Time 4 Fun Layout

Today I have a fun layout page to share created with the new Peachkins SVG files available over at Peachy Keen Stamps.  They are also available in digi format and are absolutely adorable.  I used the "In the Garden Babies" Peachy Keen Stamps for the Peachkin's faces.
My layout page was created with the DCWV Farmer's Market and Embossed White Stacks.  The title was cut from the Cuttin' Up cartridge.  I added a sentiment from the My Craft Spot Scrapping Life - Everyday (retired) stamp set.  My layout was finished off with a bit of Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine and some scattered flowers.
Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fantastic day!

Trendy Twine - Thankful Layout

Happy Monday!  I have a layout page to share over on the Trendy Twine blog today featuring some gorgeous Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine.  I just love this twine color for fall projects which inspired my layout page created with the DCWV Boho stack.  The large gold doily was fussy cut from the same stack.
The title of my layout page was cut from the Creative Memories cartridge and popped up on foam dots for added dimension.  A whimsical banner was cut from a set of dies and accented with the twine.  My layout page was embellished with a few flowers and doilies from my stash.  I tucked in a couple of tags and added a sentiment from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set.
Head on over to the store to check out this gorgeous twine for those Fall projects along with all kinds of crafty goodies.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Some gorgeous Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine was added to the cupcake and tag.  I added a Swirly Page Dot to the tag.  A doily from my stash was tucked under the tag.  The sentiment is from the APB Smile stamp set. The base of my card was created with the DCWV Color Embossed stack.

Winter Wonderland Blog Hop

Hello!  Today I am super excited to participate in a month long Winter Wonderland Blog Hop with the DCWV and Eileen Hull design teams.   I worked with the most gorgeous papers from the new DCWV Cranberry Christmas Stack available at Michaels. This stack is so pretty with all of the foil papers it contains.  I purchased these fun mason jars and altered them for a fun gift idea.
I wrapped the holiday papers around the center of the mason jar and adhered the back closed. Several die cut snowflakes were attached to the front as a decorative element.  Using Eileen Hull's Twist & Style Tool I took some cotton cording from Blue Moon Beads and twisted it creating a decorative trim for the top of my mason jar.  I wove in a couple of jingle bells and added a few die cut branches.
The tags are also from the same stack, I trimmed them with some scissors into a gift tag shape, punched a hole and added some more twisted cording to each of the tags.  A die cut snowflake was added to the corner of each tag.
Don't forget to check out the amazing projects by all of the designers and leave a comment for a chance to win this gorgeous stack!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a fabulous day!

DCWV Gift Set

Hello! I have a gift set to share today over on the DCWV blog which was created with the DCWV Gift Decor - DIY Project Stack from Michaels.  This stack is pure elegance and makes DIY projects super quick to put together.
The gift boxes can quickly be popped out of the pre-cut page, scoring the edges and with a bit of adhesive the gift boxes are complete.  I added some sparkly May Arts Ribbon by punching some holes at the top.  The embellishments and tags for the bags also came from the same stack.
I created a couple of mini 3x3 cards from white card stock and decorated the front with a bit of left over paper from the punched out page.  An ornament tag from the same stack was layered on top to complete my mini cards. A bit of bling and some Totally White Trendy Twine were the finishing touches.
Thanks so much for stopping by to check out this fun and easy project.  Have a fabulous day!

Trendy Twine - Coffee

Happy Monday!  I have a fun card to share over on the Trendy Twine blog today featuring some gorgeous Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine and a Mini Envelope.  I created a tag to fit inside of the envelope which is the perfect size for tucking in a gift card.  The coffee themed planner clip was the perfect accent to the tag.
The papers are from the DCWV Natural Mat Stack and coordinated perfectly with the mini envelope. The sentiment from the APB Need Coffee stamp set was the focal point for my card.  The tiny coffee cup is also from the same stamp set.  I cut out another coffee cup from the Kadoodle Bug Designs Cutesy Breakfast Foods cutting file and adhered it to the front of the envelop.  A few bling stickers were the finishing touch on my card.
You can check out all of these crafty products over in the store.  Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!
