May Mojo Crazy Birds

Lovin' these Crazy Birds by Tim Holtz!!  I used the same stencil from yesterday's card but they look so different.  Bird and balloon is watercolored.   This card will be in the May Mojo class.  Let me know as soon as possible if you are planning on attending!

January Mojo - Warm & Cozy

Here is the second card in the January Mojo class.  This stamp set 'Cozy Greeting', sweater texture stamp and die 'Sweaters' from My Favorite Things Designs are great ones for many different occasions for these cold winter months.  There are many different great greetings for you to select from from this set. Snowflake stamps are from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I also have a few more cards designed with these die and stamp sets in class to share.  Classes are the week of January 19 and are $15 for 5 cards here in my home in Concord. Check out the calendar above for the days and times.  If you have a group of 4-5 and want me to travel to you let me know and we can work it out!

Mittens Christmas Card

Here is another of the Christmas cards we will be making in the Nov Christmas card class.  I used stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs in the background with clear embossing powder.  The mittens are a die cut from Elizabeth Craft Designs. The stitched rectangles are from the new stitched rectangle stax from My Favorite things.

Nov Mojo Time!!!

 Yes it is time for Mojo Class again!!  Please let me know if you are coming as soon as possible since this is my busiest time of the year and I need to get prep done.  We will be focusing on Christmas for Nov mojo class with four Christmas cards and one gift card holder with envelope.  That is what I have photos of today.  Is measures finished in envelope 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" and as you can see in the second photo it looks like a gift when you present it.  The cover is made with all dies from My Favorite Things.  Love love love that  snowflake die cut!!  It is so beautiful no matter what paper I use to die cut it from.  The inside of the card is shown below.  It has a place for you to write your message and a place to add a gift card.  I love the new die cut from My Favorite things that has the dies to add the slips for gift cards in both directions.  It makes these so easy to make since they are both in one piece so you do not have to measure the distance between the slips before you die cut.

I have started up my Etsy store again to see what I can sell on it so check it out if you are not local.  I will be adding more and more to it this week and next so check back often.

This weekend I will be at the Gift of the Magi Craft Show at St Mark's Lutheran Church in Chesterland on Friday night from 7-9:30 and then on Saturday from 9-4.  Come check it out!

 

Here are a few more covered Candy bars I made for Craft shows this fall.  The penguin and owl die is from Elizabeth Craft Designs. The cross and greens dies are from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The ovals and snowflake dies are from My Favorite Things Designs.  I make these with a ribbon around them so you can slip in a tip, money, check or gift card for a larger Christmas gift if you like.  I also have slipped a small gift card on the back so you can write a few of your own words.  These are a big seller and I have quite a few different styles.  Last show I had people ask me to have some thank you and inspirational ones made to go along with the Christmas ones.

Friday from 7-9:30 Nov 7 and Saturday Nov 8 from 9-4 I will be in Chesterland (RT #306) at St Mark's Gift of the Magi show.  Friday night admissions is $5 and it will be a wine and cheese night for adults only.  This is my first time at this show and I am looking forward to it.  Stop in and check it out and say 'hi'!

Snowman Card in a box

This is a snow and snowman card in a box using a snowflake punch on light weight silver paper, a snowman die cut from Elizabeth Craft Designs and metallic blue swirls from two different dies from My Favorite Things. The larger white snowflakes are from Our Daily Bread Designs as are the words in the front.  The other words on this card are retired TAC stamps.  I think I made four of these for my craft shows.

Christmas tree & poinsettas Card in a box

This is another card in a box with a 5 part tree die from Elizabeth Crafts and poinsettias that I had made a long time ago from my stash (thing they are from a punch).  The tree has snow on it from a white Wink of Stella Glitter pen, it shows up best if you use it on darker colored paper.  The silver swirls are dies two different sizes from My Favorite Thing and are die cut from light weight silver paper.  I have three of these made for the craft shows this fall.

Chilly Cloze Pinnie

Here is Chilly the Penguin as a Clze Pinnie!!  Isn't he cute!!  I have include a photo from the back so you can see the magnet on the back.  This die (Chilly) is from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the tag and snowflake are from My Favorite Things.  I can order any of these for you if you like them.  This would be great to close a gift bag and write your mesage on the card to slip into the bag with the envelope OR you can put a gift card (or money) into the card and gift this as a gift alone.  The recipient can then use the cloze pennie on the refrigerator, file carbinet, locker etc as a magnet to hold a photo, message, note etc.


I will be at Lake Catholic Craft Fair this Saturday from 9-3.  This year I will be in the room next to the cafeteria so be sure to go through the whole show so you see me! 

Snowman Cloze Pinnie

Another cloze pinnie this time using the snowman die from Elizabeth Craft Designs and stitched circles from My Favorite Things.  Use it to close a gift bag or add a monetary gift to the envelope with note card as gift in itself.  See other posts for ideas.

Gift card cloze pinnies - Santa Owl

New items alert!!!  This will be a new item that I am making to sell at my fall craft shows this year (see my dates above under 'Where to find me').  It is a magnetic clothes pin (cloze pinnie) decorated for the holidays with a small envelope and note card the size of a gift card attached to the clothes pin.  These would be great to use on a gift bag to close the top and then use the note card for a card enclouser OR as a gift itself with a gift card or money added OR just as a small gift to gift to someone special without anything but your kind words added.  For this one I used the 'Poppy the owl' die from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the 'Stitched Circles' from My Favorite Things Designs.  The Santa Hat is a stamp I have had for a while which is cut out and off or an Snoppy image.  I will be posting more for you to see this week.

Modern Frosty Popcorn Holder

I usually decorate microwave popcorn with a traditional snowman look but this year I decided to give him a make over.  Here is my new modern version of Frosty.  He is maked from all die cut pieces and you can see the back with the gift card added.   You can get him or any of the other designs I have created at the Willoughby Hills Craft show this Saturday from 10-4.  Stop in and see me!

Penquin Popcorn

Micowave popcorn (Act II Butter) is always a great treat to put in a stocking or gift as a small gift alone or with an added monetary gift.  Here is one of one of the new ones I have made for this season's craft shows.  I think the penquin came out pretty cute!  It is made all with die cuts.  I always put a ribbon around my decorated popcorn so I can slip a small note card on the back and you can slip movie tickets or a small monetary gift. 

Come visit me this weekend at Willoughtby Hills Community Center on Rt #6 for my first craft show from 10-6.  Check out all of my future shows at the tab at the top of the page 'Where to find me'.

Graduation Match Box Cards

I made these graduation box cards for selling at the Willoughby's Farmers Market on Saturday mornings from 8-12 AM.  They have a removable card inside to write your message to the graduate and the box is meant to hold your monetary gift.  They can then be used for keepsakes for the grad.  The two die sets I used for the dies are from My Favorite Things/Die-namics and the match box is made on my We R Memories Envelope Board.

Suprise inside at Mojo Class this week
