AWW-Party!

Welcome Back to another Artisan Wednesday WOW Blog Hop! Today we are sharing in detail our projects from Stampin' Up!'s Facebook post.

Did someone say PARTY?! I am totally in! Oh. . . wait. . . that was me. . . I do like to party, especially when it is for no particular reason other than to just have FUN!

Really, who wouldn't want to come to a party with this yummy invitation?!

And that's just the "pre-party"! I didn't show anything for the "during party", but you can imagine! And as far as the "after-party", who wouldn't love to go home with this lively little favor?

Does it really matter what's inside?! Something awesome I am sure, but just the packaging alone?! I sure wouldn't want to miss out on it!

Lucky you! Due to a couple of requests, I put together a quick tutorial below on how to make the pocket card for the invitation! I decided to do the video at the last minute (because it was less confusing than the written instructions I was writing up), and so the video is totally rough copy and unedited! Here's the lucky part. . . you get to see just what a true total dork I really am! Hahahah! Don't judge. . .

Phew! Glad that's over! Torture. . . . I know!

Now, let's head In The Cat Cave and see the deets on Cathy's gorgeous project!

A Gift for Mom. . .

I am back with another Leaderhip display sample! (I am getting close to having ALL of my display samples posted!)

At first glance the You're Lovely set was not really "my style", but it reminded me so much of my wonderful mom. I had mom in mind as I was creating this. . .

As it turns out, this is one of my most favorite projects I created for the Leadership display boards! I can't help but think of my mom, and how much I love her. She is such an amazing woman, wife, and mother. . . she is truly an example of everything I hope someday to become. I owe my "craftiness and creativity" to her! She is one of the most talented, creative, and crafty people I know! Love you Mom!

Quite the Pair

Welcome back to our weekly Artisan Blog Hop! I realized that I have been forgetting to give a shout out to the Artisans for designing the blog hop buttons. . . this month's buttons were created by Jeanna Bohanon, aren't the adorable?

This week I am sharing a few projects made with the Quite the Pair stamp set. . . funny how this set was the only one in the Occasions Catalog that I wasn't too fond of, yet I found it so easy to create with!

I am absolutely LOVING the Fancy Foil Vellum and thought it would be fun to incorporate it into my projects. I started with a 6X6 piece of the vellum and the used my Envelope Punch Board to whip up a quick little treat box. Then I used the Fringe Scissors to quickly create a little tassel and tag to tie around the box.

  I also thought it would be fun to make a transparent shaker tag with the vellum too. . . I simple folded a strip of it in half and sewed along the open edges (after filling it with punched hearts of course)!

With the Whisper White note card and envelopes, it was easy to create a quick and simple card. To complete the fancy but simplistic look of the card, I cut a piece of the vellum with the Envelope Liner Framelit Dies to tuck into the envelope, and viola! Insta-cuteness!

Hope you enjoyed!

Clean Up and Back Up!

So, a few days ago I was experiencing some computer difficulties and my computer kept crashing! Since I have had two experiences in the past where my computer had crashed and I lost information, including photos, this was a good reminder that I needed to back up my files and clean out my computer! So that is what I have been working on. . . only to come across a few projects that I intended to share on my blog but totally forgot!

This is a project I made back in November using the Envelope Punch Board and the Christmas Tagables stamp set. BOTH are still available! AND, the Christmas Tagables stamp set isn't JUST for Christmas! There are other fun stamps in the set that can be used all year round!

I also created a coordinating card and mini envelope to go with:
