Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching my tutorial today I'm going to be showing you how to make this really pretty shaker gift bag so you can see there all the lovely sequins that move around in the window now the idea is it you know whatever's in there would be wrapped or have some tissue around it that would complement the gift bag so obviously it doesn't give away the gift but I just thought what a fun way to just you know change up a normal gift bag really this one also folds flat so I need to start building up my stash of gift bags again I tend to do this I kind of do like a run of gift bag tutorials just to build up my own personal stash and try and bring new you know kind of ideas for you guys so yeah this one I haven't done a shaker gift bag before and I think even this fold flat size I haven't done before either so this can be added to the playlist of all the other fold flat gift bags so if you do like this concept here I've been able to store them away which I know many of you do then I will share up the playlist here somewhere and it will have all the other ones that I have that do this fold flat because it's perfect if you like to create like I do but maybe a little bit limited on space then these are perfect because you can store them away easily okay so today I'm going to be using a paper pack by the craft consortium this is the herbarium which I have used before for the pop-up box card I think it was so this is the paper pack here it's beautiful like I said it's called the herbarium you've got just absolutely gorgeous papers here lots of you know lovely things to fussy cut I bought this as a bundle from craft stash I'll share the links to that below because you can get the stamps two stamp sets and the beautiful little bronze embellishments as well to use with it they're like a little trowel a little spade scissors I think it might have been actually but anyway all that will be in the links below but that's the one I'm using today so I've gone ahead and done loads of parts to it I'm going to talk you through everything step-by-step as I always do but things like making flowers and you know preparing my sentiments and things like that I've done off-camera because you know everybody's going to kind of has something something different anyway so the papers I'm choosing today is this gorgeous one here with all these teacups and if you can see that all the teacups have got a like a gloss coating over the top of them so again I just thought that was really nice to use for a gift bag and it'd be lovely to maybe give some really special tea or a nice teacup itself would fit inside this this gift bag so you're going to need two pieces of the same size so these measure nine and a half by 12 okay so two pieces that size you're going to score all the same apart from one extra score lines okay so first of all you're going to score at six and nine then rotate your card stock and score again at three you're going to do that on both pieces okay so I've already done that then on one of the pieces where you've scored at three use the one that I've done it on so where you've scored at three you want to also score at four and a half all the way down then rotate it back again and you're going to score at seven and a half down to that four and a half inch score line that you just done okay and then on the other one so you would have scored at six and at nine and then you would have scored at three flip it over and you want to score it four and a half go past the first score line that you will have and go down to the second okay because it folds flat the folded lines the one where we've just done that that first one we scored right the way across that's this fold line here by not scoring all the way across on the second one will mean you won't get a score line through your front piece you don't want this score line that would be roughly around about there okay so you just want to score at four and a half pass the first score line just to the second so that your side can fold okay it will all make sense when it comes together then flip it back over again and pop it back in so it's in that nine and a half length at the top and you're again going to score at seven and a half down to that first score line okay so what you should really have now is with your two pieces as you will have one where it's got a whole big area here you can just make out my score lines just coming down here but this is all completely free whereas on this one that same large area will have this score line running here and also your score line running along here as well like I said when we come to fold it all it will all make sense and for those of you that have made these fold flat bags you know you will know exactly what you've got to do okay next you need to do another couple of score lines so where you scored at seven and a half down to the first score line this is your side what I'm going to do is actually burnish it all because that way I think it's going to help you see it a lot easier so this one here so this is the one where I just got that large area I've got my base score line here and I've got my sides there where you scored at seven and a half which I would just roughly bring in here as well so you can see all the score lines coming together that's that nine inch score line this is the seven and a half and this is the six that's seven and a half will meet up with the this score line here whether it's the one that goes right the way across or the one that just goes partly across one side you basically from the bottom of that seven and a half inch score line you want to score across from the score line down to the bottom left and bottom right of that rectangle shape that it would have formed so again let me just fold that all in and then I'm also going to cut into this I'm doing all this just so it's easier for you to see and I take some wedges off of that and I'm going to remove that again I'm going to talk you through all this on the next one when we cut that because you cut them exactly the same I just want you to be able to see so this is what you will have this is your base that's the large base this is our tab that's going to come around like so here you will have this rectangle piece where that score line at four and a half we just done to that that one we didn't go all the way across on this particular piece and there's that seven and a half inch score line that comes down to meet it where it meets it I've scored down to there and then down to there all within that little rectangle and basically what that means is once that's all attached you can see how that folds and that gives you your fold flat kind of mechanism I guess okay so that's all that is there that's what that that triangle does so yeah just within the rectangle that is above that tab here you'll have that rectangle part so I'm going to do it again on this one here and we can get that again all scored so I'm going to burnish first of all so this one here I've got the two score lines so this one here I've got my base score line and then I've got that four and a half score line that went right the way across so this one you're doing those two rather than just that little one that we had on the other and then where I've got my seven and a half score line it comes down to me and you'll see there's that three inch score line and then I'm going to fold this one back that way and that's that four and a half inch score line which goes all the way across there's the seven and a half which comes down there again this is the side so within that rectangle here this small rectangle that you have again come down where that seven and a half inch meets it and you're just going to score across and then this one here do reverse in my other tutorials I do share some templates in those ones once you've done these the the actual kind of the scoring is the same for anyone you do obviously the measurements will be different but the process is exactly the same for any fold flat bag so once you've mastered it is very very straightforward but I do appreciate this is quite a busy paper that I'm using for this one today but do look at the other ones because I do I'll put the one specifically now which has a template and then you'll be able to understand a bit more what I'm doing but now you can see I've got my triangle feature there again so that is the bottom of this seven and a half score line and then I just go across within that rectangle okay so then what you want to do because I quickly done the cutting on the other one but you're going to cut up that one so that's your base this is our tab and then you'll have another score line here you're going to cut up that one so it just meets that again and then just remove that and just cut it on an angle so you're creating a little wedge there and then on this larger tab I'm going to take a couple of wedges off of each side like so okay so now you've got this large tab here I'm going to take a little bit off the top of that as well so this is your back you will have your half inch tab and a mountain fold then you'll have your seven and a half inch score line and that will be a valley fold and then you will have that six inch score line and that will be again a mountain fold and then along this bit here you will have that score line and then your base score line okay and again if I bring that all around you will see once it all folds down it will go that way and it will all fold flat okay so with your one where you haven't got that score line going all the way through there to your front your nice plain piece this is the one that we're going to start to create the shaker element now you don't have to do the shaker at all and if you want to you may not want to do your shaker completely see-through so you may back yours so if you look my one there's got the acetate goes right though through you can see the inside and because I'm using double sided paper it's really nice you can see the lovely pattern it's like little amherb jars that are inside there as well so it all ties in really nicely but if you wanted to you can just put another nice paper behind the second piece of acetate you don't have to have it on both okay so I have gone for a four and a half inch circle now I am using my trusty x-cut circle cutter if you don't have this you can use a die you can use a dinner plate anything like that you can obviously draw a pencil you know circle and then cut it out but I just love this for this reason it's just so easy to cut also a square window would be easy as well because you can just put your die down a square die draw around it with pencil and then cut that with your cutting knife and that'd be a really easy shape to cut so have a play around but I'm gonna now cut my circle so I've already got my little marker here and I've just moved it so it's at the four and a half marker okay so those of you that have this you just want to pop it so where it's got the number four because it's not I guess it's a little bit different to what you usually I think I would prefer it if they did mark every inch so you got four but then they go straight to six be nice if they mark the five there so I'm in between where that five would be I've just popped my little doodah just there okay so I've left to quite an area free here because once I cut my circles out this kind of piece hanging down is actually the center of this circle and I thought I rather than wasting it I'm going to use it to decorate my gift bag so my circle I actually start from the top at about three and a quarter inches so I'm just going to pop my ruler down here and with a pencil I'm just going to roughly just mark there because it's plastic I can't really do my pencil mark there because I can rub that out that's three and a quarter inch three and a quarter inches so my circle is going to roughly take my back off here so I'm going to roughly be there and then I need to make sure that this sits in the middle of where the folded so ignore the side you're working within this area okay so ignore all of this folded piece so I'm going to bring line that up roughly so I want this to be in the middle of this section so I know I need to come across a bit here and then just to make sure I've got it pretty central so I've got one and a half there and then I've got I'll move that note so I need to come across so now I'm looking at one of five eighths and one of five so I'm happy with that I think I'm roughly by that pencil mark there so then I can go in now and cut my circle I will share links to this I think the guy or I say guy but the the store that I've been linking to I think he might well have sold out so I need to find some other stores but I also know that there's another company that has a very similar one so again I will link that one in but it's brilliant you have to have it in your craft room so handy right there is my window now one thing I will also stress is you need to make sure because what will happen is this second piece eventually is going to be stuck down here you want to make sure that whatever size circle you have you can't see that tab coming through so that half an inch this area here is more than half an inch so just make sure that you give yourself space there to be able to stick this over that piece there's nothing worse you go to stick it down then you get this bit poking through here okay so that's my piece done there then what you want to do is with the yeah with yours still keep this at the same size and you want to go and cut two more circles so basically the inside one here is four and a half then I move my dial to five and a quarter so pop it down with the four and a half cut your circle leave it down I don't move it undo this and move it up to five and a quarter and then cut again and that will give you this ring okay and you'll need two of them which will give you two of these center pieces which are going to be folded in half and create that detail on top you might not want to use these it's not you know essential but I just thought rather than waste them but then you will have these rings so whatever it is you're using whether it's a side plate or anything like that cut it and then you need to do another circle slightly bigger around it to give you your two rings here now I've already gone ahead and I've popped some red tape on the back of mine and you also want to go and cut two pieces of acetate that are the same size as the larger size that you cut so the five and a quarter these are I think I ended up cutting them just slightly shy just so they don't hang over the edge but that's what you want to be working towards so you'll see now what's going to happen is is that it's going to stick over there like so so basically it's framing our acetate and it means it can sit over this perfectly like so so I've prepped everything so I've put my double-sided tape on these also you may only need one piece of acetate if you don't want to back so whatever sizes of this you'll have one an acetate and one in pattern paper or plain paper for example so it's entirely up to you how you want to do this first of all with one piece of acetate flip this over I've already gone over and made sure that this is really stuck down well and you're going to stick this so it covers that there okay and I'm just going to go around and just really stick that down you can see all the air bubbles come out of it and it goes quite darker which means it's all stuck down nicely so now the reason I said to cut two of these is because you can stick that over the inside and just looks a bit neat so you don't have to if you want to leave it like that no one really is going to see it but that's why I've also done the two so you know at the beginning when I say to cut two once you've seen this bit now you might think well actually I don't I'm not bothered about the inside and then this one here focus on the inner circle of the ring and then that will sit nicely around like so okay so that's all the inside kind of prepped now I can flip this back over and what we're going to do is pop them to one side I don't need those quite yet I'm going to stick this ring onto this piece of acetate so the top side of the acetate so you just want to make sure that you get the outer part because it's the acetate slightly shorter so again just spend some time just don't rush it just make sure that's all covered and I've put red tape on this side but just realize I actually don't need to because what we're going to do is we're going to put our foam on this piece the foam adhesive to give it the dimension to allow us to pop the sequins inside so I have got some strips that I've already prepared again anybody new to my channel this is wax paper or grease proof paper and this is your foam here like so and I basically just stick it on like so and then I can cut my own strips for my shaker cards so this works out a lot cheaper for me to do you know I like to make shaker cards a lot I don't make them obviously every day but I really like this little way and you can cut them to any size you want as well but because it's grease proof it now allows you to peel off the back there but it means it's a lot easier to manage so I'm just going to trim that piece off these all go in my little drawer I just keep them all together so now even though I've got sticky already on there I need to stick this on top but you're going to get your foam like so and just stick it on there and start working it around like so don't worry if the you know the the backing paper on top starts to buckle it's because you're kind of you know working it around this circular shape once you take that backing paper off it will you know flatten so don't worry it's not going to cause any lumps or anything on your project now that is going to go over there and obviously you then you've got that little bit of height to be able to fill this with our sequins and things like that which is what we're going to do next I am going to go for those real emerald yeah that emerald green colour here so I'm going to tip these or I need to do that one you tip them all on to that area there it's all within the acetate and just kind of spread them out a little bit you want to make sure they're going to be able to move around like so and then take your backing off of this piece here like so and then if you've got any kind of pattern I guess on that make sure it's right way make sure there's no bits in there and then carefully stick that down making sure the inner frame lines up with the inner frame of the one below like so hold your breath and stick it down okay so now there's your shaker and it's obviously nice and neat on both sides and you can see there and I actually like it when they kind of stick and grip on because you look at this one here it's all kind of gripped all around the top there but I like it I think it just frames it really nicely so you can add the embossing buddy powder or cornstarch into that if you don't want anything to stick but I actually do want mine to kind of you know catch into places because I like it so there already you can see now it's starting to find little sticky bits on the side and sticking to it so next we can start putting it all together I have got some red tape so on the back piece this is the piece where you've got your four and a half score line that goes all the way across as well as that three inch score line I'm gonna run some red tape along there and just again make sure it's all nice and stuck down take the backing off what I might do I think this is gonna catch ever so slightly with my frame underneath I'm just gonna cut because I've got a little bit there where I haven't covered it with tape anyway so I can just cut that off I wouldn't go any less than quarter of an inch make sure you've got at least a quarter of an inch tab but now I can stick this without catching with that frame underneath so I'm gonna stick that you want to make sure you get your score lines here so these are my base score lines make sure they're lined up so it all folds nicely like so and then just run it all the way up there we go flip it over just caught a little bit there but what I can do is grab my pokey tool I just need to lift it up there we go okay so now that looks really neat from the inside as well as the outside like I said you don't have to put that frame on there so don't worry okay so that's all of that piece then you want to put it over and you're gonna put some tape along this tab here again just take off your backing and then fold that one over right the way over and it should line up perfectly again make sure your base is stuck down first because you can always kind of trim the top but get your bottom part lined up first and then move that over this side so it doesn't damage my shaker part and just make sure that's all nice and stuck there we have it so already now you can see the gift bag coming together and then you want to stick everything down so what I like to do first is pop my back piece down then pop in my sides and then stick that down so when you look inside you've got a really nice base without the tabs showing okay so I'm going to add some glue to these here on each side and stick them in and then I'm going to add glue to this one here and then flip it all over and then you can go in with your ruler and just kind of you know run it over the top there just to make sure that glue is stuck down okay so now you have your gift bag so it's really nice at the minute just kind of a paper bag style in terms of you know how it closes so you could peg on there if you wanted to you know it's up to you how you want to do your fasting but I have done something a little bit different so with the two circles that you would have had from in the inside of your frames that you cut these ones here I'm just going to fold in half I'm going to do it that way so I get the pattern so that one's going to be one that way and then I can have and I don't want to do these ones I'll do this this way so just fold them in half okay like so so I'm going to have one of them is going to go inside like that okay and then the other one is going to go over that there so at the minute they are kind of more decorative but I do think it kind of pulls everything together once we've added you can see there once the bows on there and everything so what you want to do is the front one we're just going to stick down normally so I'm just going to add some glue along this one and then just pop that in and just make sure that you get it nice and lined up before I completely stick it down so that's just under three quarters just under three quarters so again I'm happy with that and then stick it down okay so that's the front one and then with the back one so you folded it in half open it up you then want to cut a slit in the center so I'm going to mark the middle which is two and a quarter okay so that's there and then I have got this piece here which measures 11 by one and a half so I need to make this slit one and a half inches long because this is going to slide inside there so you can see here that's actually concealed inside I didn't open that up at the beginning but you'll see in a minute again this is all optional once you see how I do it but I do like to really kind of show you lots of different ways to do your bags so from the center there because it's one and a half I want to come out each side at three quarters of an inch so I'm just going to line up my three quarters of an inch there with the pencil mark that I've just drawn and then do a pencil mark at the end there and then I just go to one and a half there okay so now I've got a one and a half area there and that's what I want to cut so I've got my cutting knife and I'm just going to cut from that one and I'm actually going to remove the score line so I'm going to remove that bulk so then I'm going to come across on the other side of that score line so and then just cut across and that will remove it okay so you can now see I've cut that one and a half inch section there okay and basically what that now means is I can get this piece so I've just gone and used my ruler or pair of scissors anything and just curled it like so you want to pop the two together about half an inch okay so I'm just going to pop my glue there about half an inch and just stick them together quarter an inch anything like that but don't do anything more than that because I think it gives you a nice handle size and you're going to pop it in there and you want to have half an inch coming in like so okay so again choose a side I'm just going to pop some glue there and just stick that down make sure it's nice and straight but I've got about half an inch in there okay get rid of that glue on the front like so so now that is going to stick over the backside but look it's all nice and covered and concealed so next you want to add glue over to so next I'm just going to cover all of this now with glue both sides like so and make sure I've got the right side facing out and then I'm going to pop it in the back okay again and then if you just close it up and make sure the front one here lines up with the back which it does so you can stick that all down so now you have this piece but it's all really neat and then it's going to be like so now you're obviously probably thinking but sound the handles on the back how that's all really open now there's a few ways you can do this you can add a velcro dot in there if you want and seal it up you could put that handle that side onto here and have one side on there so it's kind of an arched handle that you just open and then you've got kind of tissue hanging out what I've done is I'm going to hole punch there and I fed the ribbon through both pieces okay so I've got my got my cropper dial here and I'm just coming in on the back and I'm eyeballing this but you can kind of see there where I've just done my hole punches I'm punching both holes within this one and a half inch section so again I'm going to come in here and I think about there there we go okay so they're both within this section and then if you fold it up and then you can do a pencil mark on the other side and that way you know you're going to get them lined up so I can see my pencil marks there and then I'm just going to come in this side here okay so there's my two holes here and my two holes on the back next I've got some pretty ribbon here and starting from the back you want to come in there and then go right through to the front and then with the other end I'm going to go across and pop it in that one and go right through to the front one there and then it will close it up and then it's easy to get into once you obviously under your bow because it would be like so and it just closes up I think really nicely it's just unusual and that's what I like to make that's my thing so there are many ways to make it if you don't want to do it that way but I do think it looks quite cool so and I've done that similar way with my I think I called it like the the Mary Poppins bag or something like that I had done so I'll share that link up here as well which you may want to check that out because that's cool okay and then I'm going to tie my bow okay and then I'm going to trim these pieces off and I'm actually going to trim them so it's completely flat and this is optional like so and then what I've gone and done you'll see here is I added little pieces on the ends because you know you sometimes get those lovely decorative metal ribbon ends well I've just done these in the matching cardstock so cut them straight and then I've just cut so whatever width your ribbon is and then I've done it by half an inch and then I'm just going to fold that in half so I've got a quarter of an inch on each side like so and then because I'm sticking to fabric I'm going to use the red tape so I've got the very tiny thin one here which is the I think it's about it's just over one eighth of an inch okay now one thing I will say if you're going to do these is make sure first of all that when you undo your bow and pull the ribbon almost so it doesn't come through the holes that you've got room to put whatever you're putting inside because once you add these onto the end you can't that ribbon won't go back through those holes okay so once I pop this on I will show you what I mean so just stick one down first on one side and then just fold over the other half so you're sandwiching the ribbon in between but I think that gives a really nice little finish and ties everything together so now when I undo that bow like so I can open up my gift bag really far like so but still get the gift inside but see they won't go back through those holes now so do bear that in mind whatever you cut your ribbon length to make sure it's going to give you the room to be able to you know open and close the gift bag okay and now it's just down to decorating so I'm just going to leave my bag there so you can see so I've already gone ahead and cut these flowers now I did use this stamping up punch here I don't know what one it was from but anyway I've got that one so I've gone and cut them and just kind of you know screwed them up a bit and everything stuck two together and popped a little gem inside and I'm going to stick the three of them like something like that very similar to what I've done and then I've already gone ahead and cut matching little leaves from the same cardstock and those are just going to be all nestled in amongst it so I get something like that and I'm also going to stick the happy birthday on top as well okay so there is my gift bag finished I realized that my happy birthday was actually really dark and I'd actually done on this one here it was the same color as the flowers so I just changed it so I've got the same color there now but try not to get the glaring but you can see there how nice that all falls you can see the inside paper of the bag because I've used double sided so it's got a nice obviously everything all matches I've added all my leaves there and the flowers and then you've seen how the bag opens but also just make sure it all folds flat so in order to do that if it's the first time you just basically you're going to be pushing against that four and a half inch score line that you scored you push in that and if you've scored and burnished all of these triangle ones perfectly it will all fold nice and flat okay but they do store away much much easier so they have it guys a little bit unusual in terms of the fastening and just having the shaker element but I always like to try and bring you other ways to just yeah take your gift bags to that next level I think they look great I'm really really pleased with these love the papers love that little detail on the ribbons and of course the shaker element is just really fun I think so yeah I hope you've liked it I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial if you have please give me a thumbs up I really do appreciate it and I'll be back again soon with another tutorial thanks for watching bye


Well, hi everybody. It's Sandy with oh my gosh another brush a video. Yeah, I know it just obsessed with this stuff But I'm also using the mod hex die which a bunch of people when I sneak peek this said they've never seen before so Yay for showing you some new dye that you just have to have in your collection because it's really cool I made a line on the back to help myself know what straight is because when you're looking at the back of a die It's kind of tough to tell and then I taped it down so I could run it through my die cutter And pop out the little parts on the inside I'm gonna do three different techniques with the brush out Just three different looks with one color on each one for the background Just so you can see you don't have to have a million colors to get some really cool looks So on this one, I've sprayed the water on first and I'm just shaking on this gambosh color and letting it move across the card and This one I wanted to have a lot of big splash of color So I just added some extra water and I'm gonna let it dry and not touch it This next one I'm just gonna tap on some red. I wanted to see if I could do a little less so keep the color really intensely right around the hexes and Let just a little bit of that flow out to the edges But I wanted to get more of that intense red right around them So I spritz just inside the hexagon shapes and then dabbed off on the rest so that it would get sort of this light red and pink color as it moved out and Of course my favorite the black I've used this a couple times And I'm probably gonna have to buy this one again before I run out of any of the other colors Because I'm using it all the time but look at all that delicious color that comes out of the black as You add more water to it. It turns more black But out on the edges when it's just little tiny bits of color They just get all different kinds of beautiful colors. There's rust and blues and purples and Every single time I use it. I just feel like I see different beautiful colors showing up in it And I wanted to see what would happen if I started going in more with the paper towel to start removing some of that excess And if I went right over top of it, I Get some of the brush show onto the paper towel so I can tap off as well and add some more texture outside of it But then it also meant that I softened all that stuff in the middle and I wanted more of that brush show texture back So while it was damp not soaking wet I added just a little bit more powder and then set that aside to dry So while those are drying I'm taking one of the sets of the insides of the hexes and I'm just gonna put some different colors on each one and You can do them all in one color and use that with a brush show in another color in the background Or you could even do a white card with just these pops of color on all the little hexes That would even be beautiful on a nice clean and simple card Graphic dies like this are just a lot of fun because you can do some really fun inset techniques do a little bit of stuff with some some dimension that I'll show you and Just some really sweet color. So I'm gonna spray on some water So that each one of these gets a little more intense in its color and then I picked them up and I put them on a piece of scratch paper so they would dry and Now I'm going to prepare my card bases by putting on some be creative tape This is the one and a half inch tape and I want to cover the whole surface with it You could get the stuff that's in sheets as well and just cover it with the sheet But what I did was take the little excess piece that I had off the edge here and just turn it and then I could just cut little slivers to Fill up that top side, but the reason I wanted all of this on there is I'm going to nest these hexes back into The die-cut shape that I already have here So I need to have some adhesive all along that and then I don't have to put any adhesive on the back of my little hexes So press it all down and trim off the edge because my watercolor paper was bigger than my card base and Then just piece all of these back in and of course, there's a time-lapse here It took them a little while to dry this brush. So when you let it air dry does take a while So you could if you wish use a heat tool But on the the little tiny pieces they would blow away. So I actually did let them air dry and Just gotta turn the pieces around until they look what I like what I want them to look on the card itself and Then for the sentiment I have this piece that I've tucked underneath the left-hand side and cut a banner for the right-hand side You're absolutely awesome. No, seriously, you are that is seriously a sentiment that I am going to be using a ton I'm gonna try not to use it in every video. Okay. I'll try to hold myself back But when I make cards just for me that aren't in videos I'm gonna be using that quite a bit Next I have the same thing that I've done to prepare for this red one and it's on a red card base And I'm putting dimensional adhesive behind some of the pieces and other pieces are going to nest into Their little respective places and that'll add a little little dimension to certain parts But not to others. I started off just wanting to do Some wink of Stella across all of the hex pieces and I accidentally touched the wink of Stella brush to the brush show And I discovered that I pulled in a little bit of color at first I went oh no I wrecked it and then I went wait a minute look it looks like stone if you just pick up that brush show That's already dry. It reactivates with the wink of Stella And so now I get not only a little bit of shimmer on it But if I just kind of scribble with the brush show with the brush show with my wink of Stella pen It just starts to make this really beautiful looking stone So how cool is that for an accidental effect when I thought I was going to be doing one thing? I created something entirely different and this is how it looked on the card I even did a little bit of that same look on the right hand side of that banner just to tie that together with the rest of the card and Finally, let's make a shaker out of this one with the black. So I've put some Some acetate onto the back of the hex die part that's cut out And I'm going to run some dimensional adhesive all the way around the entire The whole shape that whole open shape because I want the part that's going to be inside the shaker To stay within that area I don't want it to shake behind the rest of the card because that would be wasting all that beautiful shaker stuff So I've made a little trail all the way around it You want to make sure I'm going to be using glitter for the inside of my shaker if you're using beads It's not as crucial but I want to make sure I seal every single one of those little spots in between all of my little pieces of Dimensional adhesive and I added more to the rest of the card So that whole panel will pop and I have a little piece a little scrap of some Silver metallic paper that's some silver glitter paper and I'm just going to put my glitter This is the hero arts prima glitter and put it on top of this this whole panel on top of the glitter and Press it all down really good and then give it a little shake and look at all that beautiful Sealed in not leaking all over the place glitter. Yay for things that don't make a mess And again same sentiment same design But a totally different look just because I've used different colors and a different technique for the card itself So if you want to see some more brush, oh, here's some more brush Oh for those who are just as addicted as me and I've also started a playlist so each one of these will take you to a playlist if you want to just keep watching as you go. Oh My gosh, this stuff is fun. I'll talk to you guys later All the supplies are linked in the doobly-doo. Don't forget to subscribe and I'll see you next time Bye-bye


Attention Valverde residents this is a community notification of a new sexually violent predator in your area. Please stay tuned to the following short program for more information. Hi I'm technician Ron Hackett with the Denver Police Department.  Our state laws trickle down from federal government mandates. In 1994 we had the Jacob Wetterling Act which mandated that states would establish a sex offender list. Megan's law of 1996 said that the public would have access to those sex offender registration lists. The Pam Litchner Act of 1996 stated that some offenders might have to have lifetime registrations. In the Adam Walsh Act of 2006 unified sex offender laws across the country. In Colorado the legislature has determined that sexually violent predators by definition pose a higher risk to the community at large and therefore mandated that upon their release from the Department of Corrections the community must be notified. Sex offender notification in Colorado happens in two ways. The first is passive and ongoing through the sex offender registration process which is a list maintained by local police departments. The second way is active via community notification for those offenders determined to be sexually violent predators by the courts or by the parole board. Most sex offenders in Colorado are supervised by the criminal justice system in our communities. Most sex offenders engage in crossover behavior which means they may have been arrested for one type of crime but be apt to commit another.  There is no typical sex offender but all tend to be deceptive, manipulative and secretive. 80 to 93 percent of sex offenses are committed by someone known to the victim. Sexual deviancy begins in mid to late adolescence. Sex offenses are not impulsive.  The community has a vested interest in helping offenders to be successfully managed in the community. Sex offenders have the same need for housing and employment as any other citizen.  There are approximately 16,500 registered sex offenders in the state of Colorado. About 65% of convicted sex offenders are placed in the community on probation. The remainder are in the Department of Corrections or Community Corrections. Offenders may be caught for one type of offense but be at a high risk to commit another type. Crime of conviction is only one indicator of risk.  The offender's residence must be verified quarterly by the Denver Police Department. The full sex offender registration list is available by calling the Denver Police Department Identification Bureau at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Convicted felons and those with multiple convictions are posted online at denvergov.org slash police.   Now, here's a look at the newest sexually violent predator living in Denver. Here's an overview of the registered sex offenders currently living in Denver. There are 2,461 total living within city limits. In Denver Police District 4, there are 460. Precinct 411 has 100 registered sex offenders. Of those, 77 have felony convictions and 23 have misdemeanor convictions. Mark Stephen Cronolatos is a sexually violent predator currently living in Denver. He's 64 years old and was born on March 1st, 1958. He's a white male five feet eight inches tall, 126 pounds with brown hair and green eyes. He's currently living at 95 South Alcott Street in the Valverde neighborhood of Denver. Schools located within one mile of this offender include Kip Denver Collegiate High School and Math and Science Leadership Academy, both at 451 South Tahone Street. Kip Sunshine Peak Academy at 375 South Tahone Street. Valverde Elementary at 2030 West Alameda Avenue. Monroe Elementary at 3440 West Virginia Avenue. Barnum Elementary at 85 Hooker Street. Florence Critterton High School at 55 South Zuni Street. Kip Sunshine Peak Elementary at 3300 West Nevada Place. St. Rose of Lima School at 1345 West Dakota Avenue. Parks located within one mile of this offender include Aspirin Park, Frog Hollow Park, Byers and Pecos Park, West Barvalwood Park, Barnum East Park, Ulibari Park, Valverde Park, Barnum Park, Houston Lake Park, Milstein Park, Sandos Park, Weir Gulch Park North. Recreation centers located within one mile of this offender include Barnum Rec Center at 360 Hooker Street.

Routes 3 and 4 West Alameda Avenue and South Clay Street, Alameda Avenue and South Yuma Street and West Alameda Avenue and South Tejon Street.  He's currently on probation and registered with the Denver Police Department on November 23, 2022 to 95 South Alcott Street in the Valverde neighborhood of Denver.  Mark Steven Cronolatos has been determined as a sexually violent predator after meeting the following criteria. Criteria 1, age 18 or older on the date of the offense or under 18 and tried as an adult. The offender was age 64 at the time of the offense. Criteria 2, the crime must have been committed on or after July 1, 1997 and convicted on or after July 1, 1999.  The offender was convicted on March 17, 2022 for attempted sexual assault on a child. Criteria 3, the relationship to the victim was one of the following. Victim was a stranger to the offender or the offender established or promoted a relationship with the victim primarily for the purpose of sexual victimization. The victim was a 13 year old female. The offender was not known to the victim. Criteria 4, positive results or the passing of a risk assessment instrument administered by probation parole staff and a qualified treatment evaluator. Positive results include an assessment for the presence of a mental abnormality, a level of denial regarding the offense, treatment appropriateness and motivation, presence of sexual deviant interests. The offender was evaluated by the Denver County courts with positive results determining him to be a sexually violent predator.


Good afternoon. Welcome to Moving Hawaii Forward. I'm your host Tim Appichella, a show that's dedicated to transportation and traffic issues. Our today's show is called Transit, the Vital Piece of the Traffic Puzzle. My guest for today's discussion is Mark Gioriti. He's the Director of the Department of Transportation Services. Mark, welcome to the show. Thank you very much for coming. Thank you, Tim. It's a pleasure to be here. Yeah. Well, Mark, I have more questions. I know we have time. Transportation is particularly what you folks do. We can probably make this into an hour-and-a-half show easily. But it's only a half hour, so we're going to do the best we can here. Mark, I'd like to talk a little bit about Kakaako area. It's been in the paper a lot lately. A lot of the condominiums are now coming online. The collection and the symphony and 400 kiavies are all coming online. So eventually we're going to have about 4,000 units, maybe even more impact that particular area. And of course that's all by design. And so the question is speed and reliability, particularly along Alamoana and Nimitz and the service you have there. I think that's the 18 and 20, the routes. Yeah, 1920. A number of bus routes serve that area. And so the question is, with all the new densities coming in, how is speed and reliability going to work there? Well, you know, as you mentioned, Kakaako is essentially designed to be dense. And we're really venturing into a sort of a different mindset and a different pattern, a different way of doing things than we've done in the past. Typically when developers have built these tall buildings like they're building in Kakaako, they would put in these giant parking garages and design everything to be driven to. People would drive to them, park and then go up into their tower and it would be completely independent from every other place. But Kakaako is being designed to be a walkable community. And what that means is that people might still drive there, but they're going to park in one location and walk between uses. There's going to be lots of restaurants on the ground floor. The streets are all going to be designed to be very pedestrian friendly. And that's also going to work very well with transit, with our bus service that we have a lot of already. And with the new rail line coming in, that's going to have two stations in Kakaako. And what that means is this neighborhood is going to feel like an urban neighborhood. It's going to be very friendly for people walking, bicycling, getting off and on transit. And yes, people will be able to drive there, but it's not going to be oriented towards driving in the way that past development has taken place. And in the way we think of other neighborhoods in Anahu. Well, what if you're coming from Waikiki and you want to come into, you're not living in Kakaako, but you're coming from Waikiki or maybe someone else, Kahala area and you want to come in. Or the people that just are going to the airport or just transporting goods and services. Do you perceive any traffic patterns that are going to kind of press down on Alamoana Boulevard and Nimitz Highway? Well, Alamoana is a major artery and that's going to continue to see a lot of traffic in the future. I think what our hope is, is that through the investments that we're making in high capacity transit, that we're actually going to shift a lot of trips that serve the urban core from vehicles into transit. And then as I mentioned, Kakaako itself is going to be pedestrian friendly in such a way that even if you're driving from another neighborhood, maybe you come into town, you park once in one of these garages and then you enjoy the day or the evening there without getting in your car again until the end until you're ready to go home. And then plus there's going to be other options, not just transit, but things like car sharing and Uber and Lyft and enhanced taxi service and that sort of thing that provide options for people. So, you know, in the future, we really think that the residents of Kakaako, although they may own cars, hopefully will not feel a need to use them as much as people have in the past. That's really what we're counting on.  How do we have a sustainable transportation system? In the past 20, 30 years ago, we thought, how do we move cars? But now it's about how do people get around? How do people connect to the things they need to connect to? And in some cases, using a vehicle may be the best option, but in other cases, there are many other options out there. And you know, technology has helped as well. Using your smartphone to know when the bus is coming wasn't even an option until a few years ago. But now when you go to a bus stop, you see everybody with one of these apps.  So, knowing when the bus is coming, knowing what transportation options you have, makes it much more comfortable and easier to use these alternatives. Yeah, it's amazing using your apps for, I won't mention the company's name, but car sharing and Uber Lyft. I mean, it's there and it's present and it's a technology we didn't have 15 years ago. Exactly, exactly. And 5, 10, 15 years from now, there's going to be even more. And I think what you're going to see is a lot of people are going to realize, you know, it doesn't really make sense for me to own a car because I have all these other options. I can rent a car for a few hours at a time if I need it. I can get a ride so easily just by using my smartphone that, you know, it doesn't make sense for me to pay $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 for a car and then pay to park it as well and pay for insurance and gas and all these things. And the depreciation. Yeah, so not everybody's going to make that choice. I recognize that. And the transportation system has to continue to work for everyone, including some people who drive, but we want it to serve everyone and we want it to be sustainable, which means we want to push the envelope and push towards moving towards modes that are generally more sustainable and less energy intensive. And that means things like walking, bicycling and transit. Yeah, that's good. You did mention high capacity transit and when I think of high capacity, maybe I have a wrong idea about this, but it's when the transit lane is separated from general purpose lane and you're running very fast frequencies of maybe 15 minutes or even less. Do you envision a day when we start segregating our transit only lanes from general purpose lanes? Well, if you're talking about buses, then I'm not sure that we're going to be doing that in many cases. Right now we do run express buses and of course they use the zipper lane and HOV lanes wherever they're available. So in a sense we do have a high capacity system in that regard. And we also use larger articulated buses which have higher capacity and we run them fairly frequently. But you're right, we don't have dedicated lanes on the streets. And I'm not sure whether that is in our future. It could be on certain corridors. But I think what we're really all counting on for the high capacity in our future is rail itself. The trains that are going to be running overhead, completely independent from traffic are going to be running very, very fast and very, very frequently. The system is going to average 30 miles an hour over the length, over the 21 miles including stops. So it runs 60 miles an hour between stations over the 21 mile length and there's 20 stations and it takes about 42 minutes to go from end to end which is all the way from the Kroc Center, you know, out in East Kapolei all the way to Ala Moana. And with two stations in Kok Ako, someone could theoretically live in one of these towers that you're talking about in Kok Ako and then they can get to the airport in less than 15 minutes. Speed and reliability, that's what it's all about. Exactly, so when you talk about speed and reliability and knowing that the train's going to come because it's completely independent from traffic. And the trains are going to run every few minutes. So you're not even necessarily going to need to look at your smart phone to know when the next train is coming they'll run so frequently you just go upstairs, go to the station and if the train just left you're going to know that in a few minutes another one's going to be coming. Well, Mark, I get an earful, I live in Waikai so I get an earful about all the adverse articles about rail in the paper. I certainly get an earful about, you know, gone from 5.6 billion up to 9.5 billion and then I hear the ultimate, why couldn't we have just had a rapid transit system for a fraction of the cost and a viable high capacity rapid transit system versus rail? And I don't have an answer for that, so... Yeah, well, you know, I don't want to say you get what you pay for but I think, and to a certain extent, we are spending a lot of money on a rail transit system that is going to provide speed and reliability and it's also going to provide an opportunity for a new type of development around the stations where people can live, work, play and exist without owning a car. A bus rapid transit system, like what I think what you're talking about, has some benefits of rail transit but it doesn't have that level of certainty to generate a transit-oriented development around the individual stations. If you go to other countries, Japan is a great example, I've spent a lot of time in Japan. The train stations themselves are generators of development and although the major department stores, major office buildings are centered around the train stations because that's where the accessibility is located. They know that the train is going to be running there very, very frequently for a long time because a major investment was made to put the train in and that's what we're talking about. We're talking about an investment that is going to last decades and all of the stations, especially starting at the Alamoana and Kakako, that area, but eventually all of the stations are going to eventually become magnets to a certain extent for development of one kind or another and of course not all of them are going to have the same type of development and we don't want that either. In Waipahu we want to provide the access for the people out there and there's already a lot of density in that area. There'll be some development around the stations but really it's about improving accessibility for all members of our community and everybody, regardless of whether they drive or take the bus or use transit or bicycle, should have good access to the system. Do we have enough land at each station where people can park or are you envisioning another means of getting to those rail stations versus a single occupancy vehicle? Four of the stations will have major park and rides and there'll be a lot of parking. I don't know if I want to say plenty because I think actually there's going to be a lot of demand for people to drive to these stations and park but in a lot of cases what I was describing is that we're trying to build a community around the rail stations where people can walk and parking lots are not always totally compatible with that. So we have to balance the various needs that we're trying to accomplish here. We do want to encourage people to use the trains so we want to provide accessibility and in some cases that does mean providing parking for them and there's going to be a very large parking garage at the intersection of H1 and H2 in Pearl Highlands area that you'll be able to access right off of H2 coming down from central Oahu and I think it's going to have 1,700 parking spaces so it's going to be a very large... Yeah, it's going to be a very large garage. There's also going to be a large transit center there so there'll be an excellent bus service coming down from Wahi Wah and Mililani that will also connect to the rail station and at all of the stations there will be bus connections and all of the stations will have bicycle and pedestrian access and bicycle parking and they'll be tied into the network and we're improving the crosswalks and the sidewalks and the walkable environment around the stations because that's really the most important way that people are going to access the stations and think about it, even if you drive to one of the stations that means you're getting off at a different station, right? Correct. And when you get off at that station you want to be able to walk or get to your final destination and that may involve walking, could involve bicycling remember we're going to have bike shares starting next year it could involve taking a taxi or an Uber or Lyft or hopping on a bus so we want to make sure that all of those options are available but all of the stations wherever possible. Great. We're going to take a break but Mark, when we come back I'd like to talk about connectivity at these rail stations and how we actually move people from the rail car to their destination. So we'll talk about that in a moment. This is Hawaii Moving Forward. I'm Tim Apachele and we'll be right back.  Noon. ThinkTekHawaii.com. Watch the show. Be there. I pity the fool, Hawaii. Aloha. My name is Richard Emery, host of Condo Insider. More than a third of Hawaii's population live in some form of association. Our show is all about educating board members and owners about the responsibilities and obligations and providing solutions for a great association. You can watch me live on Thursdays 3pm to 4pm each week. Aloha. Aloha. My name is Danelia, D-A-N-E-L-I-A and I'm the other half of the duo, John Newman. Welcome. We are co-hosts of a show called Keys to Success which is live on the ThinkTek live network series weekly on Thursdays at 11am. We're looking forward to seeing you then. Aloha. Welcome back. This is Moving Hawaii Forward. I'm Tim Apachele, your host. I'm here today with Mark Girity and Mark is the director of the Department of Transportation Services. Mark, again, thank you for coming. Thanks again. Before we left, we talked about connectivity, getting people from once they get off the rail car to points of destination. And how do you envision that? Do you envision a lot of smaller transit buses? Do you envision... How do you think that connectivity is going to happen? It's going to be a lot of different things, Tim. So there's first and foremost, we want to create a walkable environment so that when you get off the train and get down stairs onto the street, hopefully your destination, it's either very close by or even if it's a bit of a walk, that is a walkable and a pedestrian-friendly environment. If it's further away, maybe there's bike share available. We anticipate having bike share stations at each of the rail stations and also lockable areas where if you ride your bike to the rail station, you could lock it up that way when you come back a few hours later the bike is still going to be there and it's going to be safe. And then as you mentioned, in some cases, we're also going to provide access for transit and that means handy van or paratransit service is going to be available at every station. So if you are disabled, you're a regular user of handy van, maybe you can use both the train and then when you come downstairs, because of course there'll be elevators, especially ADA accessible at all of these station areas, hop on the handy van or regular bus will be available at the station or nearby to take you to your final destination. We talked about bus routes and buses earlier. I think what I envision is that in some cases we might actually be using smaller buses in the future that provide more access to the neighborhoods and think about, say, IAEA, that area. So we've got a station at Pearl Ridge near the mall and all of those Malka communities, some of them are well-served by transit but some are not so well-served. But in the future, maybe we have more bus routes serving those Malka areas but they're with smaller buses and they come down. Can I talk about transit demand or just a circulator? Yeah, and you know how we talked about technology earlier?  There's things like that happening and the changes in technology are making stuff like that more accessible and easier to install. Well, that sounds encouraging. It really does, particularly now if I want to take off in a half hour and the possibility of having the transit come down my road just off my phone app, that would be pretty spectacular. Right. I want to talk a little bit about where we are right now as far as of all the transit service hours and I'm not sure how many what you're told is of transit service hours excluding paratransit. How would you classify whether they're commute-related or just general-purpose routes? Well, we have a few different kinds of service. We have service that we would classify as something like commute or routes that only serve, only provide service during peak hours and a lot of them use the HOV lanes or the zipper lane, for example, and provide access sometimes in only one direction. And then we have more local routes that provide service up into the neighborhoods like that on a somewhat frequent basis in all day but maybe 15 to 30-minute service and then we have what we call our trunk urban lines the number two, number one route and they are often with our articulated longer buses that are heavily used, sometimes they provide service into Waikiki or other urban neighborhoods and they run frequently throughout the day and all, you know, every day. What I'm getting at is with the advent of rail do you foresee a greater percentage going into a commuter route as far as allocation of service hours or do you foresee the current mix? Well, you know, some of our current routes are serving the same area that rail will be served and so we'll make adjustments to those service hours or some of those routes where they might change or shift or operate on a different frequency. We're still going to need bus service between the stations because the rail stations are in some cases rather far apart so the buses that are serving that area might still be there but in some cases they might run more frequently or less frequently depending on what is needed. As I mentioned, I think in some cases we're going to be moving more towards a feeder type system where buses are connecting the local areas to the rail station and we're encouraging people then to use rail to either get to their destination or to another location. Would you classify that as a spoken hub system? Yes, yeah. Okay, because the only, sometimes the initial obstacle or hurdle is those transfer times whereas a rider is normally accustomed to getting on point A arrives at point B and there's no transfer in between and so that is a challenge and getting those transfers down is a bit of a challenge. It is and that's why it's very important that the rail system which will be essentially the spine of our system runs very frequently and provides very reliable service which it will by being on an elevated guideway. So these trains will be running every few minutes, something like every five or six minutes during the peak hours maybe a little bit less frequently during the day but to the point where you won't really need to look at the schedule and the buses themselves, we do our best to keep them on schedule but because of all the traffic and because of a lot of construction activity and detours and things like that it's harder for us to keep our bus system running on schedule and that's why people so frequently are using those apps to find out when the next bus is coming and we'll do our best to time the departure of the buses at the rail station to match, you know, when the rail station when the train comes in, train comes in people start coming downstairs, get on the buses and then a minute or two later the buses will depart that's what we're shooting for but you know in some cases the train might be running much more frequently than the bus themselves Well, increased frequency means increased hours increased hours means increased budget Do you foresee a new allocation of transit hours to match up with the connectivity of the rail? I think that everybody recognizes that this is going to be very, very important well into the future we want to provide the best possible transit system and make it efficient as possible so we know that we're going to need additional operating hours just with the train itself and we want to continue to provide the excellent bus service that we're already providing and make it better that takes money I can't say exactly what the budgets need to be going out into the future but we're not going to sacrifice the bus to provide more service hours on the rail it's got to be both because they all work together and it's very, very important and you do have transit-dependent people that are relying on these existing routes and we're providing more and more service on the handy van we increased that budget by 20% in one year the previous fiscal year to try and meet that demand which is growing every year as our elders continue to age more and more people rely on these types of services and nobody should feel like they're isolated at home we want to make sure that people can get around we want to provide access for our kids and for our elderly to go out and do the things that they want to do and that's where a really good transit system can support that you're hitting on my next topic here and that is a transit system that can be used by all one and all and I, again, I hear an earful about why people won't ride the bus I don't know how to put this politely or diplomatically but there's some kind of indication that you somehow take the public out of public transportation which is to say there's people that they don't want to sit next to or they don't want to ride with because they feel one way or another, you know maybe there's bad behavior or things like that so the question is, as I looked at the website I know that there's a public safety portion but is there a code of conduct for a transit system? we do have rules about eating and drinking and no smoking and whatnot on the bus and no bad behavior, no playing, loud music, things like that is that stated on the bus? it is there are some rules on these signs that we have inside the bus but, you know, as you mentioned the bus and the public transit system is really to provide service for everybody so generally we don't try to kick people off the bus or anything like that unless they're really behaving egregiously or very badly so we do want to respect everybody and we want everybody on the bus to respect each other I understand that some people might not take the bus and I thought you were going to actually talk about some other things and that some people would be more likely to ride the train than ride the bus and I think that could be possible but I think it's related to the service level that we're going to provide I think that gets back to an earlier question and that was a commuter population versus a non-commuter population where there's a level of conduct or a code of conduct that's more applicable to a commuter train rail or even transit and I guess that's what I'm trying to get at is how do we address that before it actually occurs and to make sure that people feel comfortable from day one that they want to get on a system that is more rider friendly we're going to do our best to make everybody feel welcome on both the bus and the train and as we were talking they really work together so once someone tries out the train let's say they drive now but once the train starts running they want to try it out and if they like it maybe they start by driving to one of these parking rides that you're talking about and they have a good experience it takes them to work or what not we're hoping that then they realize oh, this also works in the evening to go to a restaurant or on the weekend to go to a football game at a lowest stadium or somewhere else and they start to think about how transit can become part of their routine and then eventually they realize the bus connects to the train I could leave my car at home I don't even have to drive and then that whole thing starts to change people's mindsets and people start to realize the whole transit system is great it's good for everybody and frankly, I ride the bus every day and I see everybody that you would imagine on the island is on the bus from rich to poor all different backgrounds and it's great to see that that mix of people or ohana is using the transit system in fact that's one of the reasons that the bus has been rated one of the top in the country and you've done a lot of heavy lifting and to make it that kind of system so congratulations on that is there anything that before you leave is there any project or any task that you wish you had accomplished? well I do want to mention that there is a good thing coming up that we haven't really talked about we've talked about technology but you may not be aware but we're actually moving towards an electronic fare system sometimes called a smart card so right now people use paper passes or they pay cash but a couple years from now in fact we're going to start testing it on the bus next year you're going to be able to have a smart card which you can tap on a reader it has a chip in it and it's tied to your account and that's going to change the way people pay for the bus it's going to provide all kinds of new opportunities so I'm excited about that there's good things coming up that is actually that's going to have the multimodal between the rail the bus who knows maybe you're going to be applicable to Uber or Lyft or something like that or bike share or parking it could be that you load the value on this smart card which could end up being not your card but your phone in the future and you pay for you pay for a whole variety of things this way who knows maybe the more you use it the more credit you get I didn't mean to put words in your mouth on that well again as I said there's a lot more questions I have today than we have time so Mark I'd like to say thank you very much for joining us today I think we've learned a lot and today's show is now over and this is Moving Hawaii Forward I'm Tim Appichella thank you for joining us and we'll see you next week
