Flower Fairy picks….

I admit – I’m a total pushover for flowers.  I buy them everywhere, even the fruit market (they have great deals!).  And of course I love to get them as gifts.

I got these two potted begonias at the fruit market and thought I might give them as a little gift to friends for Mother’s day.  [...]

Fiesta Flower Gift Box

I hope you can stand one more Fiesta Flower project. 
 
This is the original idea I had in mind when I saw the stamp.  I wanted to use it to make an embellishment for boxes by layering the image.  Its very easy, but you have to like cutting things out!
I just embossed Fiesta Flower with Zing white embossing [...]

Clear Treat Box

I use the clear card boxes all the time to hold… well… cards….
But I love the sturdiness of the plastic.  Its heavier than typical acetate sheets so I wanted to try using one to create a treat box.   This was pretty quick and easy, and ended up pretty sturdy once the base was glued on.

So [...]

A Vellum Treat Bag for Mrs. Claus

I love this cute Mr. And Mrs Claus  stamp – and I thought Mr. Claus might like to give Mrs. Claus a little bag of kisses.   These mint kisses are really good (had to try one – how can I write an informative post without taste testing?).  And I love the little snowflake-y wrappers.

This post [...]

Vellum Candle Cover

I love candles during the holidays.  They do so much to set a more relaxed mood.  This is a very quick and easy project to add a Holiday touch to  plain tea light candle holders.

For this project, I used heavy weight vellum cover stock.   Its much stiffer and heavier than the vellum you might be [...]

A Sleigh Ride Slider Tutorial

Its starting to get a little chilly here (especially in the mornings) – and I’ve had this card in my head ever since I got this wicked cute sleigh ride stamp.  So I thought I’d make it up and share a tutorial.
The card front looks like this:

When you pull the slider out of the card [...]

A “Mice” little treat bag

I made this simple little Halloween treat using some Oreos I found in the grocery store.  I don’t know how they will taste – but the Halloweenie colors are great!
I used the House Mouse Halloween clear set for all the stamps.  I’m really enjoying this set – there are so many stamps in it!
The bag [...]
