Thanks for understanding.
Hopefully I will have a few projects posted soon.

Little Pizza Boxes

OMWord....I finally broke down and made the mini-pizza boxes! These are soooo adorable and really easy to make. For pizza box directions click here
The colored card stock is from paperplus which I am very fortunate to have around the corner from my house. I just love that store...they have the most gorgeous paper.
I purchased PTI's valentine paper to use for this project. Ribbon is also PTI.



I got a bit carried away with making these cute boxes. *grin*
I will be filling them with homemade heart shaped sugar cookies and giving them to the grandchildren and a few special people.

Oldies But Still Goodies

I have a couple birthday cards posted today...older stamp sets but still good.

Both cards have the same layout so this made it very easy for me.
The blue male card I used SU!'s retired Lovely As A Tree and just gold embossed the tree. Ribbon is PTI. This is such a classic set...if you can get your hands on this set go for the purchase. Well worth buying.

This set is another retired SU! titled Summer By The Sea...one of my favorite SU! sets.
The image is colored with my SU! water color crayons and the ribbon is PTI.

You will notice I'm starting my addiction to using buttons on my projects and cards. And of course you can find the gorgeous buttons over at PTI. *grin*

PTI Birthday Contest

Did you hear the news? PTI is having a birthday...three years! Wow!!!
In celebration of their birthday Nichole is having a contest with lots of birthday goodies. Make sure you check it out.

Here's my birthday card for the drawing:

I love using blue/brown together and isn't this cupcake darling?!?!
The cardstock is PTI and the dotted patterened paper is from that huge slab of paper I bought years ago at Costco. The chocolate yummy ribbon is also from PTI.

There is still time for me to do another card...I have till 7am tomorrow morning. Guess I'd better get cracking if I want two entries. *grin*
Enjoy!

A Winter Card

I'm making a few winter cards before I start in on Valentine's Day.
We gave the boys a few dollars as an extra Christmas present...this card held the money.
The design for this winter card came from Nichole over at PTI. You will have to scroll down about half way.

The designer paper is from the big pack I bought from Costco ages ago...guess I'm not much of a patterned paper gal. *grin*
I used PTI Enchanted Evening grosgrain ribbon ... love, love their ribbon. The ink is just chalk ink. I'm in the process of switching all my inks over to PTI ink. Nichole has such great quality products. I punched the design with a plain circle punch and backed it with an SU! scallop punch which I pierced...just to give a bit more detail.
I'm going to try Nichole's challenge to make a card using only scraps from other projects...wish me luck. LOL

Love the elegant look of this card...probably my favorite Christmas card that I sent out this year.

Gift Card Holders

I was inspired by Kerry on the making of my gift card holders for my recent craft show. Kerry has some awesome ideas and is a very talented lady.

The designer paper is just scraps I had left in my stash. The stamp set I used is from Papertreyink and I used my scallop punches and added a bit of bling to them with Stickles. Again...I don't own the Top Note die and substituted my Nestie.

I really like how this Starbucks gift card holder came together and I will definitely be making more for just general gifts. I used my the large Nestie die...folded my card stock and off set the die and ran it through the Cuttlebug. You want to be able to open the holder...reason for the offset die. I ran one holder through a CB folder then I sponged some Chocolate Chip ink on the edges for depth. Added a velcro to the top for a closure. I also added a glue dot inside (with the plastic paper still on) to affix the gift card.
I found the Starbucks stamp at my local stamping/scrapping store...sorry too lazy at the moment to check the company.
