Birthday Sweetness and Light with Moxie

There is always a card to be made and Moxie Fab World is often my inspiration.  This week's Tuesday Trigger:  All Sweetness and Light was once again, too good to pass up as an inspiration for a birthday card! Below is the inspiration photo.  I needed an excuse to get out the felt die cuts from CTMH and just like paper, embellish them with ink and dew drops!

Tiny Treasure with TRN

This month The Robin's Nest is teaming up with Timeless Twine and I thought it would be great for a baby page!  I love to crochet and make baby quilts, so I look a little inspiration from a crochet blanket fringe to make an embellishment.  I cut the blue circle with holes using Cricut's Accent Essentials cartridge.  I then made a blanket stitch around the edges with Timeless Twine.

 I cut 2 inch strips of Timeless twine and tied them onto the blanket stitch edging.  It make this fast and easy, I used a crochet hook.  On top of the blue circle I stamped the "Hello Life" using Close to My Heart stamp set and pop dotted it.  I punched a yellow circle for a mat for the circle title.  I combined it with The Robin's Nest Special Boys tag that says "Little Treasure," for my page title.

I added the star and heart from The Robin's Nest Special Boy Embellies Package.
I cut strips from the Rocking Horse and Fleur papers and faux top stitched them with a marker.  I cut "Celeste" using Cricut's Chalkboard Font.  Did you know that every week Cricut offers free digital files for use with their Cricut Craft Room software?  The first week of June was Chalkboard Fonts, so I took advantage of the freebie and cut my title.  I embellished the title with Amber Diamond Dew Drops.  I love this look!  And Diamond Dew Drops are on sale for the month of June at 20% off!  No need for a coupon, they are already marked down!

A Special Thank You Note

I needed a special thank you note for my In-Laws, who just watched our boys so we could take a long weekend away for an anniversary trip.  So, I pulled out some of my favorite paper by Authentique's "Seasons:  Summer" line and some stamps and made a card.  So thankful for their help while we had a vacation!  I am going to enter this in Simon Says Stamp Challenge for this week:  Anything goes!

Be sure to stop by on June 10th to see a page made with the same beautiful paper line by Authentique.  You're gonna love the blue and yellow goodness for your swimming and summer pages!

The Perfect Strawberry Box for Teacher

When I first saw the paper strawberry boxes, I knew this was going on my To Craft list!  And I am going to enter this in Moxie Fab World's Gift Packaging Challenge.  And I knew how I was going to make the strawberry seeds:  Art Glitter!  I used the Close to My Heart Cricut Artiste Cartridge to cut the boxes at 6".  I used the Art Glitter Metal Ultra Fine Tip and Dries Clear Adhesive to make my seeds.  The glitter is 207 Spring Creek Ultrafine Transparent.

I actually made the basket ages ago for a design team try out (maybe Pink Paisley?) and then did not have time to make enough projects for the application.  So, I pulled it back out and matched the my strawberries and leaves from my paper stash.  The handle has been embossed with a Swiss dot embossing folder from Provocraft.  The heart border is a Fiskars punch.  I tied my boxes closed with a ribbon and filled them with Lindor truffles.  I was running out of room in the basket, so I cut a few extra leaves and just wrapped them on the red truffles.
I can't let this year go by without a special something for my son's teachers.  After Sandyhook and the tornado in Oklahoma, it is important to let her know she is valued.  I do feel it is a bit like Mother's day though...how can we thank them enough?!  Well hopefully, a little homemade gift and some gift cards will help them to know they are valued!

So Ready for Summer

I am so ready for Summer.   I can't wait to visit the beach and I want my feet to look their best.  This year I am planning on glamming them up with Art Glitter, my Cricut and Cameo to make glitter tattoos for a great price!  Today I am sharing my first attempt at my own glitter tattoo at the Art Glitter blog HERE.  And don't worry if you don't have a digital cutter, Art Glitter has ready made stencils for the perfect tattoos!
