Super Cute Ornament for your Tree!

I got creative and decided to use the awesome Very Vanilla 1-1/4" (3.2 Cm) Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon

When I saw that ribbon I knew I had to make something special with it. Here it is!

This cute ribbon is one of those at a great discount and is so shiny and soft. Loving it all!

Check the End of the Year Sale! Too many good discounts to let them go. Oh and BTW…The Precision Plate is on discount ONLY this week. Check it out.

At first I thought I could use as a teeny wreath but then it hit…is perfect for the tree!!

How are you using your ribbons (yes, those waiting for you in the drawer!) Go use them in different ways. 

See that gorgeous flower…check the Bundle here or only the punch here.

All these products are only in the Holiday Catalog. Many items retiring soon. 

Few pictures so you can see the size. So cute!!

Keep creating blessings!! Love sharing ideas with you.

Could this be a cute gift too!?

I held the ribbon on the back with clear tape. :) 

Creative Blessings and Merry Christmas season!

One Wonder Sheet Template 1

A great way to use your pretty papers

I will be sharing with you a super cool way to make cards using your pretty papers to the max. 
There are many ways of using these "One Sheet Wonder" templates and surely you could find many.
I went ahead and made one of my own and I am loving it. 

What is 'One Sheet Wonder'

One Sheet Wonders are just templates that show you how to cut your pretty papers -usually sized 12" x 12"- in order to make several cards or projects with it. 

OSW Template 1 

Why ONE, because I plan to keep making more. These are so easy to use and REALLY help when you want to make many cards. :)

On the one below I suggest you starts by:

1. Cut your paper lengthwise on three columns of 4" x 12"
2. Then cut your column on the left at 4"…you will end with three 4" x 4" squares.
3. Cut your center column as shown from top t bottom.
4. Cut your right column as shown from top to bottom.

Left cards: I used the 4" x 51/4"

Middle card: I used the 4" x 5 1/2"

Right card:One of the 4" x 4" 

Top Left: I used the 1" x 6 1/2" but I cut to length

Bottom left: I used the 4" x 1 1/2"

Right: Both used the 4" x 4" pieces

Here I showed the snowman I die cut from the top cards

To the right my 3- 2" x 2" squares :)

The Snow Place stamp set Bundle is amazing!

To make our class easier I stamped and place the corresponding framelit on top of the image.

Each of my friends LOVED making this set as a gift.

Full Wide Stamp Cases are In!

Did you check yesterday's post. You SHOULD!

It has the embellished wood stamp case I we cased all these cards plus envelopes.

Ready with a gift for a loved one, using what I have in my stash. Yay!

Snow Place Gift Box

Giving from your stash

Would n't you love giving gifts you made yourself?
Is easy!


Full Wide Stamp Cases are in!

Have you ever used these boxes to encase your gifts. You need to try them.
These are sturdy and a very good size.
7 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 1 1/4" 

*It will hold many craft items HINT HINT - they can be used for organizing stamps, markers or more.

Wrap your Full Wide Stamp Cases

For this project I embellished my box with a piece of DSP (Designer Series Paper) 

measuring 7 " wide x 11 1/4"long. Then I inserted inside the plastic shield.

That band is a 1" x 6 1/2" glued on the paper perse, 

so is inside not outside the plastic shield.

The YOU comes from the Hello You Framelits.

Cute Penguin Tag

Are you wondering how I made the tag.

I used the following materials:

Ornate Tag Topper Punch

Snow Place stamp set and framelits

Paper Pumpkin stamp "for you"

Real Red foil paper

Owl Punch (circle that makes the nose)

Metallic Doilies (my fave!)

Basic Black 

Silver

Basic Black Twine

What's inside?

I really enjoyed making this gift.

I placed 11 cards and envelopes for a sure to please gift.

I will show you those tomorrow plus the One Wonder Sheet I created too!

You could place other gifts too:

craft supplies

makeup

chocolates

notepads and pens

jewelry…

The Possibilities are endless.

Have fun creating blessings this season…

Project Life by Stampin'Up!: Seasonal Snapshots

I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for the beautiful Fall season I've been having with my family.

God has been so faithful to us. My most beautiful Thanksgiving since I married and precious time to ponder on His blessings. Yeap, I had my moments of chaos, messes and tears like any mom out there. BUT, is moments like these and photos that capture those moments that help me realize how blessed I am.

I have so much to show you that I've been doing with Project Life. What about I start today?

Let me start by saying…no stress, easy, ENJOYing scrapbooking style.

I love this photo of my little boy. Captures the wonder of his soul and his innocence. 

TIP-O-TIP: 

Don't cover the picture. Add a bit of washi tape on the side of it as an accent and maybe a cool phrase on the bottom (like I did). This Washi Tape comes with the Seasonal Snapshots Part 2, found in this Holiday Catalog. The labels also come with the accents kit.

This is my first page of Fall 2014 in my Holidays Album

I started this album a while ago documenting our whereabouts during Fall & Winter Holidays. I pull it out every year and my children and husband love looking through its pages.

TIP-O-TIP

Use "the kit"! The Seasonal Snapshot accents kit is precious and brings so much you can use. The wooden stars and those cute 2" x 2" cards are great. To add some sparkle to this spot I placed a 3/4" cicle of Gold Glimmer paper (is on the weekly deals till Monday!) behind that star. And glued it with my favorite glue, the Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wanted to put a BIG title here so I used one of my retired Big Shot Dies to cut these letters.

Then made banners from Cherry Cobbler, island Indigo and White covered with the washi tape).

I made a bow out of this Gold Cord -I LOVE it and is retiring…in January, boo!

TIP-O-TIP

If you want to bring in more color to a card. Punch a semi-circle on an area were the back card shows. I made sure I knew WHAT was going to be showing through it. Yay! Love it!

The cards and accents collection bring with it such neat clips and die cuts. But my favorite thing is the different fonts found in each set. Love these two types of letter, so I used both. 

Again added some bling with a gold glitter paper star punch with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch. 

TIP-O-TIP FOR BEGINNERS

Take your time. Start however, but start using your kits.

Start with the cards you like, or start with the pictures, or the journaling.

Keep it simple…don't finish all at once. Enjoy it, come back to it. 

Add a bling here and there and be done for the day. WHY pressure ourselves. ENJOY documenting your stories.

Hope you enjoy seeing more of these Project Life posts.
If you do, could you leave me a short comment below. It helps my blog and business in  multiple ways!

Thanks and Creative Blessings,
