Always

This is my last Valentine's project to share. I made this card for my husband. It is a pretty simple design, but I think the color combo is a classic. It may be hard to tell from the picture, but I used a foam square under every other heart to give the card a little dimension. While digging out all my valentine/love supplies, I found these Making Memories tags. I love it when I can use something from my stash. Thank you for looking!

Supplies: Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock), Making Memories (tag and brad), Fiskars (border punch), Martha Stewart Crafts (heart punch).

Cookie Pops with Tag

This gift I made for my daughter's daycare teachers doesn't have much "papercrafting" involved, but I thought I would share them quick. The cookie pops were made with this recipe. With a different "color scheme" they make a cute Valentine's gift. I packaged them with a treat bag tied with Bazzill Basics ribbon. The tag was made with cardtock, Doodle Kid font and my Martha Stewart Mini-Hearts edge punch. Thanks for looking.

Supplies: Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock and ribbon), Martha Stewart Crafts (edge punch).

Valentines with Lola Love

I found the cutest stamp set at Archiver's to use for my daughter's valentines - Lola Love from Our Craft Lounge. I loved that I could stamp her legs and body separately, you can make so many different looks that way. Plus, the images came out really nice. I will definately be getting more of their sets!

Now onto the specifics. I used my Bic Mark-Its and my two Copics to color in Lola. I wish I would've had different yellows and reds for better shading, but I think they turned out ok. I used my Scor-Pal to make the "boxes" for the bags of Mini M&Ms. I punched a hole through the candy bag and the box and tied the treat in place with the red ribbon. I used some red Stickles on the hearts for a little sparkle and tied a simple tag on the top with the recipient's name. I had fun making these, but was glad my daughter only needed 10 for her classmates. Thanks for looking!


Supplies: Our Craft Lounge (stamps), Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock), BIC Mark-Its (markers), Copic (markers), Ranger Ink (Stickles), May Arts (ribbon), Scor-Pal, Crop-a-dile.

Happy Birthday

A simple birthday card I made a while ago but never posted. I love this Making Memories paper, a nice pattern that isn't too overpowering. Thanks for looking!

Supplies: Making Memories (patterned paper), Deja Views (Rubons), May Arts (Ribbon), Stampin' Up (slot punch).

Delicious!

This is a birthday card I made for the Hero Arts Flickr challenge from last week, BIRTHDAY WEEK. I tried embossing with my Cuttlebug Embossing folder Swiss Dots on the Grafix transparency and thought it turned out cute. I tried my hand at coloring with my BIC Mark-It's and a new Copic marker I purchased. I was pleased with how my cupcake and cherry turned out. Also used my new Nestability dies as well - ovals, scalloped ovals and ribbon tag. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Supplies: Hero Arts (stamps), Tsukineko (ink), BIC Mark-it (markers), Copic (markers), Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock), Grafix (transparency), Nestabilities (dies), Provo Craft (embossing folder), May Arts (ribbon).

Love

I made this card for a sketch contest/challenge on the Papertrey Ink blog from Saturday, but didn't get the card posted in time. Thought I would still share it on here though. I finally had a chance to use my Martha Stewart Mini-Hearts edge punch and I think it is so cute! Thanks for looking.

Supplies: Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock), Doodlebug Design Inc.(stickers), Martha Stewart Crafts (border punch).

Bird Ornaments

This was another gift that I made for Christmas. I made a set of three of these based on a set that Jennifer Gallacher had made and shared on Two Peas. I made them for my Grandma, who has recently moved into a nursing home. I thought they might give her some joy to see them hanging in her room. This is a picture of one of the set I made. I used the same paper for all of them, just used different color buttons for the wings. I found the pattern for the bird on a website, can't remember where now. Thanks for looking.

Supplies: Basic Gray (pattern paper, buttons), Provo Craft (Swiss Dots embossing folder), Karen Foster (Scrapper's Floss) ribbon, ink.

Christmas Gift Tag Tins

This was another project I made this year. They were gifts for Natalie's daycare teachers. The idea came from a Papertrey Ink project that Nichole had posted on her blog. This tag tin is towards the bottom of her post. I went with shapes cut from my Cricut instead of stamping though. I thought they turned out pretty cute, hopefully Natalie's teachers will find a use for them.


Supplies: Bo Bunny (dot cardstock), Marvy Uchida (punch), Cricut with Christmas Cheer cartridge.

Christmas Gifts

It's been AGES since I posted! I have been busy with some crafts, just haven't had time to post anything with all of the Christmas shopping, baking and planning going on!

This project is what I did for my coworkers. I actually did the cups and cocoa cones for the local people and just the cocoa cones with the snowman tag for the out of town people. I found the idea from Lauren Meader's blog project. I love the snowman set that she used, but I had to improvise since I decided on this project too late to order the set from Papertrey Ink. Instead I found this snowman stamp by Savvy Stamps at Archivers and it was even half price! I used some Stickles to make a little snowfall around the snowman. I absolutely love this ribbon, it is the Bazzill Basics ribbon. After making 8 cups/cones and 7 additional cones, I still have a ton of it left!

Supplies: Bo Bunny (green dot cardstock), Savvy Stamps (snowman stamp), Bazzill Basics (ribbon), Stickles, EK Success (punches), Target (insulated cups)

Halloween Treat

This was a little treat I made for Natalie for her place setting on Halloween night. I made the ghost suckers for treat for her classmates so put a few of them in this little bucket from Target and added a simple "Boo" tag. It turned out pretty cute and Natalie loved it!
