Me!



My Favorite Things Designers


OK, so onto my project!  I have to say that I really liked using the dies from MFT, they are not only functional but really pretty too!


I just love the pinwheels, they are made with the Pinwheel Die-namics.  I embellished them with some beautiful brads and placed them in a pocket with some bamboo skewers and a small piece of styrofoam.



Next was my card:


I used the Flip Flop Scrapbook from the Scor-Pal projects list and made a few minor adjustments.  See my tutorial below.  The image on the front of the card is from MFT also, it's a Pure Innocence, Start Each Day with Whee!

Here is in the inside of the card:



The inside doilies are Decorative Doily Die-namics.  Here is the tutorial for the card:



Start with two pieces of chipboard cut 5"x5" and cover them with decorative paper.  Next cut a sheet of cardstock 4 3/4" x 12" and 4 3/4" x 9", score the 12" piece at 3"and 9". turn the paper over and score at 6".  Score the 9" piece at 3", turn paper over and score at 6".





attach the two sheet as shown below:


Decorate the inside with sheets of designer paper cut 4 1/2" x 2 3/4".



Attach chipboard to the front and back and decorate as you please!

Have fun hopping along!

Scor-Pal & Jillibean Soup blog hop!



Hello everyone!!  I'm so glad you stopped by today!  Today there is a wonderful winterful blog hop happening between Scor-Pal and Jillibean Soup!  Check out all of the details on the Scor-Pal Blog!  Then start hopping!



I made this cute little gift holder for my project.  I started with Tilda in a Stocking and colored her with Distress Inks.  Of course, the designer paper is from Jillibean Soup.  The die behind Tilda is a gorgeous snowflake from Memory Box, I absolutely LOVE these dies!  I used flowers from Wild Orchid Craft to cover up part of the box.  The big stocking die is from Stampin Up!
I also used the scallop punch from Stampin Up! behind my sentiment.

Here is a side view


For the box I used a piece of red cardstock 7" x 4 1/4", score 1" on both sides of the 7", then turn your paper and score at 3" and 4".  On the long side of the paper score at 1/2" about 2" down, repeat on all sides. See below:

Next, cut the flaps at 3" and 4" up to the 1" score mark.


Adhere with Scor-Tape as shown below:


Pinch your box at the top to create folds as shown.  Attach your decorated stockings to each side of the gift box.


Hope you enjoy our hop!

Skating Tilda


Hello everyone!  We are in the middle of a snow storm and having very cold weather right now, so this card is perfect for today's forcast!  Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love snow.  The crispness, how it makes everything look so clean (until it starts melting) snow is just so beautiful!

I chose the number 25 for my card (Christmas Day) for today's challenge at Cute Card Thursday.  I just love Skating Tilda, she looks so graceful.  I colored my image with copic markers and cut her out and used pop dots on top of an embossed snowflake oval.  The fab papers are from BoBunny along with the medallion.  I used an awesome die from Memory Box, it is so detailed and festive.  I just love their dies!  I added a few sparkles to the snow border to give it bling and shine.

I'm glad you stopped by today, hope to see you back soon!

Green and Grey challenge - CCT

I am late posting my challenge card for Cute Card Thursday but better late than never!  The challenge was to make a card using green and grey.  So I used these gorgeous papers from Stampin Up!  I am not a Stampin Up! consultant but my friend Lisa can help you find anything you may need from Stampin Up!

I used Tilda with Cookies for my image.  I just love her, isn't she the cutest!  I colored her with Distress Inks.  The beautiful holly leaves are from Sizzix, it came as a die and embossing sleeve combo.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scor-Pal November Challenge




Happy November!  OK, I know I'm a little late!  Today is the day for our monthly challenge at Scor-Pal.  This months theme is "Thankful", it can be a thank you card, thank you gift or anything you create that you are thankful for! 

I chose to make this awesome CD holder for my sister because she has been she takes care of our parents in Michigan and I live in Colorado.  She works so hard and takes such good care of them, they have both had a lot of medical issues lately and I feel so guilty not being there!  The CD has pictures of my kids on it for her.  I used this TUTORIAL from Scor-Pal.  It was super simple to make and I think it makes such a great gift!

Recipe:
Stampin Up! paper and sentiment
Bazzill cardstock

Tools:
Scor-Pal
Cuttlebug embossing folder
straight edge trimmer

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you got some inspiration to make some gifts today!
