Thank You Card and Gift Set

Hello, I hope that you have having a wonderful Saturday, mine is off to a slow start today, lol. 

I have not had much time to craft over the last couple of months now so getting back to my craft table the other night was a lot of fun :)

I wanted to create a thank you card and coordinating gift set for our neighbours as a thank you for collecting our mail while we were away. 

Here is a video that I posted on my YouTube channel of me explaining how I made the card, envelope and box set :

And a picture of the finished set :)

Well I think that's it's time for me to get going and enjoy this beautiful Saturday :)

My Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Well I got them all done and I am really happy with how this years teacher appreciations gifts turned out. I almost did not get them done... I don't know what I was thinking but I was planning to finish them up tomorrow when all of a sudden it dawned on me that I need them ready for tomorrow!!! lol 

Here is a video that I posted on my YouTube  but I thought that I would also share it here too :)

I also took some close up pictures of them.

This is the card I made, inside it says Teacher!! 

I know that my boys are excited for summer, and it has been a very late night for them (Bobby just came down to tell us something!!it is 10:31!!) so they will all be very tired in the morning for sure...lol

A Thank You Card Gift Set

Well I cannot believe how close we are to Christmas!! Today was the last day of school for my boys and the excitement level in our house jumped from about 5 to 10!!!

Tomorrow we are off to visit friends and family, we have all really been looking forward to it for so long and I cannot believe it is finally here!

I have been busy making some gifts for my family and today I finished up my sisters gift. I created a video sharing my creations for my YouTube channel, so I thought that I would share that here too. 

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend…

A Happy Birthday Card and Treat

Over the weekend a good friend celebrated her birthday. We went over on Saturday night to have some cake and spend some time with her and this is what I made for her :)

The card is from the Something to Celebrate Cricut cartridge, and is cut using the card feature. This card came together very easily and quickly too…lol.  I ran the cake layer through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder and then added yellow glitter glue to the flames on the candle for some extra sparkle :) The sentiment inside the card is from the Birthday Crazy stamp set from My Pink Samper.

For her little treat I bought some pink jellybeans. I then wanted to continue the pink theme while making the box for them.  I used the Bags Tags Boxes and More 2 cartridge and cut out a little milk carton.  I used the same pink paper from the card for the edges of the box and embossed it with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder to match the card.
The tag was cut  from the Winter Woodlands Cricut cartridge, and the happy birthday sentiment is from an Impression Obsession stamp set and the monogram is from a Martha Stewart stamp set.  

She and her daughters loved the card and really enjoyed all the jellybeans…lol We all had a wonderful evening  and I’m really happy she like everything J

Bake Sale

Our Jr. and Sr. Youth groups are hosting a bake sale tomorrow after the service to fundraise for our church’s annual Sharing Way campaign.  We have decided to bake chocolate chip cookies.  mmm ... yumm!!!

The Jr. Youth decided to do some baking at our meeting on Thursday night so we could package them and sell to those who might not want any cookies tomorrow morning, but might just want to take some home for later.   The Sr. Youth are going to bake theirs tomorrow morning during the service so when church is over we will all walk out to the wonderful smell, and to freshly baked warm chocolate chip cookies!!!

I had these white paper bags I mainly use for crafting, but I thought would be perfect for packaging up our cookies. I used my Cricut and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge to create the tag, and the Papertrey Ink Spiral Bouquet stamp set for the flower and the My Pink Stamper Yummy-licious stamp set for the sentiments.

I hope that all the baking goes well tomorrow morning, I know that the youth are excited about the bake sale!! It will be a great service too, my good friend is preaching :)

FIF - Tags, Bags, Boxes & More

This box was cut from the Bags, Tags, Boxes and More cartridges at 4 and ¾.  The purple paper was cut at 4 and ¼ , it was then de-stressed and then inked with Tim Holtz de-stressing ink Vintage Photo.

The flower is the shift cut of flower #6 from the Forever Young cartridge, cut at ¾ for the big ones and ¼ for the little ones.

  Sparkles were then put onto the center of all the flowers.

The corners are dotted with a white gel pen, and the ribbon is some that I had from around the house.

It was a lot of fun to make... hope you like it,

Cheryl :)
