Hello Friends! How cute are these? Our Spooktacular National Stamping Month CTMH Special is so stinkin' cute! These adorable stamps, papers, and thin cuts are perfect for creating layouts, cards, tags, and these cute treat holders I created!  I have created the instructions for you here, so you can make your own! :) Instructions : Cut your white daisy cardstock to 3 1/2" x 7". Fold in half and score with bone folder. Cut a piece of colored cardstock 3 1/4" x 3 1/4". Glue this to the front of your treat holder. Cut a piece of Spooktacular B&T paper at 3"x 3". Glue to the colored cardstock. Punch a hole (I used a hand hole punch) through all paper layers. Thread ribbon through both holes on the front and back of treat holder and tie a bow in the front. Use thin cuts to cut out your animal and color with markers. Adhere your animal to the front with 3-D thin foam tape. Add black or white dots to the top left or ...

Happy May! This has been a very eventful May for my family so far! I am excited to announce that my daughter had her baby on May 1st! It's a BOY!!! He has brought so much love and joy to our family! We couldn't be more thrilled!! My husband and I are officially grandparents! We already love this new adventure of becoming new grandparents for the first time! He is so sweet and we are loving every minute we get to snuggle with our new grandson!   Here's a fun card I created using the masking technique! I love this technique! I cut a strip of paper with my paper trimmer and placed it over the card center and stamped the balloons over the top of the paper. This creates a space to stamp "Celebrate". Love this! I then colored the balloons with watercolor pencils.  Here is the supply list: S1905 To My Bestie May SOTM $18.95 or $5 with a $50 order!

Hello Crafty Friends! It great to be back! I had heart surgery in February and I've been recovering. But enjoyed a nice break with my hubby in March celebrating our anniversary on a cruise in Mexico! I am slowly coming back and started designing and paper crafting again earlier this month! Yay!! :) I just wanted to share my card I created using the April SOTM. I used the So Much Happy paper to create my card! I love these beautiful bright colors in this paper collection! I colored the flower by stamping it in lemon ink and sponging the center. The technique is called masking. I stamped the flower on a separate piece of paper, cut the center of the flower out, placed it over the center of the flower on another stamped flower and sponged right in the center to add a nice shadow. I did this on the leaves as well. Cut the leaves out and sponge edges. Love this technique! Shopping list: X7241B So Much Happy paper packet April SOTM Love So Sweet  Z4191 Silv...

I designed two cards, one treat holder, one treat bag, and one gift tag. These are even cuter in person! Love the cute bunny and matching sentiments in this stamp set!  I've used a selection of thin cuts; decorative borders, stitched circles, and fancy tags! These add such cuteness to these projects!
