Hi everyone! It’s Huuuuump Day (insert cheesy grin)! I’m not posting on the Simply Crafty SVGs Blog today but have popped in this morning to share an extra DT inspiration project with you, a super cute gift box created with the Simply Crafty SVGs Octagon Box with Handle cut file. How stinkin’ cute is this?! I can already picture several different things tucked inside this!
I cut the base from heavy kraft cardstock and the panels from some fun October Afternoon paper. Here are several shots showing how this box opens. Super cute design!
And one more look… just the perfect size for some handmade jewelry!

Hello, crafty friends! Today is my post day on the Simply Crafty SVGs Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project with you, a super cute treat box for St. Patrick’s Day created with the Simply Crafty SVGs Leprechaun Hat Treat Box cut file. Have you EVER seen anything cuter than this?! OMG. And it’s about the right size for a Leprechaun to wear, lol!
This has to be one of the cutest treat boxes I’ve ever made! It will definitely be displayed with some green M&Ms in it! Out of reach of the cats, of course, lol!

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day! Check out this fun set of ten glittered vintage Santa ornaments created from a set of digital tags! These are SO super easy to make!
Thinking outside the box a bit, I used a fantastic sheet of Ephemoire digital vintage Santa tags to create the ornaments. I printed the tags on 60# Hammermill paper, fussy cut each one, embossed with iridescent embossing powder and then again with clear embossing powder. Each tag was adhered to heavy kraft cardstock to make into an ornament, and then I punched a 1/8″ hole in the top of each ornament and threaded narrow ribbon through the hole.
And one more peek at the set… totally loving how these ornaments turned out! Now I can’t wait for Christmas to gift them! ;)
Hello, my crafty friends! Hope you’re having a good week! This month’s Anything Goes with Dies Challenge is live over at Happy Little Stampers and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project with you today! I drifted back to my childhood when my sisters and I played with paper dolls quite frequently, and I created a couple sets using Julie Nutting stamps and dies. I’m showcasing one set today, and you’ll see the other set next month, so stay tuned! ;)
This beauty is Marisol, and she comes with ten dresses, all created from prints in the BasicGrey indie bloom paper pad and DCWV glitter and metallic stack!
I can’t describe the fun I had creating this set for my middle granddaughter! Each dress attaches to the doll by a velcro circle. So let the fashion show begin… here are shots of Marisol wearing each of her dresses!
And here’s one more look… I think I’ve made Marisol thick enough to withstand the hands of a young girl, lol! So fun!
Products used: Cardstock/Paper: GKD Ivory cardstock, DCWV Glitter and Metallic stack, BasicGrey indie bloom paper pad Stamps: Julie Nutting Marisol stamp set Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black ink (pad and marker); Studio 71- Y9, E16, R2, N10 Dies/Punches: Julie Nutting Marisol die set Accessories: MISTI stamp tool, velcro circles
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project and will link an anything goes project with us this month using dies! We’d love to see what you create!

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day – it’s almost the end of February! I’m not posting on the Simply Crafty SVGs Blog today but have popped in this morning to share an extra DT inspiration project with you, an adorable treat box created with the Simply Crafty SVGs Pot O Gold Treat Box cut file, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day in a couple weeks, which has always been one of my favs because of the green! ;)
I mean, how flippin’ cute is this?! It’s so easy to put together but sure packs a big punch with all that color! I used dark gray for the pot and of course, rainbow colors for the rainbow, and the sentiment was a printable included in the cut file that I punched with a circle punch and layered on slightly larger punched circle.
Here’s an angled shot…
And one more shot from another angle… I love how this turned out!

3/14/20 DT Favorite at World Wide Open Design Team Monthly Challenge!
Hi everyone! It’s Saturday and I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’ve popped in this evening to share a super adorable wall hanging I made today to enter into the February Outlawz Freebie/Progressive Challenge. Everyone joining in the challenge receives a free sponsor digi to create with each month. All Dressed Up Stamps is our sponsor this month and we’re playing with the most adorable My Best Friend digi stamp. OMG, how stinkin’ cute is she?! You ought to check out The Outlawz Challenges – lots of challenges to enter and lots of fun going on!
My hubby recently bought me several large and small embroidery hoops for my crafty stash so I decided to use a small one for this project. I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers, then centered the image in the hoop and traced around the outside of the hoop to cut a circle. I adhered the image on the back of the hoop and then added some paper flowers, a ribbon bow embellished with a flower button, and a little bit of bling. I also added a circle of pink and white gingham paper to the back of the wall hanging to give it a clean and finished look on the back side.
And one more peek… I’m absolutely tickled with how this turned out! I’m always really happy when my projects turn out as good in real life as they do in my mind, lol!
Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: GKD White cardstock, Simple Stories Wood & Gingham Basics paper pad
Stamps: All Dressed Up Stamps My Best Friend digi stamp

Hello, crafty friends! Today is my post day on the Simply Crafty SVGs Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project with you, a set of three floral Post-It Note holders created with the Simply Crafty SVGs Decorative Sticky Note Pad Holders cut file. I am absolutely in love with these!
I created the bases with heavy kraft cardstock, then used three different patterned papers and matching cardstock for each one of these cuties. I made several button die cuts out of each color of cardstock, layered them together and adhered them to the front of each holder. Here are close-up shots of each one…
One more look at the set… not sure if I want to give these away, lol!

Hello friends! I’ve popped in this afternoon to share a fun shoe I created to add to my paper shoe collection HERE! My inspiration came from my friend, Nancy, who has shared a couple shoes she made for a DT she’s currently on. So, of course, I just HAD to have that cut file, lol! All the rest of my paper shoes have been hand-cut from templates, so I felt really privileged to have a cut file for this one!
I used the beautiful Black & Kraft paper collection from Canvas Corp, which is nice and thick and of good quality. I cut the file with my Scan N Cut.
I sprayed some off-white Wild Orchid Crafts paper flowers with Tattered Angels Pewter Color Wash Paint, then another spritz of Tattered Angels Gold Glimmer Mist. Once they were completely dry, I dabbed some gold acrylic paint on the edges of each flower with my finger. I let them dry for a couple hours and added them to the shoe with hot glue.
I also added a narrow strip of Marco’s Metallic Gold cardstock on the heel for a little interest.
And one more look from overhead… I sure love my paper shoes and so proud to add this one to my collection!
Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a great weekend! It’s February 1st already and I consider this the month of love! I’m sure my parents are celebrating their 72nd wedding anniversary in Heaven! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #130 – Red and/or Pink Equals Love! I zeroed in on the red and created a wedding album for a very special couple in a red, black and white color combo which is one of my favorites.
I created the album base and pull-outs from Cardstock Warehouse pure white cardstock. There are five pages and each page alternates a side and top pull-outs. The album is bound with white wire using my Zutter Bind It All.
The wire binding and each pull-out are embellished with lengths of ribbon tied with bamboo cord, all from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Those who know me know that I have a weird sense of humor. I used the awesome Funny Kinda Love stamp set from STAMPlorations and chuckled as I was stamping most of the elements! I will say, though, that not all of them depict humor… there are few serious ones, lol! ;)
I used quite a few die sets for the stamped elements, along with lots of heart stickers. The backs of the first four pull-outs spell L-O-V-E.
The pretty filigree die cuts are from the Crafter’s Companion Opulent Swirls die set. I embellished several of the photos with these.
The bride and groom paid tribute to her late best friend so I embellished this photo with a set of angel wings. It’s been quite a while since I scrapped any photos for an album and I have to say it was great fun printing all these photos and deciding which ones to put where. Super happy with how this turned out!

2/7/20 Honorable Mention at Creative Moments! 2/18/20 Top 3 at Not Just Cards Challenges!
Hello, crafty friends! It’s Saturday and I hope you have an awesome weekend planned! A new challenge is live over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #19 – February Anything Christmas Goes! I created some pretty faceted Christmas Ornaments!
My inspiration for these faceted ornaments came from The Paper Pixie HERE and HERE. Julie is one talented lady and I love watching her videos! These look complex but you’d be surprised at how easy they are to make!
I grabbed some Stampin’ Up Cherry Cobbler and GKD Fresh Asparagus cardstock, and cut and scored all the bases for five long and three round ornaments.
I pulled out one Echo Park and two PhotoPlay Christmas collection packs, and cut all the squares, rectangles and triangles needed to layer onto the bases, using a variety of prints.
I used either gemstones, gumdrops, Glossy Accents or shimmery gold pen accents on the ornaments. The red/gold and brown/gold ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
I’m so happy with how these turned out and I’m sure I will be making more of these later on! The sky is the limit with colors and prints! ;)
Products used: Cardstock/Paper: Stampin’ Up Cherry Cobbler cardstock, GKD Fresh Asparagus cardstock, PhotoPlay Holiday Cheer and Here Comes Santa Collection Kits, Echo Park A Perfect Christmas Collection Kit Ink: Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen; Studio 71- YG7 (to color clear rhinestones) Dies/Punches: 1/8″ hole punch Accessories: Really Reasonable Ribbon Rustic Hues Collection, Zva Creative green gemstones, Stampin’ Up clear rhinestones, Your Next Stamp red Glittered Gumdrops, Glossy Accents
