"Clearly" Fabulous...Window sheets are SO much fun to play with. They are great for cards, scrapbook pages, and ESPECIALLY 3D items. I just have a very quick project to share with you today. I made a box using the Fancy Favor Big Shot die (but you could make any kind of box with these) and the medium Window Sheets. So easy to make a fun Christmas favor! (I took pictures with a red background so you could see the box better.) Here is the box...
 And a close up of the tree on the front...
I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the bottom of the tree and then also added a Rhinestone brad at top for some sparkle. Also...if you look in the bottom corner you can see the "be merry" sentiment. I just stamped this with White Staz-On ink. Stamps great on the window sheets!!!  And then a top view so you can see the fancy border around the top and the fun treats inside! You could add any treat to this box and anyone would LOVE to get it! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!  Night and Day Album...I have a SUPER fun project to share with you today! It is using the Night and Day Designer Series Paper that is in the holiday mini and it's FABULOUS! I have been trying to think of something to do with this paper to really show it off. And I'm loving this project. Here is a pic...
 I used the Fundamental Phrases stamp set to stamp a word on each tab. And then just used the Round Tab punch to make the tabs. With the black and white pages, I wanted one color to make things pop. I finally decided on Melon Mambo and it's perfect! Although if you were doing this for a boy, Bermuda Bay would be super great too. Here is a pic of the top view...
 So all the pages flip and reveal the next page. I will put some photos in this and then take some more pictures of it too. Now all you do to make this is cut 4 strips of paper to 4 1/2" x 12". Then score one of the sheets at 2", one at 3", one at 4", and one at 5". Then just put them together in order. Secure the middle (I just stapled it) and you have your album. Embellish however you want! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!  Notebook Fun...I love making little notebooks. I think they are so much fun. I saw one in the Stampin' Success magazine we get as demo's and so I wanted to make one. Here was my version of it...
 Can you see that swirly pattern in the back? This is just a fun little notebook to pop in your purse or wherever. Here it is from the top...
 Just add whatever kind of paper you want. I used just regular printer paper but you can use cardstock or lined paper or whatever. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting! November Club Day...Today was club day! I have so much fun on club days. They are a blast. I just wanted to share the projects that we made today. We made this Thanksgiving/Grateful card...
 The background is wheeled with the coordinating jumbo wheel. I forget how GREAT the wheels are. They are a lot of fun to use! The next project we did was this Post-It note holder. There is even space to hold a pen!  Can I even tell you HOW MUCH I love this penguin! :) He is SO CUTE! He is from the Cold & Cuddly stamp set that is in the mini catalog. Here is a close-up so you can see the Post-Its...
 The iceberg I even sprayed with the Shimmer Spray I made with the Frost White Shimmer Paint. You can't really tell in the photo but it's super fun in real life. And then when you open it up...here is your Post-It pad to write on...

I actually made these at our Convention in August. I thought they were so cute. This first one is a "Gate card" and the Designer Series Paper piece and ribbon tied around the card is actually a belly band. Here is the card...
 This next card is actually using the same ribbon and stamp sets as the last card. The great thing about this ribbon is it has polka dots on one side, and just the plain stitching on the other. So depending on your project and what look you want, you can use the dots or not. Just FYI. :) On to this other card...
 I REALLY love this one!!! Although there is some cutting...it is such a QUICK card. And it's on Kraft...my fave. :) And of course there is a matching envelope. :) Here is a close up of the ornaments...  Notice that clear Rhinestone Brad? I love the detail that adds. I hope you enjoy these cards! Thanks for visiting!  More Recent Articles |
This album is SO EASY to make! It has all those different tabs that you flip to see all the pages. I should have taken a pic of each page. But here are the first few tabs close up...
