Hi my crafty friends!

I know that just about everyone Love's Lucy and thought I would make Mary's file from Miss Baker's Class kit into my all time favorite comedy pair. This was so fun to make and I love how it turned out.

You can get this file Free over at Mary & Leo's site here

I love the paper I got at Joann's, it's called "Me and my Big Ideas" by Ellen Krans. I picked it up a month ago while it was 5 for a buck and it just popped out at me and said buy me :) While I was deciding which papers to use this morning, it again popped out and I'm glad it did. 

Isn't this soooo cute? 

For the picture insert I scanned a picture that I had and printed  and cut it to fit. I printed it on glossy photo paper.

This is the inside and I doubled the papers to make it extra sturdy.

I added pink heart brads to the handle.

The epiphany heart tool is so cool. I made matching hearts out of the same paper and made a two tone green bow.

That's it for today my friends!

I Love Ya!

Pick A Pumpkin Large 3D Fall Pumpkin

Hello everyone!

Time to pick a 3D Pumpkin! 

Pumpkin time is almost here and what better way to get ready than to make 3D pumpkins.

This pumpkin was made using Mary & Leo's kit called "Pick A Pumpkin" here

http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=273

They even have a video tutorial!

I used the large pumpkin svg but made it larger and added an open top lid

Here's a close up of the top lid.

This is the inside without the lid. I inked the accent paper after I glued them on but next time I will ink the edges before I put them on so they stand out more.

I added a two tone bow and some paper curly cues. Also some fall leaves with pop dots.

That's it for today my friends so I will bid you farewell and happy crafting.

More fall creations coming!

Keep smiling!

Pumpkin Maple Syrup Card

Hi my friends!

Yep, it's starting to look like Pumpkin time around here. Getting ready for the harvest challenge over at Mary & Leo's facebook site here https://www.facebook.com/svgcuts

In fact tomorrow they will be offering a FREE kit! I can't wait to see what Mary has created.

So, while I'm waiting to enter their Autumn challenge here 

https://www.facebook.com/svgcuts?v=app_100142423390621&rest=1

I've made a pumpkin card from Mary's Caramel Apple Pie kit. I used some of the

elements and created this card. I first welded the pumpkin & stem to a rectangle in eCal (surecuts) and then pieced together the pumpkin and added a glue dot to the top pumpkin. I inked them all with Tim Holtz distressed ink, gotta love those inks. I use the Martha Stewart edge punch up the side of the card. I added a gold,orange and brown ribbon on top and I may add an acorn. This was a fun card to make but it did take some time to do the three layers of the Maple syrup letters. Of course I had to ink each layer :) I love how it turned out. Great card for the pumpkin harvest season!

Thank about it for today. Thanks for looking and have a fun day and remember it's almost Friday ;)

Happy crafting!

I use bronze ink on the letters.

Holiday Pink/Red Paper Cosage Flowers

Hello friends!

Here's some more paper flowers I made and decorated with lace and ribbon. I used thin 12 x 12 paper that had white writing on all of them except I inked the larger and smaller ones with Tim Holtz distressed inks. I used florescent glitter on the other one with the baby's breath. You can use any kind of papers to make many beautiful flowers to decorate your Holiday or special occasion gift boxes. Or, you could give them as a corsage and put a pin back on them. Let me know if you can think of any other ways to use these flowers. Thanks for looking and have a beautiful day.

See my post under these for the svg files.

Have a crafty day!

Christmas Red Paper Roses

Time to Smell the ROSES!

Hello my Dear friends! 
It's Monday and time for some pretty flowers~

For the large flower I used the eClips machine & cut 6 scalloped circles that have 10 (you can use most any petal count) scallops and most any weight papers. I use lightweight on these. I cut each one 3.002 x 3.108.   Then you hand-cut approximately 3/4" into every 2 scallop. Using a stylus or pencil I curled each side of the pedals up. The three that you use for the base will only be curled slightly and the other three curled tightly. Place a little glue in the middle of the first circle and proceed to layer and stagger each circle.   I inked the edges of the pedals with Tim Holtz distressed inks and added some pearls, Christmas pod centers and  ribbon.  The small flower  has 15 scallops and I cut 6 also.  Cut each one 2.011 x 2.034" and hand-cut 1/2" into every 3 scallops. Follow the same directions as the larger flower. Pretty simple to assemble and you will have your flowers ready to be placed on your gift bags or boxes. They really dress up your packages with a nice touch. And, you can even add a scent to the bottom so that it smells good too. I think I'll add a touch of cinnamon for the Christmastime flowers.

 If you need further directions, please email me.
Most of all have Fun!

Wishing

“What makes the difference between wishing and realizing our wishes?  Lots of things, and it may take months or years for a wish to come true, but it’s far more likely to happen when you care so much about a wish that you’ll do all you can to make it happen.”

Spirit of Christmas Past Old Fashioned Bicycle Card

Hello everyone! I hope your Sunday is fun and relaxing. 

I've been busy making this Old Time Bicycle Christmas card today. Another cute card from Mary & Leo's svg site. I just love  old bicycles! Something about antique things that I love and especially Christmas. Boy, am I in the mood for Christmas now or what. How many more days until the big day? I will be Really ready when it arrives...hehe

Here's the link to Mary & Leo's site for the Spirit of Christmas Past Bicycle Card.

http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=285

I had some shiny Christmas braid and laced it though the holes and added a red jewel. I also added red & green jewels up the side. The red berries were inked with Tim Holtz distressed inks and also the green leaves, wheels and side accent panel.

I cut a piece of Christmas paper and glued the embossed snow layer to the inked window pane.

I cut out the letters and added a red gem and star.

This would make a very special card for someone on your list. Fun to make and looks great when it's finished. 

You are Special!

I think a nice Pero card is in order..smile~

For the top lid I used Tim Holtz distressed inks. Gotta love his inks! The colors are so vibrant!

I used some puffy paint on the letters N & G to give them a little zing. I really like that paint. If I had the blue & green, I would have used it on all the letters. I glued and sprinkled florescent glitter on the snowflake.  I also made the Red & Green heart button with my Epiphany tool. I inked the paper with Tim Holtz inks & tied really thin gold wire through the buttons and curled it. I have the scalloped circle tool also. I just love those buttons! Here's a link to their site Epiphany  http://epiphanycrafts.com/

Have a wonderful week and thanks for coming.

 Keep on the lookout for More Christmas things to appear.
