Very Merry Toile Tidings

Welcome to my blog. I can’t believe it’s been a week since my last blog. Was very busy weekend and week . Since then I’ve found out the Moose punch is no longer available so I came up with the following cards that use punches still available. I used Toile Tidings DSP with the cat and dog punch.

Both cards are put together the same way but with different punches.
Materials and Directions:
1. Card base 8-1/2 x 11 very vanilla cardstock cut at 5-1/2 this gives you 2 card bases
2. Layering pieces. Shaded Spruce cardstock 4x 5-1/4 glue to front of card base.
      Toile Tidings DSP 3-3/4x 5 glue this on top of shaded spruce.
3. Using Large stitched nested label die cut a piece from very vanilla.
4. Using the punch punch out the object (dog or cat). I tied a bow out of red twine and put on the neck of the animal and a sequin in the middle. On the one I stamped sentiment next to image. For the other I die cut another piece of very vanilla using smaller stitched nested label die.
5. Inside the card I put Merry Christmas . You could also put birthday .
6. Sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set.

Merry Moose bundle/Paper Pumpkin

Welcome to my blog. Todays card I made for an upcoming card class at our local library this weekend. I wanted something simple for new crafters. I really like this bundle. Great for winter/holiday cards . Also can be used for birthdays, guy cards and woodsy cards. Just a nice year round set. You’ll find it on page 27 of the Holiday catalog.
Materials and Directions:
1. Card base is Whisper White 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
2. Layer piece is red  cut 4 x 5-1/4
3. Layer piece of DSP cut 3 x 4. I used a retired DSP but the wrapped in plaid DSP in the Holiday catalog would  work perfectly. I then punched out the moose from the right side. Save the moose for the tag.. Glue the DSP to the red cardstock. As in the photo.
4. Tag is Very Vanilla 2 x 3 then punched with the tag punch. Glue the moose to the tag and stamp the sentiment using Merry Merlot ink. I used some colored string to tie in the hole. Then glue this to the red cardstock as in the photo. Then glue this layered piece to the card front.

Paper Pumpkin:
Remember you have till the 10 th to get the November kit. It is gift tags. Materials to make 24. If you don’t want to make tags you can turn them into cards. All you need is cardstock. The coordinating colors needed are Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce.

Toile Tidings Christmas tree card/updates

Welcome to my blog. Hope you had a great weekend. My sister came to visit and had a a craft fair on Saturday. The craft fair was fun and I sold quite a lot. Therefore I needed to get busy today to make more for the upcoming craft fairs. With the Toile Tidings DSP I made some Christmas tree cards. I have a die that makes the card but on Pinterest there are patterns available. For the card base I used Mossy Meadow cardstock and the layer is from the Toile Tidings DSP.

Then I decided to make a gingerbread man card with a die I have. I used Early espresso for the card base, soft suede , whisper white for icing and face. I used Let it Snow Specialty DSP for the clothes.

Reminder. It’s a new month so we have a new host code. 92C74EAE. Use this for orders less than 150$. For orders more than 25$ I’ll send you the materials to make two cards.

Let it Snow Specialty DSP Lip Balm holder

Welcome to my blog. I’m behind in my crafting. Was suppose to come home from agility trial Sunday but the wind was so bad I did not leave till Monday. I didn’t want to drive home with the trailer in th gusty winds. I’m going to share some of the things Im making for the craft fairs using product from Stampin Up. This first item I saw in several YouTube videos and had to give it a try. It’s a lip balm holder.

To make this I made bookmarks using Red cardstock and Let it Snow DSP. I made the base using the red cardstock then cut a layering piece from the DSP. I used a die from My Favorite Things to make the lip balm holder space in the DSP. I also got the lip balm pouch from My Favorite Things. I then put the lip balm inside and glued to the base. You can find directions on YouTube for more info. You can buy the cardstock, DSP and the Real Red Curly Ribbon rom my website. Use the host code GEFVQAWH for orders less than 150$.
