Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cards & Box

Here is my Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cards & Box Project. You can make strawberry cards or paper strawberries* to put in your box!
This would be a great gift for Valentine’s Day, a wedding or for someone special any time of the year!
This box is similar to the box shown on page 9 of the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog. It would go great with the P.S. I Love You stamp set, however you do not need it to make this project.

*The paper strawberries are not my original design. I have seen them many places and thought they would look cute with the box and cards. The directions for them are included in the tutorial for fun.

Enchantment Purse, Envelopes & Cards Set

Envelope Pull-Out Tab Album

Here is my Envelope Pull-Out Tab Album!

This project uses large and small square envelopes to make a great album for photos or journaling or many other uses! CD's will also fit into the large envelopes to make a great DVD, music or photo CD gift!
I have 24 photos in this album, and that is without using the small pull out tabs at all, with plenty of room left over for journaling! This is the perfect album to use when you just have way too many good photos of an occasion to fit on a scrapbook layout. It's also the perfect thing to give as a gift, especially with Christmas coming up!
You can add on as many extra pages as you want, if you want your album to be larger or smaller then the one shown. I have used Spice Cake DSP but you can easily use any pattern you would like. Album is approximately 5-1/2" square.

Diabetes Donation Purse Tutorial

I know many of you have seen this purse before and made a donation, thank you so much to all of you!
For those of you that have never seen this, I made this project in honor of my daughter Ashley. My six year old daughter, Ashley, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last year. She is an amazing kid and continues to impress us with her great attitude towards this disease, and she is doing great!

ALL proceeds from this project will now go towards JDRF in Ashleys' name through our ski event!
We are having our second annual Downhill for Diabetes ski/snowboard event on Sunday, February 26th 2012! It will be held at Pico Mountain Resort in Vermont.
All donations will go towards this event and will be donated to JDRF(Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).

The purses are approximately 7" across x 4 1/2" tall x 4" deep. They will easily fit many cards and envelopes inside and would be great to hold swaps!

I thank all of you who make a donation from the bottom of my heart. You are welcome to make a donation to this great cause even if you do not want the tutorial. So many people suffer from this disease and every penny donated gets them that much closer to finding a better way to handle the disease and hopefully find a future cure!

Thank you.

I would also welcome anyone else who has a blog or website, to post the photo of these purses and a link to raise more money for this great cause.
The more people that see this and are able to donate the better!
If any of your live close enough, we would love to have you join us for the ski event too!

Santa Two Cupcake Box

I loved my Santa Wine Bottle Basket so much, I had just had to make my Two Cupcake Box dressed up as Santa too! I used the new Red Glimmer Paper to make this, and it is so gorgeous and sparkly. The pictures really do it no justice at all. I love this paper!
I used ribbon for the black belts and the large Scallop Circle punch for the tag with the 1-3/4" Circle Punched in the Red Glimmer Paper in the center. The belt buckles are made out of Gold card stock but it would be great out of the Silver Glimmer Paper too! The bottom white border I did with the Tasteful Trim die with the Big Shot and just trimmed some off of the bottom. You will want to use the Red sticky strip tape to put this glimmer paper together, I found nothing else really holds it in place.

Halloween Pop-Out Cards

The Fronts!



The Insides!


Here are my Halloween Pop-Out Cards! These fold flat and fit in standard medium SU envelopes, but the recipient gets a surprise when they are opened!
I do have to say, these cards look pretty simple, but they took forever to figure out the dimensions to make them work properly! They do have a great "wow" factor when you open them! These are a favorite with my son.

Due to Stampin' Ups' policy, I am no longer able to offer the directions and templates for these cards while still being a Demonstrator. Sorry for any inconvenience!
