Thanksgiving Treat Box

                                                                                       These boxes look so much better in person.

Cat and Moon Treat Box

I made this treat box with the October 31st cartridge and the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge.  I also used Spook-Tacula Chipbox by K Company on it too.

Happy Father's Day

Sketch Challenge

I did this card for Paper Craft Planet sketch challenge.

Rita's Craft Warehouse Challenge

This what my sister-inlaw did for our June Craft Wharehouse challenge.  Isn't it cute!

Pink Stamper Challenge

Did This for the color challenge for the Pink Stamper, green, yellow and brown.  The paper is from My Minds Eye.  It's felted.  I love the feel of it.  The bag is diferent from the Pink Stamper page.  I don't know how to fix it.

This card was done for June's card challenge for

Craft Wharehouse in Salem,OR.

They give us the bit's and pieces of paper

 and we have to come up with

something.

Loved this paper, so I made a simple card so it wouldn't take away from the paper.

This was done for a card exchange.  I got the idea from Craft Warehouse where they used a envelope for the card. You slip a gift card behind the bubbles. Well I didn't like the look on the inside so I changed it.  And this is how it came out.

This is the inside of the card.  I took a piece of card stock 5 1/2 by 9 inches and scored it center both length and width.  Cut out the bottom left side after scoring it.  Before folding the bottom right side up, cut off about

1 inch off and then use a punch to decorate it.  Fold that right bottom piece up and glue  the edges down .  Do not glue the top( that's so you can put a gift card in it).

On the front I use foam mounting on the corners so I could slip a ribbon through it to tie it shut.

I Thought this would be a cute card and gift bag all in one for Mother's Day

I did this card for my grandson's birthday invatations.  I got the idea from my sister-in-law, Rita.  She did a card like it for a challenge.  I went in my back yard and got some sand out of the sand box and put it on the card to make it look more real.

Craft Wharehouse May Challenge

Cricut Challenge

Coffee,Chocolate, and Friends

Did these two cards for a challenge. Spots,Dots and Polka Dots

I did this card for a sketch challenge this morning. It was at Paper Craft Planet. This is a great site to go to. Just learned about it. There is alot of information there if you want it.

This is kinda of a funny story! This bag started out to be a normal

2-5-7-10 bag, but as it ended up its not. I wasn't paying real close

attention when I was cutting and it got cut 1 1/2"to short. Instead

tossing it and starting over, decided to keep going and see how it

would come out. Re scored the top and used Martha Stewart

boarder punch on the top. I also punched out a liner for the top to

and set it a hair off so you can see the contrast. Next I cut

Spellbinders(Nestabilities) Label Eight in two different sizes.

Used some ribbon, flower and a brad. Walla! The project is done,

just a little shorter. The saying is "Stranger's are just friends waiting

to happen". It would be a nice little gift for a Temp in the office or

a new neighbor.

This is the favor boxes I am doing for my daughter's wedding in September. These boxes were found on Tie the Knot cartridges. They were done at 8 1/2" I cut out 100 wedding dresses and embossed them with the cuttlebug embossing folder. It takes longer than you think. But it's easy on the pocket book. I have the Tuxes cut out too, but I haven't scored them yet. I got to thinking that this cartridge would be great for prom's. So I came up with a couple of prom dresses below. Hope you like them.

I had a great time doing the prom Theme. There are some great paper's out there to pick from. On this one I gathered some ribbon on the top for a ruffle. It would be great to give this to your daughter on prom night for her and her date or for your son and his date. Let me tell you the guys like having the treat just as much as the girls do. It would also be great to do if you were on the prom committee for everyone on the tables. What a great decorations. The sky is the limits on your imagination with these favor boxes.

Mother's Day Purse Treat Box

I Started with the pizza box for the base. Thanks to Jen Muro for coming up with the

Pizza Box. The purse shape I came up with. It's a take off from the Top Note Box.

I was trying to think out side the box.

1). I used Winter Wonderland Cartridge.

a). Use shift key and then use the 3rd key

b). 2nd row 4th across width 4.27 and height 4.99

c). cut 2

2). I used wire ribbon to use for handles for the purse.

a). attach with heavy duty double sided tape on the pizza box. You can find

the instruction to the pizza box at splitcoaststamper.com

3). Top of pocket was cut from Winter Wonderland Cartridge at

Shift key and then use the 3rd key, 2nd row 4th across Width 3.27 and Height 3.63

4). Pocket dimension are 1 3/4" X 3"

a). I used Martha Stewart score board to use for scoring.

b). Score at 1/8" and 1/4" on 3 sides.

c). cut the corners off on the bottom,where the bottom and sides meet.

5). Fold on folds and attach the top of the pocket to the bottom of the pocket.

6). Attach to purse using heavy duty double sided tape.

7). Cut tag out at 1.57 width and 2.50 height

8). Printed my saying on the tag. (Mothers hold their children hands for a short while,

but their hearts forever. Happy Mother's Day)

Here is a little tip for you. You can either stamp a saying on your tag or you can

type up a saying and print it out on copy paper and then attach your tag to the

copy paper (where you have printed your saying) with repositional tape and run it through your printer again. It will come out on your tag.

It is amazing what you can do with it. I keep on learning every day new things. You think you know it all and then you find something new you can do with it. Let's get started with the card. 1). For the Tags I used Gyspy Font and adjusted the size to fit my card. (Don't forget that you can alter the width and length separately). 2). For the egg I used Easter 2010 3). I used a standard 2A card (4 1/4 X 5 1/2) 4). Pattern Paper (4 X 5 1/4) 5). Tags were made from Gyspy Font 6.) Ribbon
