Altered Dollar Tree Wood Pumpkins

Have you seen these Wooden Pumpkins at the Dollar Tree?  I picked up just two not knowing what the plan was for them.  They were purchase probably in the beginning of August.  I was looking at them the other day and decided what I wanted to do with them.  I painted them and then placed some designer paper on the areas of the pumpkin that is raised up on the pumpkin.  I layered some dies in the center just as if I was decorating a card front and this is what I got.  I love these so very much!  This truck die was just laying around in my stash....it was just begging to be the focal point of this design.

 

For this one, it was painted Terra Cotta (Apple Barrel).  How could I resist this cute little Pumpkin Spice Gingerbread man, right!  This is so adorable.  Of course, now that I have made these.....I want to make more.  Unfortunately, my Dollar Tree doesn't have any more of these pumpkins.  Looks like I will have to keep this project in mind next year when I am shopping at the Dollar Tree.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your visit.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting!

Karen Burniston Photo Collage Pop-up Christmas Card

Do you have dies in your stash that you bought because you absolutely loved it and never got to use it.  I hope I'm not alone.  This was in my stash forever.  One day I just took it out and played with it.  The results are just as fabulous as I thought they would be.

When you open the card all these little frames just pop up.  This was so fun to create.  You can just follow Karen Burniston's tutorial on YouTube to create one of these.  It was easy to follow along with her clear and informative instructions.  I hope to make more of these because it was sure fun.

Bee Themed Happy Mail

This project was created for my Sister-In-law last year as a pick-me-up.  She works in healthcare and I wanted to encourage her and give her something to make her smile.  

This little treat holder is a die from KSCraft on Aliexpress.  The little bees are adorable.

This is a tonic studio purse die.  It was so fun to create and is loaded with lots of other detailed goodies inside.

This is one of my favorite things to create.  It's a Memorydex Card holder filled with Memorydex cards.  

It's filled with a wonderful array of Bee themed cards.

This is an adorable bee shaped chipboard mini album that was in my stash for years.  I think I picked it up on clearance at Michaels years ago for a dime!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I appreciate your visit.  I know I keep saying this, but I want to share more on my blog.  I'm going to keep trying.  Until next time friends....Happy Crafting
 

Tonic Studios Concertina Die

This is such a fun project and very useful.  Its the Tonic Studios Concertina die with a bonus box that I created to hold the Concertina.  What a great hostess gift this would make.  It can hold recipes, photos, or journaling.  Such a nice decorative piece.

This is the box opened so that the contents can be viewed.  I love making these and will be making more in the future.  Thank you so much for stopping by today to check out my project on this blog.  You are appreciated.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting!

Bee Themed Card for Sister-in-law

Hello friends!!!  It's been a while.  But I promise over the next few weeks you will be seeing a lot of posts from me.  There is so much catching up for me to do with sharing my creations.  For today, this card is a bee themed on made for my sister-in-law.  It was such fun to create with her name on it.  This card is super chunky.  So much so, it needed its on box.

This is how the box turned out.  It was created with sever layers of paper and designer cardstock.  A paper pad from last years collection from Michael's was used.  The sentiment was part of the designer paper.

This gives you an idea how chunky this card is.  It's so pretty with all the handmade flowers and bees.  Hope you enjoyed the share today.  Please keep checking back for more post.  Thanks for stopping in.  Have a Happy Crafty Weekend!
