What an exciting month! Let’s start with the BIG news — fresh off of hitting 500 YouTube subscribers, I decided to apply to a handful of design teams (again). It’s a bit scary putting yourself out there. Rejection is real. However, you lose more by never trying, right? Well, I’m so proud and excited to announce that I’ll be joining the Paper Sweeties Design Team and the Kat Scrappiness Influencer Team!… Read the rest
I’m so glad I got an early start on my Christmas / Holiday crafting! I know it will a good chunk of time to make all the crafty presents I’m thinking of creating. I am making both holiday-themed projects as well as Christmas gifts I’ll be giving out this year.
Here’s my current “to-do” list for the holiday crafts I want to make this year.… Read the rest
I ended up doing quite a bit of crafting recently, so here’s a quick recap of my crafty makes from this past month! I had quite a few craft kits I was working from – Tonic Studios, Pink & Main, Sizzix Craft Box, and The Stamps of Life Die Hard.… Read the rest
This craft box was the first set of word edge’able dies I got from Crafter’s Companion. I love the look & effect these offer. It’s a great way to make the sentiment really special. Since using this box, I’ve tried the F.L.I.P. of Crafter’s Companion Box Kit #27 Modern Word Edge’ables as well, which I really loved.
Layered stencils are a new thing for me, so getting this kit was really exciting. There are a LOT of sets of layered stencils. They are all sorts of sizes so you can use them in a variety of ways.
After making the Small Envelope project (which I use as a gift card holder), I was hooked on these animated stamps by Motion Crafts. I buy them directly from the Motion Crafts website. These are fun, interactive projects that will surely be a lot of fun for whoever you give them to.
Turn your word or alphabet dies into fun custom-edged easel cards. While you can buy word edge dies, give the alphabet or word dies in your stash some new life by using them as edgers.
I don’t think I’ve ever used stencils as extensively as I did during this craft session. 🙂 It really did remind me to pull out my stencils more often. Stencils are great for making gorgeous backgrounds. These backgrounds can also stand centerstage with just simple sentiments to finish them off.
I was really looking forward to this box and it was rather hard to find. In fact, the only place I found that has it available as a one-off purchase is HSN.com. Many of the other boxes you can find on sale on a variety online retailers so you can often get it at a good price if you catch a sale.… Read the rest
Flower forming with foam (or foamiran) is a first for me. I was excited but also a little nervous to try this new method–especially since it involves a hot iron. After my first flower, I was hooked! I’ve since purchased a couple of different flower foams from different companies so I can compare and contrast before settling on a brand.
