Cup of Cocoa ~ with Cyndy G

Hello today I want to share with you a cute card I made with files from SVG Attic.  I made the steaming cocoa mug box card from JGW Snowflake Stars.

I changed the file a little.  I added a "flap" to the front of the card.

I used the extra optional piece and welded it to the card base.  NOTE:  If you are using Silhouette you will weld the two pieces together.  If you use SCAL (like I do) you will have to break apart the base then select the two pieces and under path you will select "Union".  If you don't break the base apart you will lose the fold lines.

 I added some bling to the center of the snowflakes and used the cutout from the cup on my front flap.  I added a small piece of foam tape to pop it.  The paper is Doodlebug Sugarplums that I had left over from last year.

Thank you for stopping by.

Pumpkins in the Pumpkin patch ~ with Cyndy G

Hello today I am sharing with you some cute and super easy to assemble pumpkins from SVG Attic.  These are from the JGW Pumpkin Grin kit.  I just love how these came out.

These can be used for fall decor or you can fill them with treats and give them out.  They were so quick and easy to put together you could make several in no time at all.  My favorite kind of project.

I used several different patterned papers.  I think these would cute made with some kraft paper too.  The possibilities are limitless.

Thank you for stopping by.

Carousel ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday!  Today I am sharing a project from SVG Attic.  The bag and boxcard from CG Carousel Dreams.  It is my favorite kit I've created.  I just love the look of everything!  I decided to use some "boy" colors and I must say I love how everything turned out!

You could definitely use this for the special little man in your life!

The paper I used is Echo Park - Once Upon A Time, Prince.  I just love the colors of this paper.  It gives everything a very princely feel :)

Thank you for stopping by.

Snowman Box Card ~ with Cyndy G

Hello today I am sharing a Snowman Box Card from JGW Made of Snow.  I made several of these little cuties.  I just love this card!

These cards went together so quickly.  I inked the edges of the snowmen to give them a little more dimension.  I also modified mine a little bit.  I welded a "flap" to the front of my card instead of using the hearts.  If I can keep up with making my cards this year I should be able to send out handmade cards to everyone on my list!

Happy Birthday ~ with Cyndy G

Hello, thank you for stopping by.  Today I am going to share a quick and easy Birthday card I made for my niece.  It is from JGW Take the Cake.

The paper I used is from Graphic 45 - A Time To Celebrate.

I also used some Tickled Pink and Tickled with Teal Trendy Twine as the string on my balloons.

I personalized it by adding my nieces' name to the banner and popped it with some foam tape.  This card is very easy to customized for any person young/old or boy/girl - all by the paper you select.

Thank you again for stopping by.

Pretty Purses ~ with Cyndy G.

Today I am sharing with you a simple little  purse from the Pretty Purses kit.  It goes together very quickly!  So if you need a little bag, this is just the one for you.  I used a magnet to hold the purse closed.

I used my favorite go to paper Graphic 45.  

This paper is from the World's Fair Collection.

It is the perfect size for a little cupcake.  You may have noticed that this is not a cupcake, I didn't have one, so I used a candle that I had.  It is a little bigger than a mini cupcake 

and not quite as big as a full sized cupcake.  

This bag does take a sheet and a half of 12x12 paper but you only have to glue the flap to close it.

Thank you for stopping by.

Disney Autograph Book ~ with Cyndy G

I'm here today to share with you a autograph book I created to take on a magical Disney trip.  No, I'm not the one going but one lucky winner and their family from our school fundraiser will be going and they will have this cute little autograph book to collect some memories.

I used the SDS Nested Alphabet.   This set can be used for so many different things!

For more stability I glued the last page of the book to chip board.  I would also recommend doing that with the first page as well, I wish I had done that with mine.

Thank you for stopping by today to see my project.  To all my Christian friends, I hope you have a Happy Easter.  See you soon.

Mon Amour - with Cyndy G

Hello crafters today I am sharing some more Valentine projects with you.  I made the Rose Bouquet box card from JGW Flower Boxcard Bouquet.  I think these flower box cards are beautiful!

I also made the Flip top heart box from SVG Heart Shaped Box kit.  This little box goes together so quickly.  I think it would be the perfect project to do with your children.  You could make this a small size and make them for the classroom, they are that easy to make!

I used the beautiful Mon Amour paper from Graphic 45.  

I love the way I got the paper to line up on my box card!  

I really had fun making these projects.  I hope you will share some of your projects with us.

Poinsettia Passion ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday crafting friends.  Can you believe Christmas is one week away.  As always I am hurrying to get my cards done.  I decided to share with you today a couple of the cards from the amazing new kit JGW Poinsettia Passion.  I just LOVE this kit.  Everything is so beautiful.

I love the way this box card looks.  I used the beautiful papers of Maja Design - A Gift For You for this project.  I also used a tag on the front of the box card that I had from MME - Joyous.  

I think it fit this card perfectly.

For the doily card I used a brad from MME - Joyous.  I just love the Santa on the brad.

These cards really deliver the Wow factor.  Thank you for stopping by today.  

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Christmas Treats ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday, I hope everyone enjoy the Magic of Christmas hop last weekend.  I know I got lots of new ideas.  I hope you were inspired to try one of the projects too.  Today I want to share with you the December Countdown Sacks from JGW Christmas on the Docket.  These are the little bags you would have seen on Jodi's blog.

A friend sent me a message and asked me to make some treat bags for him and I knew when I saw these that they would be perfect.  They go together very quickly and you can make all look so different.  I just love the paper in the DCWV Hand-Painted Christmas Stack.

I took elements from several different kits for the front of the bags.  

I took the tree from the O Christmas Tree kit.

The present, ornament and snowflake are from the SDS Ornament Kit.

The peppermint is from the JGW Sweet Wishes Card Kit.

The reindeer is from the JGW 3 Stockings kit.

And finally the gingerbread-man is from the Santa's Little Helpers kit.

I really enjoyed making these treat bags.  Thank you for stopping by.  Merry Christmas :)

Folk Art Turkey ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello crafters, hope you are all busy working on your holiday projects!  I know I continue to be :)  I wanted to share with you the AMAZING fold art Turkey Jodi created - it is in the JGW Turkey Trot kit.  I just love this little guy!

He was a lot of work but definitely worth the time!  I really like his head.

There is even a little detail for his back side so if you use him as your centerpiece 

he looks good from every angel.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  Thank you for stopping by.

Mourner's Hat By Christi

Good Morning!  It is a beautiful , crisp  Sunday here and I wanted to share a Halloween project with you.  I choose the unique Mourner's hat in the JGW Raven Quest Collection.

I am always looking for unique Halloween decorations for Halloween.  It is my youngest daughter's favorite holiday.  She even got married on Halloween 2 years ago and collects many beautiful pieces to keep up all year round.  I thought this was something she could add to her collection.

Here are some close ups of the Flowers which are made by Prima.  I just fell in love with these flowers when I found them and they have been in my stash FOREVER and was saving them for that special project.  Well....this was that project.

Next came the bling!  Every project isn't complete without a little bit of bling!  This is Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.

Last by not least I made the bow but added Mays art Black Ribbon to the center and around the brim of the hat.  I also added  a beautiful full purple feather and a small turquoise with black feather for that small touch of extra color.  

I hope you have enjoyed my mourner's hat as much  I did making it .  Have a wonderful Sunday and a BEAUTIFUL week!  

Blessings!  

Spooky Halloween ~ with Cyndy G.

The count down is on, Halloween is three weeks away.  It always amazes me how time continues to speed up as you get older!  Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays.  I love all the different directions you can go with your decor; spooky and scary, or colorful and cute.  I choose the later for this project.  I decided to make the  Spooky Halloween Block Boxes from JGW Batwing Brew.

I pulled out some of my old stash of paper and finally found a use for some 

We R Memory Keepers paper I have been holding on to.  

I love the way my witches broom from the JGW 3D Witch kit turned out.  

I used some crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam, one of my favorites!

The witches hat is also from JGW 3D Witch kit.
This hat goes together so quickly.

I added a few dots, buttons and a bat brad for dimension. 

I also added a touch of Trendy Twine Grape Fizz.

I just love how everything came together.  

I hope you have enjoyed my project today.  

I look forward to seeing all your Halloween projects!

Garden Goddess ~ with Cyndy

It seems like just a few weeks ago summer was starting and now kids are starting to go back to school.  Don't forget tomorrow is the SVG Attic and 3 Girl JAM Back to School Blog Hop.  There will be plenty of inspiration for your Back to School projects and prizes!

For my project today I decided to make the Garden Goddess Canister from the JGW Summer Canister kit.

I used Graphic 45, Home Sweet Home papers.  They fit this project perfectly.

I substituted the flower pot that comes with the file with the seed packets 

from one of the sheets of Graphic 45 paper.

She has a sweet face.  I added a touch of chalk to give her rosy cheeks.

I really like her little garden hat.  I added some ribbon I received from 

3 Girl Jam.  I love the crinkle ribbon, it is very light and easy to use.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and please join us for the blog hop tomorrow.
