Holiday Decorative Plate Collection

Good morning!

Today's project is another fabulous Craft Project Central project.   This beautiful set was created by Amy Storrie.  

You will love having this beautiful plate displayed in your home year round. Each of the 8 inserts has a Velcro back so that you can easily switch out the center each month for the appropriate holiday.  Or, when you are not in a holiday month, use the generic everyday insert. This would also make a wonderful gift for a special friend or family member.

Good morning!

Happy Wednesday!   Have you started working on your Christmas cards  yet?  I'd like to say that I have but in all honesty- I only have a few made and ready to go.  Thankfully I have a few more weeks before I start to freak out about being so far behind!

The card I have to share with you today is very similar to the card that I created for the Lansing Regional last November.  I have always loved the 3-Dimensional stars and I love how they look on this card.  No, this card cannot be mailed (unless you sent it in a box) but it can be hand delivered and the recipient is sure to enjoy!

The front view of the card doesn't really show the true dimension  on this card.  This sideview picture shows it best.  As you can see- it's pretty thick!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Whisper White

DSP:  Season of Style

Stamps:  Snowflake Soiree

Photo Keeper- Craft Project Central

Good morning!
Today I have another fabulous Craft Project Central project to share with you!  This awesome project was created by Monika Davis.

Summer is over, but you don’t have to forget about your vacation just yet. Make this super cool Photo Keeper that can also function as a mini scrap book in a box. Keep your treasured photo memories in one place.  Its size makes it perfect to take it with you in your bag to hold your pictures while you travel. This is also the perfect present with the matching greeting card and small embellishments to someone who loves to travel and take pictures. Also makes for a fun Stamp Camp project.

Even though the Fall season is not one of my favorites (I LOVE the hot weather), I sure do love creating cards and other projects for this special season.  I love to see the leaves change colors and the scenery change as it does throughout the seasons.

Build a Banner Treat Pocket

Good morning!
Today I have an adorable little treat pocket to share with you!  It's created from a Build a Banner canvas piece and a piece of coordinating card stock.  Embellish as you wish and add some ribbon to create a handle!  It's as simple as that!  I originally saw the idea on the Stampin' Up! website and figured I'd try some of my own.  I think they are cute and will make the perfect little treats for my card swap group.

The picture below shows how big the pocket is when it's open.  It's large enough to hold several fun size candy bars or other fun treats!

Have a great Saturday!

Good morning!
TGIF!  It's been a long crazy week!  I've tried my best to post what I could this week but it seems like it's not been much!  For some reason every time I go out of town it takes me forever to catch up!  Thankfully I am all caught up as of today!  Emails have all been answered but if you emailed and haven't gotten a response- please resend your message.  Sometimes my email can be funky and I don't want to leave any messages unanswered!
The card I have to share with you today- features the same layout as yesterday's card.  I wanted to show that when you change just a few elements a whole different card is created!  My card today is a Halloween card.  I used my brayer to apply Versamark ink on my Tea Lace Paper Doilie.  Then I sprinkled Black Embossing Powder onto the doilie and heated it up.  The result is what you see on the card!  LOVE IT!

Happy Birthday to you!

Good morning!
Today I have a card to share with you.  I created it using the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I've actually had this embossing folder since the new catalog was released this past June. I'm not sure why I haven't used it until now but I can honestly say- I love it!  Especially when it's used with the Core'dinations card stock.  LOVE the sanded look!

I also LOVE this particular layout.  It's very versatile and can be used for many different occasions which in turn give the card a different look.  I think I'll make a Halloween card in this same layout to show you what I mean!

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stampin'!

Timeless Talk Desktop Card Set

Good morning!
Today's post is a Craft Project Central project!  This project was designed by Laurie Zoellmer.

This project makes a darling card box, and when the cards are gone you can use as a notepaper holder!  Simply cut 8-1/2” x 11” sheets of copy paper into quarters and you have notepaper for the holder!  This project makes a nice addition to any desk.  Also, a great gift idea or class idea for demonstrators.

Home Sweet Home

Good morning!
It's good to be home!  For the past several days I've been out of town.  First in Pittsburgh and then to Buffalo.  I like to enjoy a little vacation every now and again but then again I sure do miss stampin' while I'm gone!  I think for my next trip- I'll be taking some crafty stuff with me!
Today's card that I have to share is the final card from the Harvest of Thanks stamp set.  The sentiment is Gratitude.  It's a great sentiment for the fall season or anytime really!

This card is a super simple design (and I'm sure you've noticed that this card isn't the first time I've used this layout).  The layout itself is one of my favorites!

Harvest of Thanks

Good morning!
I apologize for not posting yesterday.  I was having technical difficulties!  Thankfully that's all worked out now!  Even though I was having issues yesterday- it was a great day because I received my latest Stampin' Up! order.  Usually it means that I have a ton of new goodies to play around with but this time- the majority of the products ordered weren't mine.  So thanks to everyone who ordered!  Your items will be delivered tomorrow!
Even though the majority of the items weren't mine- I did have a few new toys to play with.  The first was the Harvest of Thanks stamp set.  I wasn't really sure that I "needed" to have several Thanksgiving sets but I'm happy I ordered it.  Not only does it coordinate perfectly with several of my favorite Framelit collections but the stamps are gorgeous!  Here is the card that I made to share with you today:

Thanks for stopping by!  I have plenty more from this set to share with you!  I can't wait!  You will LOVE them all!

Teeny Tiny Halloween Treats

Good morning!
I can't believe it's Friday again already.  For now the weeks just seem to fly by!  I'm sure that once the cold weather sets in the weeks will take forever to go by.  It's funny how different things seem in the cold weather.   I know I'm enjoying every last bit of the summer-like weather that I can!  I'm not ready to say goodbye to it just yet!
A few weeks ago I saw a super cute teeny tiny container created by Deb Valder.  I knew that I had to order some of these adorable little 4oz. hot cups just to make some of my own!  The little cups come completely white.  I decorated mine for the upcoming Halloween holiday!  Inside is an individual serving package of candy corn or a package of M&M's.

Aren't they adorable?  I can't wait to create some more!  Perhaps my next ones will be birthday themed or maybe even Christmas themed!  These little treats are the perfect gift for classmates, teachers, co-workers and neighbors!


Today I also have another Craft Project Central project to share with you.  This one is a Fall Centerpiece and was created by Christy Fulk,

It's officially Autumn and time to put out the Fall decorations!  Wouldn't this Fall Centerpiece be wonderful to add to your collection?  Fall colors are so beautiful and this centerpiece is full of them!  The centerpiece would look great on any dining room table, mantle, bay window, or entry table.  This project would make a fun class, too!

Would you like to create one of these beautiful centerpieces for yourself (or to give as a gift)?  Head on over to Craft Project Central and subscribe to October today!

Instamatic Camera Tutorial

Good morning!
Today's post is a little later than normal.  Sorry about that!  I spent the majority of my day yesterday creating a tutorial on how to make one of these adorable little cameras.  This camera box will hold three to four 3" x 3" cards and envelopes (depending on how heavily embellished they are).
I hope you have as much fun making one as I did creating them!
Please CLICK HERE for the tutorial.  As always- with any of my tutorials- you are welcome to share but please give credit where credit is due.  If you have any questions on creating your camera- please don't hesitate to ask!  I'm happy to help!

The camera in my tutorial is just like this one.  The only difference is the sentiment!  Have a great Thursday!!!!

                             

More Instamatic Fun

Good morning!
Today I have a set of three 3" x 3" cards that I created to put inside the little camera that I shared yesterday. The cards aren't too fancy but they're perfect for the person I'm giving this to!
There is a "hello" card, a "thank you" card and a "happy birthday" card.

Here is what the little camera looks like when it's opened:

As you can see- the cards and envelopes fit inside perfectly!  What a super cute gift for someone special!

And the last picture is what it looks like when it's closed with the cards inside:

Instamatic FUN!!!

Good morning!
Do you remember the super fun and magical Instamatic (or Polaroid) cameras?  I must say- those cameras were a highlight of my childhood!  There was nothing more fun than taking a picture with a bunch of friends and having instant gratification!  I always loved the way the actual picture looked.  Not quite crisp and clear but perfect for a fun photo!
My project to share with you today is a camera box.  It's big enough to hold 3" x 3" cards.  Now I don't have the cards I plan on putting inside complete yet so you'll have to check back another time for those.  I was just really excited at how cute the box came out and had to share immediately!  I hope you enjoy it!
