Tiny little note cards

5/1/20 Spotlight Winner at A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hello, my crafty peeps! Can you believe it’s April 1st already?! OMGoodness, where is the time going? This month’s challenge is live over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #132 – For The Girls! I created two totally adorable boxed sets of tiny little note cards that any girlie girl would love! ;)

2019_1130007a

The first set was created with Ephemoire Rose Garden Boxed Card Set. I printed the box and the 3×3 note cards on white cardstock, and the envelopes on 32# copy paper. I made an embellishment for the front of each, using a stamp, a couple punches and a flat-back pearl.

2019_1130008a

The second set was created with Ephemoire Distressed Pansy Boxed Card Set. Like the first set, I printed the box and the 3×3 note cards on white cardstock, and the envelopes on 32# copy paper. I made an embellishment for the front of each of these also, in the same fashion, using a stamp, a couple punches and a gemstone.

And one final shot showing the cards and envelopes in their respective boxes. I love how these turned out!

For You gift box

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day! Our new challenge over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog launched this morning and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #36 – Anything Goes + Fancy Fold! You know how I love fancy folds so this challenge was right up my alley and I was really looking forward to it! I created a napkin fold gift box using some gorgeous Dare 2B Artzy papers and stamps!

Leslie

This is the second napkin fold gift box I’ve made. The first one is HERE (created last year) if you’d like to take a peek. Despite the complex look, it really is an easy gift box to make. And the sky is the limit with regard to cardstock, papers and occasion! I embellished the top of the box with some Dare 2B Artzy stamped and die cut feathers and YNS green glittered Gumdrops.

2019_1209013a

I used Stampin’ Up Soft Sky cardstock for the box base, and Dare 2B Artzy Botanical Breeze paper pack for the box layers and the napkin fold. It’s best to use double-sided papers because both sides are visible. Here’s a pic with the lid taken off, showing the napkin fold just barely beginning to open.

2019_1209014a

And here’s  a pic of the napkin fold fully open, revealing an inspirational sentiment in the bottom of the box! The sentiment is from one of the two Dare 2B Artzy stamp sets, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The ‘gauze’ texture stamp under the sentiment is from Paper Wings Productions.

And here’s one more look… how stinkin’ cute is this?!

Gingham Baby Accordion Album

5/1/20 Best Technique Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! It’s April 1st… do you have any April Fools jokes to play on anyone?! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m happy to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #45 – April Anything Goes! I created a sweet accordion album using pink, green, purple and yellow gingham and wood papers on a kraft base. The box looks like an album with a ribbon closure but doesn’t open (there’s your April Fools, lol!) – the accordion album slides down into the box from the top!

2019_1128006a

The adorable image on the front is Bugaboo’s Baby Moon digital image colored with Studio 71 alcohol markers and attached to the front on a wobble action spring.

2019_1128005a

Here are shots of the complete album. Note for future reference: Take all photos BEFORE attaching all the tabs to construct the accordion! It was very hard to photograph, lol! Each ‘page’ is embellished with a tiny die cut – I used a duck, an elephant, a giraffe, a heart and a star, colored them and applied some Crystal Clear Sparkle overlay marker.

Despite the trouble I had taking pics, I’m really pleased with how this turned out. The  colors are perfect for a baby album and the accordion construction is awesome!

Glittered Vintage Santa Ornaments

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!

2020_0213001a

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! ;)

Marisol Paper Doll Set

3/21/20 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

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!

2019_1128047a

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!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day treat box

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! ;)

2019_09040019a

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.

2019_09040020a

Here’s an angled shot…

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!

2020_0222001

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!

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!

2019_0908001a

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…
