Gift Set and Agenda Base

I made gift sets for a charity organization to give to the three recipients of a full scholarship to our local state college.

 I made these post it holders using Abby's tutorial. I put matching paper inside the pens. The front scallop was cut by lacy circles spellbinders and then stamped with this sentiment. I found this stamp in the dollar stamp section and thought it was perfect for these sets.

 I made each person a corner bookmark with their initial on the front.

 These are the base for the agenda that the coordinator is going to print and tape to the red base.

I was excited to hear that the coordinator was happy with these sets.
I packaged these so beautifully and can not find the pictures of them all packet. I am so bummed. Oh well I guess. Thanks for stopping by!

Sew Many Fall Blog Hop

Welcome! Today is new release blog hop day for Sew Many. If you have not joined in on a challenge with us you should start with this one!Sew Many has the cutest digital stamps! I am showing you one in this wonderful set. Stop by the other DT blogs to see the rest.

Look at this image! I just love him. Stryder Pumpkin is a Sew Many image. I colored him with my Copics.

Closer view of this cute little guy. I decided to make Halloween bags this week so that I can give them to some of my students that don't have the means to purchase a trick or treat bag. I know they are just going to love these bags I made this week.

Isn't this ghost super cute. I love that I only had to add a little color with my Copics. I tried a new technique that I saw on a fellow crafters blog.

I cut circles out the scraps of decorate paper that I used on my banner. Then adhered them to the black cardstock then embossed it. It is an interesting way to make a background.

Sew Many Challenge # 66~Edge Punch

This weeks challenge at Sew Many is to use an edger punch. How simple is that. Most of us already use a edge punch so head over there and link up your projects to win some wonderful stamps.

I made this using a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial. The paper is from DCWV Celebration. The super cute image is Sew Many ~Bailey Birthday and was colored with Copics. I cut the bottom with a scallop punch, added a couple brads and there you have it.

Wedding Candy

 I made these for my cousins wedding shower. I cut the scallop from Lucy Labels and printed the words in Photoshop.

Easel Box Card

My mom's 60th birthday was last week and I made this for her. Glad to say that see really liked it.

I cut the top shapes with Lacy Labels. I stamped the candles and colored them with Copics.

I filled the box with snickers and put her gift certificate in there. I added a personal message on the top.

You can find the tutorial I followed at Maria's Stamping Station.
I posted this on Crafty Card Gallery as a guest designer last week. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bugaboo School Boy & Girl Card

I just love this stamp set I got from Bugaboo. I think it is so cute and versatile. Each piece is separate so you can have the boy or girl or ruler alone or put them all together. I colored them with Copics. I used some cute DCWV school paper and added some colorful brads to the corners.
I am going to give this to a coworker this school year.

Sew Many Challenge # 65 ~Summertime

Sew Many is having a summertime challenge. Head on over there and link up your projects!

Isn't this image super cute. Its called safe travels and I think it is the perfect image to wrap up summer for me. It makes me think of the last road trip before heading back to school. Anyways this is a Sew Many image and I colored it with my copics. The paper is DCWV Summer pack. I punched the corner of the card and added a few tiny brads. The rest is pretty simple. I liked the combo of the image and paper.
Well head over to Sew Many and link up your summer projects.

Sew Many Friday Freebie~Birthday Cupcake

I love love love this freebie! You can pick it up at Sew Many this Friday for free. I think it is a must have.

I used shimmer background paper and embossed a smaller paper for the middle. The sentiment is a dollar stamp I have had for a long time. The super cute cupcakes are Sew Many and colored with copics then decorated with Stickles, I love this card.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to grab this cute freebie tomorrow on Sew Many.

Corner Bookmarks

I saw this tutorial and I had to try to make this corner bookmark. I love how they look and how easy they are to make.
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/cornerbookmark/

 Here is the first one I made. I actually love how it came out. I followed the folding directions and added some ribbon and buttons. I border punched the bottom to make it a bit fancier. I cut the scallop square out using my Cricut and added the flower.

These two I made for a couple of wonderful ladies at my husbands work.

I followed the instructions again. I cut the gold circle with my Spellbinders. I cut the letter using Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge. I used my Xyron sticker maker to adhere the S to the circle. I used my Xyron Creative Station to adhere the circle. These sticker makers make projects so much faster and adhere great!

Here is how I packaged them.

I made a bunch of school ones as well in my last weeks posts. I will have a lot more of these in the future. I am thinking of making them as a Xmas present.
