Absent Lately....

Well Ladies,

I haven't been posting lately due to my ski accident. Still waiting to see the Knee Surgeon which
will take place today at 1pm. Unable to walk or just get up, so no stampin anytime soon. Sooooo
bummed, but trying to be a very good patient. I'm missing my craft room! Hope to be back on track soon! xoxo

Made a wish and you came true!

I am on a magical Forest Friends ride! Love this new set and am trying to

come up with some different looks for it. Have a great weekend all! x0x0

Parisian Breeze Box

This little box is made with the Parisian Breeze DSP paper from SU!.

The dimensions are a 7 1/2 square piece of cardstock for the box scored at

2' all the way around, the lid is 5 3/4 square scored at 1" all the way around.

To cover the sides the pieces 1 3/4 x 12 of Designer Paper, 1 3/4 x 3 1/2 Designer to cover the sides. The Butterfly is made with SU! Die. the

tag with made with the scallop punch stamped twice and then raised with

it with dimensionals and added acetate in the center for a window. xoxo

You crack me up! :D

This transparency box is filled with yep you guessed it! The incrediable Cadbury chocolate robin eggs, next to See's candies they are my next fav.

But anyway.... The chickie used is from the A Good Egg set from SU!

The paper is pink passion and the DSP is Sweet Always. xoxo

Sweet Cupcake

I've been making pop up cards lately, here is a simple one I made up for a birthday recently. It is made with the new SU! It's a loop stamp set and Hand Drawn Designer paper. x0x0

Pop-Up Forest Friends Card

I just love this new set from SU! It reminds me of Disneyland! Bambi to be

exact! Here is a pop up card made with the new set. The cover is with the

tree and then open to all the forest friends. You cannot see on the photo

but I added silver stickles to the trees for a magical touch. xoxo

Parisian Breeze Card Purse

I found this template on SCS and had to make it.
You will find it quite easy. You do need to purchase some 4 x6 clear boxes
as the center of the purse holds one box cut in half for the cards and envelopes. I have used the new SU! Parisian Breeze paper from SU! which is just beautiful. I designed the cards on more of a simple note so that you
can easily incorporate this project for your stamp camps. The stamp set used is the new 24/7 for the cards. x0xo

Easter Kids cards......

Little kiddos Easter cards made with the large SU! scallop die. Very cute and easy. xoxo

Pinkaliscious Cupcake Party!

Getting ready for 10 little girls to ascend upon my home today, here are the

treats they are going to make. I found the pattern on Martha.com for the dixie cup. It is a 3 oz one. I filled the cup with little pink hershey's Kissables and then put 5 cotton balls on top and then added the pink glittery pom pom. Decorate the rest as shown. Very easy! and so cute! xoxo

Flowers in a box

Ready for Spring? Well we still have snow! Here is a cute box of flower

seeds I picked up at the Dollar Tree. It's a pretty good size, 4 x6. I thought it was so cute that I had to do something with it. So, I took the candy slide

idea where you use valentine hearts and made it into this.

Start by "wrapping" your box like a present leaving the top open. Punch the top about a 1/2 inch down with the slit punch on both sides, slide your ribbon thru and push the box of flowers down into the sleeve, tie the ribbon into a bow and then close the bottom off as shown with double back tape. Then decorate it!

Gift Bag for a Friend...

This simple little bag is made with a brown lunch sack. Cut your lunch sack down to 5 1/2 inches tall x 5 1/4 wide. Cut your cardstock to fit, then

the overlay blue piece attaches to the back and folds over the top. The size on that is 7 1/4 x 5/ 1/4. Scored and folded over the top at the 2 3/4 mark.

Then add the greeting and embellishments. Have Fun! xoxo

Ahoy Maties!

These cute magnets were actually a set of pins I picked up at Walmart.You get 10 pins for $2.00, I then took the backing to the pins off and glued magnets to the back of them. Of course it just matches the Rockabilly paper from SU!. Check out the pirate's pierced nose! It's a jump hoop. xoxo

Candy Pinwheels......

I am planning and getting ready for my daughter's 8th birthday this week and came up with these candy pinwheels! So stinkin fun and easy! I will post the how to's a bit later. I filled them with nerds and chocolate candies.
Tutorial available.... xoxo

Top Note Purse full of cards

This is the cutest and easiest little purse. As long as you have the SU! Top Note Die and the large Scallop die you will be able to make them! I found it at stamping guru Becky Roberts blog. Thanks Becky! and then decided to add the 3x3 cards to it. I posted the instructions for you to follow below. When making the scallop portion
I cut the inner circle from my coluzzle on the 6 line from the center. Also
you will score the middle section of the scallop 1" in order for it to fit the top of the purse. So cute! xoxo

To you from me.....

Cute little double sided basket, great for little gifts or treats!

Gotta run family time! xoxo

Now Hatching.....

Look what hatched while you were sleeping! These little chickies I picked up at Micheal's I used to love them when I was little. So cute and sweet!

The plastic boxes were given to me by a friend of mine, I believe they are for storing embroidery thread. I filled them with the little mints and decorated the top. xoxo

LIttle Chickie Easter Card

Little Chickie Easter card. Get out your punches ladies! Very easy to put together. The pieces and measurements are below! xoxo

Luck of the Irish....

Here's an old twist on the tin box, wrap hershey's chocolate nuggets with

designer paper, cut 3 inch x 1 inch strip to cover the nuggets and then

assemble them into the box. Very easy! Then decorate the card and box.

My Dear Kind Friend....

Easter suprise....

Here is an awesome little project that you can make for any occassion.

I happen to chose Easter. I got the measurements from incrediably talented Nicole Heady's site. Thank you Nicole!

You do have to modify the size of the outside box depending on which brand

of cake you choose to buy, they do run different so note that. Otherwise here

are the measurements I used for pillsbury funfetti cakebox. You will need

2 pieces of cardstock cut 5 5/8 x 11 for outside box. Score both pieces at both ends 1 1/2. Then assemble around box with double back adhesive.

For the front flap with the crystal candies you will need to cut 1 sheet of the

same color cardstock of your box at 5 5/8 x 11 again, yet this time scoring at 1 inch at the bottom then at 7 3/4 and then at 8 3/4.

When done fold the pieces and adhere with the double back adhesive to the first box. Then for the inside holder for the crystals you will need a strip of cardstock 10 1/2 x 1/2 inch. Score each end at 3/4 and then score the rest of the strip every 1 1/2 so you get the peaks and mountains effect.

Moving on to the front pocket cut a piece of cardstock 7 x 6 in, laying the cardstock the 7 in long direction score 1/2 inch on three sides leaving the top untouched so that you can cut the scallop pocket. After you score the 1/2 inch then score all three sides at the 12 inch mark. I know this sounds confusing but you are making a pocket so keep that in mind. When all three sides are scored add adhesive and attach to the front of the box flap. You will then need to make the folded over flap to hold the box together. It should be cute at 1 1/2 x 4 then score it at 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 decorate it and attach it. Oh make sure you put your ribbon on very first before your pocket goes on! you will need to pieces of ribbon cut at 18 inches attach with double sided adhesive. Then decorate it, I used a vellum envelope for the pocket and filled it with those little hard sugar images you put on a cake. Hope I got all the directions right! Let me know if you need help! Have fun! I would love to see what you all come up with so email me yours! xoxo
