Coffin Box

I decided not to hand out candy this year and enjoy trick or treating with my boys. But I couldnt let the holiday go by without doing SOMETHING! I saw this coffin box on Martha Stewart's website a while ago and now finally sat down to make it. I highly suggest watching the video before you start making them. It was alot easier than I thought and sturdier too! If my husband was still deployed I would have loved to send him one of these. The paper is SU retired Cast-A-Spell. The stamp set is Martha Stewart's...I would rather used my SU ones but alas 80% of my stamps are still in MI at my mother's. The paper I had to have my mom mail it to me..lol. Im making these for the kids whom are trick or treating with us.

Birthday Card

Bought a cupcake punch at a local stamp store and just had to try it out. Here's a card I made for my best friends birthday. There is two different punches so it was awesome for punching out in different colors. I made a card similar to this before but I had to cut by hand each cupcake so this was alot nicer!!

Baby Onesie cards

I have been busy the last couple months. I moved back to Washington and my husband came home. Here some stuff Ive done. Baby card for a shower I went to and a gift set of thank yous and annoucements I made for another friend. All made with retired By Ones and Twos set.

Handmade gifts!

I just love handmade gifts! My best friend's daughter is turning 6 on Friday. So I made her this scarf, a Fun Box(with crayons and coloring pages) plus decorated the bag I put them in. I hope she likes them.

Reindeer Poop!

I was making these to sell at a craft show. I used the retired hostess set Deer Friends and retired Ski Slope DP. I was only able to make a couple due to the fact my 2 year old decided he wanted to eat most of my raisins!!! LOL!

Gift Tags

Another great gift idea. Everyone always needs gift tags. And it was another great way to use up some retired christmas paper that was taking up space. Stamp- Delightful Decorations, and punch!

Custom Coffee Mug

First pic is a bag full of goodies for my trick or treaters. I did the same thing last year, and I had some left over all ready cut out. Cute way to hand out goodies and get rid of scrap/retired paper. The next pictures is a coffee travel mug that unscrews on the bottom so you can put in your own paper. I got the idea from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts blog. I made this to send to my husband who is in Iraq. Its a great idea for out of state family because you can send them a new insert every couple of months.

Xmas cards in gift form

A really cool gift idea. Stamp out some cards along with some envelopes and booyah! I got the idea from my Mama Sue who is my crafting goddess. The second card is the results of just playing around with the scraps. Cause we NEVER throw away scraps! LOL :)
