Just One More

A lot of times I get stuck on one idea for awhile...so, I have ONE more house box to show you...and then that will be it for awhile (most likely) ;)

 

This project was inspired by a card that Cheryl made on The Joy of Crafting show.  You can see a picture of her project here.

 

 

Stamps Used:  B159 (Fuzzy Dog), #5047 (Flowerpot)

Pawprint and wording is from MC-32 (From Our Home)

Birdhouse Valentine

Remember the gingerbread house from this past Christmas?  Click here to refresh your memory.  I used the same pattern (with a few tweaks) to make a Valentine birdhouse.  The only things I did differently was to cut out a heart-shaped opening...and I added a perch by punching a 1/8" hole beneath the heart opening, then rolling up a piece of paper and gluing it into the hole.

 

 

 

 

Stamps Used:  #6015 (Tweetheart), #5002 (Flower), #5004 (Rosebud), #5006 (Daisy)

Heart and wording - MC-15 (Fuzzy Bear 1)

Have a great night!!

Fun-Sized Kokeshi Dolls

Made a bunch of kokeshi dolls using fun-sized chocolates:

To make, cut a 3" x 4" piece of paper and wrap it around a fun-sized chocolate (slightly creasing each side):

 

Open up the paper and mark each side of the candy bar at crease, and then again 1" down from the top on each side...draw a line connecting these 2 marks...then cut along both lines.

 

 Wrap the paper around the candy bard and tape.  For the belt...cut a 1" x 3-1/4" contrasting piece and tape in the back.  Tie a ribbon around everything and attach head with a foam dot:

Super easy for any occasion!!

More Post-it Note Holders

I got a 4-pack of post-it notes and used one for the project in yesterday's post...here's what I did with the other 3:

 

Hedgehog, Flower and "Hello" stamp are from CL-9 (Hello)

 

 

 

Sachi and Fan stamp are from MC-25 (Hi There), "Friends" is from CL-8 (Friends)

 

 

Bear stamp is from MC-16 (Fuzzy Bear 2) and Rose Heart stamp is from CL-14 (Roses)

Post-it Note Box

I combined images from CL-13 (Bear Hugs) and MC-14 (Roses) a few posts back to make some candy favors, but then it dawned on me that that's a lot of work for something that could be just thrown away!!  So...here's a pattern for something that's a bit more permanent.

A Belated Happy New Year!!

Hi there...well the new year is not so new anymore...but I would like to take this time to wish you all the best as we begin 2013!!  I'm sure there will be a lot of fun crafting ahead of us this year!!  Let's start with a few "Valentine-y" favors (could really be used for anything).  I've combined stamps from CL-13 (Bear Hugs) and CL-14 (Roses), along with a pattern I previously posted here.

 

 Use the "extra hand" stamp to make the bear pop out from behind the roses!!

 

 

I also used the pattern that's included in CL-14 (Roses) to make a wedding box.  Bride and Groom stamp is #C-102 (Wedded Bliss):

 

Instead of wrapping a gift in tissue, I thought it would be cute to line the bottom with flowers:
