Simple Saturday: Daisy Birthday

This Simple Saturday Creation was made part because I was exhausted and up suuuuuper late crafting and part because I wasn't sure what kind of a card to make for a 100-year old lady that I don't know! Haha!

I bake cookies every quarter for an organization called the Iowa Cookie Crumbs (check out more about the Crumbs here) and they wanted to recognize Iowa and America's oldest female Marine---Elleen Wheatley. So, of course, I wanted to make a special card for such a special lady!!

Here's what my sleepy-brain came up with:

With just a basic card base out of Night of Navy Cardstock, some Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper, a little bit of Whisper White Cardstock, and some ribbon/sparkle, the card turned out great! I love sentiments that take Center Stage on a project and I love pretty paper that needs nothing more than itself to look great!

I stamped the Stylized Birthday stamp onto the Whisper White Cardstock in Night of Navy Ink (to coordinate with the DSP and the card base) and finished it off with the 3/8" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (Night of Navy) and a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

Let me take just a second to tell you how much I love that Crinkled Seam Ribbon! I seriously want to own it in all of the colors! (Check out the Night of Navy Color up-close here and see the other three yummy colors below!) It's so easy to use, it's gorgeous tied in a bow or a knot (and I am not a knot-maker, usually!) It's just stunning ribbon! Get some now! You'll thank me later! Promise. :)

Anyhoo, I am quite pleased with the elegance and simplicity of this card for Ms. Elleen. I'm so excited to recognize her and wish her the very best on her special day!

If you'd like to send Elleen a card for her 100th birthday (it's August 26th), just shoot me a message and I'll pass the information on to you!

Happy Weekend!

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12! Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!? I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement. So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like! I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12. The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month. Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception! I saw her use the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and make a pie card! It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends! PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!! So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog! So you'll be a step ahead of the new products! Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I hope that your week is going well! Can you believe that August is half-way over?? I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week! Eek! I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households. (Or all households, really. I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush! I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile! You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
