Here is my project for today:

I don’t know about where you live, but here in Texas it is starting to look like Winter! So I think about Blue and Gray colors for my Winter projects which I’m sure is why I picked Mink as the color I wanted to use. The 4 color choice I chose includes: Mink Pewter, Carolina and Sapphire. I really like this color combo!

If you know my Husband and I, we get into astronomy a little, so if you hang out with us for a while you will likely spend a night looking at the stars! So of Course this stamp set, Friends are like Stars, really appeals to me!

Here is what I came up with:

I made two versions, the first is a little fun as I stamped the stars in Sapphire on the white ribbon:

The second is me I used the Mink Twine with a double Bow:


I also ad0ded Clear Shimmer to the stars and dots (hard to see in a picture):


Leave me a comment and let me know which one you like the best!

I hope your winter is looking good!

If you came from Michelle Loncar's Blog you are on the right track!

Here is my project for today:

I used both card bases to make this fun card.

I cut up the blue card base


The part I cut out of this card is just shy of 5 5/8 x3 1/2”.

Then I used the stamp set (which is a MUST HAVE) with Sapphire ink to stamp the sentiment and snowflakes.


I removed the plastic from the acetate circle and removed the top off of just the outer circle and placed the acetate on top (so the acetate is just stuck to the outer circle, not the inside pieces).


Then loosen back off of outer ring of adhesive and remove the acetate piece with the adhesive attached, leaving the small pieces still in tact to use later.


I placed the sentiment piece I made over the sentiment on the second card and decided to pop up my sentiment piece, so I used the small foam squares that I had left from taking off the circle foam (it REALLY does have everything included to have fun playing!).


I added the round stitched sticker frame for the top of the Shaker 

And even have a sticker for the outside of the envelope!

Mini Sewing project bookmark

Mini Project Bookmark Mouse!

Well, as promised here is a tiny sewing project:

I was asked to make some bookmarks and somewhere online I came across animal bookmarks, so here is mine:

Isn’t he so cute!?! I decided to use blue to give to a male. You can color with any colors you like!

Fold a 3 x 3” piece of Cardstock (I used White Daisy Cardstock, if using Cardstock make sure to use your bone folder and make sure to crease well and. Fold evenly.) Pattern paper can also be used..

Follow the pictures to fold:











Tuck the corners over the flap:

Now use a scrap and fold over end and cut out the shape you want your ears:

Cut them in half to have two ears:

Color the inside of your ears, nose and eyes with markers (I used Shin-Han alcohol markers):

Place a tiny bit of tape at the end of the ears and set aside:

Draw in some whiskers with a pencil and unfold:

Pierce holes on ends of whiskers and erase marks:

Use Silver Embellishing Thread to sew in the whiskers:

I just taped the ends on the inside:

Refill, add ears and enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the project today! May be a good Christmas Odr Summer gift for kids!

Here is my project for today:

I love the Boutique Cardmaking Workshop Your Way! So...I just changed it up a little! The cards are so fun and easy to put together!


To make this card, I put the 3/4" strips of pattern paper from the kit across the front of the card diagonally and cut off the ends.


Then I stamped the Heart image from the kit (in Sugarplum and then rolled the edge in Saffron - have to say I haven't used this color much but it made a great pop of color for this card) and cut it out with the Stitched Heart Thin Cuts.



I can now 'sew' my Silver Embellishing Thread through the stitches that the Thin Cut left:



Back side:

All that's left is to stamp the sentiment and little stitches at the bottom of the sentiment piece in Charcoal Ink, tie a bow on the heart and add some Bitty Sparkles (I did use Thin Foam Tape to pop up the sentiment piece).


I know you can't see how sparkly it is on the photo, but maybe this close up will give you an idea:




Sew Easy! Adding the thread to the heart did take a couple of minutes, but SO worth it!

Ask your Consultant about the products above. If you don't have a Consultant I would love the opportunity to earn your business. You can contact me here or if you are ready to shop, you  can visit my website here.

If you came from Brittany Allred's Blog you are on the right track!

Here is my project for today:

I did a fun little card that also includes the new Color of the year, Sugarplum:

I centered the Cardstock and pattern paper on the front of the card base (opens to right side). Then for the sentiment base piece I centered the pink watercolor patter, however, you will notice that I left the top and bottom at 1/4” each of white showing and only 1/8” (to match the card sides) showing on the ends.

I also wrapped the Peacock word patter strip around the center of the pink piece and secured it on the back.

I stamped the sentiment (From the STAMP of The Month, S1809 Just Treats) in Peacock Ink and colored the ‘fat’ parts of the letters with the Sugarplum Shimmer brush, as well as the drops. I stamped the candies in black ink and the inside with Sugarplum. I then colored the candies (from D1806 Hello Pumpkin Stamp Set) with the Sugarplum Shimmer Brush, on the inside stripes and halfway on the wrapper ends (I just squiggled lines to try and match the wrapper end and then colored it in). I added 3 Bitty diamonds on the sentiment piece (by the droplets).

I adhered the sentiment at an angle to the pink strip and popped up the candies with thin pop dots.

Here you can see the shimmer:


I hope you like my project today. Here are the dimensions for the card pieces:

White card base (open to right side) closed 5 1/2 x 4 1/4”

Sugarplum Cardstock 5 3/8 x 4 1/8”

Sugarplum Cardstock 2 3/4 x 2 1/4”

Boutique Rose Pattern 5 1/8 x 3 7/8”

White Daisy Cardstock 2 x 4 1/4”

White Daisy Cardstock 2 1/2 x 2” (for sentiment)

Scrap White Daisy Cardstock (candies and cut out)
