Gift Bag & Matching Card


I decided to make my bag match my adorable card, didn't take much and I really like how it turned out. I used a Recollections paper pack I picked up at Michael's, ribbon, 1 3/4 circle punch, 2 3/8 scalloped circle punch and a large designer label punch. All the punched are Stampin UP

Stampin UP Milk Carton & Holder


I just got the Milk Carton Die from Stampin Up and was wanting to make the cute holder I've seen on so many other blogs, I found the instructions on Chiaki Haversticks blog @ http://www.stampingpro.com/ I also used Old Olive paper, 1 in circle punch, library clips, Owl punch and Hodgepodge Happiness stamp set all from Stamping Up. The polka dot paper is from Making Memories.

St. Patrick's Day Ribbons & Mini Card

For the ribbon I used Stampin Up's 1 3/4" circle punch and the 2 3/8" scalloped circle punch. For the center I made rosettes by cutting strips of paper 7 x 1" then folded every quarter inch.It will start looking like an accordion. It took two of these strips to make one rosette. Then added charm and ribbon with hot glue and a pin to clip on clothing. For the card I used regular craft paper, my word punch from Stampin up, I didn't have any St Patty's Day stamps so i cheated and used the printer. :)  Last I cut a few hearts to look like clovers.

I still had one of these stocking stuffers I made for Christmas. I got the idea from a lady on ebay, figured I'd try and make my own.

First Imagine Card

This is one of the first cards I created with my Cricut Imagine. I've had it almost two months but I haven't made anything I draw a blank when I look at the machine. :( Now that the Gypsy and Imagine have been updated maybe I'll get rolling, for this I used the Nursery Tails Cart and the background paper I took from the Anna Griffin Hanna Collection/Girls and a little bling with my Irock

Mini Boo Books


I found these Halloween mini books in the Target dollar bins I made four with pictures of my kids at the Pumpkin Patch and on Halloween night. The spiders i used were plastic rings I cut the part that would go around your finger then added glitter and a little bling to the pages. I plan to pass these out to the grandma's. I'm also positing a pic of what my work area looks like... I know it's messy and it pretty much always looks this way.

Dollar Tree Bags

I love looking for deals, crafting can be so expensive. I found these blank favor bags at Dollar Tree so I bought 5 packages I just knew I could make something cute !! I used  Stampin Up butterfly punch, melon mambo ink, very vintage jumbo wheel, one sheet of vellum paper to punch out the butterflies twice for each bag to give the 3D effect. I stamped the butterflies with Flight of the Butterflies stamp set also from Stampin Up and I picked up the rhinestones from the dollar bins at Michaels.
