The Love Collection

Hello all. Sonja with Sugar Bean Cards here with my latest project. My husband and I opted out of Valentine's Day this year. But that doesn't mean I couldn't make a few cards! I grabbed the latest Impossible Cards from SnapDragon Snippets store.

Regardless of the name, these cards are just about the easiest card you could ever hope to make, so I made all three. 

Once all my pieces were cut out, I ran them through my Xyron Creative Station® to get adhesive to the entire back of my cuts.
I wanted to add glitter to the angel wings, so I flipped them upside down before running them through the Xyron Creative Station®.
 All of my components aside from the card base had adhesive applied to the back in one swoop.
 Next I assembled the pieces on the backing
 With the wings, I simply grabbed some glitter and shook away.

 Once all the cards were assembled, I added some bling
 Final Project:

Faux Wood Luminaries with Snowflakes

I seriously can't think of a more beautiful thing than a snowflake. Perfect in every way and all different from each other.

This was my inspiration when making the new Snowflake 3D Luminary Tote Box from SVG Attic.

I made three - all with a different snowflake:


They are made in AC Cardstock Light Kraft and decorated with AC Dark Kraft and Chestnut. The handles are made from Bazzill Bling Cardstock in Tungsten.

I downsized them by 50%.

The one in the middle is the original one, the left snowflake is found in the Silhouette Design Store design ID #36347 and the right snowflake is also from the Silhouette Design Store design ID #22593 - both a tiny bit altered.

These are tiny! I couldn't fit a normal size LED tealight into them, so I went with the color-shifting ones. It goes without saying that the handle was a challenge in this size...LOL.

Thanks for joining me today - please tell me what you think of these in a comment below.

Have a great Sunday!

Love a Good Boot!




Hi, and welcome everyone. 

Lisa from The Relativity of Paper.

Today I'm sharing a fun Valentine's Day card.
Using the Witches Boot Card from the Bewitched Boutique Kit. I love this boot because it can be used for so many things. I did a Birthday Version that you can see here



Every product I used is from my stash. The patterned paper is Martha Stewart paper from years ago, the red twine is, of course, Trendy Twine, the cute little fuzzies are Queen and Co. This card is super easy to cut and assemble. The word LOVE is from the Love Potion #9 Label.

s always, thanks for joining us!

Valentine Flower Box and Card


Tracy here from the Idea Closet and today is my turn for another SVG Attic Project.  
Last time I used a Halloween Tote box and turned it into a Valentine Card box, Today I used another Halloween file.


The 10 sided 3D box is the base for the Cat Head.


To turn it into a Valentine box, I omitted the cat head and replaced it with the flower from the 


I also made a card to go with the box, using the Rose Trio card from the Pushing Petals collection.

Filled with candy, I think this would make a great gift for just about anyone.
Thank you for joining me today!

Shaped Rose Card

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  I am starting on my Valentine's Day cards with this project.  The file I used is called Fancy Rose Stem Shaped Card from the Pushing Petals kit.  You can find a tutorial for the assembly HERE.
 I kept the file the original size and cut it out of papers from The Paper Studio's Country Road paper pad for the flower and solid cardstock for the rest of the cuts.  I added Glitter Pink Pearl Pen dots on the flower and inked all the cuts with brown chalk ink.
 I used the included "love you" sentiment, but there are several other banner sentiments to choose from on the SVG Attic website including "sweetheart", "God bless", "valentine", and "get well".  I wrapped some Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine around the stem and tied it in a bow for a little more sweetness.
 The bud area opens on the back side to reveal an area for writing a note.  It is such a sweet card!
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

On Your Way to Retirement

Hello all. Sonja with Sugar Bean Cards here with my latest project. In 2017, I made a set of these cute Bus Box Cards for my son's bus drivers found in the JGW Back 2 School set.

Well one of his drivers called and asked if I could make a retirement card for a co-worker using that file. So I got to work...

I like to add personalizations to my cards like the recipients name or other requested details.
I decided to use the same color for all the bus yellow parts, but detail with a brush of ink here or there.
The back is left blank for a message
Lies down flat to fit into an envelope for delivery!

3 X 3 = Hygge

What is "Hygge"?

Hygge is a Danish word for coziness - for snuggling under a blanket, being with friends or Family or maybe just being yourself watching your favorite series in candle light, cuddled up in a warm blanket.

Hygge is definitely what comes to my mind when I see candles - being real or LED - and that is exactly what I've been working on for the last week. Not just one but 3.

Not just candles - they have to have something to stand on, so I made 3 candlesticks too.

Not just candles and candlesticks - I added a ring of leaves - or should I say 3.

Enough yapping - here they are:


Candle 3D Chunky with Drips rests nicely on the Candle Stand 3D for Display with a alternated Candle Ring 3D Evergreens sandwiched between.

Let me start with the candle ring, as I made it somewhat different than the original.


It's made from AC Cardstock in Leaf and Kale.

I used my Silhouette software to remove the Evergreen sprigs from the ring and add Leafy Sprigs instead as I wanted a more Springy feel to the project. It's all about daring to use different features in the Silhouette Software (I bet lots of other cutting software offers features like this) like Make or Release "Compound path", Welding or editing Points. All in all just play around - you can't fail cause you can always go back.

Then I made the Candle in AC Cardstock Caramel and inked the edges with Distress Ink in a light brown shade. The candle sure is easy to make! You just have to have your pieces organized.


Finally I made the Candle Stand or Stick in AC Cardstock Vanilla and inked the edges with the same Distress Ink. This is also very easy to make and it is so sturdy!


That's it - times 3. Ready for Spring, Easter and Summer. You could add flowers to the rings for more decoration - I just like them the way they are.

Thanks for joining me today - please let me know what you think of this project in a comment below and have a super cozy Sunday.
