Happy Birthday! Who doesn't love cupcakes?

This card is such a bright card. I love the colors together so much! This card would be great to receive at any age. Plus you get to color with glitter and sharpies! who doesn't love that? This is another project that we taught at our Spring Stamp Camp. If you missed out on this camp don't worry we will host another one in the Fall to get you ready for the holidays. Crazy to think about Fall when our area seems to think it is still Winter and not Sspring! Any who...This is the perfect card to make me want to think Summer is just around the corner!!!

 Don't you just love the fold? It is perfect for a great message as well as a gift card. I offer Stampin' Up! gift cards so if you are in search of a perfect gift I think you have found it :)

A Vintage Happy Birthday

Last summer I was able to meet some amazing Stampin Up Demonstrators and one who has so much creative that I am just in awe of her! I received this card from her as a swap during one of regular monthly meetings. I can't take any credit for it but I wanted to share it with you because it is so gorgeous!

As a side note, I no longer have the card as I gave it to my sister for her birthday!

A Valentine's Party!

My sweet niece (and her mom & dad) moved so close to me that I get to craft with her! I am so happy she is here! I was even more excited that I had someone to make Valentine cards with.

Well little did I know that in the few short years that my own children have been out of elementary school that things have changed! She had to make 36 handmade (YEAH!) cards or gifts and she had to write a sweet little one liner about each person she was giving a gift too.

I just loved it, of course I gave her 3 projects varying in difficulty and she picks the hardest one :) Here she is with her great little projects!

This project was made the Big Shot Milk carton die, if you are interested in the directions please leave me a comment and I will email them to you!

Have a great day and happy stampin!

Where's the witch??

I can't believe we are just a few days away from the end of October! Holy Moly where did the year go? So much happened this year that I guess time just fly's by when you having fun right?

I am really trying to stick to Halloween projects for the rest of the month but I will tell you there are so many cute Thanksgiving and Christmas crafts calling my name! Anyhow, a few days ago Stampin Up asked their Artisan award winners to post a Halloween project on their Facebook fan page and Heather Summers (yes, I stalk her blog) posted this cute Rosette project and I couldn't resist recreating it.

How cute is this?

1. Using Rich Razzleberry cut two strips 1” x 11”
2. Using Basic Black cut two strips 1½”  x 11”
3. Score every ¼”  and fold "mountain to peak"
4. Attach a piece of Sticky strip to both ends of one Basic Black and one Rich Razzleberry strip. Attach each color together, forming a circle.
5. Squeeze the circle together as small as you can and use a hot glue gun to hold in place. I let it dry on one side and flip it over and glue the other side. It may be over kill but I have never had one come apart.
6. Spray both Rosettes with Shimmer Mist paint. Let me know if you need directions for making this, it is super easy!
7. Attach the Rich Razzleberry rosette to the Basic Black.
8. Using Basic Black punch 1 3/4 Scallop Circle out. Spray with Shimmer Paint.
9. Emboss it using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder. Spray with Shimmer Mist paint.
10. Using the Small & Medium Basic Rhinestones apply them alternating between each of the scallops.
11. Using Rich Razzleberry punch out the small flower from the Boho Blossom punch. Using Basic Black punch out the medium flower. Spray with Shimmer mist and wad them up. Let it dry (it is really quick) and unfold. This gives your flower some texture!
12. Stamp Happy Halloween on a ¾” x 2 ½” piece of Rich Razzleberry. Cut the ends.
13. Using a black Sharpie color the Silver Brad. Then attach the brad through the middle of the flower and Happy Halloween strip. Attach to the scallop circle.
14. Glue the scallop to the top of the Rich Razzleberry rosette.
15. Create your witches boots. You can free hand them or buy a pre-made die cut. I embossed the black of the boot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder. I attached Basic Rhinestones for the laces.
16. Attach the witch’s boots to the bottom of the Cellophane Bags. I used sticky strip to attach the bags. I didn’t want my boots to fall off! I worked hard on them J Fill the bags with candy and close.
17. Attach sticky strip to the top of the Cellophane Bags.
18. Cut out the Top Note using Basic Black. Emboss it using the Perfect Polka Dots folder. Fold it in half to form a card.
19. Attach the Cellophane Bags filled with candy to the front of the Top Note Die.
20. Attach the Rosette on top of the bags
21. Enjoy your Eye Candy ;)

As always I would love to help you create this super fun project, we can switch out the witch for Turkeys or Santa’s Elves! Oh the possibilities!
