just add glitter

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a great week so far. I’m delighted to share a heart-shaped mini album for Keep It Simple which I made to commemorate Make A Gift Day. Yep, this unofficial holiday is celebrated on December 3rd every year to encourage folks to give handmade gifts rather than store bought. I totally love this concept and am happy to join a few of our teammates in sharing our handmade gifts! My little mini album features our new KIS Cuts Circular Pop-Up: Heart dies along with papers, chipboard, die cut ephemera, puffy stickers and collection stickers, all from our Crafty Girls Collection. And I’ve included a fun pen that I made with beadable pen items from Bailey’s Beads! This fun collection is retiring and some of the items have sold out, so this will be a great keepsake for an awesome crafty girl!

I used our new KIS Cuts Heart Circular Pop-Up dies to cut the base from CutCardStock Wild Salmon cardstock. Then I dug into my Crafty Girls stash and grabbed paper, chipboard, die cut ephemera, puffy stickers and collection stickers, and went to town embellishing each section. I used our Back To Basics Lemon Ribbon for the closure. I created a shaker for the front which features five varieties of our Sprinkles in colors matching the papers and embellishments. To say this was “fun” is definitely an understatement… I had a blast! :D

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
