Happy Holiday Ornament Card

Hello everyone :-) 

Today I like to share a clean and simple but beautiful and sparkly card for Where Ideas Bloom. Using white card stock as my base and another layer that I embossed and popped up using fun foam. I then die cut my ornament from Sizzix Ornaments #4 die using cereal box and pretty designer paper, the stars come along with the die, I used chunky crystal glitters on the stars and ornament top, red glitters on the some lines that you see. I then used the very sparkly Red Glitter Bow, Sparkly Black Trim, 

Red Flower Sequins, White Flower Sequins and of course Adhesive. 

Thanks so much for visiting today :-)

Coin Envelope Mini Album

Hello everyone ;-) 

I'm here today to share with you my project for Where Ideas Bloom. It's a quick and easy gift, this one can be used as stocking fillers... just an idea :-) 

I recycled one continuous piece of cereal box and scored it for the front, back and closer of this little mini. The pages are made using the Floral Envelopes and all you do is adhere them together using Sookwang double sided tape going down the center in the back of each envelopes. By adhering in the center and NOT on the edges, you give the envelopes room to grow with pictures on the tags (inside each envelopes) and extra memorabilia. The last one will adhere to the inside of your back cover.

Of course I decorated the outside using Vintage Pink Lilac flowers and Sequins from the store. 

Thanks for visiting me today :-)

Baby's Christmas Brag Book

Good morning friends :-) 

I am up on the Where Ideas Bloom blog today.

We are surely into the Christmas swing of things and we should have if not already planned out gifts. Here is a quick gift idea for all of us scrappers who have a ton of 12x12 scrapbook paper! Make some Christmas Brag Books (tons of tutorials on Youtube) for grand-parents or other family members. For my star of the show here, is this adorable Rocking Horse, I also used Sequins and Sookwang Tape from the store. 

Hope you like this easy gift idea :-)

Season's Greetings Christmas Card

Hi everyone :-) 

I would like to share a winter scene Christmas card that I made for Where Ideas Bloom using the same Spellbinders die I use last week on my handmade ornament. This time I used the whole diecut and of course products from the shop like these floral sprays, sequins and sookwang tape. 

FYI - to make intricate die cuts dimensional, just die cut another layer from fun foam - it cuts like butter even thin dies can cut it. It might not look like its cut all the way through but it did... just push out the cut pieces with your fingers :-)

Thanks for visiting me today :-)

Winter Ornament

Hello everyone :-) 

Today I'm excited to share with you my handmade winter scenery ornament for Where Ideas Blooms. It was so super easy to create and you can create numerous types of scenery or just make a shaker element using the large Domes in the shop. I use my Spellbinders Die "Holiday" for the village scenery which was placed on a circle chipboard. I also placed a super cute Mini Brown Reindeer walking in the snow made of sequins and chunky glitters. I used my white pen to give him some snow on his brown coat :-) For the topper of my ornament I decorated it using Poinsettia die cuts and Flower Spray, also used trims for my hanger.

Thanks so much for visiting me today :-)

Birthday Wishes

Good morning :-) 

I am here today to share a colorful birthday card I had to make for a friend. But I must admit that I had  trouble with this card as it's hard for me to work with bold colors lol... Never-the-less I went to town with it by adding beautiful flowers from Where Ideas Bloom Baby Yellow flowers, Forget Me Not, 

Fushia Pink Spray and Sookwang Tape to adhere my layers.

Thanks for stopping by today :-)
