Heart Top Treat Box

H1! It will be Valentine's Day before we know it, so I made this cute little Heart Top Treat Box.

I used Heart Top Treat Boxes & Tags from My Scrap Chick for my box. I also used an older image from Magnolia and a scalloped oval from Cricut.

The main part of my box is 5 3/8 inches tall (excluding the heart closure at the top). I cut the box from cardstock included in the "Uptown Flair Glitter Stack" from the paper studio. I used glitter cardstock from Recollections for the mats and hearts at the closure.

I used a second smaller heart print from the same stack for the band around the box, then added a band of green gems. I added three mats in graduated sizes from 4 1/2 inches to 4 inches.

 Four hearts were cut from pink glitter cardstock and added to the closure flaps at the top.

 The image was uploaded to Design Space and printed out at 3 1/2 inches. She was colored with Prismacolor Pencils. I used a sewing needle and a double strand of pink thread to add a string to her heart banner. She was added to the mats with foam tape. Two little paper flowers were added at her feet.

I love this sweet little box!

Tea Time

Hi! I find a good cup of tea so relaxing on a cold January day, don't you?

I made this sweet little easel card using Teapot Card and Envelope and an oval easel card base from Easel Card Collection. Both files are from My Scrap Chick.

                                                                       

                                                         

The image is from Magnolia and was colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

I made the card from Cardstock from the Samantha Rose Stack from DCWV along with some scraps from my paper stash. I omitted the card layer of the file, and attached the teapot to the easel card base, I attached the image and the sentiment with foam tape, then added paper flowers, a tiny butterfly, and an aqua bow as accents.

You can turn any shape into an easel card by attaching it to an easel card base from My Scrap Chick. Give it a try. I have to admit that I have a special fondness for easel cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!

RDS Skating Shape Card

When I was growing up January always meant skating at the local outdoor skating rink.

I used Rag Doll Sweetheart Skating from Little Blue Button Stamps and a skate image from Cricut for my shape card. I welded two five inch bottom layers of the skate together, back-to-back.

You can find the file in Design Space here:
https://design.cricut.com/#/design/121204224
If you do not already own this skate file it will cost you $.99.

 I laced the skate with 3/8 inch aqua ribbon and tied it at the top. I added snowflake stickers and gems onto the card.

I printed the image at 4.5 inches and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils. After I fussy cut her out leaving a small margin of white, I added her to the card with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Winter!

3d Poinsettia Ornaments

Hi! I've been busy making these beautiful 3 d poinsettia ornaments.

I used three files from My Scrap Chick for this project.

Poinsettia Blooms 3 D

Scalloped Oval Tag Layers

Botanical Leaves

Materials

Silver and white glitter cardstock

Rose red, green and light green, and light grey cardstock

white ivy embossed cardstock

3/8 inch wide poinsettia ribbon

light green seed beads

glue and adhesives

Adhesives used

I made the Scalloped Oval Tag Layers 4.5 inches tall. I omitted the smallest layer. The bottom layer is silver glitter cardstock, the second layer is light gray cardstock, the third layer is white glitter cardstock and the top layer is embossed vine white cardstock. I inked all the edges in gray. I put the layers together using foam tape between the top two layers and the bottom two layers. I glued the other two layers together.

Watch the video to see how the flowers are put together.

I used a pick to make a line on the back of the flower pieces which made the creasing of the petals easier. I curled the tips of the petals like I would to curl ribbon.

 I used foam squares between the layers instead of wire and glue. I used a single layer of foam squares between the layers of the flower and a double layer of foam squares between the layers of leaves.

I added a generous dollop of glue to the middle of the yellow flower centers and added about 6 light green seed beads.

I cut an 8 inch piece of 3/8 inch wide poinsettia print ribbon, folded it in half and tucked the ends between the bottom two layers at the top of the oval layers. This was held in place with glue dots and liquid glue. I then made and attached a small bow made with the same ribbon.

I love how these turned out! They look so much better in person. 

Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to hear what you think. 

Merry Christmas!

Caroling Kids Easel Card

Hi! There is still time to get those last minute Christmas cards made. Today I'm sharing an easel card made with the sweet image,  Caroling Kids .

My easel card was made using a card base from Bird's Cards.

I colored the "Caroling Kids " using Prismacolor Pencils and added a light-post paper piecing behind the image.

 The large snowflake was cut from pearlescent and glitter cardstock. The sentiment, from Cricut, was added to a snowflake and pearls and glitter snowflake stickers were added as a final touch.

Thank you for looking! Have a great crafty day!

Merry Christmas!

Miss Lilly and the Snowman

Hi! It's snowman making time where I live. I made a cute little Christmas card using the very cute  Miss Lilly and the Snowman. 

Miss Lilly is busy trying to finish her snowman before the sun goes down. You can see her through the paned window of my card. There is a cheerful evergreen swag below the window.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added some glitter cardstock snow and a sentiment.

I added another evergreen sway to the inside along with a Christmas sentiment.

Thanks for looking!

Have a great crafty day!

Christmas Fairy House Impossible Card

Today is New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps.

I used Christmas Fairy House for my impossible card. 

I made my card design in Design Space. You can find the file here:

If you do not use Design Space, or you want to see how this goes together, you can find a tutorial here:

http://stampingbella.com/blog/dt-thursday-create-a-fairy-house-impossible-card-with-sandiebella/

I used Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to color my image. I also used their clear glitter pen on the snow. I added sequins for the ornaments on the fairy house. I added the image and round mats to the card with foam tape.

I added sentiments from Digital Delights between the open spaces between the flaps. This will create more stability in the card. I also added a pine branch (file from Cuddly Cute Designs) to each sentiment. 

I love the impossible card design! It looks so complicated, but is really very easy.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
