Quick Christmas Money Card Holder

 

I think sometimes giving cash is so much easier than getting a gift card.  Individuals can use cash anywhere and are not tied to spend that money at a certain store.  Teenagers are great people to give cash too because they love so many different things.  I made a quick video to show how easy this is to make and how fast it is.  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope this helps you.

Craft Now...Chores Later

 

I made some scrubbies for my friend.  Scrubbies replace wash clothes in the kitchen.  So of course, I had to have a card to go with my gift.  I designed the ruffle curtain for the window.  My goal was to use 6 x 6 papers to make a scene from wallpaper, to the floor, to the paper piercing cabinets, the view out the window and the curtain.

 Here is a video, if you are interested in any of these items:

Father's Day Card Shaped Big Pickup Cab with Glow in Dark Headlights

 

This Stamp and Die Set from Honey Bee Stamps called Big Pickup Cab is just an adorable way to make a Father's Day card.  However, this could be used in so many ways.  I enjoyed making it as a shaped card to surprise the recipient and taking it to the next notch with glow in the dark headlights, I feel it is a special fun card!  I hope this card inspires you to create a fun card for Father's Day or any occasion.  Thanks for stopping by.....

Sending Love - Pop up Flower Box Card

 

Today, I am showcasing the inside of the card instead of the front of the card.   I love how this card surprises the recipient with a pop-up surprise of a flower garden.  I think this card is perfect for Mother's Day, Get Well Cards, I love you cards, and the list could go on and on.  What type of card would you use this pop-up surprise card for?  It is so simple to make!  I hope it gives you inspiration to brightens someone's day.  Thanks for popping by!!!

Spring Garden Time!

 

 

Spring is in the air!  It is time to get out those seeds and start the garden season.  It is so much fun to see a garden grow and even more rewarding to eat the food.  It is also time for farmer's markets and obtaining food grown locally from others.  What a wonderful time of year!  I hope you are having an upbeet day! Thanks for stopping by!

I am so excited it is graduation time!  My friend's daughter is graduating from high school this year which is such a huge accomplishment.  I was blessed that I won a gift card from Stamp Simply and was able to pick up there graduation die cuts called "Congrats Grad".  I was super impressed by how smooth they cut in my die cutting machine.  Of course, I had to create a couple of graduation cards because it is always great to be prepared.  Graduations sneak up on us...as time flies by.  Hats off to the graduates....thanks for stopping by!

How to Assemble Tim Holtz Sizzix Oliver Rabbit

 

If you are like me, sometimes you struggle on how to assemble a die when there are so many parts.  I also assemble the die the first time and then forget how to assemble it again. Do you ever struggle with dies? So, I created this video as a reference tool to assemble Oliver.  I think he is so adorable.  Thanks for stopping by....
