Pez Candy Crafts

I love Pez Candy and Hello Kitty!

 

So does my my oldest daughter Rebekah! She is flying in from San Diego today. She attends college out there. We have missed her so much!!!

 

I made a fun Valentine's Day treat for her using The Cutting Cafe's Valentine's Day Air Mail Printable Set. I printed the tags onto kraft cardstock. This set features two different tag designs. You can print them in color or black & white.

Here's Hello Kitty all dressed up with one of the Valentine Tags Printables. This set features 8 tags and works with Stampin' Up's large tag punch.

I got the bird cage and Hello Kitty Pez set from Michael's Arts & Crafts store. I think I'm going to add some chocolate to this gift set too!

 I hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!

A 90's Inspired Thank You

Songs from 1990's are on my mind today!

I had so much fun watching the Grammy Awards last night. Hearing all of that great music made me think of all of my fave songs.

A song that I really love is one from 1998 by Dido. Remember her????? It's called "Thank You" . If you want to hear the song be sure to click "here" to view it on Youtube. It's a really beautiful and relaxing ballad that was popular way back then. Here are some of the lyrics...

And I want to thank you for giving me
The best day of my life
Ohh, just to be with you is having
The best day of my life

And since we are on the subject of songs...I'm entering this one over into the Cas-ual Fridays Challenge. I'm really having a whole lotta fun making CAS cards.

 

 

I used a birdie from 7 Gypsies and an SRM "Quick Card Thanks" sticker. I left a lot of white space on this one to really make the CAS design stand out more.

Now tell me...What is your fave song? And did you watch the Grammy's last night? I really loved Justin Timberlake's performance. I'm so glad to see him back in action!!!

It Took Me Less Than Five...

Happy Friday everyone!

I'm just driving by with a quick project that took me less than five minutes to make.

I made this "baby cupcake topper" and took it to the hospital on the day that "little miracle Tristan" was born.

He can't eat this just yet, so we all had fun munching on it for him.

I used the adorable SRM Stickers called: We've Got Your Invites - Baby Boy and We've Got Your Border. They were so perfect for this "yummy for your tummy" treat.

OK gotta go! I'm craving sweets now!

Here's my motto for the weekend...

Here's a sneak...

Seed Packets With a Twist

 

I just love The Cutting Cafe's Seed Packet Holders.  You can make them in many different ways too!!!

 

There are various seed packets templates/files in the set. You can make the plain one (like I did), one with a flower window, or one with a square window.

I call mine - "Seed Packets with a Twist" because I did not add the window. Instead I dressed the front of them up with paper and embellies.

 

This set also comes with 33 different sentiments as well. I printed the sentiments out on my handy dandy printer and adhered them to each packet. Here's a close up view of one of them.  

 

 

 

The photo below was taken in my classroom. I added a seed packet to my artificial plant. It really brightens it up and looks great by the window.

 

 

We are already enjoying springtime temperatures here in Texas. I am sooo loving the sunny weather! Be sure to visit The Cutting Cafe to see all of the fun products that are sure to get you in the mood for Spring!!!!

A Clean & Simple Hello!

 

Hello Monday!

 

Wasn't that an awesome Super Bowl last night? My fave part of the night was Beyonce's performance. That girl can work it! We were singing and dancing along with her. Fun times!!!

 

I have a fun card for ya today! I haven't made a CAS card in a while and got crafty this weekend and put one together. I'm playing along in Casual Friday's - Love Letters challenge.

 



The paper, tag, and button are from the American Crafts - 5th & Frolic collection. I also used two different butterfly punches as well. My fave part of my card is the fun lettering on the tag.

 

I must make more CAS cards soon. This was a lot of fun to create!

 

Supplies:

Paper, tag, button - A.C. 5th & Frolic

Kraft & white cardstock - Bazzill

Punches - Stampin' Up and Martha Stewart
