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

Sherri Baldy My Besties.  This is img930.

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.

Flowers: RV04, 10

Clothes: RV00, R81, 85

Eyes: E50, 53, E000

Leaves: YG11, YG03

I took warm grey W0 and W1 and shaded all around her.

I started with a 6 x 6 base and layered with black and pink Recollections cardstock.

I used a Martha Stewart corner punch for the pink and also embossed just the top above the 

lace with We R Memory Keepers Next Level Gemstone embossing folder.

I used a Spellbinders Celebrations pierced square die to cut out my image and mounted on

black cardstock and raised with fun foam.  I added a Darice Symetrical Swirl die cut

to the top of my image and added Wild Orchard Crafts mini sweetheart blossoms.

I used another Martha Stewart punch for my sentiment to add a decorative edge.

I finished off the outside with pink gemstones in each corner.

For my inside sentiment, I have used  Stampabilities 811661

I hope you have enjoyed todays creation.

I want to share with you my DT project for
My Besties International Challenge Blog.
The month of December is in full swing and we are receiving

 some wonderful projects for this month.
You have til December 27th to enter.

My daughter and I were playing around with paper to make some ornaments

and in my search for something fun and easy for her and I to do together

I came across the Geo ornament.

Made out of 20 circles that forms this geo ball.

I have a cutting machine, Circut Explore, and am including my

template for you to use.  I made this one at 1 1/2 ", however, you

can resize to what size you would like to make.  Remember, you 20 to

complete the sphere.

https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/34186683 

I also have made a video to show you how to put it all together with a cutting machine and

 without a cutting machine ,a simple circle punch will work for you to complete this project.

For my papers, I used cardstock from a Christmas  Paper Studio pad

Remnants of the Season.

The digi I used is from the White Christmas Crafting CD from

Sherri Baldy My Besties

Not only can you find this Colored Sheet, there are many others that you could use 

as well along with digi stamps and fun other elements.

Fun with Tags

Hey everyone!

It is time for our SVG Saturday at My Besties Designs Color & Create.

Today I have a a cute tag from Sherri Baldy My Besties SVGs.

For this project I have used the 7 layered scallop SVG to make the trees.

Just a simple fun way to play with Sherri Baldy My Besties SVGs.

The tag is from the Little Sweeties CD and is SVG cut #23

I just used the shape for this and punched a hole at the top.

There are several SVGs that you could choose from to make

tags or just about anything you can image.

Poinsettia Macy by Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Hey everyone!

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

for you from Digital Delights by Louby Loo

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
