Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to you all! Today I am sharing this darling Easter Memorydex card using Easter Squeak, isn't she darling? You could always use this layout on a card as well. I'm just loving these memorydex cards as I get to see them every time I'm crafting, and I change them up by just spinning it. Love that! 

I start out with all my cards measuring about 4 1/4" x 5 3/4" , then covering with design paper choices,then cut down the top using different edge dies. Next I cut out my shaped layers so I have a starting point to work with. I will then cut some greenery and pick what I'm gonna use on the center(unless I've picked it already) , I also pick up some of the embellishments I think I may use. This one here I chose to use this darling Easter Squeak and love her!

Happy Easter Gable Gift box

Hello crafty friends and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I have this fun little Easter Box I covered up with design papers, dies, Really Reasonable Ribbons & embellishments. I love decorating these fun little gable boxes! 

On my box here I started with a pink design paper I bought a pack of from our local warehouse sale, then used a border die to cut the little top piece done in blue. I added Really Reasonable Ribbons Pearls to this piece. Next I made up 2 big bows using Satin ribbons and hot glued them on the handle, this way they dont have to be removed to open this up. I stamped up stampinUp! stamps and punched out the sentiment. My sweet little chick bunny is a SVG file I cut out on my cricut, and then distressed and added the eyelashes and dots on by hand. The eggs I airbrushed after cutting them out in white card stock. Next I added the beautiful flowers that RRR carries, and will list everything below for easy finding.

Sweet Gift Bag and Gable Box

Hello everyone, 

Today I wanted to share a couple of the bags and boxes I made for Valentine's Day last week. The two I'm sharing were made for my friend Jennette, and the gable box was made for my husband. I had also made another bag for my doctor and then another gable box for my Mom. I used lots of fun Really Reasonable Ribbon flowers, lace, leaves, stamens, and goodies on these boxes and bags.  I really just enjoyed making them to give away, it felt so good!

The bags, they were up in my cabinets.  You know, I had these for a long time, they were kinda flimsy, but after adding the good design paper around them they ended up being super sturdy and very very nice bags, strong enough to hold a heavy large chocolate candy kiss and several other items.

Adding Paper- after  gluing and using Scotch tape runner and 5/8" Scor-Tape (helps to keep paper on WELL)  to put my paper on, I added the beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon Gabrielle Off White Lace. I also used the beautiful Pearl Pink Delicate Satin Ribbon to create a beautiful big bow, then added the darling Strawberry Brownie Stitch grosgrain ribbon on top of that. I then made my glass flowers using Cheery Lynn's flower dies (my makersmovement) and placed an 8mm white flatbacked pearl in the center of it.

Cluster of flowers and dies-

So I cut out a heart filigree piece using shimmer card stock, then added my white swirls (Cheery Lynn) and placed my Really Reasonable Ribbon White Leaves, Chelsea Rose, Rose buds, Stamens, carnation, Sweetheart Blossoms and such by using hot glue. The CottageCutz Hedgehogs were colored using Copics and then placed using RRR foam tabs. I really had so much fun decorating up the bag here. I will link all supplies used below from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store.

For the Gable Box for my husband I used more of the Really Reasonable Ribbon supplies listed above but added all reds and browns to this one, and a tad of pink. I made him a cute little coupon book for a dinner out, movie out, free lawn mowing, and back rub :) also there are lots of chocolates in the box and a gift card. The rose was from the roses he had sent to me, I figured it would be nice in the photo.

I hope you enjoyed my post for today! Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely rest of the week!

Sweet Fox Valentine Candy Pocket

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! Today I have these darling Candy Fox Heart Pockets I made using all heart shape die cuts, and Really Reasonable Ribbon, and embellishments.  I made 12 of these to give at our Doll Club Meeting for February, for a Valentine's Day exchange. I thought they would be cute and fun to give to the ladies. I really enjoyed making these, and thought next time I will have to try to make some Kitty Cats maybe, they would be super cute too!

To start with I cut out 24 large hearts, remember they are pouches to hold a candy, so the back is the same as the front. I then glued the edges together to create 12. Next I took a smaller heart and cut 12 white for the fox's face, and cut it in half, and then cut a little off of it, and glued it down to the top. I thought, wouldn't it be darling to have the eyes heart shaped as well, so I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's Heart Shaped Pearls, and then added the black to the centers. Now if you have those black pearls really small, you can use those, but I had the viva pen, and used it. The tip isn't working so well on it, so the dots don't come out as great as they used to, but it worked., Next I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's White 8mm pearl, and colored it black for the nose. The ears I used 2 different sizes of hearts, and then made 2 different bows and added a flower to the center. Love making these darling foxes, they were so fun. Next I am going to try to make some kitty cats, I think they would be so darling too!

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies used:
8mm flat backed Pearl
11mm white pearl bead heart shape
10mm Resin flower
Ribbon Club assortment for the bows
Delicate Stitched Ribbon
Scotch Advanced Tape Refill
Saved Wire from all the Mulberry flowers

Other Supplies:
Heart dies
Viva Pearl pen in black
branch punch
design paper
candy
glue gun
wire from flowers

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, and thank you for stopping by!

Hugs to all,
Cheryl
