Paper Bag Cards

Bags Bags Bags!  I seem to have a lot of bags, and love coming up with something fun to do with them.  Today I have a FREE tutorial for you on how to create cards with paper bags!
**Download your tutorial here

I have also made up a limited number of kits to create this stunning presentation Birthday Card from the wonderful Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge.  There are over 35 pieces to this kit!!

I did a video to show you how this goes together, but had camera issues (you know those techie gremlins were here again!!) but, I think you will get the gist of it... We will also be doing this project in my UStream TV show tonight.... in a few different sizes!  Come check us out.... just click on the blue icon in the upper right corner and it will take you right to the channel.  8:00 pm eastern time...

 The Stunning Butterfly Birthday Card Kit is $12.95 SHIPPED (which includes 7 additional bags for your creating pleasures!!) If you want more bags, you can get 8 bags for $1.00, and up to 24 bags will fit in the original order with no additional postage. If you want more bags, please email me, and I will happily invoice you.

Additional Bags to be included with original Kit orders: 8/$1.00 (up to 2 orders) Any more than that requires additional shipping.

Enjoy the projects! Happy crafting ~

"Tops" for Christmas Projects and a Sneak Peek!

It is Tutorial Tuesday at Digital Delights, and it is my turn to create something fun with Wendy's adorable images.  This week I have four of her precious "Toppers" which you frequently see on the top of candy bags ... so cute... but this time I have them doing other fun things!

Here we have Mr. Snowman as the bearer of happy tidings with a choice gift card from every kids's favorite place, Wal-Mart! 

And now we have Peeking Santa looking out from his perch, checking to see who is Naughty and Nice!  His smile tells me you are all on his "Nice" list!

Here is a video showing friends, Moosey and Elf, and there are quite a few images available more in the STORE.   The video will show how to make gift card pockets to slip into the stockings, as well as a complete photo tutorial on how to make a "Meandering" Mini-Album from just one double sided sheet of 12x12 cardstock.  I hope you enjoy it!

Don't forget about "Something Yummy For Your Tummy" on my UStream Channel tonight at 8:00 eastern time!  We will be creating FIVE projects, plus Mrs. Claus's Cookies (for real!!)

Sneak Peek of tonight's class!  See you there :)

Happy crafting ~

Welcome Home Cards

I've done a couple of gift card holders for my friend Krissy, who is a Real Estate Agent. I've been checking out the different houses on the cartridges that I have. The top is from Christmas Cheer, and the little one on the bottom is My Community. The keys are from DS. Thanks to Dawn Griffith for the tutorial on how to make the gift card holder inside :-)

Gift Card Holder

This card works really well! Paper is DCWV, stamp is from M's, removed from the wooden block, and the words are cut apart. The "for you" is hand written. This is an A2 size card.
