friendship box --

hi everyone!

great news -- the craft room is kinda cleaned and organized.  :)  just need to figure out a better storage idea for my papers - but, atleast things are cleaned up - i know what i have and where it is - and i can think to create.  hehe.

the project i have for you today i actually did a while ago, and i can't believe i didn't share it with you yet.

it's a box - and i like it because it's made from a stamp - then gets cut out and glued.  so easy and the ideas are endless.

first, here is a picture of the stamp i used from inky antics:

you stamp it 3 times -- and follow the directions.  easy as that! :)

here is the box closed - the tag on the front is from SU.  the ribbon and designer paper is stuff i had on hand, and came from a stack i got at acmoore's.  the tied ribbon holds the box closed - or, you could use a bit of velcro.  the pearls i also picked up from acmoore.

 

this picture shows the box opening -- i love the contrast of the 2 papers.  there is a piece of plastic sheeting in the window










the last picture is of the box open.  the stamp inside is one i picked up at the dollar bin at acmoore's.

i also sprayed the box with some  diamond angle mist to give it a little sparkle.

this is perfect for candy or small gifts.  this box held some small stamps for a friend.

thanks for stopping by!  now that the craft room is in  abit more of an order the projects will be popping up!

hope you have a great day -- and happy stamping!

tote bag --

as promised here is the project i was working on using the tote bag from the same company as the last post -- too much fun rubber stamps.

this is also too cute!!!

cute right!

here is a pic of it open --

this was also easy to do.  the totebag is stamped with SU true thyme.   the hydrangea is from the SU set - because i care, and is stamped in SU perfect plum and true thyme.  i also punched some holes and laced some ribbon through it.  i also misted it with angel glimmer mist.

i'm using this for a mother's day card, but imagine the possibilities!

happy stamping!  see you again soon!

easter greetings

one more post of easter fun.  i hope everyone had a wonderful day.   i have 2 ideas for you today -- they can easily be changed to fit any occasion.

the first is a tag i made to put in some potted tulips i gave as gifts.

these were a quick and easy project.  i used a buttery yellow cardstock for the background, with some designer paper from a stack i bought at ac moore's.  the stamp is from g. studio.  the embellishments were some things i had laying around (sorry, don't know what the company's are - the packages are long gone).


the next are a couple of examples of some easter cards i made.  i did them on purple and green.

the background is a cuttlebug embossing folder - swirls.  the stamps again are g. studio, and i used the large and small SU tag punches, and SU markers to color the images.  i think the ribbon is also SU, but again, i was just using up some stuff i had around.  i also misted the card with angel mist diamond glitter spray.

thanks for stopping by.  drop in again soon.  i have some other projects coming up i'm sure you'll love! :)
