Creepy Crawly Halloween Teacher Favor

Do you ever wonder what to do with those cute little sticky note pads that you see in the $1 at your favorite store?  Well, I just love to give them for gifts or favors.  This year I found some really cute Halloween ones at my Target store and I knew they would make the perfect little gift for my son's teachers.

I cut the craft card stock 3 1/4" x 6 5/8" and then scored at 3 1/4 from both edges.  These dimension might vary depending on the sticky note pad, so always measure twice and cut once.  Then I just adorned the front with some layered paper and the retired Stampin Up set, "Batty for You".

For the packaging, I used a clear bag and topped it off with embossed craft paper.  I cut the topper using Stampin Up's, "Labels Collection" framelits.

Great quick gift for those you want to know you appreciate them.  If you are looking for more ideas you can stop by and see what I did for the teachers last year, Click Here.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Series - Part Two

Welcome back to Part Two in the "Have Yourself a Merry Little Chirstmas" Series featuring Stampin Up's "Merry Little Christmas" in the 2013 Holiday Mini.

For today's project we are featuring a festive wine bottle tag.  This tag would be easy to create on your own, but I used Papertrey Ink's "Wine Bottle Tag" die.  A modification of this was also show in the card created in yesterday's Part One of the "Have Yourself a Merry Little Chirstmas" series.  Please check it out.

The other stamp set in the background is one of my favorites from the "Everything Eleanor" stamp set and the the Labels collection framelits on top with a touch of the Season of Style DSP.

I hope you enjoyed this project and please come back tomorrow for Part 3 in the series.

Happy Crafting,

It's a Boy - Let's go Sailing

Are you ready to set sail?  I was totally enjoying making this little Sailboat card for another friend's baby shower.  It fit perfectly with the baby's nursery nautical theme.  She was even able to reuse the sailboat in her son's scrapbook.  

The sailboat was cut from the "B is for Boy" Cricut cartridge.  The background was created using Stampin Up's Label's Collection Framelits Dies.  The swirls were done with an embossing folder and for the water I just tore some paper and inked the edges.

Such a sweet and simple card with a lot of impact.

Happy crafting,

Elegant Flower Birthday Wishes

Here is a cute birthday card that I made with the Stampin Up "2011-2013 In Colors", Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral.  I also used the new Labels Collection Framelits Dies for the green background.  It coordinates so well with Stampin Up's other punches  I used the retiring "Funky Four" stamp set along with "Circle Circus". 

Thanks for stopping by,
