Holiday Gift #4 - Candy Boxes


MIY #4! - Candy Boxes

Ever have random boxes around the house that just screamed "Decorate Me!!!" 

Well these little veggie boxes from Michaels jumped out at me, so I created a tag using Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, added Gold Shimmer Trim, put tinsel for decoration and candy as the treat! 

Super easy teacher gift, because who doesn't love a bit of candy?!

Cut Above Card Kits

Howdy!
        I always find that a handmade card makes a world of difference in showing how sincere you are. So, when I find the time, I like to make large quantities of cards in one sitting so that I always have a homemade card handy. 

        Close to My Heart has some really great card kits that help make this possible for my busy schedule! This go around I used the Cut Above Thank You Card Kit, but I added my own little flair…take a look below and tell me what you think!


        The greatest thing about the Cut Above kits is there is already a basic guideline created for you, but you have the option to make it your own! 

        With this specific kit I added a small piece of white card stock (2"x1 3/4") and distressed the edges with my Close to My Heart edge distresser  and then inked the torn sides with my Lagoon or Pear ink pad

        The adhesive I used for this project was Close to My Heart Bonding Memories Glue, I recommend this adhesive due to its durability and its user friendly application. This is also a "two-way" glue, which allows me to either use it as a permanent adhesive <OR> I can put a thin layer of it on a sheet of card stock or a Cricut mat, let it air dry and now its sticky like a post-it note!!

        Last but not least the stamp set that I used to create this unique card was Casual Expressions D1525, it is an all around great stamp set for any sentiments card. 

I hope you enjoyed my spin on the Cut Above Thank You Card Kit!

My "Workshop"

     Howdy! 

          As some of you may have already figured out, I am a college student. With this the assumption is that I do not have a real space for my crafting other than a small corner of a desk or a small container in my room. 

          Well I am proud to show y'all how I turned my boring desk into my Creation Station!!! I have plenty of space, my little Ottlite, a cricut expressions, comfy desk chair, and even a curtain backdrop! This is definitely a step up from my small cabinet in my dorm room, LOL! Hope y'all enjoy my little craft makeover.
