Today my in-laws are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! Woo hoo! Congratulations to them! Here’s a quick and simple 50th Anniversary card idea that I made for them using the Silhouette Cameo and the Cut ‘n’ Boss. It’s pretty amazing how much you can change a card by simply changing the paper. For example, this…
Today I’m shouting, “FINALLY!” because it’s been almost a year since I made this lamp and the lampshade has stayed plain and boring this whole time. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do with it until today. I just love this “Maps of the World” paper by Hazel & Ruby so much that I wanted…
Today I’m using “Maps of the World” lightweight paper by Hazel & Ruby to help me create this useful (and road trip travel inducing) map box. I LOVE this map paper. I chose to focus on the South as much as possible (with some Northern spots on top) because I’m a Southern girl. I’ve lived…
There’s something so warm and cozy about making projects with felt around the holidays. This whole project could have just as easily been made with paper but the felt? It just makes whatever’s given in those little pouches seem like even more of a treat to me. Want easy? This is a no sew project!…
Don’t forget to enter the eBrush Giveaway at the end of this post! Have you seen Craftwell’s eBrush before? It helps you get airbrush effects from your markers. So cool! I used it to turn a plain office supply store manila tag into the customized tag you see below. This tag is what I created…
I have two corner Christmas trees in my front foyer and they are totally naked except for lights. I’ve been putting them up that way for about 10 years. I like to think of them in fancy terms as a “lighted tree entrance to the decorated tree” but truth be told, they’re just naked. My…
This felt leaf grapevine wreath project is so easy and so fun. You just need cheap felt from your local craft store, a leaf die (I’m using Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves), a grapevine wreath, a hot glue gun and a die cutting machine. I’m using the Cut ‘n’ Boss. I love the Cut ‘n’ Boss…
It’s so creatively rewarding to give a makeover to an item so that it can reflect your style or to alter something for a gift. I love to do that! This started as a plain brown notebook. Yawn. It would get lost in a sea of other plain brown notebooks, if not for using a…
Hi friends! Remember when I showed you how to cut felt with the Cut ‘n Boss? Well, today I want to use the same “happy frame” die from the Teresa Collins Lifestyle Die Collection to show you that the Cut ‘n Boss can also do a great job cutting craft foam. It’s how I made this shaker…
I love this picture I took of my sons back when they were shorter than I am. It looks like Iron Man should probably have slept with one eye opened. LOL! It was super fun making a frame for this Halloween photo card using a bit of craft felt and the Craftwell Cut n’ Boss. I…
