Trendy Travel Postcard

 Two more months to go and I'll be off for the summer!

{that's just one of the perks of being a teacher}

 

Travel is on my mind and I've creative a fun gift bag using The Cutting Cafe's Postcard Printable set.

 

 

The printable set features two different postcards. The images are approx. 4 by 6 inches. It comes in both PDF and JPEG formats.

 

I've added a fun hot air balloon and "adventure" label from Pink Paislee's Daily Junque collection.

 

I adhered the postcard to a kraft bag and will fill it with fun souvenirs for friends once I come back from our summer vacation. You can also add them to a card or layout as well.

 

Be sure to visit The Cutting Cafe Store for more fun crafty goodies.

 

See ya back here tomorrow for a BRAND NEW project!

Spring Craft Room Decor

 

 I just LOVE creating home decor items.

This is my new craft room decor for Spring!

 

I'm entering this one into the Moxie Fab World's Spring Home Decor Challenge.

 

 

I'm also linking up to 30 Handmade Days

 

Here are some close-up shots:

 

 

 

The metal part of this piece is just so cool & crisp.

 

I really love the chalkboard part too.

 

The stitched fabric letters and paper are from the Heidi Grace - Cartwheel collection.

 

 

I used my Stampin' Up Elegant Butterfly punch too.

The top of the chalkboard area is decorated with Cloud 9 Designs fabric border.

This is my fave decorative piece this year. It really brightens up my craft area.

 

Happy Spring!

Yay for Yellow!

YELLOW IS MY FAVE COLOR!

It makes me happy!

It's so bright and cheery!

It's just so me!

Yep, I really do love this color. I love making cards, layouts, altered projects, and just about anything else in yellow.



Here's my latest card for a sweet little baby girl. I kept the design crisp, clean, and simple. I added some fun Dear Lizzy - Lucky Charm paper and a tag.  

I also used my die cutter to make the sentiment stand out more. The "baby love" wording is actually from SRM Stickers. I made the kraft butterflies with a Stampin' Up punch.



I used the sketch over at Cas(e) This Sketch!

And I found inspiration for my card over at the Runway Inspired Challenge.

Have a Happy Weekend!

A Yummy & Polka Dotted Springtime

  

I've got two new projects to show ya today!

First up is a sneak peek of a new PMB project. Earth Day is coming soon, so we are showing how crafters can recycle and make fun things all at the same time. 

 Be sure to hop on over to The Paper Made Bakery to see the full reveal.

Next up is a fun springtime project for The Cutting Cafe. This time I used the Tall Flower Shaped Card Set.

It comes with 3 different flower shaped cards and 10 sentiments. You can find all of the goodies in the CC Store. The polka dotted paper is from Dear Lizzy - Lucky Charm.



Are you enjoying springtime in your area yet?

We are in the 80's today! I'm so loving it!



Transform It Up Pretty!

Transformation! That's an interesting word that has been stuck in my vocabulary lately. I've been cleaning out my craft room and noticed a pile of lonely products that are just screaming to be transformed.

 

One such item was this one lonely piece of acrylic. It was leftover from an album that I made. It's not just any piece of acrylic either. It's from Clear Scraps!

 

This photo of my supplies served as my "mood board".

It really got my creative juices flowing to make my project.

 

 

The pretty paper and embellies are from Dear Lizzy - 5th & Frolic. I also used my handy dandy Stampin' Up punch to make the fluttering butterfly.



 

 

 The tag is one of my faves from the collection. And I just swoon every time I see this wood button. 

 

 

 

I will place this entire project into a frame and use it as decor for my craft room. Why spend money on decorative pieces when you have scrapbook supplies to use?

 

If you like using acrylic be sure to check out the goodies at Clear Scraps.

Starbucks all Wrapped in a Card

 

I hope you all had a Happy Easter! We hung out with family, cooked some great food, and ate our Easter eggs too. It was a day full of blessings for sure!

 

I've got something fun for ya! 

 

Most of you know that I love gifting with paper. Here's something fun that involves some yummy Starbucks!

 

I made a gift card holder!

 

I used the Lifestyle Crafts Pocket Envelopes Die and Echo Park's Sweet Girl Collection.

 

{The die is just the right size for a gift card too!}

 

 

 

 

 

And Lifestyle Crafts dies work in all of the leading die cutting machines including:

Big Shot

Epic 6

Cuttlebug

Vagabond, and more...

I hope you all enjoyed my fun little gifting project!

 

I'm on my way to Starbucks!
 

I'm sooo sleepy today . . . need more coffee!
