Chocolate

Everything is better with chocolate! Yes, indeed! So how about gifting a little of the rich creamy stuff to a friend, neighbor, teacher or your sweetie? Or me! Ha! 

My little gift tag was created with the Banner Parade die set and because I can't stop with a simple tag, I cut a few more smaller pieces to make a tiny banner across the top using Journey Foam Squares for each layer for dimension. 

Another way I dressed up this adorable little paint bucket was to create a layered flower for the lid. Again I used multiple die cuts and foam squares to make it dimensional. 

Yum! Wish technology allowed me to give all my readers a piece of chocolate! Now wouldn't that be something!?!?!

HSN Craft Day

Did you see HSN's 24-hour craft day last Monday? Anna Griffin debuted her adorable new card kit called Playful Pieces that includes lots and lots of colorful animals and accents to create cards for the kids in our lives. Here are a few projects I created with the kit including a scrapbook page that utilizes two more of Anna's products, the Perfect Palette Card Making Kit and Grand Duet Embossing Folders. 

Aren't these critters from the Playful Pieces kit the most adorable?!?! 

Next up is another page I created using the Grand Duet Embossing Folders. The details made these folders is gorgeous! 

 

Anna also introduced a new product called Nifty Nested Cardstock Layers that I created the following cards with. 

Sentiments are also included making these perfect for beautifully layered and dimensional cards and scrapbook pages. 

Graduation

In just a couple short weeks one of our nieces is graduating from high school and heading off to college in the fall! To celebrate this milestone I made a special card for her using some of my favorite Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts. 

To make the tiny mortarboards, I cut one inch square pieces of card stock, punched holes in the center and added tiny brads and bit of craft string for the tassels. The Let's Celebrate Quick Cuts Panels, Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts and Monkey Business balloons were perfect for creating a graduation sky scene, don't you think? 

Hat's off to the grads and Lindsey!
