December Class

 December is a such a wonderful time of the year, full of traditions and the making of memories.

To help to make your December easier, I have created a new class for the entire month.  In this class, you will learn to make Origami Trees, beautiful bows, decorative stars and cards using up leftover cardstock and Designer Series Paper you may already have on hand.  


And if you need any of the supplies, they are listed below:

Also included in the class are instructions for making an origami star - perfect for present tags, table decorations, and anything else your imagination can dream up!


Here is the supply list


Wouldn't it be great to always have a bow to make that present look perfect?  Well, you can - by making your very own with whatever paper you have on hand!  You can also make them as big or small as you want.


Here are the supplies I used:


And, finally, to make great use out of those scraps of Designer Paper you may have laying around, I've got ideas you can use to create cards with them.


Here is a list of supplies used for these cards:


Thanks for spending some time with me.  Hope you enjoy some craft time today!

Fluffiest Friends Coloring Fun with Die Cuts

Today, I had fun coloring with the Fluffiest Friends stamp set and using the die cuts that coordinate with the stamp set.  


Everything about this stamp set is adorable and the die cuts make it so there's no fussy cutting for this cutie!

I ended up making six of these cards since they were so easy to make and I simply love coloring!


Do you love to color, too?  Please tell me that I'm not alone!

Here's a video about this card:
