How sweet would it be to get a treat like this? I think it would be a great way to brighten someone’s day, don’t you? The best part about it is that it uses very little paper and just one cookie, which you can make or buy. That makes it even easier. In my case,…
Today I’m happy to be a Guest Designer for Top Dog Dies! I’m using their Pumpkin & Finishers Die Set to create a fun candy bar holder. It’s perfect for a special Halloween treat! Even better? There’s no sewing involved! Sweet! UPDATE 2/24/16 : Top Dogs Dies is no longer in business but you can use similar…
This technique is super fun! You can create a wood paneled look to your projects by covering them with Washi Tape and simply adding Gesso and Gelatos. Let me show you how! Grab some Gesso, washi tape, chipboard and a foam brush. Cover the chipboard with washi tape. I decided to layer mine starting with…
I had fun making these mini album pages today. I’m excited to be able to look back over some fun things our family has done. You may recognize the waterfall photo on the right. It’s from the trip we took last weekend. Check it out here! I’m so glad I’m documenting these things. I’m using…
What?! Where did Christmas go? Well, that was fast! Time to welcome in 2012 with a PARTY…well, at least a party banner. 😉 I used this great banner file from Silhouette and just typed PARTY into the software so I could add that lettering. To make your banner simple to assemble, I say stick with…
I love the way glitter looks but I hate using it. It always ends up making me look like I just stepped out of the chorus line since I usually end up with it all over me or in my eye. Eye glitter is the worst. Maybe I need to wear goggles when I use…
In my Cricut Vinylology DVD, I show you a project with chalkboard vinyl but since then I haven’t shown any projects with it…until today! 😉 You may think you have to have an electronic die cut machine to cut vinyl but that’s not always true. You can cut vinyl with scissors, some strong paper punches…
The Big Shot (in front) is sitting on top of the Big Shot Pro’s two foot tray. Ok, here’s the long and short (so to speak) of these two machines. These are both machines that I own and that’s a photo that I took of them next to each other. I’m showing you this so…
Don’t miss the bottom of this post to see the finished product! I love the way this turned out! I created a REMOVABLE cover for a plain sketch book for my nieces 18th b’day. She is an artist who also likes to sew. She got a dress form for her birthday, so I was happy…
What’s better than a hot drink on a cold day? CHOCOLATE! These decorated cans of hot chocolate are simple to make and great to have on hand as “Thank You” gifts for those special people who have been invaluable throughout the year. I’m also going to use one in a theme gift I’m making. Let’s…
Oh Christmas Tree Box, Oh Christmas Tree Box … how giant is your homemade Sizzix bow? This little tree box is so cute…even with it’s ginormous bow. 😀 You’ll find this tree box in the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut cartridge. I’m going to use it in my Cricut Imagine, so that’s what the…
The only thing missing in this photo are some packages of craft supplies at the doorstep. 😉 Today I used my Gypsy and the Cricut Christmas cartridge to create a welded door card. I really like the way it turned out. I cut it large enough to hold a gift card inside. Let me show…
