Merry Moose/September Paper Pumpkin

Welcome to my blog. Hope you had a great weekend. I worked on finishing up some craft fair projects and prepping for an upcoming class. I got a little time to try out the new Merry Moose Punch that will be available September 4 in the new Holiday catalog.  I decided to make a fall card . I also used Rooted in Nature stamp and die set , sentiment from Country Home Stamp Set, Perennial Essence DSP  and Crumb Cake cardstock for the card base. This punch along with the coordinating stamp set is going to be fun. I will post more with this set .

2. 2 pieces of DSP 4-1/4 x 3-1/4
3.  Glue your DSP to both the card base and the smaller piece of cardstock. On the smaller one also glue your calendar. Then use strong adhesive ( score tape) to glue this to the base.
4. Glue post it note to base as in photo.

New Host Code for the month is NMXFRXPD. Use this for orders less than 150$.

Come Sail Away DSP pencil holder

 Welcome to my blog. Had fun at the agility trial even though it was very hot. Learned more about my trailer and with help from you tube how to properly work the air conditioner. It was so hot I had my 2 dogs and my friends 3 in the trailer ( us too!). Today I worked on pencil holders for upcoming craft fairs. I found this on you tube awhile ago but can’t remember who posted it.


Materials and Directions for the pencil holder:
1. The original directions used cardstock that had been stamped on. I used Come Sail Away DSP cut@ 10-3/4 x 1-1/2. You can get 8 from a 12 x 12 piece of paper.
Score @ 6, 6-1/4  then fold





2. I used some score tape inside to hold the pencils. Then I tied with ribbon(12 inches)


Happy Crafting. You can buy supplies from my website.

Over the Moon treat bags/ Paper Pumpkin

Welcome to my blog. Been busy getting ready to go camping this weeks. Well really it’s an Agility trial that we’re (my dogs and I) are going to camp over night at. The trial is in the evening when it’s cooler and I don’t like driving in the dark so we’re camping overnight.
I did have time to make some treat bags for upcoming craft fairs. I found these Cow Tails candies that I thought would go well with Over the Moon stamp set in the Annual catalog. I came up with this:
Materials and Directions:
I used a treat bag die I have to make the bags out of cardstock. Stampin Up has some you can buy that are copper dotted. I used the Magnolia Lane DSP to make a border on the bottom.

Paper Pumpkin:
You have till August 10th, to order the next Paper Pumpkin Kit. Also there is an add on kit you can get while supplies last. The add on kit is a card kit to use with the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Piece of Cake Pocket Card



Welcome to my blog. This card we’ll be making in my next class. I got the idea from Karen Titus from stamping on my back porch.It can also hold a gift card or money. Piece of Cake is a returning stamp and punch available in the Annual catalog.
Materials and Directions :
1.Card base is a piece of colored cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/4 score @ 2,and @ 5-3/4 fold and glue the seams.
2. Pull out piece- cardstock 6-1/4 x 3-1/2 score@ 1-1/2 round the corners. On the flap I used a piece of DSP 3-1/4 x 1-1/4. Round the corners and glue to the cardstock. Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4-1/2 x3-1/4. Glue this to the cardstock. Decorate how you want and add a sentiment you want.
3. Front decoration- I used layering oval dies . The smaller in Whisper White stamp and color the image. I used dimensionals to layer on top of the colored oval. Then I used dimensionals to pop up the whole thing. It also keeps the flap down.
If you have time I encourage you to take some of Karen Titus’s classes (stamping on the back porch) .
She teaches different skills in a fun and informative way.
Happy Crafting!
