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!

It’s Pumpkin Time!

Hello, I am so happy that it’s pumpkin time…I have a pumpkin patch card to share with you today. I’m using some new stencils from Miss Ink Stamps with some of my favorite stamp sets!





Watch the short video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I have an ALL-TIME favorite pumpkin dessert that is only available this time of year. It is from Vito’s Italian Restaurant and is called Pumpkin Crunch Cake. It is so so good! I’ve tried to re-create it several times with no luck. So I just have to settle for eating it while it’s available this month only! I couldn’t stop thinking about it while creating this card.





For the background, I added some glitter gel (I love a bit of glitter on my card!) I share all the details in the video!

Stamping on Fabric
By  on October 20, 2021  in Uncategorized   

	

	    

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. 🙂

Heffy Friends Inspiration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Heffy Friends Inspiration Blog Hop!  For today’s special Blog Hop, you can win a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store! (See details at the end of this post to see how you can win!)





Today I have THREE cards to share with you using some of my favorite new products from Heffy Doodle.





CARD ONE: You are LLamazing!






		
		
			
			
		
	





This card was a blast to make with the new ARIZONA stencil! I love that stencil so much…you can change it around to get the look you want to make cactus and 2 styles of mountains! I also colored up those llamas using my favorite “curly hair” technique.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube to find out how easy it is!














		
		
			
			
		
	





I love those happy llamas!





CARD 2: Alpaca my bags






		
		
			
			
		
	





For this card, I used the llamas again with more of a “traveling” theme. Those little suitcases are the cutest! I used the Fiesta stencil to ink up three colors of cardstock, then cut them at an angle and used one of each color to create the background. (this technique is also shown in my video!)





The sentiment is perfect for this card, don’t you think? For these “alpacas” I colored them up using more of a dot technique, rather than the curly hair technique.

CARD 3: Mole Lotta Love





This last card features an easy interactive mechanism made with the mini double slider die from Heffy Doodle. I couldn’t resist these little moles (which are currently a gift with purchase)






		
		
			
			
		
	
Card closed…what is lurking behind that grassy hill?






		
		
			
			
		
	
Card opened to reveal the mole with a rose!





I was inspired by some Halloween colors for this one (and my fingernails…LOL!)…and made it with dark purples, greens and blacks. To see how easy that interactive die is to put together on your card, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













I can just imagine all the possibilities for this die!
