Halloween Treats

These are the Halloween treats that my kiddos will pass out to their classmates this year. We decided on candy for the teachers and pencils for the kids. These were so easy that even my 6 year old was able to do most of the work! :) Happy Halloween!

Christmas Lane (Half Kit for all 12 Cards!)

Yes, all 12 cards were made with less than half of the Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin' Kit! So, a whole kit gets you 24 cards...get deal! I just added a couple embellishments to a few of the cards, like ribbon and the Mini Jingle Bells from the Holiday Mini Catlog. Thanks for looking!

Easter Milk Carton

Here's a fun mini milk carton that my girls made during Sale-a-bration. I love the bring colors of the paper and ribbon. :)

Easter Fancy Favor

I made this cute box with the Fancy Favor die. When I precut the paper, then punched out the die, it left a decorative edge along the paper, so I used that for the handle.

Hello There Medallion

Paper medallions are so fun! I got the directions from an old Sale-a-bration catalog. It's just a lot of folding. :)

Easter Tote

This is such a fun and simple project! You can put two the the Scallop Envelope dies (for the Big Shot) together to make this simple tote. I lined the top with Melon Mambo pompoms from the mini catalog, which match the card stock. The tiny rosette is also from the mini catalog, and they come in white only. So, I just took a marker and colored onto the rosette to coordinate with my Designer Series Paper and ribbon, which are Daffodil Delight.

You've got a friend in me!

Here's a fun card that I made a while back with the Cheep Talk stamp set. That saying always reminds me of Toy Story! :)

Top Note Christmas

This is a great card to use those scraps of Designer Series Paper on-I used the Christmas Cheer Simply Scrappin' Kit paper for this card. Simply punch out squares, line them up on card stock for a quilt look, then run through the Big Shot with the Top Note die. I love the new Glimmer Brads too!

Party Hearty & Builder Wheels

Here's another fun card, using the Builder Wheels-I left a space in the middle and the 5/8" grosgrain ribbon is just the right size to fill in the space! I used Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip for the ink. The Melon Mambo card stock was embossed with the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder. The party hat (Party Hearty set) has a little rhinestone to add some bling. :)

Ribbon Rose Card

I love this card! It was CASE'd by LeAnn Greff. I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the ribbon rose for that extra bit of fun.

Big Shot HAIR!

One of my favorite stampin' pals, Stephanie, came over to make hair bows with me. It was my first time, so I still need a lot more practice! Here are the bows I came up with. :) I used brads and other embellishments that I had already and cut out various shapes from the Big Shot and did a tiny bit of stitching, then attached a hair pin to the back side of each bow. These could also be worn on a blouse with a pin. I plan to keep practicing.

Tote

This was such a fun little tote to make. I got the directions from Leigh O'Brien's tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers here. I used a retired DSP, but you can use whatever paper you like, and change up the design for every occasion.

Tree Trimmings Card

The stamp set used for this card is called Tree Trimmings (Pg. 44 of the catalog) and is a beautiful stamp set. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set (Pg. 157). The Basic Rhinestones add a little Christmas magic to the card. :) This is a very simple and clean cut card. Hope you enjoy it!

Card stock: Not Quite Navy, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive

Christmas Wine Bottle Topper

Who wouldn't love to get a dolled up wine bottle like this?! I CASE'd this adorable idea from Linda Joyce Steele; you can see her blog here. This would also make a cute door hanger, or Olive Oil topper. I used a square punch and the Word Window punch to make the snowman's hat. The antique brads give the scarf that perfect touch. My snowman reminds me of Tim Burton's characters! :)

Halloween Treat Holder

I wanted to create a cute Halloween treat box, so I searched online and found a great video tutorial here by the talented Dawn Griffith. It's so easy and cute! I used Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie for the card stock. I can't wait for Halloween!

Sweet Snowglobe

This card was a lot of fun to make with my girls. We used the new Sweet Snowglobe stamp from the Holiday Mini Catalog, which coordinates with the treat cups. The Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink are perfect for Christmas. There is glitter inside the treat cup, so it feels like a real snowglobe. Christmas really is sneaking up quickly; start your planning!

Make Merry Milk Carton

I love this new Mini Milk Carton die from Stampin' Up! It only uses half a sheet of 8.5" x 11" and is a snap to assemble. I stamped on the Bashful Blue card stock, then added the tag to the mini clip with twine. To the tag, I added a rhinestone to give it a Christmas feel.

Time for School!

My kids started school this morning. My big boy is in 2nd grade and my daughter is in Kindergarten (full day). It's been a rough morning, but I know they'll have a wonderful year. They really do grow up too quickly!

Homework Box

My baby girl, Gaby, is starting Kindergarten this week! I made her a homework box, using scraps that I had. I love having all of her supplies together so we don't have to waste time searching for materials when it's time to do homework. She's thrilled to start school and is very ready for Kinder. I have made these boxes for all of my nieces and nephews when they started school as well. :)
