GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Inspiration Wednesday!"
Today my team & I created cards based on something that inspired us!
For my card here, the thing that inspired me were the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons! I've had them for awhile & just now I am getting around to using them! Now, I know I should have looked into HOW to use these before I did my video, but I didn't have a chance to research, so I just winged it! ;) You can see in my video below how I made a stencil with my star die & used the Picket Fence crayon to create a shadow behind the red & blue stars!
Thank you ALL for stopping by & I hope we inspired "YOU" today! :)
Have a FABULOUS day my sweet friends & I will see you all back here tomorrow!
P.S. I just wanted to let you all know that our 54th Edition Release is next week!!!! We will start our sneaky peeks on Monday, April 18, 2016! I CANNOT WAIT!!! :)
HAPPY WEDNESDAY my sweet friends & welcome back to another "What a Treat Wednesday!"
First off, before I get to my project, I just want to say a big CONGRATS to my younger guy "Anthony". Today is a BIG day for him because he is graduation from the 8th grade & headed to the BIG BOY highschool! :) I am proud to say that my baby will be graduating with honors! I am MOSTLY proud of, is that he has managed to maintain his 4.0 status since the 4th grade~! I have stressed to him that if he wants to still play baseball, it is VERY IMPORTANT to have excellent grades & I am HAPPY that he listened!
With that said, I snuck a little something in this box for him! I can't say OR show you what it is because he sometimes looks at my blog! ;) Let's just say that he will be one HAPPY little boy! :)
I decided to use the Milk Carton Die & it was SIMPLE to put together AND it hides the gift PERFECTLY! :) You can see in my video below how I created this!
GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to our first "Teach Me Thursday!" When ever we have 5 Thursdays in a month, we will be doing this feature as a BONUS for all of "YOU!" I hope you enjoy this! Basically, at each one of my design team member's blogs, you will see a step by step tutorial explaining to you EXACTLY how they created each project!
I decided to make a "Shaker Card Tag!" I always make cute tags to attach to my gift bags & put a separate card on the inside. I thought it would be cute to make a tag into a card so I can eliminate putting a separate card on the inside of a gift! I explain in my video below exactly how I created this FUN card tag! :)
Here is how it looks opened up! There is plenty of room for you to stamp a sentiment on the inside OR write a personal message for the recipient!
Wasn't this SUPER FUN??? I hope we all inspired YOU today to sneak into your craft rooms & do one of these or ALL of these tutorials you saw today! Have a FABULOUS day my sweet friends & I will see you all back here SOON! :) xoxo
P.S. I noticed I had a few questions yesterday in my comments & here are the answers! :)
I listed above under the "Other Products Used" the double sided adhesive foam I used and the Glitter Foam that I used for Wednesday's post! There you will see links to where I purchased them from!
Next, someone asked about the green smoothies that I make for family every morning! Here is the recipe here! The EASIEST way to have these every morning is to spend a little time on a Sunday & cut up everything so all you have to do is throw it in your blender each morning! I use a Vitamix & that is where this recipe is from! This green smoothie is actually YUMMY!
Good morning my sweet friends & welcome to another "Do Over Thursday!" Today is the day that my team & I remake a project that we were not too thrilled about the first time around! I decided to "do-over" this tag HERE! I "really" wasn't happy with it, so I decided to do an entire make over of it! LOL….. ;) I hope you like my newer version using our NEW goodies! I just HAD to put our new adorable hot air balloon from "The Sky is The Limit" onto a tag! I paired it up w/our new star dies along w/one of the sentiments from "You're My Hero" set & I thought it came out pretty cool! ;) The pattern paper I used was from my stash of scraps! :) After adding some cute silver circle confetti's from Pretty Pink Posh next I added the ribbon & twine, then left it alone! hehehe~!

I am SUPER HAPPY about today's sneak!

The biggest star die in this set measures 5x5 & the smallest start die measures 1x1.
For my card today, I wanted to used the different sizes of stars & adhere them to my card & ALSO create a shaker for one of the stars to add some interest to my card!
