One of my favorite projects to make is treat holders and packaging. There are so many different things that you can make and you can find hundreds of different ideas online. Today’s project is one of my favorites and is so easy to make. This is called a “diaper fold” treat holder. There are four simple steps to make this packaging. Since I do so much better with visual images, I’m including a diagram on how to do the folds.Using the images … [Read more...] about Father’s Day is Around the Corner
April Customer Thank You
Today I’m sharing my April Thank You card that I sent out to those that made a purchase during the month of April.

This card is definitely one that's easy to replicate if you have a bunch of cards you need to make. To give the card a little something … [Read more...] about April Customer Thank You
Happy Belated Mother’s Day!
I usually try to share gift and card ideas before the actual date so you can have a chance to recreate them for your own gift-giving. However, I had to hold the pictures of my Mother's Day gift for my mom until after I gave it to her. I'm sure you understand. I think one of the prettiest Suites in the upcoming new Catalog is the Magnolia Lane Suite. This Suite has a gorgeous stamp set and coordinating dies, fabulous pattern paper, and … [Read more...] about Happy Belated Mother’s Day!

You Fill My Cup
As we get closer to the end of the current Catalog (just one more month), I find myself trying to use those products that are retiring that didn't get enough love this year. The Tea Room Suite is definitely one of those products. I think I've had these stamps and paper for months now and they just never made it onto my desk until now. Both the Time For Tea stamp set and Spot of Tea framelits are retiring in June. This bundle is perfect … [Read more...] about You Fill My Cup
April Paper Pumpkin Revisited
After making up my April Paper Pumpkin kit, I wasn't quite ready to put away the stamp set. I've got a few ideas for projects for this stamp, and here's the first one. I used this flower stamp to make a completely different card. I stamped the flower three times on Poppy Parade paper and cut out the three different layers of petal, with each layer being slightly smaller than the one below. To give dimension to the flower, I crinkled the … [Read more...] about April Paper Pumpkin Revisited
