Handmade Candy Book

By on November 15, 2021 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

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!

Cotton Candy and Coffee

Hello! Today I’m up on the Maker Forte blog sharing a classic combination: Cotton Candy and Coffee. What? That’s not a classic combination?! Well, I hope you enjoy these cards anyway! Be sure to visit the blog HERE for all the details!






		
		
			
			
		
	





This is a brand new Cotton Candy set and It’s so fun! It also has a stamp for “Candy Floss” and “Fairy Floss” if you call it that instead. 






		
		
			
			
		
	





I colored this up with copics and added a shadow beneath the large cotton candy treats!






		
		
			
			
		
	





These new sets are so dreamy, and if you like coffee, you might need them! There’s a lot of cute sentiments and “foam” you can stamp on top. Here’s another card made with the You Are Brew-tiful stamp set:






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I added some of my favorite colors to make this one pop. Hope you enjoyed!

Stamp & Stencil: Mingling Mingos
By  on June 23, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! I’m here and delighted to share with you the new Stamp & Stencil set from Maker Forte called “Mingling ‘Mingos.” This could very well be my favorite stamp & stencil yet!





I have a short video sharing four ways to use this set, with different techniques to try! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













I hope you enjoy! Here’s a quick share of each card:






		
		
			
			
		
	





First up: my only BLUE card with white pigment ink clouds. I love this look, even though more traditional is the pink flamingo!






		
		
			
			
		
	





Card 2: Stamp with Hot Pink ink! Here I used the Rah Rah Skirt neon ink from Maker Forte, which makes for a brilliant flamingo! I inked on a dusk background for this one and added some Rhubarb Rhipple gems.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Card 3: Glitter Embossing Powder





For this one, I stamped a more coral-colored flamingo then added some glitter embossing powder to make it really sparkle!






		
		
			
			
		
	





Card 4: Stencil on Stencil





I love this technique, and I also love how this card turned out!

I hope this inspired you to try some of these techniques! And if you haven’t picked up this flamingo stamp & stencil set yet…hurry on over before it sells out! See you soon!
