Fall is in the Air!

I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest done by Julie Scapara  and made this 3-d version for the craft show I do each Fall.  I really like how they turned out.  I have made 9 so far and added miniature Hershey Bars in them.  Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Blessings

 

I went shopping yesterday and found these birch slices and snowmen at Hobby Lobby.  I wasn't sure if I could stamp on them or not but gave it a try and they and it worked perfectly.  I wish I had bought more because these will be perfect for teacher gifts.  Thanks for stopping by!

Little Stockings

Love these cute little stockings, I plan on using them to hold money and gift cards for my big kiddos.  I don't buy gifts for them anymore because they would rather pick them out for themselves and that saves me a lot of time.  Thanks for stopping by!

More Succulents

I love when I can use my stamps ans dies for making home decor as well as cards!  This little pot of succulents is so pretty on my desk and I won't kill it by forgetting to water it.

I found this flower ribbon in my stash as I was trying to clean out and organize this week.  It's retired but I don't mind.  Thanks for stopping by!

Ready to Pop

Here are some of the favor boxes I made for a baby boy shower.

She also wanted one of these little carriages as a decoration.  Thanks for stopping by!

Ice Cream Favors

Whenever I am shopping, I am always looking for things that will go with a stamp set of a die that I have.  I saw these cute ice cream bars at either the Dollar Store or Dollar Tree, can't remember which.  They are filled with bubbles which is my most popular request when I do kids parties as a party favor. 

I used the Cool Treats stamps and dies to create a little tag to tie on them, love when it comes together so easily like this.  I don't have a kids party booked right now but I plan on having these at my upcoming craft show and then if I have leftovers I will put them in the party section of my shop.  Thanks for stopping by!

You're Sweet

Today I have more treats to share that I made for my craft show. I found these jellybeans that are ice cream flavors, these are strawberry so I added a strawberry to the tag since there is also a red raspberry flavor that is almost the same color it helps me identify the flavor.  The little strawberry is from the Cool treats stamp set.

Here are the red raspberry ones.  I knew I had a raspberry stamp from several years ago and finally found it.  The rose red seam binding ribbon matched perfectly.

I am working on the other flavors and will share those tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by!

Timeless Tags

I am getting a lot done for my craft show, I made a few more of these Berry Baskets but ran out of plastic eggs so they are all empty for now.

 

I used the Timeless Tags Thinlets from the Occasions catalog and the Glimmer Paper from Sale a Bration to add a little extra pizazz to them.

 

This one is my favorite color combination.  Thanks for stopping by!

Bunny Butts

Today's project is another effort to use up some of my hoarded items, the Circle Treat Cups.  My kids call these Bunny Butts!  I still have another whole box of these to use up but I ran out of M&M's because a little boy named Dalton found them and ate most of them.  Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Berry Basket

Today I have another project that I am making multiples of for my Spring Craft Show in a few weeks.  I used the retired Berry Basket die to make this little Easter Basket.  I love Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party together, I also made another one with the colors reversed but gave it away to a friend.

These are small eggs that I filled with coordinating colors of M&M's and the egg on the tag is something I had left over from a scrapbook page.  I have been trying to use up some of my hoarded items before my husband seeks an intervention...I have it bad!  thanks for stopping by!

Craft Show Treats

I am working on a Spring craft show for this month and I found these Starburst Jellybeans in Ice Cream Flavors.  This one is Orange Sherbert and I separated a few of them out and put them into one of the Tiny Clear boxes and decorated with a tag.  While this one is for Easter, I think I will do some  and use the Tasty Treats stamp set for the tags as well.  thanks for stopping by!

Window box Valentine

Today I have another Window Box project, this one a Valentine in nontraditional Valentine colors.  It could also be used to hold a small gift for a wedding.  I stamped the box all over with the flower image from the stamp set So In Love from  the Occasions catalog using Wisteria Wonder ink onto Wisteria Wonder card stock.  I think the wood accents and the lace doily give it a vintage appearance.  Thanks for stopping by!
 

Go Patriots!

 

We have a Super Bowl party at our church every year and it's a lot of fun.  We watch the game on the big screen and everybody brings snacks to share.  I am taking our favorite snack which is a Trail Mix of sweet and savory items.  I thought I would make about twenty of these popcorn boxes to share as well.  We have  been big Patriot fans since my husband was a high school football coach when we first got married and had two players from his team go to play for the Patriots.  Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Hooked on You

 

I have had some problems with getting my photos to upload so I haven't posted in a few days, I don't know what I did to get it to work but just thankful that it is.   This is Dalton's Valentines to give to his classmates for this year.  I have Whales in this bag but I bought Goldfish today for the ones he will share.  Ava has her choice narrowed down to 5 different ones so she may have decided by Valentines day.  Thanks for stopping by!

Cool Treats

I have a little box of 3x3 cards to share today made with the Cool Treats Suite.  My kiddos get invited to a lot of birthday parties so these will come on handy.

 

I made two of each design and left the sentiment off the last one since I sometimes give their teachers a gift certificate to Dairy Queen at the end of the school year as a thank you.  Thanks for stopping by!

Window Box

I think this little box just might be my favorite thing in the Occasions Catalog which you can order from starting tomorrow!  I made both my big girls one to hold little keepsakes in.  this one is for Sadie.

 

 It comes with three different dies to decorate the sides of the box with and one for the top plus several others.

This one is for Shelby, she is re-decorating her room and is using Black, white, and Copper as her colors so I lined  the diecut spaces with Copper foil paper.

I also added a second diecut layer on the top of this one.  Thanks for stopping by!

This is For You

I sold more than I anticipated last week so I have been busy this weekend making teacher gifts and have even made a few more Christmas cards.  I made this box to hold some treats I found that are perfect for this pretty Presents and Pinecones DSP.

Here is whats inside, bell shaped Reeses candy.  I also found some bells that are Peppermint/dark chocolate flavored but haven't made a box for them yet.  Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas

My pastor's grandmother orders something to give to her Sunday School class every year and this is what she picked out this year(also what she gave them last year but  she said since they liked them, it was ok).  She is probably close to or already 90 years old and still drives and teaches Sunday School, I admire her a lot and always look forward to when she comes to my shop.  I hope that when I am that old, I am still as active as she is!  You can find directions for these chap stick holders here Thanks for stopping by!

Ho!Ho!Ho!

This is the treat I made for Dalton and Ava to give to their teachers.  It contains a hot chocolate packet, a Hershey Bar, and a small bag of marshmallows.  I used the retired Square Pillow box thinlet die and cut off the top two flaps.  Thanks for stopping by!

Lip Balm Holders

I get a lot of request for directions on these little lip balm holders so I thought I would write up the directions.  The main part is from the retired Two Tags Die but you could easily cut just the paper and add a decorative edge to the tops and fold it to form the bottom.  One of the die cuts from this die measure 4 x 2 3/4 and are scored at 1 3/4 from the bottom edge.  I cut  two of them and glued them together at the score lines.

 

The part that holds the lip balm measures 2 x 3 1/8 and is scored at 5/8,1 1/4,1 7/8, and 2 1/2 and then glued into the center of the two die cuts.

Just in case you are interested, I do these dress boxes in most of the Disney princesses for birthday parties as well as wedding dresses for weddings.  They have a small box built in which could hold small favors such as jewelry or candy.  I ship them flat but they are easily formed.

 

Here is the original one I made a few years ago.  If you have further questions, let me know.  thanks for stopping by!
