Easter Treat

I enjoy making treats for family and friends of all ages, so for Easter this year I pulled out my Envelope Punch Board and created this cute little gum holder.

These gum holders were quick and easy to make and I can put everyone’s favorite gum inside. How easy is that!

Jolly Friends & more

Today’s projects are some that were given to me at our Team Christmas Party. I love the way Cindy and Deborah used the Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack (141991). The rich plaid patterns in this stack are perfect for guy cards and they evoke a warm cozy feeling for winter. Reminders of childhood for me I suppose and those cold Wisconsin winters LOL! I digress so without further ado – here are the projects.

This first one Deborah made using the Jolly Friends stamp set (142112) and Jolly Hat Builder Punch (141847) that are part of the Year End Sale! and Holiday Catalog Retirement List.

jolly-friends-team-swap-dec-2016-3

The little bag that she made out of our Kraft Cardstock (133674) is heavy weight and durable – so you can stuff it full of chocolate! (Or what ever little goodie you’d like.) Deborah found the most adorable Hershey’s Kisses that looked like Santa’s Hat at Target! I had to stop and get me some of those – just right for my husband Larry. LOL!

And this little mini Hershey’s bar is a perfect little something to spread a little holiday cheer.

pretty-pines-swap-dec-2016

Cindy wrapped the chocolate and added some boughs from the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies (141851) added a touch of the 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon (141487) and tie it up with a 5/8″ Organza Ribbon (114319) bow !

And finally this beautiful watercolor card that Cindy shared with us uses the Sunshine Sayings Bundle (142338/142339) found in the Annual Catalog on page 97.

sunshine-wishes-watercolor-team-swap-dec-2016-3

I love the simplicity of the card – How could it not bring a smile to your face?

Cookie Cutter “Bling”

Today’s little project brings me back to my childhood and the magic of crafting.

Remember that first experience with Shrinky Dink? The magic of watching through the oven door and seeing them curl up, worried that they would touch? And then the delight when they uncurled again? What fun my big sister and I had with our first package of plastic sheets.

The Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set is perfect for this project! Fast, fun and trendy earrings for the holidays! What could be better? And they are a delight to make too since they bring out the child in all of us! Simply follow the directions on the package – and voila! It’s magic!

I’ve simply place a little 3″ x 3″ topper on my earrings to make them a little extra special.

Christmas Trinkets

Last week I shared with you that I was doing a Bazaar at the Good Shepherd Church in Gainesville so I thought I’d share some of the items I made for it over the next couple of days.

good-shepherd-lutheran-church-mission-bazaar

When I saw these little embellishments (in the Holiday Catalog on page 27) I knew just what I was going to do with them!

They are adorable and with 24 antiqued silver embellishments in each container they are a deal!

So I got to work to make these cute little gifts for the holidays. A set of earrings for family and friends.
