Desk Mobile Phone Holder Video

Uncategorized

19 Sep
Hello, Crafters.
I’ve had today’s project in my mind for quite some time but
 the time was never the right time to do it…………until
 now………….and I’m very pleased how it has turned out!
 When I made vide No.188 – Freestanding Post-It Note Holder 
Video, someone made the comment that it would be great
 to hold your mobile phone. I agreed but didn’t think too
 much about it until recently, when I had mine on my
 desk but minus the Post-It Note Pad. 

Without thinking, I put my phone in there, and it reminded 
me of the comment someone had made, so that was it! 
No time like the present, but I knew I had to do something
 different because I didn’t want to copy my previous video! 

It didn’t take too much to work out that the Post-It Note
 Pad, calendar and stylus/pen would all make good 
bed-mates. For my first attempt I made the unit 1/4″ wider
 but it didn’t achieve anything so I went back to the original
 size. The only problem I had was which Designer
 Series Paper (DSP) to choose.

 We have a terrific selection of DSP’s in the current 
catalogues although I knew I didn’t want to have anything
 that’s seasonal. For the first complete unit I made, I used
 Tranquil Tide Cardstock (CS) together with a beautiful
 design from Tranquil Textures DSP.

 I wanted designs that had non-specific designs, and this 
fitted the bill brilliantly. For the unit I made during the
 video I used Highland Heather CS, and chose a 
pinky/lilacy onyx design from Petal Promenade. 

I decorated both cards the same, but changed the colour
 scheme – the Tranquild Tide unit has Blackberry Bliss 
flowers, and the Highland Heather unit has Highland
 Heather flowers. The stamp set is called First Frost, and 
is available in Wood- or Clear-Mount, and has a set of
 co-ordinating dies called Frosted Bouquet. These products 
are available as a bundle, which saves 10% off the
 individual prices!
 (See the Autumn/Winter Catalogue page 37).

 I decorated the first unit using the Clear Faceted Gems, 
and I was going to use the largest-size Basic Rhinestones 
for the video unit. I decided against that idea because
 I found the stylus was well-supported by the Faceted 
Gem because it protruded a fair bit! 
 This morning I’m off to meet Vicki (my daughter) for coffee.
 We don’t get much of a chance to catchup with each other 
when we’re at Church nowadays, because she’s gone back to 
teaching the younger ones at Sunday school, so we’re going 
back to our coffee mornings! Then this evening, hubby and I
 are meeting up with my sister and brother-in-law, who 
are on a flying visit from Australia! So it’s definitely a 
no-crafting day today! Until tomorrow, happy crafting. 
JanB.

    Good Morning, Jan! Don't personally use a Cell Phone (or mobile phone) but I intend to enjoy the video anyway … I always do! Enjoy your coffee out with Vicky and your visit with your sister's visit this evening! Tomorrow's another day, didn't someone say? ENJOY YOUR DAY! Meanwhile, back to the video ….. and thank you.

      Hi, Joan. Many thanks for sharing this. I see this company is based in the US. Do they ship internationally? It's always useful to know more than one supplier…..just in case! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
