Holiday Wishes with Gingerbread Kisses

The Holidays are coming and baking season

for me will be in full swing.

Thinking of baking and all the yummies, today I would

like to share with you the new Gingerbread Papers Mega Kit.

Complete with over 30 adorable papers to create with this season.

I am using a Sherri Baldy My Besties image with these papers.

I carried some more papers to the inside to finish it off.

SURPRISE!!!  It is a panel pop out for more fun.

I colored img815 for the front and scanned it to make smaller 

printable for the inside.

I found this card on pinterest with many different tutorials but

used this one for my finished card

Obsessedwithscrappin has a nice video and Cricut design space file

also with this video.

All My Ghoulfriends: 3 Tiered Card with tutorial

Hello Everyone!

Today goes out to all my Ghoulfriends!!!!

This time of year we have ghouls, gourds, pumpkins

and cute little witches everywhere.

Halloween to me is all about the fun of colors and

the creativity you can come up with.

I have a triple tier card for you that has a

Sherri Baldy My Besties digi as my cute little

pumpkin sitter.

The image is img734

As you pull the top tab, the layers reveal all inside

for a fun little surprise.

This was made for a friend in mind, so the sentiment had to

be something she would enjoy and have a good laugh at.

So how did I make this little gem.

Let's start with the supplies.

You will need cardstock in the color of your choice for the base.

Cut your cardstock into

1-6"x 12"

1-5"x 11 1/4"

1- 3 1/2" x 4  1/2"

save your scraps as we will be using a piece of it as well.

Score the  6" x 12" with the 12" side at the top at 4" and 8"

Score the 5" x 11 1/4" with the 11 1/4" side at the top at 3 3/4 and 7 1/2"

On the pieces that are scored, you need to add some slits to the

right scored panel on both pieces.

Cut slits 1" in from the score line and another 1" from the outside edge.

I cut my slits 1/2"in from top and bottom.

These slits let your cards slide up and down inside the card.

You need to start with your  3 1/2" x 4  1/2" piece and

your 5"x 11 1/4"

Remember the little scraps I mentioned.  This is where we 

make a strip to weave into the slit.

Follow the picture.

Add tape or glue to each side of the strip.  This is where you will attach 

the next piece.

Take your 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece and lay it on top so the top edges

are flush.

We are going to fold the right side in first and then the left over the top.

Add glue or tape down the edges.  My folder and scissors are placed

to show you the edges I did.

Your first tier is finished

Do the same thing to your next piece with adding your strip and placing

the first complete tier onto it.

Make sure your top edges are even.  You may need to adjust things

just a bit.

Fold like you did for the first tier and glue or tape your edges and you 

have completed the tiers

Decorate and add a tag at the top.  You may

 want to add your 

papers first before putting all together.

Cherish Every Moment Criss Cross

Hello everyone!  Today I have for you a sweet image from the past.

This is Ragamuffin Justina and Frankie

I have done a criss cross design to tuck this cutie into and

also added a additional feature of another pull out for

a message to be added to.

I added the extra pull out behind her.

My cardbase measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 without any embellishments

or die cuts.

I have used the Homespun Colorbok paper pad 

for my designer papers for this.

For the sentiment I used Crafters Companion Die'sire metal die

and mounted it on a Spellbinders die from

Devine Eleoquence die set.

For the scroll at the top, I double cut the

Anna Griffin Flourish Scroll and attached to the base before

adding the inside decorative paper.

For the pull out I added a punched edge with a Martha Stewart

edge punch .

I added some flowers to make a small bouquet.  I used

small sweetheart flowers from Wild Orchards

and one Sherri Baldy

Bloomin Bestie in Pink Daisy to make a focal point in the bouquet.

I love these flowers.

I have colored Justina and Frankie with copics

Hat and shoes and Frankie:  E40, 41 and 43

Skin:  E50,51,53,33

Hair: Y00, 02, 18 and 21

Dress: RV00, 02, 10, 13 and 17

Welcome to the town of Troll-ville.

Hey everyone!  Trolls have been running around and getting

into all sorts of mischief.  These little cuties are just waiting

to come and join you in all your crafting ideas.

Today I would like to share with you a mini album

that has been created around these little sweeties

by using the Troll Mega Kit that is available

HERE

I have used elements from the Kit to make all the embellies

throughout.   I have used the mushroom and frames along with papers

to decorate the front.

                         

I took the mushroom and made some shrinkydink charms to adorn

the closure for this album

I also colored another troll image and made a charm with her as well.

The image I used is scan0042

On the inside I have used various papers and other elements

to create pockets and tag holders

For this one, I used a flower to hold a tag I made from another

paper included in the Kit.

I used a flower element and bracket elements to hold small tags or

photo mats.

Here I cut one of the tags in half to create a pocket to hold

a mushroom I am using as a tag.

Here are some other pages and just how I decorated them.

                                            

Here is a small preview of what all is in the Kit.

Come and check out all the wonderful creations that are

being made with all of the Trolls over on

I know not all celebrate this strange day, but

the colors are facinating and brings lots of 

life and creativity.

Today I am using a Sherri Baldy My Besties image,

Img757
