Hello!!
I can't believe Christmas is in 5 Days!!
Where has this month gone!!?? I'm up on the Paper House Productions Blog today with some really AMAZING and FAST ideas for ways to create some Gift Wrapping for those SPECIAL Service people in your lives!! Paper House has Several Brand New Collections of the most AWESOME Service Papers, Stickers, 3-D Stickers you name it and they have got it!! They are just so NEAT and I though it would be FUN to use them for something other than just your Scrapbook Pages!! So I've created several different ways that you can use them for Wrapping a Special Gift!! We have also been teaming up with Plaid over the last couple of months so for an added touch of Interest I've used some of the AWESOME Plaid Paints and edged my papers with it for an extra WOWOWOW Factor!! I really LOVE the way it makes everything POP!!
I've used the Stocking Sizzix Die, Tim Holtz Tag Sizzix Dies along with the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board and a Brown Paper Gift Bag!! I LOVE how EASY and FUN it is to dress up Packages for Gift Giving and it looks like you've spent ALOT of time making them!! =) Just another way to get more from your stash of AMAZING Scrapbooking/Crafting Products!!

Hopefully this will give you some ways to make the Service Member feel even more SPECIAL for ALL that they GIVE during this Holiday Season!! These ideas would even work for Special Birthdays or Honors Events!! Don't FORGET to use those BEAUTIFUL Products that you may already have on hand!! =)
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a Fabulous Holiday Weekend!!

Holiday Mason Jars with Plaid and Paper House Productions Blog Hop!! =)

Pin It

Hello!!

I'm stopping in today to share the BEAUTIFUL Mason Jar Project I made using some of my FAVORITE Plaid and Paper House Production Products!! =) We are joining them in a Cross Promotion Blog Hop and you have some chances to WIN Big!! =)
I started out by using some Pink Folk Art Paint to paint my entire Jar until it was completely covered!! I ended up applying two coats just because I'm OCDC and I wanted it to be covered!! Then I took their AWESOME Sparkling Mod Podge and applied a coat of that over the paint!! WOWOWOWOWOW!! I wish you could see just how BEAUTIFUL this is in REAL life!! =) I tried to catch the BEAUTIFUL Iridescent Sparkle on film and it just doesn't do it justice!!  Then I took some sand paper and sanded off the words and some of the other raised detailing on the jar!! I then took some Paper House Productions Paper and created a FUN Tag for my Jar!! =) I added some BEAUTIFUL 3-D Stickers from Paper House Productions to my Tag and a Felt Bow along with a Junk Bow and my Jar was complete!! I think these would be just AWESOME for the Holidays to fill with ALL sorts of YUMMY treasures Big or Small either way they are really FUN and EASY to make!! The AWESOME Plaid Paints and Mod Podge dry pretty quick too so you don't even have to wait very long to get them made!! It would even be a FUN Projects to have the Kiddos help with as gifts for Teachers or other LOVED ones this Holiday Season!! =)

SO I hope you'll join us for this AWESOME Blog Hop and don't forget to leave a Comment for your chance to WIN!! =)

The Great Outdoors Blog Hop with PHP & Xyron!! =)

Pin It




Hello!!
 Today is the fourth day of our Great Outdoors Co-Hop with Xyron, and if you missed the first three days, fear not, you can still take a hike over and see the projects you missed. Not only do we have some great projects to show you, but you can win some great products each day from Xyron. You should also hop over to the Xyron's blog each day as well,  so you can have a chance to win some great products from Paper House Productions!!

For my projects today I thought it would be FUN to show you how you could dress up your Table for either THANKSGIVING which is just a couple weeks away, or for a party that ANY one would enjoy!! I actually had my Boys in mind as we have an Event called Deer Camp each year and I KNEW they would LOVE this!! So I started by cutting the 6x6 Decorative Papers from the PHP Great Outdoors Mini Paper Pad!! I LOVE all of the designs in this pad!! =) There are SO many options!! I glued the edges of my paper strips to the back of the Bottles using my Xyron Glue Runner!! I then tied some Burlap String and added alittle Distress Glitter for some interest and my Bottles were done!! Add a Green Stripped Straw and these will be AWESOME Beverage containers!!









For my Place Cards I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies from Lil' Inker Designs and folded a piece of  cardstock then ran the die through with the top cutting edge above the Fold line so you end up with a Folded Double sided Rectangle after Die Cutting making the PERFECT base for my Place Cards!! I then cut the Decorative Paper into strips and ran it through using the same die then gluing it to the Place Card base using my Xyron Glue Runner!! I inked the edges using Distress Ink and added some Distress Glitter then stamped the Names using a Paper Smooches Alphabet Stamp Set!! I used Simon Says Dark Chocolate ink which was the perfect match!! I then added some Burlap String and my cards were finished!!

For my Gift Boxes I used the We R Memory Box Pillow Gift Box Punch Board and another piece of  patterned paper!! I left it at the 6X6 Size and I think its Perfect for a Party Favor Gift!! I then inked the edges and added one of the Great Outdoors Die Cut Stickers and some more Burlap String to finish it off!! So I hope you can see that decorating for ANY Occasion is as easy as having the PERFECT Collection of Products on hand!! Paper House Productions Papers and Stickers and the Xyron Glue sure made it EASY!!

Hello!!
I'm stopping by to share two cards I have created for you today!!
I'm up over on the Paper House Productions Blog today and this week we are focusing on our AWESOME Die Cut Stickers!! I thought it would be FUN to show you how to use them on your Cards!! They are BEAUTIFUL all on their own, but you can dress them up and make them POP even more!! I've made two cards for today!!
This first one I've used the BEAUTIFUL Bright Colored Leaf Die Cut and have added just alittle Distress Ink to the Edges of it and then some Rock Candy Distress Glitter for an added touch and I LOVE how it just REALLY Shines!! =)

I started by covering my Card Base with the Tree Bark Patterned Paper from the PHP Great Outdoors 6x6 Paper Pad!! I then cut a strip of Cream Cardstock and die cut a Stitched Circle then added a Kraft Stitched Circle Die Cut to adhere my Leaf using some Foam Tape!! I added a THANKS Die Cut and some Distress Ink Splatters to the edges of my Cream Cardstock for some added interest!! A little more Rock Candy Distress Glitter on a few of the Splatters finishes off my first card!!

For my second card I started with a Woods PHP Patterned Paper for my Card Base and then die cut a Stitched Circle from some Kraft Cardstock and inked the edges and added a Few Gold Splatters!! I added my Deer Die Cut using Foam Tape for added dimension!! Then an Out Doors Sticker to finish it off!! I hope I've given you some FUN Ideas on ways you can use and Dress up your PHP Die Cut Stickers!! For more AWESOME Inspiration I hope you'll check out the Paper House Production Blog where the DT will be sharing Project and Inspiration ALL Week!!

Hello!!

I'm here for the Halloween Week Spooktacular over on the Paper House Productions Blog and I'm sharing the Sweet/Spooky Halloween Banner I've made for my Entry Way Hallway!! =)
I have a Ladder that hangs on the wall and I decorate it for the different Seasons, Holidays!! I wanted a Banner that I could hand for Halloween which is only 2Weeks away!! I started by Die Cutting some Banner Bases using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Large Rectangle Die from some Paper House Productions Halloween Patterned Paper!! I just LOVE this Collection of papers as there are some Designs with Glitter and I LOVE Glitter!! =) I then Die Cut some Stitched Circles using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Die from Cream Cardstock!! For the Letters I've used the Memory Box Letter Dies that I cut from Black Cardstock and ran through my Xyron Sticker Machine and then covered in some Glitz Ritz Fine Black Glitter!! I LOVE this super Fine Glitter!! =) I adhered the Black Glitter Letters to the centers of the Cream Stitched Circle Dies and then Glued them to the Centers of the Stitched Rectangle Banners!! I used a couple Different Packages of 3-D Paper House Production Stickers to Decorate my Banner and Bring it to Life!! I LOVE that there are SO MANY options available just by changing out the Stickers that you use!! =) These Banners would even make Great Gift ideas either to make or for you to put together as a Kit for someone!! =) The Holidays are coming FAST and this would be the PERFECT time to think about things that you could make or give as gifts!! =)
I then punched my Holes and Adhered some Paper Reinforcements so that my Banner would be more sturdy!! I used some Sheer 7/8 Black Ribbon as my Banner Hanger and then I took some 1in. Purple Ribbon and some Green Tulle Ribbon and an 3/8 Oragne Ribbon into 4 in. strips and tied them in between all of the Banners to create a FUN Junk Ribbon Banner look and I LOVE the way it turned out!!

What do you think!!?? These pictures don't do this Banner total justice as these Stickers are So Detailed!! I just LOVE them!! =) The Glitter bats on the Paper just adds that EXTRA Touch and I hope you'll consider making one of these for your Home or to give as a Gift!! It took me about 30 minutes to sketch out my design once I had all of the elements together I thought I wanted to use!! Then by the time I got everything Die Cut and glued together it probably only took about 3 hours to put it altogether!! =)  (I'm operating with only one arm so this might be subject to change if your ALL there!! HAHAHAHA!! )
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you'll go and Visit the Paper House Productions Blog to see what the rest of the Amazing DT has create to share this week!! =)
Have a Fabulous Weekend!!
