Snow Much Fun notepad

Today I have a little holiday notepad that I created for my chldren's teachers to go along with their holiday gifts. It features the Snow Much Fun stamp set and Holly Berry Bouquet DSP.

These are so easy to make! I took a pack of notepads at the office supply store & had the store cut them. Then I covered the top of the pad with patterned paper, added a magnet & decorated it, & voila! Cute little gift!

Telescoping Snowman

I've always wanted to try a telescoping card, but never got around to it. Then I was surfing the net the other day & saw a telescoping snowman, so I just had to make one of my own! This is the snowman closed:

Then you open him up, & he looks like this:

How cute is that?

To make a telescoping card, you cut out your 3 shapes & decorate them. Then you line them up how you want them. You take the middle shape, center it over the biggest shape upside down, and punch a hole where you want the brad to be. Then you do the same with the smallest shape, center it over the middle shape upside down, then add the brad. There is a great tutorial over on Splitcoast.

Hershey Nugget Treat Holder

I just love making edible gifts during the holidays, don't you? Today's project is a super quick & easy way to dress up a Hershey's Nugget. It features the Two Tags Die for the Big Shot & the Snow Much Fun stamp set.

How cute is that?

I die cut the smaller tag in Real Red cardstock, then scored it 1 1/4" and 2 3/8" from the flat end of the tag. I covered my chocolate in Holly Berry Bouquet DSP, then attached it to the tag with Snail. I folded the tag around the chocolate, securing it with Snail.

25 & Counting Advent Calendar

How is your weekend going? We have a busy one... holiday party last night, we're getting our Christmas tree today, then we have another party tonight before my daughter's school dance. Should be lots of fun!

I have a customer (hi Lee!) who really wanted to make the Advent Calendar pictured in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I told her that we'd do a class on it, but I've been procrastinating... it seemed like so much work! Well, I finally sat down today & made it, & it is soooo adorable! I love it!

I pretty much stuck to the same design in the mini, just changing up a few things to make it easier for the class. I am going to get a 12 x 12 wooden frame from the craft store & paint it red, & this will be a holiday decoration that we will enjoy for years to come!

The stamp set is 25 & Counting, which coordinates with the Peekaboo Frames Die for the Big Shot and the new 1 inch square punch. These 3 products made putting this together a snap!

Bigz Holiday Stocking Die

I'm in love! This new Holiday Stocking Die for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine is awesome!

Isn't it adorable!? I think I'll make lots of these to put on my Christmas gifts this year.

There are lots of new products from the Holiday Mini Catalog on this project including the Bigz Holiday Stocking die, Silver Glimmer Paper, Snow Burst Embossing folder, & Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Buttons.

I die cut 2 pieces of Real Red cardstock with the Stocking Die, then ran 1 of the pieces through again in the Embossing Folder. I adhered the 2 together to form a pocket for my card.

The Silver Glimmer Paper is so sparkly! It makes the perfect accents on the stocking. I love how the die cuts out the cuff, toe, & heel separately, so you can use any combination of papers.

The greeting from the Curly Cute stamp set was heat embossed with the Silver Embossing Powder.

Envelope Easter Basket

Hello! Quick post today... my nephew is in town visiting us this weekend. Today I have an Easter Basket made from an envelope to share with you.

It was embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing folder. I used the Blossom Party die in my Big Shot and Subtles cardstock to decorate it & a Pretty in Pink satin ribbon. So pretty! I think I'll go back & add a Happy Easter sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bring on the Cake Flower

As you probably know by now, I am obsessed with making 3D flowers for my crafting projects! They look so awesome on cards & scrapbook pages, whether made from designer series paper or cardstock.

Today's project is a simple birthday card featuring the Bring on the Cake stamp set with a 3D flower that really makes this card a "wow".

This flower was made with 4 flowers punched from Regal Rose cardstock and the Fancy Flower punch. I sprayed them with water, scrunched them up, then unfolded them & shaped them to dry.

The stem is from the Tasteful Trim die for the Big Shot, & the leaf is from the Build a Blossom punch.

I stamped the Happy Birthday greeting on the white cardstock before running it through the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

STAMPS: Bring on the Cake (121958 clear mount or 121889 wood)
