Tag it Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!!!

It's "Tag it Tuesday" and I made a Easter tag.

I wanted to fit on my Project Life layout, so I used the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die for the base of the tag. I also sprayed the tag with Primrose Color Shine, so it's really shimmery.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Friday!!!

So this is my last Valentine's Day card until next year. Boo.

I needed to make a quick card for a friend and I think this is going to be my new "go to" quick/easy & give a piece of chocolate card! I attached the chocolate with a piece of foam tape.

Thrifty Thursday

Happy Thursday!!!

Today is "Thrifty Thursday" over on the My Creative Time blog. I needed to make a quick card for a friend so I thought I would play along. 

Everything on the card came from my "extra's" boxes. I have a box full of die cuts, that I cut but never used. I found the pocket and heart shapes, and then while looking through my scrap paper box, I got lucky and found the cloud background and the matching yellow to the pocket. After that, the card came together fairly quickly. I even used Tuesday's "double stamp" technique again too! 

I stamped the inside of the card with the sentiment "A pocket full of love, just for you!" from the  Fun Pockets Stamp Set.

Whatever Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Today is "Whatever Wednesday" day on the My Creative Time blog. Last Friday, I created this gift box, from a ready made box that I purchased from the Timeless Twine store. I thought I would make another one with a birthday theme. 

I used one of the Square Stitched Goody Dies this time, to make the window in the front of the box. I also left the box it's original kraft, filled it with Kisses, and added some sequins to the outside... kind of reminds me of confetti. The Teeny Tag Layering Dies
are the perfectly size for this box.

Try me Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Today is "Try me Tuesday" over on the My Creative Time blog. The "try me" for today is to use a "double" stamping technique. Basically, you stamp over an already stamped background. Here is a video explaining it in more depth if you are interested.  

Believe it or not, I am not a "stamper", I like sentiments and peachy faces, but I have never been a huge fan of "stamping" and coloring in... blah blah blah. Don't get me wrong, I like when other people do it, admire that other people do it and are amazing at it, but it's just not my thing. It did however, feel good to stretch my comfort zone a bit... even though my card is really simple, I like how it turned out. I think I may even use this technique again.

Made in Minutes

Happy Monday!!!

Today is "Make it in Minutes" day on the My Creative Time blog. Which means that we have to make our project in minutes. I've had the idea of this card rolling around in my head for a couple weeks. 

It came together pretty quickly. I added the red sequins at the last minute to pull your eye down and to add a bit of balance to the red ribbon. A quick tip... if you want to recreate the embossing/cut out effect, cut the die/heart out first and then emboss the paper. If you do it the other way around, you will smash the embossing as you cut out the die.

Bear Hugs are Best!

Happy Friday!!!

Today is my dt day on the Timeless Twine blog!  
I have a fun Valentine's themed treat box to share with you today.

The Timeless Twine Store has these sweet little kraft boxes for sale. I took one and misted it with some Color shine to add some color. It's really sparkley and glittery... you just can't see it very well in the photo. Then I took the medium heart die from My Creative Time's Stitched Sweethearts & XOXO Dies and cut a heart window in the front panel of the box. I love these new dies! Love that they have stitching on the positive and negative edges, so that you can make windows with them and still get stitching around the edge of the cut. Once I had my window cut, I placed a small piece of clear acetate on the inside to serve as a window so that the bears wouldn't fall out. Lastly, I put my box together, filled it with teddy grahams, and decorated the top with some twine, a twine pompom, and a tag.

I used Timeless Twine's, Aqua Blue twine. You can find it, a ton of other colors, and lots of fun packaging in the Bella Creationz store.

 I hope you have a wonderful day!

Whatever Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Today is "Whatever Wednesday" over on the My Creative Time blog. 

I thought I would do something different today. I found this idea on Pinterest and I thought it would work perfectly with the teeny tiny heart dies in the  4x4 Journal Die + More set. So... I had some fun and did my nails for Valentine's Day!

So cute right!?!?

It was super easy, first I painted my nail with two coats of white polish (see below for info on brand). Then I took a piece of Post-It Removable Tape, you could use painters 
tape too, if you don't have the Post-it tape, and the medium sized heart die from the 4x4 Journal Die + More die set and made a template. You will need to make one for each finger that you want to put a heart on. Each template can only be used once. Then place the Post-it note template on your nail, make sure you get it smooth around the edges. Paint with the red polish, wait a minute or so and then paint with a thin coat of the silver glitter. I waited about 30 seconds and then slowly removed the template. You don't want the polish to dry with the template in place, or when you remove it, it will pull off your heart. Let it completely dry and then polish with a top coat and you are finished. 

Here is a close up of the mask I made with the Post-It Removable Tape. Right before I added the silver glitter polish.

Here's a close-up of the finished stenciled nail!
