Believe in Miracles

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone!!
It is the time of year to believe in miracles.

Today I am working with a New Release image from


What I have for you today is a cute little pop up book book card.
I found the tutorial HERE.
Beccy's Place has tons of card folding instructions for you
and makes a great resource.


The inside sentiment is a stamp by Stampabilities.



Here is the template from Beccy's Place so you can see how to cut the inside.
I alter mine to make the panel smaller.



Thank you for having a peek and can't wait to see you all
in the 2016 YEAR.


Happy Crafting

Hot Cocoa with Flair

Hello everyone!  Ever need one of those last minute small gifts with something
already in the house as you don't have time to run out and get something?
Well, I had one of those moments as my Mail Lady is leaving on vacation after
her shift today til after Christmas.  Yes, I live in a small enough town that
she spends a few minutes talking to you if you happen to be seen by her.
Love it!!
I made a hot cocoa sleeve and gave it my flair for a one of a kind gift.

 

I just measured how wide and doubled that and added 1" for a 1/2" side, cut it 
and then scored in 1/2" on both sides.  Then I measured the height of the packets 
and added 1/2" and cut.  I glued the 1/2' sides on top of each other and made
a tube to slide the packet into.
I took some paper and cut to fit the front and stamped FOR YOU
and attached to the tube.  Took some ribbon and glued to half of the front
added my digi image over that.  Just wrap your ribbon around and tie a bow.
I just happened to have a spoon mold, bought at Michaels, and peppermint candies.
Put the candies in my blender and chopped them up, put in the mold in my oven at 
300* for about 20 minutes and now I have some sweet stir sticks for
the hot cocoa.  Dipped them in chocolate and attached to the sleeve.

Now I have 7 more peppermint spoons to make some more little
gifts to give out.  I guess I better get busy.

They image I used is Sherri Baldy My Besties img932
You can find this one and many more adorable digis at

Hope you have liked today project.

Poinsettia Macy by Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Hey everyone!
Sorry that I am running behind, but I have a sweet little digi

This is Poinsettia Macy.



You can find her HERE


I created a tag base and just began adding elements as I wasn't sure what
direction I really wanted to go in.  But my lack of knowing has turned
into a little piece that I am proud of.
Sometimes we all get a creativity block and this was one of those times.

The tree, snowflake and flourish came from Cricut Design Space Library.
My lace rosette was just a left over piece of lace I wrapped around to form
a rosette and added a poinsettia the center to go with my girl.

I have used a mixture of copics and Prismacolor colored pencils
to color her.

You can get her in black and white or a colored image.

I hope you have enjoyed todays project!

Happy Crafting

Pink Christmas Sparkle Friendship Pocket Letter

Hey everyone!  I am excited to share with you today a 
NEW pocket letter from Sherri Baldy My Besties.

I am also excited as this is my first attempt at PL's.
I find them intriguing and oh so fun.



I still have alot to learn with creating this little works of art, but am rather happy
with the way this one has been born.



For this row, I added Joy Craft Heart Border and cut it to just have two of the hearts.
I gave my pink tree some bling of it own with pink rhinestones and add
some Frantage embossing enamel in shabby white.
My cute little girl I made into a tag and cut her face out with a 1" punch and topped onto another matching paper.


For the second row I added a Darice die to my deer paper and also cut the snowflake out
with a 1" punch.
I used bubble gum pink ink to ink the edges on my center girl and also raised her with a 1.5" punch.
I added a snowflake onto the center of my paper in the first pocket.


For the bottom row, I wanted to show off some of the pocket papers.
The first pocket you have the cute paper in this pocket letter kit.
The middle pocket has a very wonderful designed paper that I stamped with the ornaments at top
and merry & bright  towards the bottom.  I just added glitter after stamping and love the shimmer.
The last pocket I added a lace rosette and topped with some die cut leaves from
Spellbinders foliage dies and then added a white rose.

I hope you have enjoyed this project.


Check out all the pocket letters available by Sherri Baldy My Besties HERE
