Hello, You Make Me Smile

Hello, All 

This post is sharing with you cards I made using very minimal supplies. I just love making cards like this.  Distress Oxide Spray to the rescue when you want something a little artsy and splashy. 

 

To achieve the spashy background, I put a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of watercolor paper on a junk blank notebook and sprayed away.  I then used my heat tool to dry the spray.  Each card is different as you can't control where the sprays go.  I currently only have these 4 colors of distress Oxide sprays-and thought why not use them all. :)  As always - the first one is my practice run so that I can get a feel of how the bottle sprays. 

There you have it, another card in the books and already in the mail to friends. 

Supplies used: 

Paper Anthology: 

Memory Box Antique Rose Cluster Label Die

Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments Clear Stamp

Memory Box Big and Little Words Clear Stamp

The Ink Pad NYC

Hey Friends,

Yes!!  It's me!  I know, I know it has been a while since I have posted.

This time-I have an excuse for my absence:
His name is Jaxon and he will be 4 months in 2 days.

Since having baby Jaxon, I've had a hard time finding who I am.  I decided to join in the 'Card Pals' card exchange from Paper Anthology in New Jersey.  I needed a little something to help get me get creative and active again and this was the push I needed.  

This is the card I made to send out to my July Card Pal and it is officially in the mail to her.

Card making is my first 'Crafty Joy' and I am pretty happy to be making cards again.  My goal is to make cards and to actually MAIL the cards.  With this design, I made 6 cards and mailed out 6 cards.   

How cute is this stamp set by Everyday Explorers Co, it adds the perfect touch to my envelopes. 

I hope that you are doing well through this pandemic and staying safe.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up Coffins

When I saw these coffins in the Stampin Up mini catalog this year, I just knew I had to have it!  And So I did.

For this Wicked Wednesday Catch Post I am showcasing these treat holders.  

They were super easy to put together with a little bit of glue.  The only thing I really wish is that there wa an actual die for the coffin.  

In the video below I will show you how I put them together. 

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

MFT Nugget Pouch

Hey There!  

Who doesn't love Chocolate?  If you are like me, when I purchase candy for friends-I have to make sure that it is candy I don't like, so I don't eat it. lol  

In this catch up post, I am showing my favorite way to give sweet candy gifts.  My Favorite Things didn't disappoint with these cute nugget holders. 

These are the items you will need to complete 1 of the Nugget Pouch Tag is pictured below. 

In the video below I show you how I put them together.  It really is super easy. Once you make one, you will keep making them over and over.  

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Spooktacular Library Pocket

Welcome back to another catch-up post. 

This one is Wicked Wednesday #2 and I made a spooktacular library pocket. 

I had these authentic library pockets in my stash but I just couldn't make it work- I decided I really need to just make my own. This was fairly simple to put together and I showed you a process on my youtube video below.

These can hold anything from Seed Packets but I had Pop Rocks in my possession and figured they would work perfectly.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
