3-D Wednesday

Good morning my creative friends & welcome to another:

Today I decided to use these sweet tag dies (which I haven't used in forever)! ;) I also wanted to show you how you can turn your light bulb die into a little cutie patootie hot air balloon! I am not the 1st person who did this, one of my AWESOME design team members came up w/this idea & I LOVED it & wanted to try it myself! In my video below, I show you exactly how to make your light bulb into this.

For both of my tag sentiments, I use "More of my Favorite Sayings" stamp set!

Supplies used:
~ Just Tags
~ Your Brilliant
~ More of my Favorite Sayings
~ Natural color Jute
~ Kraft Hemp twine
~ I heart summer Simple Stories 6x6 pad

Thrifty Thursday ~ Circles

GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to another "Thrifty Thursday"! I hope you are sitting down because my design team has some AMAZING cards for you today! Today, we are all using what we have on our craft table or just our scraps. As you can see, we have a little "Circle" theme going on here! ;) Today all of our cards consists of some kind of circles which I think are pretty FUN! I decided to do a circle shaped card since I haven't made one of these in like FOREVER! In my video I show you how I made it using my EK Success circle cutter. I have the older version, but you can get the new version of this cutting tool HERE. Since I had to cut out all of my circles separately, I put them all together using a brad so my card can swivel open.

I even cut out a circle to layer on the inside of the card to put a sentiment!

I am REALLY happy w/how my card turned out! You can see in my video below exactly how I created this FUN circle card today!

Supplies used:

~ Lowercase Fun Dies

~ More of my Favorite sayings

~ You are here! (arrow)

~ Lace Ribbon

~ Simple Stories "I heart summer" 6x6 paper pad

~ Simple Stories "I heart summer" decorative brad

Here is my video for you today:

Thrifty Thursday

Good morning my creative friends & welcome to another "Thrifty Thursday"! Well, today I am continuing w/my teacher gifts! Today, I made Anthony's 3 teachers a card that fits a gift card on the inside! You can see in my video below exactly how I made this "step by step"! I could've used my Gift Card Holder Die but since I was only making 3 items today, I wanted to show you a cute way to use your burlap! I will definitely be using my Gift Card Holder Die tomorrow since I have to make a total of 9 of them! Yep, Baby Aaron has 6 teachers plus Anthony's 3! I like to give the teachers a little something each day for the entire "Teacher Appreciation Week!" Since Baby Aaron has 6 teachers, he decided to just give them all something on last day of the week, which works for me! hehehehe!;)

So, each of Anthony's teachers is getting a gift card to "Peet's Coffee"!

Here is the inside of the card!
