Je T'Aime Display

An adorable picture display for the ones you love. Perhaps your significant other or your children or maybe your ancestors that you cherish the most. I plan to put my favorite black and white photos of each of my children in mine, since there are six sections and I have six children.

I embellished each section with tags from Stampin Up's Beau Chateau side notes, and assorted die cuts, flowers, buttons and metal accessories.

The above section has embellishements to the inside of the shadow box, and some on the edge of the shadow box and then some on the top to add dimension and depth.

The base is an Accucut die called Shadow Box- Portrait. It is altered so that several are connected together to make an accordian style booklet. The booklet will fold all up and is held closed with a Basic Grey magnetic closure.

I hope you enjoyed this fun project.

Thanks, and Happy Valentine's Day everyone!I will post images of the cute project I made for my sweety soon,

Rustic Star Class

I am finally getting around to having a class. This is a repeat class. My daughter created this project several years ago and the tutorial has been very popular. I recently created a custom die for this as it takes a very long time to hand cut all the pieces for one set, let alone for a whole class.

So as requested this class will take place February 29th, in my scraproom. The details are on my website here.

If you do not live in my local area, you can buy the tutorial, which inlcudes the template for all three sizes, also from the above link.


Thanks,

I {Heart} you!

Here is a cute Valentine's display banner I made using my accucut pennants die, Stampin up Pefect pennants die and Tim Holtz mini flourish die. It is free standing, but could easliy be turned into a hanging banner. I just love how it turned out. You can falod it up to store away for next year too!

I used Love Letters Designer series paper, which Stampin Up recently had on their clearance rack. I matted it with black cardstock and then embelished each section.

The heart in this section is from glitter paper.

The letter are also from Stampin Up.

This was fun and quick to make. You can get these base pennant shapes from me to make your own Valentines banner for someone you love! I also have two other banner shapes, a triangular and a rounded edged.

Check out my store or contact me by e-mail.

Pop Up Gift Card

I was thinking of ways I can get more from my Accucut dies and this idea popped into my head. I could use the matt die cut from the gift card die to create a gift card holder for any project. In this case a - pop up gift card - card.

I added an inside matt to the card base, and cut four slits in it and folded them opposite to the center fold so they popped out! Then I added my die cut gift card holder matt. to the pop out pieces.

and voila! pop up gift card holder.

You can see the video for this project, which includes a picture slide show of how it is assembled, below.

And More Boxes!

Favor boxes are so fun to make...here is a sampling of the boxes I have available. Most are embellished for weddings but they can be used for birthdays, anniversaries, shower, basically any celebration. Create labels with the couples name and or date, use as placesetting markers with guests names on them, or just a fun way to give a small treat.

This box is made using the same die as the box below, just one less side. I embossed the center section to add interest.

This is called box-candy. I used a border punch on the edges.

Thanks,
