Here is a quick last minute holiday gift idea...
1~Stamp a pillow box randomly with Crochet Snowflake 2 E13064 in Memento Love Letter ink.
2~Attach red satin ribbon around the pillow box.
3~Die cut one of the snowflakes from the
Snowflake Die Set DIE024-X with Silver Mirror paper.
4~Attach snowflake with Studio G glitter glue and add a rhinestone in the center.
5~Fill with a fabulous christmas surprise!
Here is a quick stocking stuffer.... We all tend to be forgetful at times, so a notebook comes in handy. I find these little composition books at the dollar store and love to alter them.
Here is the how to....
1~ Cut front and back covers 4 1/2" x 3 1/4". Round the corners of the right side of front and back covers.
2~ Stamp Notes B9408 and Butterfly Trio E9321
with Stazon Jet Black.
3~Color butterflies with water color Pencils and sponge Memento Angel Pink and Summer Sky randomly around the butterflies, leaving some white spaces. Cover Butterflies with Judikins Diamond Glaze and sprinkle a smidge of glitter over them and set aside to dry.
4~Using Scor-tape adhere front and back covers to notebook.
5~ Cut the binding at 1 5/8" x 4 1/2" and score at 5/8" and 1". Attach to note book with 1/8" Scor-tape.
Easy Peasy, Quick and Easy!!
Last week I was in Florida and just couldn't resist taking a road trip up to meet the fabulous IO's very own fabulous die cutting queen, Kittie Caracciolo. I was just tickled because she is just as sweet in real life as she is talented! I wish I had more time so we could have spent some time crafting together. I know she could teach me a thing or two...or 50 new ways to create with die cuts!! So this is an official invite up to the great white north to play in my studio anytime Kittie! If you live in a cave and aren't familiar with Kittie's work, you check her blog out Here.
Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!!
