Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone had a great day with their love ones. I got my dozen of roses delivered this afternoon. My dear hubby surprised me, he usually bring it. Been very busy since last night doing all the goodies for my baby girl's classmates and teachers.
Anyway I have a Valetine card to share today. I used this beautiful stamp from WOJ. I used stickles for the wings. I used my red crocheted flower, added beads and fussy yarn.

Challenges for my card:
Let's ink up Romance/Valentines
Magical Monday Love
Oldie But Goodie Add a heart (heart charm and heart in the image)
Sunday with Crissy It's all about love

Finally I used my Cricut Expression, it's been almost a year in the closet. I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge. After I cut from the machine I assembled these big and small boxes.

I covered with Basic Grey pattern paper on the other side of the big box. I altered 2 paper clips and 1 shaped note pad using the same pattern paper. Here are all the goodies for the box.

This is the simple finished goody box for my baby girl's teacher. I added the mini clothe pin with lady bug on and clipped it with the sentiment.

And here is the smaller box, all candies inside. I added pink heart and 3 small flowers on the buttom.
I entered my projects for the following challenges:
Cupcake Craft I Love You
Fussy & Fancy Sweet treat
Gingerloft Red

SPRING FLING BLOG-O-LOG

Happy Friday everyone!!!

I am so excited! Today is my turn to share my simple and quick project. Yes, Easter is just around the corner so I made this simple and quick weave Easter basket.

Are you keeping your cardstock scrap or throwing them away? I hate discarding scraps so I keep them all. This Easter basket gives me fond memories of my childhood. Yes, I used to weave real small baskets made of bamboo and rattan when I was a young girl. I decorated them with pretty embellishments. I really miss those days and want to make some of those baskets again but I cannot find the raw materials here. So I made my own weave Easter basket consisting of cardstocks scrap. Instead of buying, just make your own! Isn’t this a great and wise way to save money? :) I love how it turned out and will make more for Angela’s classmates to give out on Easter Day.

This is the bigger basket.

the front

the side

Simple steps:

* Make an open box. The size it's up to you whatever you want.

* Cut your cardstocks scrap into strip then start weaving. Make sure you have enough to cover the box that you made.

* Adhere the woven cardstocks around the box then add embellishments it's your choice.

*Make a handle from the cardstocks scrap or use some of your ribbon scrap.

In my small basket I used scrap ribbon for the handle. That's how simple and quick to make these weave Easter basket and great way to use your scraps. It’s good for Easter treats for kids, party favor for Easter party or just uses whatever you want.

Products used:
Prima- flowers
Best Occasions and Paper Accents- cardstocks
Ranger- stickles
Making Memories- brads
Studio G- Some Bunny Loves You! And Happy Easter Stamps

Cuttlebug Camp Day 4

Cuttlebug Camp Day 4 *Autumn Tablescape Part 4, Tree of Thanks

My entry for Tree of Thanks. I didn't have wood branches so I used the old branches of the plastic flowers that I bought long time ago. It's good that I didn't throw away, finally I used it for good reason. I cut out the leaves from the cricut using the doodle charm cartridge. Embossed them with different embossing folders and clip it to the branches, that's how simple and easy it is. I used the small flower vase and covered with cardstock that I embossed.

Products I used:

Colorbok- cardstocks

Cuttlebug embossing folders: birds & swirls, D'vine swirl, Spots & Dots, Floral fantasy

Small clothe pins, plastic branches and flower vase

Cuttlebug Camp Day 3

Cuttlebug Camp 3rd Day *Autumn Tablescape Part 3, More Pumpkin

Another paper pumpkin for Autumn Tablescape Part 3. I used my cricut machine to make these 8 circles with scallop on the edges. Embossed them through my cuttlebug , then inked them up, folded them in half then started adhering them together. Before putting the last 2 pieces I tucked in the ribbons. This is easy to make and so much fun. I think this is great for christmas ornaments too, just used christmas colored cardstocks or patter papers. I made only one for now I'll make some more later.

Products I used:

Color Box- ink

Scotch- double sided tape
