You are my favorite


Hi folks! It's Ann again for another Friday post.  Do you have all your holiday shopping done?  I hope so or else you'll be fighting the crowds during the last minute shopping madness :)

Today is another full reveal of an easel card that I created for the December "Times and Seasons" Kit of the Month which is Shop Pumpkin Spice now for only $24.95.  The kit also comes with an exclusive instructions sheet for all my projects in the kit.

All of the paper used on this card either came from the Echo Park Times and Seasons 12x12 Journaling Cards paper or the Times and Seasons 6x6 paper pad.  The little stickers are from the Times and Seasons Elements Stickers, brads are from the Happy Days Brad Assortment, and the seam ribbon can be bought as part of the Crinkle Ribbon pack.  I also used a 
Spellbinders Scalloped Circle die for the circle behind the sentiment. Again, all these supplies are all available in the "Times and Seasons" Kit along with detailed instructions.





All supplies can be found in the "Times and Seasons" Kit

Love You a Latte, My Mind's Eye!

  Hi, this is June Houck with your Thursday ShopPumpkinSpice inspiration.  

  I created this card from My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found Christmas" collection.  I embossed the damask paper with my D'Vine Swirls embossing folder, then lightly sanded to make the swirls "pop."  I popped up the heart and added red Stickles around the border to mimic the red glitter striped MME paper behind it.  I then added glossy accents to "cafe" for added dimension.  Finally I added the Maraschino twine.  I placed the gift card on the shape, then cut thin strips of foam tape around it to form a pocket.  I adhered my top...voila :)

  My twin daughters' fourth grade teacher loves Starbucks coffee, so I wanted to create a special gift card holder for her.

Supplies:
Cricut cartridge:  Cricut Lite "Love You a Latte" cut @ 7 1/4"
paper:  My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found ChristmasBoughs paperTinsel paperHolly paper, and Trees paper
embossing folder:  Cuttlebug "D'Vine Swirls"
twine:  The Twinery "Maraschino"
Other: red stickles and glossy accents

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you are enjoying time with your families.

Hello Friends, Thanks you so much for taking the time to check out my posting today.  I hope you got a 'smile' out of something you saw or got some inspiration to go do something crafty.

Meet Mr. Snowman

Hello Friends, Thanks you so much for taking the time to check out my posting today.  I hope you got a 'smile' out of something you saw or got some inspiration to go do something crafty. 
Hi Crafters! It's Lenae here from SugarGem for you Tuesday inspiration!  I played with the Echo Park Holly Jolly Collection and the My Minds Eye Lush 2 collection again. I love the two collections together! It really turned out cheery and a bit retro!

My little Twine pom pom must be one of the tiniest pom poms ever! My mom was with me while I was making it and she kept saying "I don't think that is going to work, I don't think that is going to work" Well....... it worked! And I love that little pom pom.! I used Maraschino Twinery Twine!
Thank you for stopping by!

If I can inspire just one person today I have done my job!
XOXO SugarGem

Mini Christmas Treat Bags

Good Monday everyone. This is Carissa with another Christmas creation.

I made these mini Christmas treat bags for my son's two preschool teachers. I used the purse cut on the Tags Bags Boxes and More Cricut cartridge. A few embellishments and they were ready to go. I filled the inside with tiny chocolate candies and a handmade beaded bracelet.


Coordinating chipboard pieces make a project go so fast. And the results are beautiful.
When I buy a paper pack I like, I make sure to buy the matching chipboard pieces.
I always find a use for them!

The back side of the treat bag. They are so cute when they jingle!

All addressed and ready to go.
