I hope you're not tired of my birthday cards...lol, I'm in the process of building my birthday card stash!!

I used CTMH-Honeycomb stamp set to stamp out my images with colors  Lagoon, Slate, and Honey. I than stamped my Happy Birthday sentiment with VersaMark and used Ranger White Embossing Powder to emboss it on vellum.  Finally, I took some brads to hold my sentiment piece in place.

Here is my take on this wonderful sketch...

I stamped my image on a doily using CTMH-You Mean the World to Me stamp set with some VersaMark and Silver embossing powder.  I than layered my doily on top of CTMH Paper Fundamentals Adventure Assortment Cardstock and added a small trim of silver to the left side. To finish off my card I used Watercolor Hearts Flair and some silver sequins from the Winter Sequins Mix.

Super easy and fun card! Thanks for stopping by, next up is Julia!

Happy Birthday Card

Hi!

Today I have a very easy masculine birthday card! This card literally took 10 minutes to make...how awesome is that?!?!

Here it is...

I stamped my sentiment with VersaMark using the CTMH-Joyful Birthday stamp set and embossed it with Ranger Super White Powder. I then took some distress ink and just inked around my sentiment. To finish the card, I added some fun star sequins from TCP (when you order flair from TCP, you get a nice surprise of fun sequins packed with your order).

Don't forget to stop by TCP etsy shop and pick you some goodies and also stop by TCP blog on Monday for a fun blog hop and giveaway!!

Personalized Lollipop Treats *Giveaway*

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

Today I am sharing some fun treats! These will be great for classmates, students, and even coworkers. I received some personalized flair with the names of my kids from TCP etsy shop and used them to personalized some treats for Valentines.

Here are the steps:

• Start with a 3 1/2 x 4 piece of White Daisy cardstock
• On the 3 1/2 inch side score at 1/2 and 3
• Rotate clockwise and on the 4 inch side score at 7/8
• After you have scored everything place your piece of cardstock where the 3 1/2 inch side is horizontal and the 4 inch side is vertical.
• There will be two rectangles at the bottom left and right corner, take some scissors and remove those two sections.
• I took my corner rounder and rounded the top corners and the bottom corner (the part that will fold up)

I took a background stamp and stamped the image to create my background and took the little heart from the CTMH Countdown stamp set to add in random places. I punched (2) 1 3/8 circles from some Cranberry and Cotton Candy cardstock, (2) 1 1/4 circles from White Daisy cardstock and stamped an image using the CTMH Perfect Fit- Dad stamp set with some Cranberry and Cotton Candy Ink onto the White Daisy circles.

I layered them and added my beautiful personalized flair. Finishing them off by cutting some gold pieces of cardstock into banners and a cherry lollipop!

I hope you enjoyed today's mini project. Thanks for stopping by!

Mini Lunch Box Notes "Giveaway Alert"

Hi, today I'm sharing a quick and easy little project.

I came across this cute stamp set in the CTMH Seasonal Expressions Catalog. I know there are tons of little critters/cute monster stamps out there, but I just loved this one and for only $9.95, I had to get them!

Aren't they cute?!?! I made 3x3 notecards, perfect for those lunch box notes and even for Valentines mini cards. My son doesn't start school until fall, but when he saw me making these he asked me if they were for him, lol, so I definitely know the kids will love them. I glued some googly eyes on them to make them a bit more fun.

That's all for today, thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Treats #1 (My First Giveaway)

Hi and thanks for stopping by!

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought that it would be a great idea to get a head start and share with you some fun and inexpensive treat gift ideas. I'm turning this into a mini series, so stay tuned for some fun and cute ideas!

Here is my creation...

I cut these adorable pillow boxes using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge out of transparency sheets (image on pg 28) at 5 inches. I scored all the areas that needed to be scored and placed scor tape to close my box. I also used the CTMH Artiste and CTMH Artbooking Cartridges to cut my labels. I used the coordinating stamp set that came with the Artbooking collection for the base of my labels and Holiday Tags Occasions stamp set for the center and sentiments.

Finally, I filled them up with Hershey Chocolate Kisses and wrapped then tied some ribbon to secure the pillow box closed. I used a glue dot to place my labels on the treats, finishing them off with some bling.

I hope you enjoyed today's post and as I stated, I'm having my first giveaway! I'm super stoked with having a little over 40 likes on my FB page, so thank you to everyone that has liked my page and to those special crafters who follow me on my blog!
