Gingerbread House Treat Box and Card | Pixie Dust Designs

Hello Friends! 

Today I am excited to be guesting for Pixi Dust Designs. They just had their Christmas Release and it is packed with so much cuteness 😍 So let me show you the inspiration projects I created.

PROJECT RECIPE

Box Base - Gable House Box Die Set

Handle (optional) - Interchangeable Oval Bag/Topper

Christmas Details - Gingerbread House Add-On Die Set

This darling Gingerbread House Treat Box is perfect for gifting a small treat to someone special this season. 

I love all the sparkles and all the embellishments.  I think all the extra touches like using glitter paper, gel pen details, and adding gem and pearl stickers take this project to another level!

As you can see there is a theme here. Can you tell I love gingerbread 😋

CARD RECIPE

Stamps - Gingy Dress-Up Stamp Set

Coordinating Dies - Gingy Dress Up Pixi Cuts

For the background, I stamped out the gingerbread house and candy canes and heat-set them using white ink and embossing powder. Next, I masked off the area at the top and ink blended the sky. To it, I then added water splatters followed by white splatters for stars. Once dry I added glossy accents to some of the stamped areas to make them shine. 

Next, I added a small strip of white glitter paper for snow. Popped up the stamped Gingy Dressed Up Cutties with foam, and finished the card with the sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed both of my gingerbread-inspired projects today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Hello Autumn Blessings Slimline Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, dear friends! 👋

It's astonishing how fast September has arrived! Tomorrow, my kids will resume their school routine, and in the blink of an eye, Autumn will grace us with its presence. Here in western Canada, we anticipate its early arrival, as nature is already beginning to paint our surroundings with vibrant it's colors.

Today's card was all things fall-inspired, featuring some new goodies from the Heartfelt Harvest Release and some timeless favorites from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

Apple Barrel - Die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Apple Barrel Dies. I added some distress oxide ink to the edges and gel pen details and then pieced it together. 

Sunflower  - Die cut the pieces for Lovely Layers: Sunflower Dies. Add ink to the start of the petals near the center. I used a dark brown Copic marker to darken the center. Glue the layers together and finish the center with the copper gems from the Homestead Harvest Gems. To create a stem I just cut a thin piece of the same cardstock color I used for the leaves. 

Sentiment - Comes from the Slimline Sentiments: Eyelet Dies. Cut out the hello 3 times, stack and glue them together. To make it glossy, I added Bee Creative Watermark Ink to ink the top and then used clear embossing powder to melt onto it. 

Background - The Slimline frame I used comes from the Slimline Sentiments: Stitched Dies, to the panel I ink blended Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. I then used the fence, grass, and cloud dies from the Horizon Slimline Borders to finish the background elements.

On the inside, I combined a couple of sentiments from the Heartfelt Hello Stamps, using Intense Black Ink and some creative masking. 

I'm not too upset Fall is just around the corner as I do love the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the freshly baked apple pies, and the beautiful colors of the Fall. I hope this Hello Autumn Blessings Slimline Card also gets you a little excited about it too.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Hooked on You Interactive Shaker/Slider Card | Honey Bee Stamps

In the world of crafting, there's always something new and exciting to try. If you're a fan of creating interactive and eye-catching cards, then you're in for a treat! Not only is this card a shaker, but it also is a slider.

CARD RECIPE

Let's explore the features of this card, along with the new products from Honey Bee Stamps that will take your card-making game to new heights!

1. Start by die-cutting and piecing one of the Lovely Layers Lures. 

2. To the end of the lure, I attached the cute little earthworm from the Spring Meadow and Dies.

3. Next, attach a clear thread and secure it to the back of the lure. Also (I wished I had done this, hindsight is 20/20) glue a penny or a button to the back of the lure and set it aside to work on the flat shaker.

4. Cut a piece of pattern paper for the background of the shaker. This paper comes from the Vitamin Sea Paper Pad and create the shaker pocket. Before attaching the plastic to the panel, pierce a tiny hole near the top center of the front of the plastic pocket. Thread the end of the clear thread you attached to the lure earlier,  from inside the pocket leaving excess line outside the pocket for later use. 

(You can create the pocket either by using scrap plastic and wrapping it around the panel or using a premade shaker pocket (yes, the same ones I developed 😉) Click HERE if you need further instruction on this). 

5. Once the pocket is made, fill it with your shaker bits. I used AURORA LIGHTS Confetti Mix and close up the pocket. Attach the pocket to a card base.

6. Stamp out and heat emboss in white your sentiment strip using the Hooked On You Stamps and Dies.

7. Shorten the thread that is dangling outside the pocket and attach the sentiment to the clear thread by sandwiching the thread between a few layers of the die-cuts. If done correctly the weight of the lure will pull the sentiment to snug up against the pierced hole you created. (My lure didn't have enough weight and so it didn't work as smoothly as I would have liked it to, but this is how you learn right!?)

8. Finish the outside of the shaker panel by adding some seagrasses. I used some from the Ocean Deep Scene Builder Dies.

9. To embellish a little more I added some fun "water bubbles" using Ombre Pearls- Pearl Stickers.

By following these steps, you can create a unique and interactive flat shaker hooked on your slider lure card that will amaze and delight the recipient. Experiment with different color combinations, patterns, and shaker fillings to customize the card to your liking.

Remember, crafting is all about learning and trying new techniques, so don't worry if everything doesn't go perfectly the first time. Embrace the process and have fun with it! Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Mother's Day Foiled Card | Studio Katia

Mother's Day is a special day to celebrate the most important woman in our lives, our mothers. It's a day to show them love and appreciation for all the sacrifices they've made for us. What better way to do that than with a thoughtful and personalized card?

Today's card features the beautiful Mom Hot Foil Plate as well as some other classic products from Studio Katia.

CARD RECIPE

I began by using the Hot Foil System along with the Mom Hot Foil Plate using PINK Glimmer Foil. Love how the hot foil adds a luxurious and professional look to any card. I then die-cut the image using the coordinating Mom Dies. To add a little pop of color I used a light pink colored Copic marker to color the flower.

Next, I die-cut the background pieces using Half Striped Cover. Once using white cardstock and then light pink cardstock. I then set the top frames aside and flipped the larger white negative piece to use under the stripes and stamp my sentiment on using the "to the best" stamp from the Spring Roses Set. To the Pink negative piece, I added a layer of glitter paste using the HEART- FETTI Stencil. Once the glimmer was dry I trimmed it to add to the top left corner of the card. I then glued the Half Striped Cover frame in place.

Finally, I glued the foiled Mom onto the striped area and added Rose Pink Pearls for some extra sparkle to this Mother's Day project.

With these amazing products from Studio Katia, you'll be able to create a beautiful and personalized gift that your mom will cherish for years to come. So this Mother's Day, show your mom how much you love and appreciate her with a thoughtful and personalized card created with these amazing products.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
