Do you love peanut butter? Then today is your day! Today is National Peanut Butter Day! In honor of the day, I thought I’d share this lovely card created by Deb for our Annual Crazy for Cards Event we hosted yesterday. I suggested she stuff Dove Chocolate Hearts into her heart “envelope.” But you know … Read more Happy National Peanut Butter Day!
Happy New Year! Are you busy thinking about your resolution for the year? Or maybe you already decided before midnight struck and now are simply conquering your first day with the new resolution?
How about a new tradition? Instead of making Christmas/holiday cards to send out perhaps you wait until all the hustle and bustle is over and then create handmade New Year cards! It’d be a nice and unexpected card to receive in the mail, right?
About a week and a half ago I happened to see a small chunk of a holiday DIY segment on a morning show. They were talking about making a festive and easy Peppermint Bowl out of Starlight Mints. I was intrigued!
I was just killing a little bit of time when I saw it so didn’t really have plans of making one. However, we had a holiday party to attend this past weekend and I thought it would be fun to give it a try–only instead of doing a bowl, I wanted to try a raised platter.
It was really simple to do and my family was extremely impressed with the results! So here is a little quick tutorial so you, too, can impress your friends and family!
Gather the supplies (Starlight Mints and a candlestick–both can be purchased at your local Dollar Store–bonus!!) You’ll also need Parchment Paper, a Cookie Sheet and a hot glue gun.
I wanted to take a quick moment to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!! And if you are reading this early enough in the day and would like some fun conversation starters at the dinner table (whether for the kids or for the adults!), Close To My Heart has some wonderful ones HERE.
Want a fun way to create place cards for Thanksgiving dinner this year? Why not try one of these adorable (and easy!) treat containers that would be perfect for a place card. They can be as simple or as elaborate as you want.
This one we created in my Stamp Club this month. I loved using our beautiful Fundamentals Papers–they make it look so elegant without any extra work!
It’s 1 week until Halloween–the perfect time to send out some Halloween cards. Do you send out Halloween cards? You should! Here are 3 reasons you should send them out.
This Sunday, October 25th, is Mother-In-Law Day and what better way to celebrate the occasion than to make and send her a handmade card! Mother-in-Laws tend to get a bad reputation so this seems like a great “unofficial” holiday to celebrate, don’t you think?
For this card, I decided to use our *NEW* Square Diffuser so that I could make the sentiment stand out a little more. The Diffusers are so fun (and easy!) to use.
Another fun technique to try with the Blossoming Expressions Stamp Set I used on this card is Second Generation Stamping. It’s the perfect way to get the most out of your stamp pads.
This darling little Halloween Box is so quick and easy to put together with the help of Close To My Heart’s Cricut Artiste Collection. It’s the perfect little box to put a little treat in for your special trick or treaters this Halloween. Making fun little treats for those special people couldn’t be easier since the Cricut does all the work. Simply select the size you want (a recommended size is given in the Cricut handbook) and then fold all the score lines, sponge the edges if you’d like–for a little more spooky look–and then glue the tabs together and voila, you have an amazing Halloween Box for giving treats in.
We used the Little Monsters Stamp Set which is so adorable with it’s spooky cute characters that can be colored in using our ShinHan Alcohol Markers or our Watercolor Pencils. I don’t think you could create a bad project using this stamp set! It’s just so cute! I would recommend prepping all your pieces for the box and adhering them before putting the box all together. It’ll just make it easier to have nice contact when adhering the spooky creatures to the box.
It’s time to start crafting for Halloween! With Close To My Heart’s *NEW* Nevermore Paper Pack, you’ve got some great paper options. But as you’ll see in this video, you can use this same paper to craft for events beyond Halloween.
It’s getting to be that exciting, fast-paced time of year! Halloween is right around the corner, then before we know it Thanksgiving will be here and then Christmas will have come and gone in a blink of an eye!
It’s hard to believe that it’s less than 2 weeks until my annual Holiday Extravaganza Event (always a favorite–we sold out weeks before the RSVP deadline this year!) But even more unimaginable is that it’s time for my annual 12 Weeks of Christmas campaign.
That’s right, it’s time for the 12 Weeks of Christmas!
Today’s card is one that goes together so quick and easy. There’s NO stamping–it’s beauty comes from cuts from the wonderful *NEW* Cricut Artistry Collection.
I started out using the Scaredy Cat Paper Packet (note: this paper retires at the end of the month!) I made one alteration to the color scheme though–instead of using Thistle, I used Smokey Plum. What can I say? I like the deeper, more muted purple color! Another note: the Smokey Plum color is also set to retire at the end of the month! Get ’em while you can–we’re talking cardstock, ink pads and re-inkers!
It’s only a few days until Father’s Day! Have you made your Father’s Day card(s) yet? Here are a couple of ideas to help boost your creativity.
