Birthday Pop Up Box and Gift Card Purse

A dear friend of our Family's turned 15.  We went to dinner at their house to celebrate and I made one of her favorites Ice Cream Sandwich Cake to take.  Along with a cute Pop Up card in her favorite colors.
And this little Purse Gift Card Holder. These were fun and they turned out super cute!  Don't you think?

Both items were from the Silhouette Design Store.

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look!  Have a Wonderful Week!

Busy as a Bee

Good Morning and Happy Monday!  Today I am over on the Memory Box Blog with another fun Springy card.  Still wishing even though everywhere seems to be colder and getting more snow than ever.   I love the new Open Studio dies and today I'm using Busy As A Bee 30031.  It has the fun honeycomb border die, the Bee and the Bee trail.   The Bee wings are were created using vellum for a more ethereal feel.

 Also used on this card the Bamboo Shoots 98793 for a bit of greenery.

February - CARS Swap - White on White

 It's time for my February Swap Card for C.A.R.S.  I've outlined what it's all about here in this post.  I'm still working on my Christmas/Holiday Cards getting a head start.  Which is for some reason really exciting to me.
For this card I used some my new Memory Box square shaker frame(love these), the trees are from a Poppy Die.  The background is embossed with an embossing folder and the greeting is from a Stampin Up set stamped in grey instead of black.  I added some old(used it all the time back in the day) mulberry paper.  I've also added some pearls, stickles and white seem binding.  I do love how it turned out.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out me card.

Brrrr She's a Cold Pup!

 
She wears her little Chevron Sweater to take Abbi to school in the morning and pick her up in the afternoon.  Soooo CUTE!

Florina Bees

 Good Morning, today I have a Happy Springy card over on the Memory Box Blog.  Wishful thinking on my part, I know, but I'm hoping the snow will melt soon and green will begin to pop out.  I started with the Florina Corner 99081 out of green and added the Itty Bitty Bumblebees 99028.  For an accent I have added a bit of Stickles to some flowers and also to the bumblebee wings.

Half A Heart


Happy Monday! I'm over on the Memory Box Blog today.  We enjoyed a day indoors here in Chicagoland yesterday while a little blizzard dumped some snow on us!  The residual affect is that the kids don't have school today.  Good for them they get a long weekend and a yard full of snow drifts and mounds to play in. 

Yesterday was however the perfect day to get some playing with my crafty supplies done.  So I grabbed the Half a Heart 99130 and went to town creating some Fabulous Fold Die Cut cards.  I'm so excited Memory Box came out with a die that is only half a shape for this technique.  I usually stick my nose in my die cut machine and cross my eyes to try to figure out where to stop die cutting.  This is amazingly simple.

First cut your cardstock  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", then score it at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  I still like to crease all of the folds lines, especially on white so I can see exactly where the score is.  Next open the card up flat and place it on your cutting mat then set the Half a Heart die to the right of the 2 1/8" score line, make sure your touching the line.  Now just cut.  That's really it.  AMAZING right no lining it up or taping it. 


I decorated the hearts with the Cross Stitched Hearts 99125 cut out of read and black cardstock.  The small hearts got foam taped to the larger ones and then glittered with Stickles.  The smallest hearts decorated the inside of the card.  I did add the XOXO from the Urban Lowercase Alphabet 98874 to the front to complete the card.

Some Paper Play Last Night

 
Dianne and I got together and worked on our C.A.R.S. cards with the Bargello.  Here is the start of mine.  All of my cards will be Christmas this year so I'm doing red and green Bargello.
