Ok so like many of you I have told myself “I am going to use each one of my craft items, stamps/punches/programs… etc… at least once before I buy anything else”.  I have been telling myself this for a few YEARS now. Well this is it! I will make an item as soon as I can after I get my new item. This is the embossing folder (Stampin up Northern Flurry) and die (Stampin up Northern Frost) I ordered at Gina’s the other day and got today. I love this folder! I think I will be using this one a lot. The die is beautiful (a little time consuming picking out all the little pieces) I made a bunch of the snow flakes to use as I need them. I used pink because that was what was on the desk but I like it.

Stampin Up Stamp a Stack

I had to get this embossing folder.

We couldn't decide if I already had this dear so I didn't get it, I should have because if I have it I can't find it.lol

Gift card holder.... Now that is easy gift giving.

Had a great time with Gina and friends. Gina always has such great ideas and I so enjoy spending time doing something I love. We played from 1pm to 5pm and left with 16 cards, 2 gift card holders, and 2 money holders.
Thanks again Gina.

One for my Son

Can you believe I have 2 posts’ in a row for you.lol I have been looking around at all yawls’ work and this is another one I have CASEd. I am so enjoying my time in my craft room and the weather is working out great. It is raining here now so there is nothing else to do but hang out up in my craft room.   I made this one for my son who loves to golf.

Mother's Day Gift Box

I am feeling very good that I am ahead of the game. I have Easter and Mother’s day done. This is for my mother-in-law, I will put candy and ear rings in the little drawers.

Easter treat holders for my boy's

I made these for my 3 boy’s and my wonderful husband for Easter. I am not going to go all out this year just a few little treats in these bunny bags. I say that every year but I am going to stick to it this year.

I got this pattern from Gina’s Hostess Club last year. Thanks Gina I still love this one

Not back but a little better

I still can’t really think of things I really want to make so I cased this bird house and I think it is cute. The original was made with the mini stampin up sizzix die. This one is not that small and was cut with an SVG cut. I will fill the birdhouses with candy and give as a gift. 

The card was fun; the shoe is from the cridut wedding cartridge. I like the easel cards so thought the shoe was perfect.

Not back yet...

Well the mojo isn’t back but thought I would try the new stamp sets I bought at the stamp show last month. These stamps come with the nestability dies to cut them out. I still like to hand cut them so with I hadn’t bought the nestabilities.

Need my mojo back.....

Ok well I had the time to stamp BUT…. I can’t think of anything new that I want to make. I guess the mojo is gone, I hope it comes back soon. I finely come up with this and really felt like my mojo is gone. Oh well guess it happens to all of us at some point. Hope you all have a great week.

Top note tag set

I had a great time making this today, I thought I got the tutorial from this blog but looking back at her work I can’t find it. Sooooo I am not sure where it came from. I hate to leave you hanging so if anyone knows where the original is please leave me a post and I will add it here. Anyway you should check out the link above this gal is so talented. I always find great ideas there.

More Black and White Wedding Hearts

Another black and white heart wedding card. I used the cricut and the wedding cartridge to cut the shoes and the hat. These hearts are from the stampin up design studio. I haven’t used it much but when I do I like it. I printed the hearts out on white card stock and cut them out to layer on this card.

Purse Scrapbook

I will be selling these little purse scrapbooks at a craft show next weekend so I made one up to show how it looks finished. I used pictures of my great niece and it came out sooooooo cute. These are pictures of her first year and she is so much fun. I wish they lived here in town so I could enjoy her more.

Big Shot/Cuttlebug Storage

I had to move it to a really big trunk type box but this is really working out well. It is on wheels and rolls right under the pool table.

Matchbox Christmas Tree

Totally cased but can’t remember from where (sorry). It is very cute but don’t think I will be making many of these. It takes one piece of paper per box and a lot of sticky strip. Just don’t think I could get my money out of them.

Giftcard Purse

I just love the top note die from Stampin up. These gift card purses are really cute. I will be filling the inside with candy (chocolate what else) and hope to sale them at the craft shows. Hope everyone will have a chance to stamp this weekend. The weather is a little rainy today so maybe it will stick around for the weekend too ;-)

June Hostess Club

Well this is the last Hostess club meeting but we had a great time. What a great bunch of ladies. As always Gina has out done herself with these cards. She will be the first to say they are “CASEd” but they all have her touch to them. Thanks again Gina.

I liked this card so much I had to buy this set.

Top Note Quit Blocks

I have been seeing these cards all over. I like the fact they can be used for any occasion. This one is another Make-A-Wish thank you, but I think I will be making a baby one…. I have been saying I want a baby around right…Well I won’t be a grandmother anytime soon but I will be a great aunt again... And this one lives here in town so maybe I will be seeing him/her more.
So for this card I punched 1” x 1” squares and glued them to card stock. I used the top note die from stampin up and then the cuttlebug embossing folder. Easy and fast and sometimes that is just what you need.

Mojo Monday Challenge & Make A Wish Card Set

Here is my Mojo Monday challenge card. I hope everyone is having a great week.

Thanks for all the lovely comments you all leave for me. You make it so fun to keep posting here.

Paper Craft Planet Cuttlebug Challenge

Well today’s challenge was a fun one. It was to make a masculine card using only blue, green, and gray and a neutral of your choice oh and of course your cuttlebug die or embossing folder. I think this card is just so cute I tend to use this design quite often. It really is a quick and easy masculine card.
