On Monday I shared the Christmas Gifting Tag Kit. The kit makes nine tags. But what do you do with the leftovers if you don't use all nine tags? You could save them for next year. But why not go ahead and use them now to make a home decor piece? At OnStage a couple weeks ago, one of the ladies shared a lovely project using this small wreath with the trees and the lights. I asked her where she found the wreath and she was kind enough to tell … [Read more...] about Joy

Christmas Gifting Kit
With the Holidays quickly approaching, I'm looking for quick and easy projects to get my list done on time. I love our Kit Collection for quick and easy projects. One of the Kits released earlier this Fall is the Christmas Gifting Kit. This is a kit that makes nine large tags. The back side of the the tags has a pocket intended to be a gift holder, which you could add a bit of cash or a gift card too. These would look great on hanging on a … [Read more...] about Christmas Gifting Kit
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!

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
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
Snowy Village
I'm back today with another project using the classic Cloche stamp set. I love the tiny snowy village in this stamp set.. the serene look of the tiny houses all blanketed with snow. That gorgeous pattern paper is from the Peaceful Place Suite along with the matching Subtle Shimmer Sequins. The sequins are not self-adhesive, but they are so pretty and so worth the effort to glue them down individually. I used this card for my September … [Read more...] about Snowy Village

I love snow globes. The magic of watching the glitter and sparklers swirl around in the water. It just makes the snowy village so magical. Today I have a project using the Cloche stamp set and dies.

The background is stamped on the card base … [Read more...] about Christmas Cloche

Make life a joy! The Joyful Life stamp set is one of those hidden gems in the back of the Holiday Catalog. The images so cute but there is no matching die or punch to coordinate. I know a lot of people will pass this up just because it doesn't have matching dies. But don't let that stop you from getting this set. This set has the cutest critter stamps. I just love the bear and bunny taking the bike out for spin among the Fall leaves. This … [Read more...] about Friends Like You…
