Thankful Gift Ensemble!

This project provides a plethora of ways to give thanks for the coming Thanksgiving Holiday, or for anytime you want to just be thankful! In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to quickly transform a Spiral Memo Pad into a Personal Thankful Journal. The Gift Bag Punch Board makes the coordinating Note Card Holder a snap to create, and just the right size to hold a plentiful stack of Note Cards to write all your thoughts and memories on. You’ll also make a simple, but trendy Tagged Mason Jar to hold all your thankful Note Cards. Be sure to include a Project Life Journaling Pen to write on the Note Cards that will fill the Jar. And, of course, the Thinking of You Card is the perfect partner to any or all of these projects for gift giving! 

This project was made by ME!! And you can get the tutorial when you subscribe to the month of October over at Craft Project Central.

They are both quick and simple - but oh, so cute for Halloween gift giving!

"Basket of Wishes" Scraplings

There are several interpretations of “scraplings”, and in this tutorial a scrapling is a card (or tag or any other creation) that gets its start from a scrap of cardstock or paper . . . or both!  Although the cards in this tutorial get their start from full sizes of cardstock and are presented with exact measurements, the intention is that you will feel inspired to create cards and tags of all shapes and sizes from your stash of scraps.  When you need to create a quick card but the scraps all seem too small, think outside the box and use them to create a non-standard sized card.  The good news is that scraplings should fit any size (mailable) envelope that you have on hand, and the recipient will enjoy the odd size/shape of the card!  This tutorial includes instructions for making a pocket holder that has been custom-designed to perfectly hold the set of “scraplings”.  Another thing to love about this tutorial is that it features one set of designer paper and (mostly) one stamp set.

Creation Station Blog Hop - To Die For!

Welcome to Creation Station's Blog Hop for October! Our mission was to show you ways to use Framelits Dies in ways that aren't necessarily the straight forward, typical use - but maybe something a little out-of-the-box! So I paired the idea with some fun, Halloween ideas~

I used the Lots of Labels Framelits as my base for the project! - And I used it in a pretty typical way on the card front. But then, I also used it to create a little Hershey's Kiss treat holder...

On the card, I used the #5 Lots of Labels Framelit to create a spot for the Suite Sayings sentiment. I also used the Brick Wall TIEF for the background, a little Halloween Night Specialty DSP and some Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper for a little extra touch of somethin' somethin'... But the star of the card front is the Skeleton from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set... 

He's simply stamped in Basic Black, with his little Pumpkin Pie bow tie - all punched so easily with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch!

And my favorite part of the project is the Treat Holder (cuz everybody likes a little treat!). It's a die cut from #7 (the largest) Lots of Labels Framelit using Basic Black Cardstock. And it holds three Hershey Kisses~

Here's a quick tutorial - Place the 90 degree corner at 1-1/16" and score. Then turn 180 degrees and do the same from the other 1-1/16" corner. You'll end up with a 1" section in the middle.

On the middle section, I used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere three Hershey Kisses! - Super easy! Fold up the sides, tie the top together, and add all the cute stuff on the front - tahdah!!

Hope you like my project! And I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop...

Cookie Cutter Halloween for a Challenge!

So here's the Halloween card I made for the Creating Pretty Cards Sketch Challenge! I wasn't sure if I would really use the Cookie Cutter Halloween or Christmas stamp sets - but they sure are addicting once you stamp a few! I kind of thought they were just for kids - but I now I'm pretty sure they're for kids of ALL ages! :)

Here's the fun part of the card - that it has a window front!

Here's the Sketch if you want to join the Challenge~
