Good morning all!! I hope this post finds you all well!!  The weather is becoming warmer here during the day.  The grass is green and our tulips look like they are about to open.  The flowering trees are blossoming.  I just love this time of year!!

ODBD Dies Used: Lattice BackgroundVintage BordersRoseRose LeavesVintage Flourish PatternLovely LeavesBeautiful Borders, Fancy Fan

I enjoyed creating budding roses using the Rose border die released this past weekend.  The background is created using the Lattice Background Die that is sponged with amethyst.  The frame around the image is created by die cutting the Fancy Fan die and then turning the die upside down, matching the oval on the top with the die and recutting my cardstock creating an ornate oval of sorts.

Hello Friends!!  December is here and Christmas is just around the corner.  Wow!!  Time Flies!!  I just love this time of year as we remember the greatest gift ever given, our Savior's birth!! I am a bit behind in making Christmas cards.  I love creating them and there is nothing like a personal touch sent to all those you care about.

Today I am popping in to share a scenic card I created for the ODBDSLC281 Reminder"Be Sentimental" Challenge for Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge.  I had a blast creating this Surprise Box.  It certainly does not look as busy in person as does in the picture.  I just love all the sparkle of the glitter blue and white cardstock and the shimmer of the silver metallic cardstock.

The Surprise Box itself is created using a special Surprise Box die from ODBD. The snowflakes are die cut and layered using the Snow Crystals dies.  The base of the box is covered with a piece of blue dp dry embossed with Darice Snowflake Swirls.

Hello, Friends!!  I hope this post finds you all well!!  Our house has been very busy with Bible school for the last few weeks preparing all the crafts and actually working with the children doing the crafts.  Last week we had fun working with a variety of kids from our church and the community.  It was tiring but rewarding.  Yesterday, I began two online college courses to update my certification.  I am sure these courses will keep me on my toes and plenty busy.

Last week I had a friend from church ask me to create a birthday card for her mom who is turning 94.  It was fun to create this pop-up card.  I incorporated this card with the ODBDSLC275 
Pop it up or add dimension Shining the Light challenge (at ODBD).

Today's Verse:
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
Proverbs 11:2  

So many of us are prideful.  Pride is not only when we think the gifts and talents God has given us are our accomplishments but also in so many other areas of our lives.  Pride is thinking more highly of ourselves than we ought.  Is there someone you have not converse with because you think that you are better than they?  All we have is a gift of God.  What He has bestowed upon us, He can also take away.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Hello Friends!! I hope you all have had a great weekend!! Sorry that I am posting  so late today but I ran out of time writing a tutorial for my viewers.  I had several requests for a tutorial on how to make the Ornament treat box I posted last week.


  So today I wanted to share how I made it but instead of using the ODBD ornament, I used the new release Sparkling Snowflake and ODBD Snowflake Custom die.  At each step, I have also left the dimension for the box I created for the ornament I already posted in italics and parenthesis).  I hope you enjoy it.

For this ornament I used:
Fiskars cutter and scoring blade
1/4 inch scoretape
Vanilla Cardstock
Sky Blue cardstock (optional)
thick plastic recycled from Cuttlebug folder packaging
Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder from Winter Wonderland- pictured below (optional)
Baja Breeze, Sky Blue, and Versa Mark ink
Sparkling Snowflake stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs
Our Daily Bread Designs Custom Snowflake die manufactured by Spellbinders



Step 1:  Design your snowflake or ornament the way you would like.  Make 2 since there is two right sides on your  Snowflake Ornament treat box.  (Same for the ornament treat box)

If you are using the ODBD Snowflake dies, I noticed the Cuttlebug embossing folder almost has an exact fit for the largest within the folder.









Step 2:  Cut a 2 inch by 6 inch strip of vanilla paper and 2 squares that are a 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch (cut a 2 1/4 by 5 1/4 piece of card stock and 2 squares that are 1 3/4 by 1 3/4 for the Ornament box)





Step 3:  Score a 1/4 inch line going lengthwise one each side. (same for the Ornament box)


Step 4: Turn the strip and score a line horizontally every 1 1/2 inches (Same for the Ornament box but score a line every 1 3/4 inches)




Step 5:  Cut slits from the edge on the scored lines like pictured below (same for the Ornaments treat box)


Step 6:  Put 1/4 inch pieces of score tape on each corner of the box as pictured below. Repeat on both sides.  Fold up sides and adhere. (same for the Ornaments treat box)




Step 7: After 2 sides and the bottom are adhered, put score tape on the edges so you can eventually finish the other 2 sides. (same for the Ornaments treat box)




Step 8:  Adhere the pre-cut Squares to the box.  (same for the Ornaments treat box)



 This is what it looks like when it is adhered.


Step 9: Put 2 strips 1 1/2 inches of score tape on each side of an 8 inch piece of ribbon for the handle or hanger. (same for the Ornaments treat box except put two strips of 1 3/4 strips score tape on a piece of 8 1/2 inch ribbon)




Step 10: Adhere ribbon in the middle of the box starting on the bottom inside (same for the Ornaments treat box)



Step 11:  Adhere your snowflake sides to both sides of the box making sure the ribbon is on the sides so it hangs straight. (same for the Ornaments treat box but use the ornament) The picture only shows one side but you need to do both sides making sure they match up.




Add Lindt chocolate and embellish as desired!!!




Here is my completed ornament:




Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are somehow inspired by my creation. .....and maybe even decide you would like to try my tutorial.  It is very fun and easy to create and it is a great little something with a wow factor.  Tomorrow I will share a matching card.


 Have a blessed day!!

I have two projects to share with you today since for some reason my post did not go live yesterday like it was suppose to.  LOL!

******************************************


Well I have changed gears like the rest of the retail world, from Christmas to Valentines!! LOL!  Today I have another fun Heart box to share with you using this week's Product Spotlight at Stamp and Create!!!
This week's Product Spotlight is the adorable Magnolia's!!!!  This week all Magnolia stamps will be up to 25% off.  While some stamps may be out of stock today, Lacey is getting new stock in in a day or so.


For my creation I used Tilda Sending Love Letters .  This adorable image is part of the Sweet Crazy Love Collection.  I also used Echo Park Victoria garden dp as well as May Arts Pink Silk Ribbon, the bow easyWhite Satin Edge Ruffle Lace Trim, and the little daisy spacer which are available in the Stamp and Create store.

This heart box uses the heart box tutorial written by Beate on Splitcoast.  I just love boxes and her heart box looked so beautiful, I had to give it a go. The heart shape uses the Classic Hearts and Scalloped hearts from Spellbinders. 


The flowers are handmade and layered on Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish and Martha Stewart leaves and twig punches.  The designer paper and the leaves are dry embossed.

When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge:

This heart box uses the heart box tutorial written by Beate on Splitcoast.  I just love boxes and her heart box looked so beautiful, I had to give it a go.  I used a sentiment (which I love) from the new Mighty Ocean stamp set at Our Daily Bread Designs to be released on Feb. 1.  The dp is from Echo Park Victoria Garden.  The heart shape uses the Classic Hearts and Scalloped hearts from Spellbinders.  The flowers are recycled primas that I crunched, crinkled and layered.  The leaf flourish is from Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish. The other leaves are embossed and cut out with the Martha Stewart's Leaf punch.  The pearl beads, pearl heart pin, and lace were gifted to me by a very dear friend!!!

The inside of my box:

Heart Box Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- sneak peek of The Mighty Ocean
Paper: Neenah White (110 lb,), Echo Park Dp
Accessories: Spellbinders Heart (Classic and Scalloped), May Arts Satin White Ribbon, Pearl hat pin, Cheery Lynn Fanciful flourish, lace, ruffled ribbon, recycled Prima flowers, Martha Stewart Twig punch, pink pearl beads
Tutorial:  heart box tutorial written by Beate on Splitcoast


In case you can't read the sentiment, this is what it says:
For as deep as the ocean,
or as wide as the sea,
so is His love given to thee.


There seems no greater love I can think of, even at Valentine's Day, than that of the Father to send His one and only Son into this world as both spirit and human to sacrifice His life on the cross for us.  Thanks be to God for this eternal gift!!


I made this box for Valentine's Day but also as a reminder for someone who will be going through a very serious stem cell transplant shortly.  I pray this uplifts her and reminds her of the Father's love!!

I am also entering this in three other challenges. The Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge #123, to make a heart stand out on your card/project which you can find here.  The verse for the challenge is:
Scripture"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." Proverbs 3:3

The second challenge is from Cheery Lynn Designs for Challenge #12, to use dry embossing and Cheery Lynn dies.  You can find the challenge here.  I dry embossed the leaves on my creation and used the Fanciful Flourish die.



and


The Third Challenge is Word Art Wednesday which a relatively new challenge.  The purpose of this challenge is to share quotes and passages of the Bible.
