Month: November 2017

November 2017 etsy Sticker Haul

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! This is my November 2017 etsy Sticker Haul. I see the cutest stickers on Instagram, so I decided to check out a few more etsy shops.

One of the things I love the most about purchasing from etsy shops is their personal touch. For example, the folder above was holding the sticker sheets from one of the shops – they went to the trouble of personalizing it – I. Love. That.
This was written on the inside of the folder. How sweet is this???
The first sticker shop is Sticker Guru. I was looking for date covers and month covers – this shop had a beautiful “December” month cover in colors I knew would go with the December Cocoa Daisy Planner Kit – the top two pics.

The bottom pic is a Halloween sticker set with an unconventional color scheme. Of course, I got it after Halloween – eh, there’s always next year . . .
This shop has a special incentive program to get repeat customers – Each sticker sheet has a bow sticker that goes on the above card – “complete this card to receive a sweet treat with your next order.” Hmmm, what could it be???
Here is my Cocoa Daisy spread with the monthly cover stickers – Love, Love, Love how it came out!
These stickers are from RoseColoredDaze. These are double day date covers with rose gold foil – they come in many, many different colors and are just beautiful!!!
Here they are in my December Cocoa Daisy weekly spread. I used the medium pink labels with, of course, rose gold foil.

December 2017 Cocoa Daisy Dori Standard Kit

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! The December 2017 Cocoa Daisy Dori Standard Kit is here!!!

Above is the distinctive yellow polka-dotted box – you know what it is when it arrives, lol.
Here’s a view of the inside – yellow crinkle paper – black and white zigzag paper bag with a HUGE Cocoa Daisy sticker on it.
I scored the December 2017 Holiday Essentials Kit! Which is in the above bag .. .
The first item is this Simon notecard – a letter to Santa – adorable!! Right on about the chocolate, Simon . . .
Here’s ‘a little roll of happy’ that is red and white with Christmas designs on it.
A package of ‘Sweater Weather’ die cuts from American Crafts. These would look great in my December Daily!
There are 5 tiny ‘Festive Cute Clips’ from Bella Blvd. Ha! How cute are these?
A package of ‘Remember Flag Stickers’ from Pretty Little Studio.
The final item are these transparencies – Pretty Little Studio Season’s Greetings and Pretty Little Studio Starry Gold. These might make their way into my December Daily, too.
I also subscribe to the Planner Add On Kit – none of the items in this kit are in the Planner kit – they are completely different.
Another ‘little roll of happy’ washi tape, called Color Blocks.
Hautepinkfluff Candy Cane pom pom clip. It’s so puffy and fuzzy . . .
This is a set of die cuts designed by Just Jaimee.
These are puffy clip toppers (comes with paper clips) – these are ingenious – you feed the sticker through a big paper clip and stick the sides together – voila, a two-sided clip.
This is a rubber-charm clip called ‘Bird on Mug’.
How pretty is this transparency?
This bag has 3 sheets of stickers and 3 notecards. The sticker sheets includes a sticker elements sheet, a general planner sticker sheet, and an extra planner sticker sheet, all designed by Just Jaimee. There are also two 3×4 notecards, and one 4×6 notecard.
Wow, I haven’t even gotten to the Planner Kit . . . Which is in this muslin bag . . .
Aaaaaggggghhhhh, the final ‘little roll of happy’ – it’s white dots on red washi tape designed by arleigh.
Above is a large faux-leather bow, a 3×5 notepad designed by arleigh, polka dot mug sticky notes, also designed by arleigh, and a red Cocoa Daisy exclusive PenGems pen.
Above is a package of 6 tab die cuts and planner die cuts designed by arliegh.
Here is a 5×7 planner sticker sheet and a date sticker sheet designed by arleigh, and tab label stickers designed by Just Jaimee.
I get the Standard Dori that comes with a Kraft cover, ready for decorating – I use it for tracking my food and meals.
Pages include:
• Monthly Calendar
• 3 lined journaling pages
• 11 blank (with design) pages
• 10 graph paper pages with 3 sections

November 2017 scribbleprintsco Mystery Ultimate Kit

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! Here’s the November 2017 scribbleprintsco Mystery Ultimate Kit.

The sticker on the back of the mailer always gives a hint of the kits’ theme. Looks like warm, white fur, blue gem-studded necklaces, and a Christmas wishlist . . .
Inside the mailer are the kit (inside the clear acetate bag) and a heart checklist sticky note pad (an ultimate kit exclusive).

I LOVE THE BLUE!!!!!!
The Fashion Girls are back (at the top), there’s a small sampler sheet (freebie) on the left, a large sheet of deco and icons in the center and a small sheet of dinos on the right (an ultimate kit exclusive).
At the top is a sheet of washi, date labels, and a full box. The bottom sheet has 8 full boxes.
Lots of blue – from the left is navy, light blue, medium blue, and silver. Mmmmmmmmhmmmmmm . . .

Top left is a full sheet of habit trackers, appointment labels, quarter and half boxes. The sheet at the top right is full of icons, heart checklists, banners, and large appointment labels. And the bottom sheet has 8 heart checklists.
Above left is a full sheet of washi and little things labels, top right is some MARBLE washi and headers, and the center sheet has glitter washi, appointment labels, flags, and quarter boxes. Love, love, love the glitter . . .
Here’s a shot of the entire kit – it is sooooooo pretty. I just LOVE the blues!

And the glitter!!

And the fashion girls!!!

And the snowflakes!!!!
This is a week-on-two-pages spread in my December Erin Condren. This is the only time I use a “no white space” spread – normally, I like A LOT of white space, but we need to try different things sometimes, right? Keeps life interesting . . .

Butterfly Anniversary Card

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! I’m making a Butterfly Anniversary Card for my daughter and son-in-law’s 9th wedding anniversary.

Above is a screen shot of the card in Cricut Design Space 3 – designing cards is so easy using this program. I learned a little at a time by watching videos, reading blogs, and practice, practice, practice. All my cards so far, go to family and friends. In the future, I want to find ways to share them with others . . .
Here is the inspiration for my card – I found it on Pinterest, which is where I almost always look for ideas. Funny how it starts one way and many times ends up so different . . . changing the paper, the ink color, the embellishments . . .
Here are the cutout pieces. I used Close To My Heart cardstock in White Daisy and Sea Glass. The “Happy Anniversary” font is Cricut Sans, and the inside sentiment font is Soiree Lettering, Grace Script. The butterfly is from the Cricut “Home for the Holidays – Spring & Summer” cartridge.
Decorating the card front layer was so much fun!!! Using CTMH ink in Saffron, Bashful, and Sea Glass, and the CTMH #D1660 Ink Blot set and Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous set, I stamped glass rings and splatters.
One of my favorite embellishment techniques is spraying pieces with shimmer – look at that sparkly butterfly!!! The pearls are from Recollections and I got them at Michaels.
Here’s the finished card. You can’t see the pink very well, it’s subtly lurking in the background. I made the envelope out of CTMH Sea Glass cardstock using my We R Memory Keepers 1-2-3 Punch Board.

SVGCuts Vintage Pumpkin Truck Box Card

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! I’m making the SVGCuts Vintage Pumpkin Truck Box Card.

Above is a screen shot of the files in Cricut Design Space 3. SVGCuts creates these files perfectly. They have scorelines, a .pdf of instructions, and assembly videos – where Mary completes the projects in the video.

***When using their files, remember to change the scorelines to score, and attach the scorelines (and numbers, if there are any) to the pieces.
Here are the cutout pieces. I used Close To My Heart cardstock in Ruby, Chocolate, White Daisy, Black, Desert Sand and Autumn Terra-cotta (this color is discontinued). I also used Anna Griffin Foil Cardstock in silver.
I inked the edges of all the Ruby, Autumn Terra-cotta, and Desert Sand pieces – CTMH cardstock has a white core and inking the edges covers the white as well as adding dimension.
I assembled the layers according to the included .pdf file. This is a box card, so the next step is to create the box.
Here, I glued the front and back together along the tabs – folding while drying to make sure it will fold flat.
Then the middle insert is glue in – above is a view from the top.
And, here is a view from the front – the door even opens!!!! The attention to detail in SVGCuts files is just amazing – the door, the wheels complete with whitewalls, the wooden siderail . . . Even the pumpkins have an extra layer that makes them look more lifelike.

This project is actually the Vintage Truck Box Card, which comes with a tree in the bed of the truck. In the kit files, there is an ‘Extras’ folder that has a plain truck in it. Also, there is a free SVGCuts pumpkin file that I used for the pumpkins.
One of the best features of box cards is that they lay flat, so they fit inside an envelope and can be mailed.

October 2017 scarlet lime Planner Society Kit

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! The October 2017 scarlet lime Planner Society Kit is here!!!!

I get the Monthly Planner Society Kit Club subscription, as well as the Washi Tape Kit. Above is a pic of the kits inside their paper bags – let’s open up these bad boys!!!!!
The Washi Tape Kit comes with three rolls of washi that are 30mm, 15mm, and 10mm wide. The roll at the top is a bright red and light brown floral.

The middle washi tape roll is a navy, red and green plaid.

The wide washi has green foxes that go horizontally across it – it is awesome in person!!!!
How pretty are the red roses on this bag????
Oooooo, this is the prettiest pouch I’ve ever gotten in a kit! It’s gray felt with navy, blue and white felt flowers and an awesome tie clasp . . . really . . . it is the prettiest . . .
OMG, this is the best kit ever!!!!! Above is a felt paper clip, page flags in the same designs as the kits’ paper, and a pen that has a blue floral pattern on the barrel, and blue plaid on the cap.
Above are wood veneer words, labels in gold and kit designs, and die cut tabs with 4 sheets of labels.
THESE are clear pockets with adhesive on the back – aaaaagh!!!
Above are six journaling cards and diecuts – fox, squirrel, acorns, pumpkins, birds, florals, fall clothing . . .
This is the washi tape that came in the kit – it’s the same red rose design as the bag the kit came in – Hallelujah!!
And . . . a bag with foxes all over it . . . filled with 4 sheets of stickers . . .
This paper bag is the same design as the 10mm tape from the Washi Tape Kit – inside it are 5 small stamps. I’ve never seen a stamper shaped like this – it should make them easy to hold.
The kit comes with the most beautiful paper. On the left are 6 sheets of really nice, heavy paper. And . . . On the right is an acetate sheet with the green boxes on it, and two sheets of vellum, one with the blue plaid and the other has the red roses on it.
Here’s a shot of the entire kit.
Above is a pic of my month-on-two pages spread. I used the fox acetate as a see-through dashboard on the right.
This is a weekly spread – I used my WRMK 1-2-3 Punch Board and made a pocket for the extras – attaching a clear pocket to the front of it and inserting one of the kits’ cards in it.

These kits really give you your money’s worth, provide a variety of planner supplies, and they’re always adding new items, such as the clear pockets.

The Planner Society Kits are my favorite!!!!!!

SVGCuts Triple-Layer Cake Box Card

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! I’m making an SVGCuts Triple-Layer Cake Box Card from their “Garden Party Box Cards” Kit.

Above is a screen shot of the files in Cricut Design Space 3. Two important things to remember when using SVGCuts files is #1, remember to change the scorelines from cut to draw, and #2, attach the scorelines – otherwise they go on a different mat.
Here are the cutout pieces. I used Close To My Heart cardstock in Glacier, Pacifica, Raspberry, Saffron and Topiary.
I inked the edges of the pieces with coordinating CTMH ink – this adds dimension and detail to the pieces.
The frosting pieces are attached to the cake layers and then were sparkled up with a Wink of Stella pen.
The card assembly begins . . . On the left is the two-piece base that forms the box, and the right pic has the insert attached – it forms the second layer.
The inked leaves and flower petals are on the left, and then I added pearls to the centers from ms. sparkle & co. – I got them at JoAnn’s.
The flowers are all created the same – there are three layers (two petals and 1 leaf) that are glued on top of each other.
There are three different sizes of flowers – 3 large, 3 medium, and 3 small – and they will go on the front of the layers.
Here is the finished card with the beautiful flowers attached to the front of the cake.
Not only are box cards amazing, but they also fold flat so you can mail them to the recipient. Remember to put extra postage on these cards – they are usually not a standard size and they’re also bulky.

SVGCuts Tea Time Box Card

Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today! I’m making an SVGCuts Tea Time Box Card from their Box Cards SVG Kit.

Above is a screenshot of the files in Cricut Design Space 3. As always, it looks like a lot of pieces, but they’re done one-step-at-a-time.

When using SVGCuts files, remember to change to scorelines to cut and attach them AND change the numbers to write and attach them. Otherwise, they will be on a separate mat.

Also, almost all of SVGCuts kits have assembly videos – I watch the assembly video all the way through, and then I watch it again as I am assembling my project.
Here are the cutout pieces. I used the Close To My Heart Happy Times” paper pack from the summer of 2016 and CTMH White Daisy. I used two fonts – Cricut Sans for “MAKE A” and Soiree Lettering Grace Script for “Wish.”
I used the embossing folder that came with my eBosser for the panels – the folder is not labeled, so I have no idea what the name of it is, but isn’t it pretty?
Most of the edges of the pieces were inked with CTMH ink, as seen above.
The sentiment was stamped using the CTMH Holiday Tags stamp set #D1560 and Fern ink.
Next, the panels are assembled according to the pdf that is included with the files and the video from the SVGCuts website.
Here, I attached the panels to the card base.
The card base is assembled into a box in the top left photo, the front insert is attached in the top right. The bottom left photo shows the middle insert attached, and the bottom right photo has the back insert attached.
Here’s the finished card. I added an acrylic flower in front of the teapot and some small gems to the top of the teapot and the top of the bonbon tray.
An awesome feature of box cards is that they fold flat and fit into an envelope. The recipient just has to unfold it when it is opened. Reminder, I always put an extra stamp on box cards – this one is square and lumpy.
