Barn Door Card

12 / 29 / 17

I love the week between Christmas and New Year’s.  Our schedule slows down a bit and there is extra time for crafting!  Yay!

I’m participating for the first time in the Paper Craft Crew PCC273 Inspirational Challenge.  I love the inspiration photo!

I used a new stamp set called Barn Door that will be in the New Occasions Catalog coming out Jan. 3rd.  I love this stamp set so much because it’s a slider card and makes it interactive.  🙂  I knew I wanted the red on my card to be the barn door.

The stamp set comes with a precious little wreath and the flowers can be cut out separately using a coordinating die.  I also added some little twig pieces using Pretty Pines thinlets.  I used Stampin’ Blends to color in the barn door and I love how it turned out. And did you know you can use the Stampin’ Blends to color rhinestones? It works perfectly!

Here are the supplies I used:

K-Cup Merry Cafe Treat Holder

12 / 20 / 17

Christmas is almost here!  I’m so excited!  It’s one of my favorite holidays and I love to give little gifts!  I think this one of super cute, maybe to give to a co-worker, teacher, or leave in the mailbox for your mail person.  It’s super easy to put together too!

Here is your free tutorial:

  1.  Cut a piece of Garden Green card stock to 2″ x 11″.
  2. Score at 4 1/2″ and 6 1/2″.
  3. Use Scallop Topper punch on both ends.
  4. Cut a 3 15/16″ square out of Garden Green card stock and score at 1″ all the way around.
  5. Then trim tabs as shown below.  This will make the box close easier.
  6. Score square piece on score lines and use Tombow Liquid Glue to close.  You can also use tear and tape to close.  Snail will not be strong enough to hold it closed.
  7. Then glue it to the base using liquid glue.
  8. I created the little coffee cup using the Merry Cafe Stamp set and Coffee Cups Framelits.  The Paper is Be Merry Designer Series Paper.
  9. I used VersaMark ink and stamped small snowflakes on the front of the treat holder.  The stamp is part of the Merry Cafe Stamp set.
  10. Close the top with a binder clip and add a ribbon. I added the silver snowflake using the dies from Colorful Seasons Bundle.

Here are the supplies for this treat holder:

Mini Cup Treat Holder

12 / 18 / 17

I originally posted this little cup last Christmas but it’s so cute, I had to repeat it!  🙂

I love things in small packages and this mini cup made me smile when I saw it. I wish I had created this cute little cup, but I didn’t. I saw two tutorials on pinterest. So credit for this project goes to a UK demonstrator, Heidi Smith at flutterbyheidi and Mel Pagano at My Paper Oasis.

So you can check out their tutorials and mine to get all the scoop!

IMG_6067

You will need a piece of Designer Series Paper (I used my fav, Candy Cane Lane) that is 5 3/4″ x 3 1/4″. And score the long side at 7/8″, 1 3/4″, 2 5/8″, 3 1/2″, 4 3/8″, and 5 1/4″. Score the short side at 1″ and 2 1/4″.
IMG_6068

Then trim the tab as shown and cut up to the score line on what will be the bottom of the cup.
IMG_6069

Next, fold over the top rim of the cup and here with snail.
IMG_6071

Now start folding the cup closed.
IMG_6072

Put a glue dot on the tab and insert into the other side of the cup.
IMG_6073
Turn the cup over and flare out the flaps. Put a glue dot on every other tab.
IMG_6075
Then glue opposite ends together as shown until the bottom of the cup is completed.
IMG_6076IMG_6077IMG_6078

To add stability to the cup, cut out scalloped circle (1 3/4″) and adhere one to the inside of the cup and one on the bottom.
IMG_6080

For the handle, cut a strip of paper that is 1/2″ x 3″. Use your fingers to curl it slightly.
IMG_6082
Adhere with glue dots.
IMG_6083
And it’s done!

I’m filling mine with hershey kisses! Merry Christmas!

Candle Stamping for Christmas

12 / 15 / 1712 / 18 / 17

Christmas season is here and I love it!  Something about Christmas makes me want to get crafty.  I saw a youtube video on how to make these candles and went to the dollar store to get some and try it.  Turns out you don’t have to actually stamp directly on the candle but on tissue paper instead.  After posting a picture of my completed candles everyone wanted me to make a video showing how.  So here’s the video and let me know if you make some of these beautiful candles!

Here are the stamp sets I used:

Teacher Gifts

12 / 4 / 1712 / 18 / 17

It’s December and even though it doesn’t feel like December here, I’ve been working on Christmas Teacher Gifts. It is suppose to be 80 degrees here today! Too hot but these cute little ornaments makes me think of snow.

My high schooler has finals this week before winter break so I worked hard this weekend to get teacher gifts ready for her to handout today.  They turned out super cute!

I found the idea on pinterest and CASED it (copy and share everything).  I used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper and the Hearts Come Home Bundle from the Holiday catalog.  I hope her teachers like them.  🙂

Here is a list of supplies I used:
