Today I have another card using the Lattice Die. This time I used Spice Cake paper and Soft Suede cardstock. Yesterday I ran my DSP and Lattice piece through an embossing folder in the Big Shot. I didn’t do it with card but kind of wish I had. It adds a bit more texture. What do you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by!
I had fun today! I was able to work on several cards and play around in my craft room. My craft room is actually one wall of my bedroom but I still like to call it my craft room. This card was inspired by one I saw on Andrea Walford’s Paper Crafters Library website. I used the Lattice Die with my Big Shot to create the center section. My paper (Holly Berry Bouquet DSP) will be gone in a few days! It can be found in the Holiday Mini and you can only purchase it until January 3rd. I made another one with paper from the Spice Cake collection, which will also be gone next week and I’ll post it tomorrow. Thanks so much for stopping by! If you would like to place an order before this paper goes away, you can go to my SU! website or email me!
Life these days has been at a hurried pace. I wanted to quickly post pictures of recent projects before Xmas is over!
Happy Holidays!!!!
Here is a card my Hostess Club members made last month. I used several items from the Holiday Mini to make it: Mica flakes, Snow Burst Embossing folder, and Shaker Frames. There are so many fun items in the Holiday Mini! I hope to try out some other items that I bought and post some cards later this week. The stamp set is called Polar Party. I used Staz-on and then colored him in with my colored pencils and blender pen.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

My project today are some sour cream containers that I made tonight for my Hostess Club group. I put a little thank you inside for each of them to thank them for their recent order. They are really very easy to make and I think they turned out cute!
Thank you for visiting! I will have some more projects posted in the next few days.
Take Care!
You could definitely say I am thinking about candy these days and how to incorporate it into my projects. It must be because Halloween is not too far away!
I’ve made a purse like today’s project before but it was much larger and I put 3×3 cards in it . You can see it HERE. I changed the measurements up a bit so that it could hold a small piece of candy instead. I tried making it with different paper but then decided to make my own DSP again although this time I used different colors: Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Cajun Craze. Normally I would have used Old Olive but I checked my Color Coach and it recommended Pear Pizzazz. I used my Big Shot (of course) and the Scallop Circle #2 die as well as my Perfect Dots embossing folder. My purse strap is used with Peach Parfait 1/2 inch Stitched-Poly Ribbon. I will be making more of these with some different colors and will post them soon.

This little purse is the perfect size for two pieces of candy. It could be given to someone to brighten their day or it would be a cute shower favor. The idea for this purse was inspired by a project I saw on Stamping School.com but I changed it up a little bit to make it my own. You can see the candy in the picture below.
The paper I used on the front of my purse and to wrap around the candy is Paisley Petals. Instead of putting paper on the lower half of the purse, I chose to use my Big Shot and emboss the paper. I don’t know if you can see it, but on the front of the purse there’s a little Old Olive brad to simulate a snap on the purse. I used velcro to close the purse shut and used our new Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade for my strap.
Have a great day!

Today I have another mini pizza box that I was able to make pretty quickly. I used the Batty for You stamp set which has so many cute images that it is always hard to decide which one I want to use. Each of my scalloped layers and the two round circles are popped up with dimensionals. In this size box you could put candy, a small gift or 3×3 cards and envelopes.

Ink: Basic Black
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Basic Rhinestones, Paper Piercer, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Today I have another card for you using the Dahlia Fold technique. I used the same DSP that I used HERE but simply reversed my paper as I was folding it. You could make these all day with different papers and get a completely different looking card each time! I just may need to make a few more of these!! Hope you are having a great week!

I had so much fun last week playing with my French Foliage set that I decided to play with it some more over the weekend. These colors make me think of Fall and I am so wishing for cooler weather — the kind where you need a sweater, not too cool, not too hot. Last week it was 90-100 degrees here. Whew! Too hot for me in September.
I started my card by stamping my leaf in Cajun Craze in random places around my Very Vanilla cardstock. Cajun Craze it not a color I usually gravitate to but in the last week I’ve been reaching for it a lot. Then I used the same stamp and used Pumpkin Pie. My green leaf was stamped with Old Olive. Something else that can be done, which I did not do on this card, is to sponge the same colors all over the images. I did try it on another card I made over the weekend but I didn’t like the effect. I have done this with other stamps though and it can have a very beautiful effect. My sentiment is from a new stamp set called Friendly Phrases in the Idea Book and Catalog.
