Handmade Candy Book

Hello! I am excited to share this project with you today….we are making Candy Books from cardstock! Remember those lifesaver books that made an appearance this time of year? Well, that’s kinda the idea with this project.

I have a video with ALL the details of how to make this, watch it here or in HD on YouTube:

For the front cover I created a book jacket with silver vellum (I love this stuff!). I heat embossed the stamp from “All I Want for Christmas” on the vellum and I really love how it turned out.

For the inside, I stamped in red and green using the Tough Nut to Crack stamp set.

On the spine, I added some details with stamps and glitter tape. I love the font of the scripty “Jingle all the way.”

For the back of the book, I wanted some interesting texture, so I used the Damask stamp to clear heat emboss a design.

I have a few other ideas for the book front cover, too. You could easily change out this book jacket cover for a stenciled front cover. Here’s my favorites from the newest Maker Forte release:

Stencil this one up in reds and greens for a festive look!
A pretty Poinsettia!
Make them all have red glittery noses…or just one!

I hope you enjoyed these projects today…these are definitely favorites of mine!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






I’ll be back soon with more projects and cards!

Stamping on Fabric

Hello! Today I’m sharing a favorite project of mine…stamping on Fabric! This is a set from Maker Forte, and I’m up on their blog with all the details…so check it out HERE.

But I will share photos and the video here on my blog so you can see just how fun this stamp set is. I’m making a no-sew project and THREE cards. Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I was so pleasantly surprised to find that my FAVORITE BLACK ink, (the one that works with Copic Coloring, Watercoloring, and stamping images & crisp sentiments) also works for STAMPING ON FABRIC!! Yay!

I show you in my video just how to do this for the best result.

I love the extra threads on the edge of this muslin..you can even pull more out if you wanted!

You can also easily make cards with this set, and of course I did that, too!







I hope you loved these projects today! I had so much fun creating these and can’t wait to make more of these holiday bags. 🙂
