A Birthday Pocket Letter

Hello everyone! I have jumped on the Pocket Letter bandwagon. I think they are really cool, so I made one for my niece, Brooke, for her birthday. It took me awhile to make it and come up with some ideas, but in the end, I think it turned out super cute. In the pockets I've added:

• Washi tape and stickers;
• Ghirardelli chocolates;
• Decals for her nails;
• Shaker pendant necklace with her initial inside;
• Zinnia seeds for her to plant;
• Ribbon;
• Die cutouts to make some bows like the one above the birthday bear die cut;
• Die cut lacy oval to use on a project; and
• More Ghirardelli chocolate (can't have too many of those!).  

I had a lot of fun making this and will make more for other occasions. You should give them a try! I hope you enjoy my project.

Cardz TV Challenge #7 - Create a 3-D Project Using Flowers

 

Hello everyone! Welcome back for the 3-D Challenge #7 at Cardz TV! This week’s challenge is to create a 3-D project using flowers. This is a perfect time for this challenge because all the spring time flowers are now in bloom. I used the Cardz TV stamp set "Think Spring". To purchase this stamp set, plus many others, click here. For my project I stamped the sentiment "Flower Power". I created a note pad cover for a junior legal pad with matching pen and added a little pocket inside. I heat embossed the sentiment onto an oval die cut on my Cricut Explore and backed it with a lacy oval die from Spellbinder. I love the colors in the patterned paper, they are so bright and cheery.

Happy Easter EOS Lip Balm Bunny

Hello everyone! I am just sharing a cute EOS Easter Bunny I made for an Easter gift. I stamped Happy Easter with the Cardz TV stamp set - Happy Days. The bunny design is by Lori Whitlock - EOS Lip Balm Bunny. I cut it out on my Cricut Explore. This is the first EOS cut file I've done and it was so easy. I love how it turned out. I will definitely make more using different designs for other occasions. They are so cute.

I hope you all have a very Happy Easter!!

Cardz TV Challenge # 6 Create a Home Decor Project for Spring

Hello everyone! Welcome back for the 3D Challenge #6 at Cardz TV! This week’s challenge is to create a Home Décor Project for Spring. For my project, I used the Cardz TV stamp set "Think Spring". After this freezing cold winter and numerous snow storms, I sure am ready for Spring! To purchase this stamp set, plus many others, click here. For my project I used the sentiment "Ladybug hugs and daisy kisses". That is such a cute sentiment and I love anything with ladybugs. I found an adorable SVG cut from Treasure Box Designs "Flower Baby". I thought this went perfectly with the "Think Spring" stamp set.
