A Box Of Cards-Part One

Happy Thursday! I made this box to hold Christmas cards. I love it very much and I don't know if I could ever part with it. This box holds 6 cards with envelopes.


Come back tomorrow and I'll show you the matching cards. You're going to love them!

I'm going to sew some costumes for my church annual Children's Christmas Program tonight with a few other ladies. I haven't sewn in years. I can already hear the grinding of the gears right now!

Happy Stamping!

Snowy Card Case

I made this last week and finally have a chance to post this. Been busy scanning work samples to send to the teacher.


I saw this card case over at Paper Pleasing and thought I try to make it. It was easy to make. It only uses one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock to make.


Here are the instructions:

On the 11 inch side, you need to score your CS at 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 8 1/4 and 8 3/4. Then turn it to the 8 inch side, and score it at 3/4, 1 1/4, 7 1/4 and 7 3/4.

Where the score lines overlap, you need to cut them out. Stamp before you assemble the box.

Add sticky strip to the bottom panel (this is the larger one) and folding the two outside ones in, you stick it all together.

I made four cards to go in the box. Here is a group photo.

Close up of the cards.


Have a happy Wednesday and thanks for visiting!

Christmas Lights - Priceless

A friend sent this to me. Thought I share this with you.

A friend has been on her husband 's case to get the Christmas lights up for a couple of weeks.
They are up now and he canʼt understand why sheʼs not talking to him.

Gift Card Holders

Here are some gift card holders I made for my sister to choose from.

This one is like a wallet with a belly band.

Inside view.

This one is a pull out gift card holder. It is like the pull out treat holder.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US reader!

Here are some match book treat holder I made a couple of weeks ago. They are fun to make. These measures 3"x8" scored at 1" and 5". I staple the treat to the short flap and just tuck the longer flap in.

Mini Thank You Cards

I made these four mini Thank You cards awhile ago. There was a matching card holder that came with it but my lovely 2 years old did something to it. It would have been a nice little gift to give away but I don't have this DSP anymore. I used the left over DSP to make these 3"x4" cards. I used the Much Appreciated and To Have and To Hold stamp sets.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting! It is raining real hard here as I'm writing this.

Little Gift Box

Isn't this gift box the cutest? I got the instruction here. I filled the small cello bag with chocolate covered almonds, tie it off with 5/8" grosgrain ribbon with a tag that said "for you".


Here is the side view of the box. I used my scallop edge punch to punch the side pieces.

Here is the back view. I stamped something I didn't like so I covered it with DSP and chocolate chip card stock.

Thanks for stopping by!

Star Ornaments

These stars a fun to make and very easy. I purchase the Star Bright DSP Ornaments kit from the Holiday Mini Catalogue. They are die cut so it was easy and fast for creating. More time for you to do other things like make a card. I made mine 3D. I used 2 Way Glue to glue the tips together. I also made some paper globes but forgot to take a picture of them. I'll post them when I get to it.

I Will Not Misplace a Stamp Again!

Do you have tons and tons of stamps and some of them are almost the same? I do. Especially snowflake stamps. I just love snowflakes. I have about almost every set that SU sells and they can be confusing as to which stamp goes back to which set when using all different snowflakes to make cards. So I found a way to keep track of my stamps. This really helped me when I do classes and workshops. Some of my customers like to help cleaning up and this idea shows them which stamps goes to which set without asking me.

This picture shows two of the same sheet of the stamp adhesive labels. The top one is the original and the bottom one is the copy one. Before I put the labels onto the wood, I make a copy of that label sheet. Then I cut the copy one to fit in the stamp box. Now I can put the original labels onto my wood.


Here is how it looks like in the stamp storage box. Now I know if I'm missing/misplace a stamp from that set.

Hope this idea help you to be more organize with your stamp sets.

Happy Stamping!

Birthday Invites

I made this invitation for Faith's and Hope's birthday party this Saturday. I used the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set to make this invitation. I put Dazzling Diamonds on the frosting of the cupcakes and they looked so pretty IRL. The sentiment is from the Please Come stamp set. I cut a sheet of card stock into quarters for these invitations. I stamped the back info with the Welcome, Little One stamp set.

I pray that it will be a good weather so the kids can go outside to play on the playground.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
