Today I have a really fun project to share with you. I first came across this sweet little candy shaker treat on the Terri O. Crafters Forum. One of the supplies for making the shaker is plastic cookie cutters and a few days ago when I was shopping I found these great pastel spring shaped cookie cutters. As soon as I spotted them I remembered seeing a wonderful video tutorial that Terri O. had posted on the Terri O. Crafters Forum and I knew I had to give them a try! Click HERE if you would like to see the video tutorial by Terri O.

After I came home I watched the video again and to my disappointment I discovered that the cookie cutters I had purchased were not the same style and they weren't going to work the same. The cookie cutters that Terri O. used in the video had a lip or groove on the inside to hold the plastic in place and the ones I have don't have that. But they were so cute and springy and I wanted to use them so I came up with a different little spin on the cookie cutter shakers and it worked! Gotta love that! So I'm going to share my tutorial with all of you but please be sure to check out the video tutorial by Terri O.

Here is a picture of the Cookie Cutter Shaker treat once it is finished. How cute is that? I think these would make great little holiday gifts and now you can find almost any kind of cookie cutter shape you would ever want so you could make them for any occasion. Here's the pretty spring cookie cutters that I purchased.Ok, let's get started!

The fist thing that you will need to do is trace the shape of the cookie cutter on a piece of acetate (or if you are going GREEN then you can use some clear plastic from packaging or a plate or something similar). Cut out the shape and then apply Beacon Gem-Tac adhesive on the edges of the acetate and place the acetate on top of the cookie cutter.Once you have this done let it sit for a few minutes so the adhesive starts to set. Then apply more of the Gem-Tac to the top of the acetate on the cookie cutter going all the way around the edges. Apply glitter and set aside to dry. By applying the glitter to the top this will cover up the edge of the acetate and give it a more finished look.After the adhesive is completely dry then I punched a hole in the side of the cookie cutter using my Crop-A-Dile. I took a piece of pink ribbon and made a loop with a knot on one edge and threaded it through the hole in the cookie cutter.Next I took a piece of pretty Spring colored designer paper from Crate Paper the Katlin Collection, Notebook and traced around the cookie cutter. Then I cut out the flower shape a little larger and made little cuts into the paper going all the way around the edges. I put the cookie cutter with the acetate face down and filled the inside with some candy. Then I took a tape runner and went all the way around the edges of the designer paper and placed the paper on top of the cookie cutter. I went around all of the edges pressing the paper down on the sides of the cookie cutter. Once I had all of the little paper tabs pressed down on the cookie cutter then I took a piece of pink ribbon and ran it through the Xyron and then went around the edges of the cookie cutter with the ribbon to cover up the paper tabs and give it a cleaner look.That's all there is to it!

I thought it was really cute but it still needed a little something so I made an Easter tag to match.
I wanted to use a couple of little bunny stamps from the Crafty Secrets Easter Joy stamp set but I also wanted the tag to say Happy Easter so I thought the Times New Roman 15 pt. font set from JustRite Stampers would be perfect! I used the Harmony Classic Circle I 1-5/8'' wood mount stamper along with the Times New Roman 15 pt. font set from JustRite Stampers. The Times New Roman 15 pt. font set comes with the NEW 2'' Wood Stamper as a Bonus. I started out by stamping the Happy Easter sentiment using Lovely Lilac ink from Stampin' Up and then I stamped the two bunnies in the center using Tsukineko Memento, Tuxedo Black ink. Then I took one of my nesties from the Classic Circles Lg. S4-114 die template and taped it down on the outside edges to hold it in place. I used the Wizard to make my embossed diecut and then I colored in the images using Copic markers. The NEW 15 pt Times New Roman font set works wonderfully when you need a small sentiment and you want to personalize it. If you didn't want Happy Easter you could change it to Spring or have a variety of other sentiments. You could also add the name of the person you are giving the cookie cutter shaker treat to. So many possibilities!! I also used the Classic Scalloped Circles Lg. S4-124 die template to make a mat for the back of the tag. Here is a picture of the backside once the tag was added.Supplies~

Today I have another Easter card to share with you. For the focal point I used one of the beautiful images from the NEW Crafty Secrets Easter Creative Scraps. You are going to love these!! The images are absolutely amazing!! I used the Curved Rectangles S5-006 die template from Spellbinders to cut out the image of the angels and flowers from the Easter Creative Scraps. Then I used the next larger size of the same die template to cut out a mat of Petallics Juniper Berry from WorldWin to create a mat behind the image. I used two different colors of Glimmer Mist, Pearl and Snow Angel from Tattered Angels on the angel image. The Snow Angel Glimmer Mist is a very light pink with a pearl shimmer. While the image was drying then I punched out two birds using a Martha Stewart punch. I used the Copic Airbrush System and Sketch Marker B00 Frost Blue to lightly airbrush a little blue on the birds. Then I took a cotton ball with Distress Ink Vintage Photo and added a little ink to the edges and then I misted them with Pearl Glimmer Mist.Next I inked the Prima Hydrangea flowers with Snow Cap, Ranger Adirondack Ink and a cotton ball. Then I added just a tiny bit of Really Rust ink from Stampin' Up to the edges of the petals using a q-tip and then I went back over the flowers with the Snow Cap ink to soften up the Really Rust color. After the ink was dry then I misted the flowers with Pearl Glimmer Mist. When the flower petals were all dry then I put the flower together using glue dot and I added a pearl and gold button the to center. I also punched out some "fern leaves" from Petallics Spring Larch and Beargrass cardstock from WorldWin using the Martha Stewart Twig Punch and added them behind the flower.Here is a picture showing the before and after of the flower.For the beautiful gold filigree corners I used the corner stamp from Crafty Secrets Serenity Prayer Stamp Set. I stamped the images using gold pigment ink and then embossed them with gold EP. I also added some gold brads in the corners of the diecut and a few pearls in the corners of the card. The background paper is from Crafty Secrets Pastel Designer Paper Pad.

JustRite Inspirational Word Banner

I have a craft room in our basement but recently I have been working on another creative space of my own on the main level of our home. It gets pretty darn cold here in Minnesota in the winter time and I have found myself doing more crafts upstairs instead of in my craft room so I decided to create another space that would be a little warmer and not in the middle of the kitchen-lol! Actually my mom had the idea to take a wall in our dining room (it's a really big room) and turn that into my space. I have a library table that is in the center and then I am going to be getting two shelving units to go on each side of the table. I have already found decorative boxes and matching baskets to hold a lot of the stuff, but it's still a work in progress. I also have some other shelves that I am going to used to display some of my work and also cards from friends. I want the space to be functional but also decorative since it is on the main level of the house. I was trying to think of something I could make to hang above my work space that would be pretty and inspirational and I came up with the idea to make a word banner. This is the first time I have ever made a banner. I used several of my favorite products and I had a lot of fun creating it. All of the inspirational words are from the Harmony Classic Oval Stamper II Stamp Ensemble (Oval 2-1/4 x 3-1/16'') from JustRite Stampers. This set includes 6 Designer Borders & 6 Designer Centers Plus the Oval Stamper. I know I have mentioned in other posts but for those of you who might have missed them, you can trim the extra rubber off of your JustRite stamps. Here is a picture showing you how I have trimmed mine.Also if there is enough space in between images and words you can carefully cut them apart too. This will give you many more possibilities of combinations for your stamps. Below is a picture of how you can trim your stamps.By doing the trimming on this set I have taken 6 centers and turned that into 12 individual stamps. Now because the grooves are what hold the stamps onto the block you have to be careful when you are trimming the stamps! The great thing about the JustRite stamps is that once you trim them because of the grooves you can still use them as pictured on the box or you can change them up.

All of the words were stamped onto Cryogen White cardstock with gold pigment ink and then embossed with gold EP. The designer paper is Flora Bella from Cosmo Cricket and the Coffee Brown cardstock is from WolrdWin. To make the diecuts I used the Wizard, Classic Oval Lg. S4-110, Classic Scalloped Oval Lg. S4-111 die templates from Spellbinders. After I made all of the diecuts from the Cryogen White cardstock then I popped each of the diecuts back into the die template and then used a cotton ball with Vintage Photo ink from Ranger to lightly stencil the inside. I also inked the edges of the diecuts with the same ink. There was still a lot of open space on the ovals and I wanted to add a little something but I wanted to be careful not to take away from the words. Using the same Vintage Photo ink I added flourishes around the edges. The flourish stamp is from the Flourishes stamp set from Crafty Secrets. I wanted to add a little dimension so I used foam tape under the diecuts with the words. Then I added eyelets to each side and put ribbon and lace trim to connect all of the ovals. After the ovals were all connected then I added some pretty antique buttons and a couple of rose colored bows towards the center. The ribbon I used for the bows was a very light pink and I wanted to darken it up a bit so I misted the bows with Vintage Pink and Old Lace Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. To finish of the banner I added a few Pink Chandelier Crystals from Heidi Swapp.

Here are several close up pictures of each word going from Left to Right.This is the center one.
Supplies~
Stamps~JustRite Stampers-Harmony Classic Oval Stamper II Stamp Ensemble (Oval 2-1/4 x 3-1/16''), Crafty Secrets-Flourishes
Paper~Cryogen White CS, Cosmo Cricket-Flora Bella, WorldWin-DoubleMates Coffee Brown
Ink~Ranger-Vintage Photo, ColorBox-gold Pigment Ink
Other~Spellbinders-Wizard, Classic Oval Lg. S4-110, Classic Scalloped Oval Lg. S4-111 die templates, Tattered Angels-Vintage Pink, Old Lace Glimmer Mist, Heidi Swapp-Pink Chandelier Crystals, Ribbon, Lace Trim, Glue Dots, Gold Eyelets and Brads, Antique Buttons, Thread, Cotton Balls, Foam Tape

Here is another picture of the finished banner along with one of the decorative boxes that I am going to be using for storage in my new creative space. I am very happy with how the banner turned out and I can't wait to hang it up.Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you are having a Fantastic Week!

JustRite Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!!

I have a cute St. Patrick's Day Card to share with you today. For the sentiment I used the NEW 2'' Wood Stamper with the 15 pt. Font Set from JustRite Stampers. I wanted to use this wood stamper because it allowed enough space in between for the little shamrock. (Coming Soon--I will be sharing some other projects made with the 2'' Wood Stamper. You are going to love this stamper!! It has a double groove border for endless possibilities!) I only used one color if ink on the entire card, Clover Adirondack Ink from Ranger. After I stamped the sentiment then I made two diecuts using the Standard Circles Lg. S4-114 and Classic Scalloped Circles Lg. die templates from Spellbinders. I made the shamrock using a die template from the Classic Heart S4-136 die templates from Spellbinders and I added a green rhinestone to the center. For the background I stamped the clover image from Inkadinkado, Holiday Seasons Set and then inked the edges. On the green cardstock I made the score lines using a Scor-Pal and then inked over the entire piece. I also added some Happy St. Patrick's Day ribbon.

Supplies~
Stamps~JustRite Stampers-Wood Stamper 2'' and 15 pt. Font Set, Inkadinkado-Holiday Seasons Set
Paper~WorldWin-Light Emerald Isle , Deep Emerald Isle, Georgia Pacific-White
Ink~Ranger-Adirondack Clover
Other~Spellbinders-Wizard, Standard Circles LG S4-114, Classic Scalloped Circles LG S4-124, Classic Heart S4-136 Die Templates, Scor-Pal, Printed Ribbon, Rhinestones, Foam Tape and Cotton Balls.

I have an Easter card to share with you today and I used the NEW Easter Creative Scraps for the image. Wait until you see all of these beautiful images in person!! They are so pretty and each image has so much detail. If you haven't seen the NEW Creative Scraps from Crafty Secrets click HERE for a link to the Heartwarming Vintage Blog to see all of the beautiful designs.
I think the image of the little bunnies is so adorable! I started with the image of the bunnies and inked the edges with Snowcap ink from Ranger to soften up the edges. Then I misted it with Pearl Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angles. Here is a close-up picture of the bunnies and you can see the shimmer on the paper from the Glimmer Mist.
I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch to make a frame around the image and then I inked the border with Vintage Photo Ink from Ranger. The Easter eggs are stamps from the NEW Easter Joy stamp set from Crafty Secrets. I used a gold pigment ink and then embossed them with gold EP. The light green and golden yellow designer paper are from the Crafty Secrets Pastel Paper Pad. I inked the edges of all the CS using Vintage Photo ink from Ranger. Then for a finishing touch I added some beautiful light green ribbon. This ribbon is one of my personal favorites! I also added a few antique buttons in the corner. The buttons were a recent find at one of the local antique shops.

A New Look

Edit~I have already changed the banner (twice)
Heidi~~who can't seem to make up her mind. *wink*

Hello and Happy Saturday! It looks like it's going to be a Beautiful day here in MN, the sky is blue, the sun is out and it's going to be in the high 40's! Come on Spring!!

So what to do you think of the New Look? I made the banner from a picture I had taken at the butterfly garden. I'm still not sure about the colors?? I tried several colors for the title and even though I'm not a huge fan of yellow it looked the best out of all the colors. So I also decided to try a really pale yellow for the background. I think I'm going to let it be for a few days and see how I like it. It might still change, who knows. I wanted to get away from the black and go with something new and fresh for spring but also to have something that is easy on the eyes. So let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a Terrific day!!
Smiles!

I have a really quick and easy little project to share with you today using Cotton Scraps from Crafty Secrets and Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. I was at Joann's about a week ago and found these cute little satin heart shaped boxes for .25 cents each! Here is a picture of the box and the Cotton Scraps before I altered it.The image is from the Romance Cotton Scraps from Crafty Secrets.

To start out I covered the entire box with Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. I also wanted to add a little darker color around the top but I didn't want the color to be too intense so I used a cotton ball to apply the Red Velvet Glimmer Mist. While I was waiting for the box to dry I cut out the piece from the Cotton Scraps and then I carefully edged it with a gold leafing pen from Krylon and misted it with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. Once everything was dry then I applied the Cotton Scraps to the top using Fabri-Tac from Beacon.Then I added some lace trim around the edges, tiny pearls, ribbon and a button. Here is a view of the inside.I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy little project today. Don't forget to stop by the Crafty Secrets Website and take a look at the gallery and also the Crafty Secrets Blog and the Tattered Angels Website and Blog.

The project that I created to share with you is a wall hanging and I must tell you I am so happy with how it turned out and all of the beautiful shimmer. Do you ever make something and it just make you smile? Well, that's how this piece is for me. I love the colors and it's perfect for Spring. I can't wait for Spring to get here!!I started out with a little wall hanging that was a piece of raw wood and I misted it with Honey Dew Mist, Suede and Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. While that was drying I stared working on the pieces to put on the wall hanging. I started out by cutting the bird image from the Flower Cotton Scraps from Crafty Secrets using the Curved Rectangles S5-006 die template from Spellbinders. Then I misted it with the Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. Here is a close up picture of the Cotton Scraps right after I misted it with the Glimmer Mist. Look at all the shimmer!Next I cut and embossed a piece of designer paper from the Crafty Secrets Classic Paper Pad. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo ink and then I misted the Iridescent gold over the entire piece. Then I worked on the lilacs. The lilacs stared out white and I used Vintage Pink, Honey Dew Mist, Spring Violet and Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist to achieve the look I wanted. Here is a close up of the lilacs.For the ribbon I started out with a light green ribbon and to get the colors to match I misted it with Honey Dew Mist and then I used a cotton ball with a little of the Suede Glimmer Mist to add the brown tones.For embellishments I added some tiny pearls and some buttons. Here is a close up of the buttons and you can really see the shimmer in this photo.Here is another picture of the wall hanging that is close up. Even though I love to paint this project was so quick and easy and NO painting. I just let the Glimmer Mist do all the work!Supplies~
