Christmas Favor Boxes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 Have you begun your Christmas crafting?  I'm getting a jump start today, with this trio of Christmas Favor Boxes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  Be sure and visit their blog to see all the boxes in detail.  I'm creating with the Authentique Nostalgia paper collection and using a file that I purchased from Cricut, for use in my design space.  It was only $1.49 and I can use it over and over!  Scroll down for more details on the file.

This is the Open Favor Box from the Martha Stewart Beginner's Collection and is Cricut design space file #M54C4C42. I expanded the file out to approximately 11.5 inches in width to create my scored and folded boxes.  They were super easy and quick to assemble.  This file is only available for purchase if you have access to Cricut's design space.  You can upload the file, then purchase it prior to cutting.

  Once assembled, my favor boxes measured 3.5"W by 4.5" L.   You can simply copy and paste the link below into your design space and click "Make It", to begin cutting with your Cricut Explore.

Let me mention that I love the thickness of the Authentique Nostalgia paper.  Its perfect for cutting and I had no problems with paper tearing or the blade not cutting all the way through.  It worked perfectly on the regular cardstock setting.

I have shopping links for most of the products that I used, below.  Thanks so much for stopping in and click this link, to see the rest of my products and creative tips over on the the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog.  See you next time.... Terri

It's a Wonderful Life with TPD Stamps!

New Release at Two Paper Divas Stamps - Day 1

It's time for the September release from Two Paper Divas Stamps and today, it's all about the holidays - Halloween and Christmas!  All the new release stamps are discounted 25% today and tomorrow but older holiday stamps on the site are currently marked at 30% off, so look around.

Today, I'm featuring Ho Ho Ho, which is this amazing vintage Santa Claus.




I'm coloring with my Zig Clean Color brushes today, using the Carmine Red on the cap and lips, then watercoloring with Almond Pink, Flesh and Tea Rose for the facial features.  His cap was adorned with Flower Soft in Polar White and the entire image was fussy cut and paired with the new Retro Christmas collection from Authentique Papers.

Check out what's on Santa's list.  He's not picky!  He just wants his milk and cookies, clear skies and to tear up the naughty list, haha.  All my writing was done with my Kaisercraft glitter pens.





Purchase Ho Ho Ho, here.

New Release at So Suzy Stamps SAMClub + Flat Shaker Card

 It's time for the So Suzy Stamps May Release for the Stamp of the Month Club!  To kick things off this month, I thought it would be fun to create a flat shaker card with a "porthole".  I have a fabulous circle die from Pinkfresh Studio that fit the bill perfectly, along with my WRMK Fuse.  And, I love the stamp this month.  Isn't it amazing?

To start, I inked my image with TH Brushed Corduroy distress ink and distressed my Authentique papers from the Anchored Collection with my TH distress tool.  I heat embossed my sentiment on vellum with white pigment ink and clear embossing powder, than swiped a brown Tombow marker across each embossed line.  You can grab that sentiment in Suzy's store, here.





Now it's time to FUSE!  Just line up your ruler as close to the edge of your cardstock as you can.  Don't forget to toss your sequins in before you fuse your last side. 

When you're all done..... shake, shake, shake!  It's fun to do and fun to give to your friends and family.  Kids of all ages love shaker cards.  This can even be displayed on a little wooden easel.  It's the perfect card for the traveler, adventurer or lover of all things nautical.  The sentiment that I used turns this into an encouragement card, as well.  Have fun with the new Stamp of the Month! 

I hope you enjoyed my project and handy tips.  Check out Suzy's website and do some shopping while you're at it.   Then take a look at the SAM club.  Exclusive membership gets you special stamps each month, plus membership into a private Facebook group, fun giveaways and more! 

The next quarter starts this month so there's still time for you to sign up.  You can choose a 3 month membership or longer if you'd like.  Membership packages are available to USA, Canada and drum roll..... International!  I've already had a sneak peek at future releases and they are soooo fun!  You won't be disappointed!  If you love coastal, beachy, nautical fun..... sign up!  Membership can sell out quick so don't wait.

Watercolor flower joy

It's Friday again.  Yes!  My 2nd favorite day of the week and it's also Friends with Flair time over at the Unity Stamp Co blog.  

I did some watercolor on this Unity Stamp called Well Wishes, using my Tim Holtz distress markers.  Love love love these markers!  I also used my new stitched oval frame and stitched tag dies from Lil Inker Designs.  I am not a sewer so I love that I can still get that stitched look without a needle and thread!  The finishing touches are enamel dots and May Arts Ribbon natural jute and mini pink raffia bow ribbon. Isn't it adorable?  I almost forgot to mention...the sentiment is from another Unity set called Feel the Joy.  

Come check out all the awesome projects today at the FWF challenge at Unity, and hop over to Mountain Plains Crafters where another challenge giveaway is going on, and link up!

Pink sweet cancer card

Well it's Saturday morning, I'm the only one up and I'm sitting here with my favorite mug of hot coffee.  Let me show you this new card I just made.  I took a Valentine stamp and put a different spin on it.  Breast cancer, unfortunately, has played a major role in my families life with my mother and sister both having successfully battled it in recent years.

This stamp comes from the Everything Love kit from Unity Stamps, designed by Lisa Arana.  I thought the sentiment was a perfect reflection of life being sweeter, particularly for those cancer survivors.  By the way, this kit is on sale right now for more than 1/2 off so you might wanna jump on it!  There's a lot of great detail so peek at the awesome supply list.  Have a great day!

Supplies:  Authentique lively cardstock, Paper Boutique frame and bird, Martha Stewart border punch,  Colorbox pink ink, Memento London Fog ink, adhesive gem pink ribbon from Michaels, American Crafts pink cancer ribbon, white flower rose ribbon

Butterfly get well card

It's time for me to stock up on cards with everyday sentiments.  I've done several orders lately and I am out!  I have a couple stamps I'm using for the very first time.  Unity Stamps has THE best sales ever.  Period.  Plus they always send freebies.  With that in mind, I wanted to feature some freebies on this card. 

Did you know you can buy some Authenique cardstock for just .99 at Unity?  Yup.  Plus occasionally, I get bits and pieces as my freebie when I order.  This card features several coordinating pieces from Authentique.  Also, the chevron tag, twine and purple star were freebies.  Aren't these awesome?!

See the frame?  I got that half price with a Unity coupon promo code.  I'm in love with this frame called Polka.Dot.Journal.  You could do a lot with it and it's huge! The butterfly is from a kit called, Devoted.  It has several scripture quotes that come with it.  I've been wanting that kit forever and it finally went on sale at a super price that was too good to pass up.  No, I am not a sales woman for Unity, I just love their products.  Can ya tell?  Ha.  I kept the sentiment very simple because I wanted the focus to be on the frame and butterfly.  The sentiment comes from another kit called Bunches of Love...one of my favorite kits.  So there you have it.  Hope I've inspired you to give Unity a try.  Its a great community of support and friendship too as you will find out.
