Sunflower Greetings Card Set

Today I am sharing a sweet Sunflower Greeting Card Set which would make a great Thanksgiving Hostess Gift or just a gift for someone you appreciate.

I made this set using Sunflower Greetings from My Scrap Chick. 

The pattern includes patterns for a card, a tag and tag pocket, plus the gift box. I made two cards and two tags, but the box could easily hold three of each.

I used Beach House 

double sided paper by COLORBOK for my project. Double sided paper works best for the box and tag holder so the pattern will show on the inside.

I cut a second mat from the card and tag (blue layer on the tag and orange layer on the card) from white. These were added to the inside of the card and the back of the tag so a message can be added.

I love this set! It's so easy to put together and looks great. Why not make a set for someone you are thankful for.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great crafty day!

It's Pumpkin Time

HI!

It's pumpkin time!

Today I am sharing a pair of pumpkin boxes made with the My Scrap Chick file Fall Pumpkin Box.

Materials

Fall Pumpkin Box file by My Scrap Chick

Patterned cardstock from "Old World Stack" by DCWV

brown cardstock by recollections

green lanyard

green and orange twine from Dollar Tree

dark orange leaf ribbon from Dollar Tree

Glue Dots and glue

The pumpkins go together quickly and easily.  I enlarged them to about 6 inches tall. I inked all the edges with orange ink. I added the dark orange leaf ribbon to the bottom edge of the top half of the pumpkin using a combination of glue and small glue dots.

For the top of the pumpkin, I first attached the stem using glue and a large glue dot. Then I inked and shaped the leaves, and glued them down around the stem. I tied a bow around the stem using about a foot each of orange and green twine. The last step was adding the vines.  These were made from green lanyard.

I wrapped the lanyard snugly around a pen and taped the end in place. I then left it in front of a heat source for a few minutes. (I put mine in front of a portable heater.) After it cooled, I unwrapped it and cut it into lengths about 4 to 5 inches long. Using small glue dots, I attached one end behind the stem.

And then this is the finished Fall Pumpkin Box! These will be used for Halloween treat boxes for my granddaughters.

These were so quick and easy to make!

Happy crafting!

Native American Dream Catcher

Hi my crafty friends!

Today I am sharing a little dream catcher featuring the image, "Mixed Media Native American digi stamp" by Little Blue Button Stamps, which you can find here:  http://lbbstamps.com/product/mix-media-native-american-digi-stamp/

I started with two circles 5.5 inches and 7.5 inches in diameter. (I cut mine from a Ziploc lid and a frozen dinner tray.)

Using Canon Americana yarn, I single crocheted around each hoop keeping the stitches close together and straight across the top.

I then sewed the two hoops together, as shown, being careful to maintain an equal distance between the hoops, all the way around. The stitches are about one inch apart.

I printed the image on a 5 .5 inch circle using design space and my Cricut Maker. I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils then glued the circle to the back of the smaller circle. 

I cut eight sets of three strands of yarn, cut 15 inches long and folded in half. I attached these groups to the back of the bottom of the larger hoop using bolin knots. Then I braided each group and tied the ends with an overhand knot. Finally, I added paper feathers and beads to the sides and bottom of the larger hoop. The feathers were taken from a free dream catcher svg from Caluya Design. It can be found here:

I hope you liked my dream catcher.

Now for my projects!!!

I made an easel card goody box and a tag treat holder using Rag Doll Sweetheart Fall Joy. I created both projects using my Cricut Maker and Design Space.

The easel card goody box combines a 5 1/2 inch easel card with a same size box with a drawer. This is how the project looks in design space. You can find it in design space here: Easel Card Box

I colored my images with Prismacolor Pencils. All the paper piecing accents are from My Scrap Chick. The cardstock is from Bazill and Stampin Up, the prints are from DCWV and The Story of Fall by Echo Park.

The Tag Treat Holder was created in Design Space.

What's Going On?

Today is New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps and I used the adorable What's Going On?  digi stamp for my card. Since my granddaughter is kitty crazy, this stamp was especially fun for me to color.

I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils.

The standard A2 card base was made from light teal cardstock and the pumpkin colored mat and tag were cut from pumpkin cardstock. A wavy corner accent piece from Cricut was cut from kitty themed paper and added to the upper left. 

I used the image title for my sentiment since I thought it was appropriate. I used design space to write it on the tag. I added two small holes to the top of the tag and tied it with light teal embroidery thread. The tag was attached with glue dots.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!
