Let is snow Mini wooden ornaments

Using blocks of wood I stamped the words using Stats on ink.
 Hot glued the block to a wooden snowflake
 I chose the snowflakes from my stash that had a hole in it for easy hanging with an ornament hook

Snowman blocks

I painted these adorable snowmen on Dollar Tree blocks.
 These started out as children alphabet blocks and I painted three layers of blue acrylic paint to cover up the letters that were painted on the side.
I then added a circle of white acrylic paint (this took 3 to 4 coats of white to cover up the blue).
I then painted on the snow on all the remaining sides.
Finished up with the nose and face features.
What I didn't take a pic of what the eye screw and twine hanger.
Made these three to sell in the craft fair.

Cinnamon stick mini ornaments

Saw these on Pinterest and this is my take on them. They are small and would be great on a mini tree or package tie.
One cinnamon stick
A small strip of ribbon
7" of twine
Punch of pine needles and a heart
Hot glue and made these rather quickly



3D birthday card

Made this quick card with a new die set. The circles cut and released very nicely!
They are a set from Spellbinders.
 I cut the name out with a single die from Quikutz.
The sentiment is from A Time for Memories.
To make the folded base card start with 8 1/2 x 5 1/2". Score at 1" 2" 3 1/4" 4 1/2" and 5".
Her birthday was Wed and I gave it to her yesterday at her party with a chapstick key ring, a flower gel pen, a domino necklace and some chocolate pretzels.

Craft fair candles

Made 4 of these for a craft fair
The candles are battery operated with a real wax feel and flickering flame. These plain candles came from The Dollar Tree


 This version I cut a 1.5" of music paper and hit glued to the candle. Then die cut the peace frame and sentiment.

This version I wrapped twine around the mid section of the candle and then hot glue 3 leaves and added rhinestones.

Birthday Card Disney Cinderella Carriage

I was so excited to buy this Disney Cinderella Carriage die off of fb a couple months ago as I had my daughter in mind.
She is a HUGE Disney fan and after several thoughts on what type of card I was going to make her - I settled on this 3D
Trying to get the layers to line up precisely was a little tricky. You see... when you lay the card flat the middle frame lays perfectly over the mat on the last section.
The Happy is hung only by the "h" on the frame panel and the Birthday is glued to the back mat.
This card took some time and lots of thought however I am please with the outcome.
Happy Birthday to my daughter! <3 p="">
