Hello, and Welcome Back!  I am so pleased you have visited.  I am in my 3rd week of designing for Not 2 Shabby, as their guest.  Have you noticed yet that all four of the the projects I've done are totoally different?  It was really easy to do this with all their wonderful goodies in the store. 

Today I have a little box to save your money for visiting coffee shops!

This is a simple project.  Let me explain how I did it.  First of all I used 2 of the new paper packs.

I punched a few flowers from the coffee paper pad and fussy cut leaves and cups from the new fall paper pad.  That was the first step is to get my self made pieces together. 

2nd thing was to ink all the edges of the box, 

3rd was to cut paper to fit the top and upper/lower sides of the box.   

4th I stamped little leaves from the coffee friends stamp set.  I used a Cathrine Pooler stamp pad that was very close color to the actual paper.  I did not want the stamped leaves to be a focal point, but let the sneak up on you in the background.

5th I added lace ribbon and jute to the bottom of the box, the a natural fiber ribbon to the top curled and glued.  Finally I added jute to accent the natural fibers of the ribbon and overall project. 

Now is the really fun part, Add your cut outs, spreading them around.

Now it's time for buttons!  Oh how I miss my buttons. 

The final step was to add some Nuvo Drops here and there in yellow on the ribbon.  Then gold in the middle of the buttons and last but not least, glitter gold drops to add to the base of the box for accent. 

I really enjoyed this project and it took me back to a time where I was doing cigar boxes just like this box, or doing the inside.  I went old school on this and it was awesome!

How about some coffee Gnomy?

hello and welcome back!  Today is my 2nd make for Not 2 Shabby!  This Gnome was a class and his was call Candy Gnome.  "Oh yeah, Not 2 Shabby has classes!!!!!"  

This Candy Gnome because a Coffee Gnome really easy.  I simply cut a cup of coffee from the paper stock, used a craft knife to cut his arms open in order to hold the cup.  Don't be afraid to be creative.

This is a superfold card.  and I do mean super folds.

This is the inside of the card with a pocket to place a coffee gift card.  It is a 4.23x5.5 A2 size card.

the left fold is a square with a half inch tab tucked under the base paper on the front of the the card.

the bottom fold is a rectangle with a half inch fold tucked and taped under the base paper on the front of the card

In the middle is a little card flap to write a message and when you close the right and left tab you see the Gnome.

Its actually very easy to do.

I do really apologize for the blurry picture...I don't understand what is wrong with my phone.  The last few photos taken have been a bit blurry.  I am working to resolve the problem.

Coffee?????

Hello, and welcome back!  For the month of September I am honored to be guest designing for Not 2 Shabby.  I had a blast designing my 4 projects that you can find here each week and my socials starting next week.

The September release is amazing!  You just have to check it out at Not 2 Shabby.  Hint the fall paper is just so yummy.  Today we are starting with the new coffee paper.

Where is the coloring, you ask?  I did my first card ever with out coloring a thing.  This paper pad is so fun you can design a card with just the pad of paper.  So super simple.  Inside you can invite a friend to meet you for coffee.

With the card being simple and super easy, I believe I will keep my post super simple.

This is my second favorite image of all times from The House Mouse Designs® It is so unfortunate it is in retirement right now.  I hoping Spellbinders brings it back!

It is a great coloring challenge image.  You have to color stone/tile for the background, wood floors, Broom and, even the pumpkins can be a challenge.

This time I added a new fold which I am now in love with for vertical A2 cards or any size vertical card

Take an A2 card with fold at top, like a tent.  Turn sideways, score in middle, the at 2.1/4 ".  This card fold is so easy and fun with larger images.  Decorate and you are done.  On the inside is a pull out note card...fall is perfect for a hot beverage gift card....just sayin'.
