Tim Holt Sewing Room Die-Dress Form Decor

For today's project we have the Tim Holtz Sewing Room Die Featured.  This decor piece is absolutely adorable.  
This is a view of the back of the piece.  It would look wonderful no matter where you placed it as all sides are decorated.  
It's adorable in blue, don't you think.  I made these to match the sewing machine that I created.
This is a great gift and a great item to go along with your sewing themed swaps and happy mail.

Sewing Themed Happy Mail




Todays project share is a Sewing Themed Birthday Happy Mail.  The card that you see above ended up being a mini album....lol  It was just so fun to make.  It is three layers and very dimensional.
This is the second and third page.  The second page has that cute Birthday Girl holding a card and the last page is a shaker Birthday Cake.  There is room on the back of these pages to mount pictures.  It's so adorable.  
This is a button box that matches this set.  It was filled with all types of shaped buttons.
This is a beautiful Sewing Machine Box.  It is quite large.  Kristieanne's Crafty Adventure on YouTube has a tutorial for this Sewing Machine.  There are no dies or files needed.  Just a scoreboard and paper cutter.
This project was inspired by Bona at Live, Love, Craft.  It's a little notepad made from Sizzix Tim Holtz Dress Form Die.

Isn't this adorable.  This is the Tonic Studios Cantilever Box Die with a bonus drawer that I created on the bottom.  This was fun to fill with Flowers that I created.
 This adorable Flip Top Box die is available on Aliexpress.  It makes a perfect little gift box for tea or candy.  Thank you so much for stopping by to view my projects today.  I sure do appreciate it.  Until Next time friends:  Happy Crafting!

Sewing Machine 3D Box

There's nothing like a sewing machine to grab my attention.  This project can be found on Kristieanne's Craft Adventures on YouTube.  You don't need any special dies or files to create it.  Just a score board and a paper cutter.
After the first sewing machine was complete, my creativity kicked into gear and I started creating more "themed" sewing machines.  This Paris themed Sewing Machine was born out of the love I have for Paris themed Projects.
When I was a little girl I remember my Mother sitting at a pedal foot sewing machine making dresses for me for school.  My Mother was a good seamstress.  When I was older, I followed in her footsteps and made my own clothes for about 10 years.
Of course, I knew I would have to do a Gorjuss Girl theme.  I love these girls so much and just had to include them in the machines I made.
Another favorite theme of mine is "Bees" so here we have one in that theme with velum Sunflowers.  This one makes me smile.  Thank you sew much for stopping by today to view my projects.  Until Next Time Friends......Happy Crafting!

Altered Dollar Tree Foam Carvable Pumpkins

Have you seen the carvable orange pumpkins at the Dollar Tree  Do you manage to pick a couple up every year?  Well so do I....lol  I've painted these before and they turned out beautifully.  But, I wanted to do something different and this fits the bill.  The above pumpkin was decoupaged with tissue paper that was also found at the Dollar Tree.

 Here is an example of images that were cut from fall themed napkins.  You peel the backing off a 2 ply napkin and cut the images out.  They can be decoupaged right on to your painted pumpkin.  They turn out beautiful.  I used the gloss Modge Podge to seal the pumpkins.  I like how glossy they look.  Almost like ceramic or glass.


Thanks so much for stopping by today.  It was a pleasure to show you my pumpkins.  Hope you give it a try.  Until next time friends, happy crafting.

Christmas Flip Top Gift Box

Hello friends and welcome to another project share.  For today we are looking at a Flip Top box.  This die is available at Aliexpress.  This box reminds me of a Crayon box.  It's perfect for holding tea, candy, and other little trinkets.  The focal point on this box is a Cottagecutz die.
Whenever I create for Christmas, I always have to do at least one project in pink!
For this one, I was able to fit two teabags and a package with two oreo cookies.  Great gift!
Here's a bear in a hot cocoa cup from Cottagecutz.
And again done in pink!
This is also a cottagecut die called Teacup Snowman
Hope you enjoyed the project share today.  I appreciate your visit.  Until next time friends, Happy Crafting.

The first card is this adorable fall truck filled with pumpkins.  Doesn't it make you smile!  
The second card features a Pumpkin Pie Shaker die from Aliexpress.  It's just the sweetest die and perfect for a fall project.
The third card features a chipboard sentiment found at Hobby Lobby along with the cut pumpkin in the corner.
This little owl in the pumpkin is irresistible.  It's a super cute Cottagecutz die.
For this card we have a Shaker Pumpkin die from Aliexpress.
This card displays an altered Leaf Coaster that can be found at Hobby Lobby.
This adorable Scarecrow die is another Cottagecutz die.  He's just too cute for words!
And what memorydex project for fall would be complete without a little Pumpkin 
Spice!  This Gingerbread man is holding a pumpkin pie.
What would fall be without apples and apple picking.  Both the apple tree and the apple basket are Cottagecutz dies.
This is such a great fall image.  This is also a Cottagecutz die called Autumn Centerpiece.
