One of my favorite products in the Sale-a-Bration Catalog is the Sunshine & Rainbows pattern paper. This was actually the first item in my cart! I love the bright, fun, bold patterns. Sometimes they are a bit of challenge to use though because a whole card front of a bold pattern can overwhelm whatever you're putting on the front of the card. This pattern paper coordinates with the Rainbow of Happiness of bundle in the January-June … [Read more...] about Sunshine & Rainbows

Happy New Year!
On Wednesday I shared that fabulous treat holder with the mini coffee cups and box. I ended up with some extra bits when making the treat holder, so I turned my leftovers into cards. Here is the first card using up the things I used to decorate the coffee cup. I added the gorgeous pinecone paper as my background and it pairs so well with the pinecone stamps. My second card used up some of the label pieces and strips of pattern paper … [Read more...] about Happy New Year!
Friends Like You
Even though Christmas has passed, I still have a couple things to share to for the end of the July-December Catalog. First up is this adorable treat holder box and goodies. The gold polka-dotted box makes the perfect little tray to hold a couple sweet treats. This box just fits the plastic 3 x 3" clear boxes along with the Mini Coffee Cups. I decorated the clear box with a wrap around the outside. I used the Warm Wraps die to cut the band … [Read more...] about Friends Like You

Here Comes Santa
Happy Christmas Eve! Tonight Santa will visit millions of homes all over the world bringing joy to people everywhere. Even though I'm an adult, I still enjoy the magic of the season and Santa. Today's project was made by one of my downline, Lyndi. The tiny frame fits an image about 3" x 3". This is just perfect for the tiny Santa. Lyndi stamped his suit on our white Velvet sheets and his face and beard on our shimmery white paper. I love the … [Read more...] about Here Comes Santa
Merry
I was at a local craft store not too long ago and came across these inexpensive wood frames in their discount bin. I thought they'd be great for crafting. I wanted to keep this simple so I left the frame the natural wood rather than painting it. I cut my pattern paper to fit the inside of the frame. I do find with inexpensive frames like this, you really want to cut to fit it as they tend not to be a standard measurement. The green pattern … [Read more...] about Merry
What Can I do with a Paper Pumpkin kit?
Periodically, people ask me what they should do with Paper Pumpkin kits they don't like. My suggestion is to use all the pieces to make something you love. I actually loved the November Kit, Gifts Galore, but I really wanted to stretch all the pieces. This is what the Kit directions have you make. These treat boxes are just the cutest. The directions have you use two of each snowman, tree, and presents - one on each side of the treat box. I … [Read more...] about What Can I do with a Paper Pumpkin kit?
