Convention 2014 Gifts


I whipped up these quick Convention gifts for friends using the Tag A Bag Polka Dot Bundle.  Wow!  Was this an easy bundle to use and the gifts came out super cute!  I just stamped the phrase from the Chalk Talk stamp set using the coordinating ink color, punched the image out with an oval punch and adhered a few layers of the tags.  Easy peasy!  I figured out a way to tie the white baker's twine (included in the bundle) so it would stay on the bag and not ruin it when they opened it.  Hint:  it involved punching a hole in the bag...  
I filled the bags with goodies such a Crystal Light packets, gum and of course, chocolate!

Wood Stamp Case Convention Gifts


These little beauties were gifts for my roommates at Convention this year!  Yes, Convention was in July.  Yes, I'm WAY behind!  I know, I know...  :)


 I came across the idea here and modified it by adding sticky notes.  I found these cute little pens on clearance at Staples.  Score!  And you can't forget chocolate - it goes with everything!  


I'll be making more of these soon - I'm participating in a craft fair at my daughter's elementary school on November 15 and I think they'll sell.  What do you think?

I'm back - With a Frankenstein Card and a Halloween Recap



I'm back after a much too long break from blogging.  Between computer problems and life, blogging took a back seat.  However, I've been crafting a ton and have a lot to share.  I'm going to start with these super cute Frankenstein cards I made for Halloween.  I used the Circle Card Thinlits Die from Stampin' Up!


I've seen several versions online and combined them to make mine.  I used the 'BOO' stamp that came in the September Paper Pumpkin and the 'happy halloween' from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  

 

Here are my kiddos all dressed up and ready to trick-or-treat.  Aren't they adorable?   
Here's what they wore last year for Halloween.  

And below is an overview of some of the things that were made for my daughter's 3rd grade class party.  Lots of fun stuff! 


Hope you had a wonderful Halloween!  Come back for much more paper crafting goodies!

Mini Pizza Box Gift Holder


This box has been finished in my mind for several days now, I just needed to actually finish it by adding the embellishments.  My niece's birthday was yesterday and she had asked for a specific necklace.  Well, I needed a box to put it in, so it was the perfect opportunity to just FINISH this box already!! 


The box itself is really easy and you can easily get 2 boxes per one sheet of cardstock. 
Here are the measurements:  
Start with cardstock 7-1/4" x 4".
Score the long side at 3/4", 3-1/4", 4" and 6-1/2".
Score the short side at 3/4" and 3-1/4".
Then embellish!

The measurements and inspiration for this project were found HERE.  Thanks Becky!


To make the flower topper, I used my Big Shot and the Fun Flowers Bigz Die.  I lightly sprayed water on each flower piece and then scrunched them up in my hand.  I let them dry and then attached them all together (and to the belly band) using a small silver brad.  The flowers held their shape after they dried. So pretty!

This also fits in as part of the Splitcoaststampers Creative Crew Challenge for March:
  • CCREW0314SF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM -- Show us something you love on a scrapbook page, This n That or 3D project!
     
    I LOVE to make 3-D projects and had to try this as soon as I saw it. 
    ~Enjoy!

Cardstock:  Pool Party, Island Indigo, Sweet Sorbet DSP (SAB)
Accessories:  Big Shot, Fun Flower Bigz Die, Silver Brads

Good as Gold


I'll be honest.  When I first saw the Good as Gold kit in the Sale-a-bration catalog, I thought 'What am I gonna do with that?'  After I attended Leadership and saw samples of the cards I started to warm up to the kit.  A little.  Then I started seeing samples that were 'outside of the box' and showed smart ways to use these products for anything but their intended purpose.  Now they're talking my language!  So, I took the plunge, got the kit and made these fun and super simple cards.  I was inspired by this card.  I love the splash of sparkling gold. 


The 'Designer Paper' I used is actually the card bases that come in the kit.  I cut them in half and mounted them on cardstock.  So, instead of 8 cards that the kit is supposed to make, I can get twice that amount by adding just a bit of extra cardstock!  Yippee! And all of this with a kit I got for FREE with a $50 order.  Double Yippee! 
Note:  I cut apart the gold envelope liners to make the background layer for the sentiment tag.  The gold star and gold ribbon are also included in the kit.  

  

Enjoy!
