Quick and Easy Cardmaking

Make quick and easy cards using scrapbooking paper packs.

There are so many fantastic paper collections available with coordinating patterns that help you take the guesswork out of matching designs.

Project Designed by Lorrie McCullers

To make a quick and easy card:

• Choose a theme using a fun paper collection
• Start with a plain white card as your base

• Cut a decorative strip of paper for the top section of the card (approx. 1/4" shorter than the width of the card base). Adhere the decorative strip onto the white card with a double-stick tape runner.
• Cut a second coordinating piece of paper and adhere to the lower section of the card.

• Cut the third pattern as a border strip to adhere to the front of the card.  
• Next, cut a small piece of decorative paper to fill in the gap between the top and bottom pieces.

• To finish up the card, punch a 2" circle from a fourth coordinating pattern from the paper collection. Add an adhesive foam dot to the back of the circle for added dimension. 

You've created a quick and easy card that can be sent to anyone for all occasions.

Wintertime Crafting

Holidays with all the parties and family gatherings bring a lot of opportunities for photos. By New Years Day you've got a fair amount of pictures. To get those photos off your phones/cameras and into albums, you need a plan.  

Design team member Lorrie McCullers is a scrapbooker and loves using her Deflecto Stackable Caddy Organizer to get her supplies in order. Lorrie says, "I'm not a winter person, so in winter I spend my time indoors working on my crafts at home and crops."  The Deflecto Stackable Caddy Organizer is perfect for both. You can put tons of tools and supplies in the containers, and you don't have to worry about anything falling out, thanks to the snap-tight lids. The caddies stack together and stay together with the lift and lock handles. You can have it sitting right beside you at the craft table, at home or pop them into the car and take them to the nearest crop.  

If you love to stamp and color and have a lot of markers, you can use the Interlocking Marker Organizer in place of one of the caddy containers to hold your markers. This organizer has rubber inserts that will hold different sized markers. Thick or thin, the markers all fit into the Interlocking Marker Organizer.

Lorrie's not kidding when she says she has all of her supplies in her stackable caddies. She fills her caddies with scissors, inkpads, adhesives, ink sprays, paper punches, and embellishments. Lorrie takes her caddies to every crop and never has to unpack the supplies when she gets home. It's ready to go wherever she wants to work.  

No need to hunt for supplies, they're all in the caddies!

Holiday Hostess Gift Idea

The Holiday Season is here which means two things: gift-giving and parties!

If you're struggling for ideas, design team member Lorrie came up with the perfect solution for a practical gift that any hostess is sure to love. 

Lorrie created a Coffee Station using the Deflecto 3 drawer Organizer.

It's an easy gift to put together that is sure to please even the pickiest party host. The drawers in this unit are just the right size for K-Cups and all the things a coffee lover needs. Lorrie filled the top drawer with assorted K-cups, the second drawer with single-serve creamers and the bottom drawer with sweetener and disposable spoons. The host can set this out at the party next to her single-serve coffee maker and let guests help themselves.

Sharing Kindness

It only takes a moment to share a little kindness.

Inspired by World Kindness Day coming up on November 13th, Design Team Member, Lorrie McCullers used the Interlocking Stacking Towers to create blessing boxes to be handed out in her community. Blessing boxes are kits that provide essentials for those in need.

The Deflecto Interlocking Stacking Organizer comes with three individual containers and six interlocking lids. The great part about these containers is that they can be put together in a variety of configurations and different sized items. The lids and containers lock together so that you can create an organizer that is perfect for anything you want to put into your blessing containers.
