Easy 3D Bendy Card & Christmas Card Inspiration

Hello everyone!

If you love dimensional cards as much as I do, you will LOVE this 3D Bendy Card Tutorial!

In my opinion, this is easier than it looks 😊

I learned this card fold from Marta Debicka. Her YouTube channels is Marta Debicka - Drop Of Sunshine. You can find her video by clicking HERE

And you can find MY video tutorial by clicking HERE

We each show how to make this in a different size. Marta shows how to make a 5" x 7", and in my video I show how to make this card in A2 size (4.25" x 5.5")

I chose to use the adorable Gingerbread Man cutting die set from InLoveArts as well as the InLoveArts "Santa's Sweets" scrapbook paper (links are in my video description box as well as this 25% off discount code for InLoveArts: Janie). But you can use a circle, oval, square, butterfly, or whatever your heart desires.....so many possibilities for so many occasions.

You may wonder why I don't just write out the tutorial here in my blog. Well, honestly, I'm not very good at getting all the details in writing, and I think it's better if you actually WATCH the process. So I hope you don't mind.😊

Thank you all so much for stopping by!

Making A Fall Themed Crumble Candle & Fixing A Disaster 😂

 Hi Everyone!

Today I'm sharing how I made a Fall/Autumn themed Crumble Candle out of a candlemaking disaster!

Sorry to say I don't have the "BEFORE" pictures that show the mess I made of my previous candlemaking project that led to this one, but I do show it in my YouTube video along with how I made this candle.  You can watch that by clicking HERE

Not only did I want to show that a disaster can be salvaged, but I also wanted to show HOW I salvaged it and created this Crumble Candle that was inspired by candles I used to make with Sprinkles from Pink Zebra.

After watching my video, if you don't think you're ready to try this from scratch, you can click here, PINK ZEBRA, and check out their pre-made Sprinkles that you can create candles with.  I'm not affiliated with them, so I don't have a special link or code to offer you.

Life Lesson:

When something looks hopeless, just walk away and give yourself a chance to think of a way to turn it into something that might be even better.

That lesson isn't just for candlemaking or crafting, but for your everyday life 🩷

Altered Cigar Box

 Hello everyone!

Today's project is an Altered Cigar Box!

I love altering things, especially cigar boxes, and I have several! 

As usual, my tutorials are on my YouTube channel, but here I like to give a peek at the project to get you excited to see the video.  Below are video clips of before and after.

What do you think?

If you would like to watch the entire video to see the beginning to end process, you can watch it on my YouTube channel by clicking HERE

Something I didn't share in my video was what I am going to use that for.  It turns out this box is perfect for large index cards, so I'm using it as an index card holder to file birthdays and addresses in 😊

I would love to know what you would use it for.

EASY 6" x 6" Flip & Fold Mini Album Photo Folio Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to my blog!

I designed this Flip & Fold Mini Album many years ago, but in a couple different sizes.... 5" x7" and 4" x 4".... and this one is a 6" x 6".  It is not complicated at all as you will see in my YouTube video tutorial 😊

You can get all of the measurements and instructions by clicking HERE to watch my video.

A heads up.... my tutorial is on how to make the album, but not how to add all the extras.  Everyone has their own style and may not be interested in what I added.  If you see something I added that you would like to learn how to make, just leave me a comment and let me know.  I might already have a video tutorial or can make a video in the future.

This album has pages and pockets for many pictures, journaling, and other things.  It's perfect for pictures of a specific event, like arrival of a baby, or a birthday, or vacation.  It is the perfect size for 4" x 4" photos, or 3" x 5" photos.

This album is easier than it looks.  I hope you stop by and watch😊

Thanks for stopping by!

EASY Split Bow Card A2 Size

Hi everyone!  Welcome to my blog! 

Last week on my YouTube channel I did a tutorial on how to make a Split Bow card.  I chose to make it an A2 size, and horizontal.

It can also be turned vertically.

As you know, I do my tutorials in a YouTube video, and you can watch and follow along by clicking HERE

This card is easy to make even though it looks fancy.  The card base and layers are the same as you would do for your A2 size card.  The bow uses a 6" x 5" piece of double sided patterned paper.  You will also want something to put in the center, whether it's a die cut, piece of ephemera, or sentiment.  That is all you will need!  My video shows how to make the bow 😊

As always the products used are in the video description box, but today I'm also going to include here.
