Moose Wonderful Birthday Card!

I made this adorable moose birthday card for my grandson using Kadoodle Bug Designs "Chocolate Cupcake Moose" and a Deco Foil technique I share in my video "7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts WITHOUT A MACHINE"


The Kadoodle Bug files can be cut using Cricut Design Space or if you don't have a Cricut you can print and cut by hand. I used foam tape to pop up the moose and label for added dimension. I used CTMH Liquid Glass on the eyes and cherry. And for the foil trim around the edge of the card and label I used Gina K Designs "Dazzling Orange" Fancy Foils and used one of the techniques I share in my video "7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts WITHOUT A MACHINE" (CLICK HERE TO WATCH) I add a few sequins for a festive look. I think my grandson will love it :)

Treat Box / Gift Box Tutorial - So Many Possibilites!

I am having way to much fun making Treat Boxes and Gift Boxes.....and this one can be used either way!  So many possibilities .....so many different occasions ....so much fun!

That adorable stamped image is from the "Janie's Girl Frames" stamp set from Paper Wishes

The papers used on the two below are from VectoriaDesigns
This paper is from the "Hearts" printable paper pack

And this paper is from the "Shabby Flowers" printable paper pack

There is a little drawer that slides out.  It holds candy, or tea bags, or other treats.  I used dies to cut the windows BUT....if you don't make a window in the box it is perfect for a small gift like a ring or bracelet or necklace!

Watch my YouTube video tutorial by clicking HERE 
You will be surprised at how easy this is!

Cute Shaker Valentine's

My kids are grown so we really don't have the need to make kid's Valentine's anymore....BUT...I decided to make Valentine's to send to my grandkids as a nice suprise.

I have a stamp and die set from CTMH that I got about a year ago (they don't sell it anymore) and thought it was perfect for Valentine's.....it has cute little animals and matching sentiments.  


I used papers that had opposite color schemes, die cut a heart from the center of each, and for a background I took the hearts that were cut out of the red paper and added it to the shaker of the white ones......and the white ones were added to the red.  Then I filled them with red heart sequins and silver sequins.  And finally I added the stamped die cuts to the front of the card.  The end results....adorable shaker Valentine's!!!

Sorry this was not a tutorial.  If you need to learn how to make shaker cards you can watch one of my tutorials by clicking HERE

Mailbox Treat Box - Valentine's or Any Occasion!

Valentine's Day will be here before you know it and what is more perfect that a cute treat box filled with goodies!!!

I love these mailboxes!!!  They are so easy to make and can be decorated so many ways....shabby chic, playful, masculine or even for kids!  In fact they are easy enough for kids to make!
You can CLICK HERE for the YouTube tutorial

On this mailbox I used some Deco Foil for the "Love" and one of the hearts (a NO MACHINE technique I share in a video you can see by clicking HERE).  The stitched hearts are die cuts.  I added some lace and pearls to the bottom edge. And the Valentine Tickets are from VectoriaDesigns and can be found HERE  as well as the Shabby Flowers printable paper pack.


On this mailbox I used the Hearts printable paper pack, also from VectoriaDesigns, as well as their Valentine Tags , and I added some bling to the bottom edge and a bow on top.


For this mailbox I used stitched heart dies and gave them some sparkly shimmer with a CTMH Shimmer Brush, and added some lace and pearls to the bottom edge.  I also used another paper from the Shabby Flowers printable paper pack and Love Coupons both from VectoriaDesigns.
