Oh course I had to go to Michaels and take a picture of it sitting on the rack with all the other pretty magazines. ;)
I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

CardMaker Magazine Winter Christmas Card & Ornament
I hope you guys all had an awesome Thanksgiving with family and friends! Now that Christmas is officially upon us I thought I would share a card and ornament set (using Papertrey Ink's Shape up Snowman Die) which are currently being featured in the Winter 2015 issue of CardMaker Magazine. :)
To say I was shocked when I opened the box from CardMaker Magazine is a huge understatement. This was my first time being featured on the cover and it was such a happy surprise! :)

Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words Fall Friends card
Today I'm sharing a fall card with a fun technique that you can recreate with the use of a few basic supplies you most likely already have in your stash. I thought it would be fun to piece together strips of cardstock and then dry emboss it afterwards.
To keep things from getting too thick, I adhered my strips of cardstock to a thin piece of printer paper and then ran it though my Sizzix machine using a cuttlebug embossing folder. I love how the embossed design looks bleeding from one strip to the next!
To give my die-cut leaf some extra dimension, I added dry embossed veins using my Martha Stewart score board. I finished off my card with a stamp & die combo for the sentiment and a little bit of ribbon tied around the center (or should I say faked to look like it was tied around the center). ;)
Interested in the products I used to create my projects today? To make supplies easier for you to find, I have listed them below (some affiliate links included).
Supplies Used
- Cardstock-Bazzill

Simple Stories & Papertrey Ink Apple For the Teacher Card
Hello there! I can't believe I nearly forgot to share this card. I have been saving it for several months to share at just the right moment and I'm afraid that moment has nearly passed. ;)
I created this card using Simple Stories Smarty Pants 6x6 Pad, along with several products by Papertrey Ink for a magazine call awhile back. I had so much fun stitching this fun die using colored cork by DCWAV. To lend a little texture to my light ivory cardstock I ran it through my Big Shot using the Sizzix Dots and Flowers Embossing Folders Set (affiliate links included).
For this card I used the following supplies available at Papertrey Ink:
I hope you all have an awesome week! :)

Random Rainbow Cards Using a Variety of Mediums
Happy Friday!!! I hope this beautiful day finds you in good health and high spirits! I am excited because both kids had activities all day with friends for the first time this summer and I can craft to my heart's content without interruptions or feelings of guilt. ;)
I feel like I've been a wee bit absent from my blog this summer. I've been working on a big project behind the scenes that I can't wait to share, but that news will have to wait for another day. ;)
Today I thought I would gather up several random past cards I created that I don't think I ever got around to sharing (I'm embarrassed to admit how long ago I made some of these, but that's just how desperate I am). They all just happen to have a rainbow theme! I love rainbows... Don't you? Perhaps it's because I grew up in the 80's, but I think it has more to do with my love for bright colors. The more the merrier, right?
My first card uses Papertrey Ink's Wonderful Words Hello Stamp set. I made this for a challenge to use up scraps of ribbon and I thought a bunch of tabs as a border would be fun. This a great way to use up little pieces that are too small to make a good bow. It reminds me of one of those baby toys. ;)
My second card uses a technique I learned in grade school where you color an image with crayons and then go over it a second time with the same color in watercolors. Aside from the stamps & hillside border dies everything else was using just good ol' Crayola products. I think it's fun to create with basic supplies every once in awhile to feel like a kid again and remind ourselves that we don't always need expensive supplies to make something beautiful.
My last card is absolutely ancient, but it featured a rainbow so it fit my theme of the day. ;) I created this using Papertrey Ink's chevron stripes border die along with some basics by Pebbles Inc.
I hope if your day wasn't already feeling sunny that I've managed to spread a little sunshine your way. Thank you to all those leaving me nice comments. Your sweet feedback always makes me feel so good! :)

"Wishing You Sunshine" Rainbow Inspired Cards
I don't know about you, but I could use a little sunshine right about now. ;) I thought I would pop in and share a couple of my last cards published with Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine before they closed their doors.
This one was featured in their January 2015 digital issue. :)
To create this, I assembled two identical set of rays attaching them to a piece of printer paper. I then dicut one into a semi circle and diecut the other into the work "YOU" along with the extra hearts. I layered my hearts over the top with foam tape and added glossy accents to make them stand out. :)
Up next is another rainbow inspired card which was published in the February 2015 issue. To create this card, I stamped the Papertrey Ink Scattered Showers images on watercolor paper using archival ink and then colored them in with a white Prismacolor pencil. Next I sponged in a rainbow of distress ink colors on the diagonal and misted them with water to help them bleed together. I then took a dry paper towel and dabbed the white portion of my images where the ink was resisted. :)
Please forgive my poor photos... You can also see how they appeared in the actual magazine which I have pinned HERE and HERE. Thanks so much for stopping by. Wishing you sunshine in your neck of the woods! :)

Christmas Treat Box & Tag ideas for Last Minute Gifts
Happy Monday! Can you believe were only days away from Christmas? I can't... December has flown by! Today's share is all about ideas on creating quick holiday Treat bags, gift boxes and tags.
Apron Gift Bag: I created this little bag using Lori Whitlock's Cook's Apron Box cutting file and Doodlebug's Home For The Holidays collection for Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine's Holiday Cards & More Special issue.
Treat Bag Topper: This little guy was featured in the December 2014 issue of Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine using Lori's Purse Topper cutting file and some more of Doodlebug's Home for The Holidays collection.
Peace, Love & Joy Gift Tag: I created this holiday tag using Papertrey Ink's Tag and Joy dies and stamps. I'm always a sucker for red, black and white color combinations. ;)
Santa Pillow Box: Yet another package I created with Lori Whitlock's cutting files. This time I turned to the Santa Belly Pillow Box. I dressed up his belt with some black glitter cardstock and his buckle and buttons using some Metallic gold cardstock. Super quick and easy for mass producing!
Snowman Bag Topper #1: This also went together super quick and guess what? Yep, it's using another cutting file by Lori Whitlock. ;) I don't have to tell you that she is ultra inspiring in the bag department! This time I used her Snowman Treat Topper. I had the hardest time deciding if I preferred it done in white or ivory so rather than decide, I made two!
Snowman Bag Topper #2: For this one I traded the holly on the hat for a snowflake punch to repeat my favorite red, black & white color combo. I also added a little glossy accents to the eyes to make them shine.
Layered Tree Gift Tag: I created this with Papertrey Ink's Polka-Dot Parade stamp set and layering several of their Tag Sale #9 dies to mimic the layers in the Christmas tree. I hid the back layers by cutting a second white tag for the back to form a sandwich around the extra scallops.
Phew! Are you still with me? ;) I hope I've inspired you if you are looking for some quick and easy last minute ideas. These would be perfect for friends and neighbors!
