Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Card from Creativation

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take the next few posts to share some of the fun projects I made while attending this year's Creativation Show. Creativation is a trade show for the craft and hoddy industry and is a LOT of fun to attend.

Today I'm sharing this fun card using stamps and dies from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps. If you'd like to check out more of their products, just click HERE for their website! I had a blast playing in their booth and trying to win one of their fantastic tote bags!

After stamping this beautiful flower image we used water color paints to color it in. Then we stamped the stem of the flower on the base piece of card stock in green ink. Then we die cut the flower with the matching die and used some foam adhesive to layer the flower over the stem. Next we added the cute little lady bugs to the background and topped them off with a pearl for added dimension. Then we layered our card as shown above and in no time flat had a beautiful any occasion card!

Thanks for stopping my my blog today, I hope to see you again soon!

Unicorm Wristlet with Kunin Felt at Creativation

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take the next few posts to share some of the fun projects I made while attending this year's Creativation Show. Creativation is a trade show for the craft and hoddy industry and is a LOT of fun to attend.

I'm pretty sure this Corduroy Felt from Kunin is one of my favorite discoveries at the Creativation show this year! Which is funny because I mostly craft with paper and vinyl. But there is something about the texture of this felt that I just LOVE! So I can't wait to get my hands one more of it soon so I can start creating more fun projects... Girl Scout Camp Projects anyone? 

So this sweet unicorn pouch is just a sheet of the Corduroy White Felt folded in half and hot glued along the sides, making sure you glue in the rainbow pom pom trim handle along the one side. Then we glued the white pom pom trim along each side. Next you will cut a horn, ears and eyelid/lashes out of pieces of felt and hot glue like I did above. Finally, use a piece of tulle that you accordion fold and tie off in the middle with some tread and hot glue at the base of the horn for hair. Finally just add some hook and loop tape along the top for a closure and you are ready to take your purse out shopping!

Hope you'll check back again with me again soon for more fun projects!

Hedgehog Block with Dremel Tool from Creativation

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take the next few posts to share some of the fun projects I made while attending this year's Creativation Show. Creativation is a trade show for the craft and hoddy industry and is a LOT of fun to attend.

Today's project is this adorable engraved wall hanging that we made using a Dremel Tool and a Wood Canvas! 

What's so cool about this project is that you don't have to be an artist to make some thing that is so beautiful! We used a coloring book image of a hedge hog and transferred it onto this wooden canvas with graphite paper. Then I just used the Dremel Tool to trace over my lines and it carved them into my canvas! To add a little pop of color I adhered this fun felt flower and now I've got an ADORABLE wall hanging. 

Just think of how simple it would be to create any number of fun pieces with just some wood and a Dremel Tool! See you again for more great projects soon!

Gorgeous Ecstasy Crafts Die Cut Card from Creativation

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take the next few posts to share some of the fun projects I made while attending this year's Creativation Show. Creativation is a trade show for the craft and hoddy industry and is a LOT of fun to attend.

This card was created at the Ecstasy Crafts Creativation booth and WOW is it gorgeous! I honestly don't remember the names of all of the products that we used but there was a flower maker that shaped the flowers so fast and easily with just a mist of water!

Instead of adhering the birdcage flat to the card I just did a dot of glue on the edges and popped it up for extra dimension.

It was surprisingly quick and painless to create this stunning card! I can't wait to share more projects with you soon!

Sock Monkey Coin Purse with Kunin Felt at Creativation

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take the next few posts to share some of the fun projects I made while attending this year's Creativation Show. Creativation is a trade show for the craft and hoddy industry and is a LOT of fun to attend.

Today's project is one of my absolute FAVORITES from the show! Shh, don't tell the others I said that! This adorable little sock monkey coin purse was made with the amazing new Corduroy Felt! I'm sharing the link so you can check it out too, just click HERE! 

Ok, now that you've looked at this awesome felt, back to my project... I cut the brown out for the base by folding my sheet in half and then cutting out the pattern (so you get 2 pieces, one each for the front and back). Then I cut the hat and muzzle from the tan corduroy. The mouth was cut from plain red felt and we cut 3 strips about 1/2" x 12" and then cut those in half for the pom pom. Just tie a piece of thread around the middle of your bundle of felt strips and pull tight. We used hot glue to adhere the layers. Basically, Lay the back piece down with the inside facing you, trace around the outside of the money starting about 1/2" above one ear and going down around the face to the other side right at the edge (leave the top with no glue). Then lay the top piece over it with the corduroy side facing you. Then glue on the hat and muzzle, then the mouth. A dot of glue on top of the hat for the pom pom and finally add some button eyes. To make the closure, you use a hook and look tape dot that already has the adhesive on it.

What a quick and simple project that is simply adorable! Hope to see you again soon for another great project!

Xyron Creativation Cactus

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take the next few posts to share some of the fun projects I made while attending this year's Creativation Show. Creativation is a trade show for the craft and hoddy industry and is a LOT of fun to attend.

Today's cute craft is this adorable little 3D cactus that was from Xyron. I LOVE their sticker makers and use them frequently in my craft projects. For this one we cut the cactus and pot out of cardstock. The cactus slid together from the top and bottom and there are 4 pieces making up the pot. We simply folded each pot in half, then unfolded it and ran it through the Xyron sticker maker.

Then we just adhere each folded pot to the base of the cactus all the way around. By the way, Beth Kingston (crafter extraordinaire and HSN craft goddess) was teaching this little make and take so I was trying not to go all Fan Girl on her, LOL! Next we used a stapler to add some spines to our cactus arms and finished it off with this adorable paper flower!

This little gem now has a treasured spot on my desk, it was so much fun to create! Check back soon for more Creativation fun!

Lawn Fawn Creativation Card

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take the next few posts to share some of the fun projects I made while attending this year's Creativation Show. Creativation is a trade show for the craft and hoddy industry and is a LOT of fun to attend. 

This first project I'd like to share today was from Lawn Fawn Stamps! They have the cutest images, including this adorable set of little birdies. We used Copic Markers to color each of the birds a different color of the rainbow. The image was die cut using a matching die set from Lawn Fawn. Then we just used some foam tape to pop the image up after stamping "So happy for you" on our base cardstock piece. Then we mounted this on a die cut piece of black cardstock as a mat. All of this was adhered to the front of the card over a rainbow striped piece of patterned paper. Such a fun and easy card to make that only takes a few minutes!

Just imagine all the ways you could change this up for different occasions! This one would be great for birthday, graduation, new home, or just anything that needs a little celebration!

Check back soon for another great Creativation project!
