freebie is a photobox!  These make great gifts!  You can add pictures of families, individuals, or even special things into the frames!!!  

All you have to do is download and add photos, print, fold at the fold lines, and glue!! It's as easy as that!

p.s. Don't forget to use my code (STMMMS72517) if you buy the software! It will save you $10! :-)


Enjoy!!!

Photobox Tutorial
Using MyMemories Software to Customize your Flower Card

1. Download template file and install it into your software
2. Using MyMemories Suite, choose Create Album From Designer Template and find your project
3. Now you can add pictures, print and enjoy the provided template, or customize it with your own papers and embellishments.

TIP:
You can right-click on the white guide and lock it in place to keep it from moving while you are working. Make sure this is the top layer of your project before printing.

Instead of adding the paper as a background paper, you can add it as an embellishment so that you can move the paper around.  This is especially useful when using papers with stripes or circles, so you can decide which part of the paper you want to use.

Once it is added as an embellishment, you can now select the paper and move it into the position you want it.


Just SAVE and PRINT on cardstock!

Share the Memories ~ Freebie

This week (and next) the freebie is a bookmark!  And along with the freebie is a tutorial to tell you how to create your own using the MyMemories software.  These would make great gifts :-)


STEPS:  Open MyMemories Suite software and choose your album size (I chose 8.5 x 11 for a printable project).  Add the papers and elements you wish to use to create your own printable project (I made these Bookmarks), and when you are finished, click: SHARE ALBUM ====> EXPORT PAGES and save as a .jpg!  The new .jpg papers you created are now usable as stand alone printable projects to use and reuse anytime!  The Freebies enclosed are just samples of the printable projects you can make!  Just print, cut and use!  I just added a little ribbon fringe, and voila!!  What better little "extra" goodie when giving a book?  What about making these for your child's class?  Sunday School?  So many great uses - so easy and fun!



Remember, you can use these files in other programs.  Not that you'll like them as much as you would MyMemories, but you could use them elsewhere :-)

Today's freebie:

Share the Memories ~ Freebie

This week's freebie is a paper/background freebie.  Creating your own background papers is easy in My Memories software! Whatever you create can be saved as a jpg which means you can use it time and time again! All you have to do is export to jpg format and voila! you've created a background paper!  How fun and easy is that?!  Here are the steps, in case you need them:

STEPS:  Open MyMemories Suite software and choose your album size.  Add the papers and elements you wish to use to create your own digital paper, and when you are finished, click: SHARE ALBUM ====> EXPORT PAGES and save as a .jpg!  The new .jpg papers you created are now usable as stand alone papers to use and reuse anytime!  The freebie below is just a sample of digital papers that you, too, can make!  All of the elements used to create these two papers are included in this week's freebie - use them any way to want and create your own!

Please note that all of these are .png files only, not MyMemories Suite Templates. They are usable in any software and are for everyone!! This freebie includes  all of the papers and elements used in creating the above. The elements are.png and the papers are .jpg format. These Quick Pages will not autoinstall into the software itself, but are used by adding to your project as you would a photo, and then layering your photo behind the open box. From there you can add journaling, embellishments and more to truly personalize!! 

Have fun with your freebie! If you post about your creation, please leave a link to your post in the comments section so I can check it out.  Happy scrapping!
