Valentine's Day Sucker Covers

Happy Sunday!  Here is a quick tutorial to make easy and quick Valentine's Day Sucker covers. 

I first started off with a fast print and cut.  I tried to fit as many heroes and princesses on one page to save money.

 Here is what it look like after my machine cut each hero out.

Next cut your 8.5x 11 card stock into strips.  If you line the short side then you will not waste a lot paper. I sliced every 2.75 until the end of the paper.  Then I rotated the paper to cut at the 6 in. mark.  I probably used 3 sheets of paper.  This is a paper I bought for about $2.50.  WOW!  Lots of savings there.  

Make sure the short side is against the guide of the cutter.

 After all the cutting, I had 12 pieces of 2.75x 6.

I used my scoring board to score 2 7/8 and 3 1/4 on each piece.

I found some find paper in my stash and used a marker in my machine to do all the writing.  

Next adhere the layer and hero to the front of the cover.

Run a small strip of adhesive at the very top on the inside to keep the sucker inside of the cover.

Here is a picture of the finished project!  Have a great day and enjoy the Super Bowl

witch's hat

I so wanted to make a witch's hat with a simple pattern. Today's tutorial is just that a witch's hat.
The black card stock is 4 x 11 scored with two triangles. I have a pazzles file and I am trying to learn how to convert to svg files so I can share it.
This is what it looks like when the black paper is scored. Cut out the spellbinders label and add some glitter.
I found this rectangle punch at Hobby Lobby years ago and I use it for some many projects.
Punch out a line of rectangles on the spellbinder label to thread the designer paper through the label. The paper is K and Company.
Glue down the strip of paper and trim the edges.

This is what it should look like after adding the strip of paper.
Punch out rectangle threw both sides.
I used a pencil to make a mark through the punched hole so it is easy to get straight lines.
Thread the ribbon the box.
Take a 1x7 piece of cardstock and make a mark at 2 in. on both sides. Then cut off the edges at an angle from the 2 in to the corner of the paper.

Add some adhesive to the brim of the hat and stick the box to it.
Here is the finally project. Let me know if you need help with this tutorial. Have a great day!

thank you

Hey crafters I hope you are having an awesome Sunday. As promised I have a flower tutorial just for you. I hope you enjoy and trust me there will be more flower tutorials to come. For the last few weeks or so I have been waiting for the awesome Flower Shoppe Cart to come to Joann or Michaels so I can get it at discounted price and that never happened. I called every week and nothing. Then I got fed up with waiting and I bought it through Custom Crops only to find out it was on back order through the end of September. So my last resort was to order it through Cricut and pay full price for it. And I did.
I was out this weekend in the craft stores and guess what I saw the cartridge at both stores. It would have been $19 bucks but instead I paid $29. BOO! Just one of those things. Now for the card it is cut at 5.5 from the Wild Card cart. The circle layer is cut at 4 from George Basic Shapes. Now watch the spiral flower tutorial and leave a comment about it or something else. Enjoy your Monday off and check back for other crafts. Don’t forget to sign up for my blog and/ or email alerts. I HEART MY FOLLOWERS!

Happy Birthday Baby Bear

One of my dearest friend's son is turning one and he is the cutest boy I have ever seen. He has these amazing blue eye, just love him. The family's last name is Bear and I have always called him Baby Bear. So it is only right to have a bear card. My card is 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. this card is too simple. I added a 3 inch bear from Twinkle Toes. The double sided paper is from Stampin Up. Enjoy your day!

A little birdy told me... {with video}

Hey crafters here is my video for the week. I found this scrapbook store The Little Blue House and you should check it out. I was there last week and I found this fun honey comb paper. The first thing I thought a video on how to do this honeycomb. I hope you enjoy the video and please don't forget to sign up for my blog and email alerts.

Dancing is the poetry of the feet

Last Black Friday Walmart had Twinkle Toes Premier and I was so desparate for the cartridge I sent my husband at midnight to brave the crowd to get his dear wife one. He got there and there were tons of women swarmed around the display. He was able to snag one for me. I am so lucky to have him!!! So you would think I have been using this cartridge for 7 months right??? Wrong! This is my first card using Twinkle Toes and I love it.
I was being very lazy and made a pattern on my Pazzles. So now when I want to make a diorama card I can press a button to cut. There are different recipes out there but you are interested in my recipe, please leave a comment.

I measured the front of the card to make the curtains. I wanted a multi layered curtain affect. When you look in there are rows and rows of curtain as though she is beginning to perform.
Since my daughter dances I tried to recreate the feelings into my card like the front pleated curtain. I took a 12x1 sheet of paper and pleated it all the way down and scallop with pearls. The paper is from My Digital Studio from Stampin Up. I printed a 12x12 sheet of designer paper.
The ballerina is cut at 2.5 with everything in proportioned to 2.5. I some special touches to the ballerina like a cute skirt and earrings.
