Transformation Tuesday: Bigger is Better!

As a mom with a three-year old little girl, we watch a lot of Sofia the First.  I actually enjoy Sofia.  I enjoy the quick, short, and teachable stories for toddlers as well as the catchy music.  I really like the music.  For those who don't know much about Sofia the First all you need to know for today is that Sofia has a sister named Amber, who is very much your sterotypical spoiled Princess.  And she likes things "big"!  In fact, she sings a song in the first season that's called "Bigger is Better".  And for Transformation Tuesday, I'm singing it in my head as I write today's Blog Post.

Saturday I shared with you my version of some mini valentines.  They were quick, easy, and used up some scraps that I can never bear to part with.  Today I decided to "upgrade" these little minis by making them a standard sized card.  Because of the larger size, you can incorporate a few additional elements and transform them into some pretty cards to send as Happy Mail!


Need a refresher from Saturday?  Here's the BEFORE:


As you can see, the after really stepped up my mini cards, but I didn't really change a whole lot to the actual card concept.  I still used 1/2" scraps of the Painted With Love Designer Series Paper and I used the Sure Do Love You Bundle to make the elements.  I even stuck with using the Metallic Thread (Gold) on the one card.  I did incorporate the same colors and just matted my card fronts a bit more to help bring out all of the colors.  Take a look at each large card in more detail:




So now, not only can you whip up some mini cards for classroom use, you can make some larger cards to send in the mail for Family & Friends, too!

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

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: 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
