Happy Holidays Fancy Pocket


Hello everyone, today I am sharing a Fancy Double Holiday Pocket, with 2 tags that I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using different ribbons and laces.

I made my pocket just using a piece of 4 1/2" x 11 white cardstock, folded in half to make it measure
 4 1/2" x 5 1/2 
then used scoretape on just the sides to close it. Next I  covered the front with dp, and then cut the the Half Circle off the middle of the top, that way the bow could set there.

I cut my Confectionery pocket with a coordinating design paper from the same stack, then used the mini pom pom along the bottom and top of that pocket. I used Camille Lace along the bottom of my large pocket, and the netting and seam binding to create my bow.I had a lot of fun creating this Holiday Double Pocket.


Supplies:
Really Reasonable Ribbon/ Scor Tape 1/4"
Really Reasonable Ribbon White netting
Really Reasonable Ribbon/White Mini Pom Pom
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Camille Lace
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Sweetheart Blossom White
Stampin Up! Stamp
DCWV/Tis the Season Pack



Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,

Halloween Candy Container

hello everyone, today I am sharing a Candy Container designed for Victorine Originals "Round & Round" challenge. To create something Circle shaped.

For my container I used an empty Laughing Cow container,painted it black, then cut some Recollections dp, with spellbinders to layer. Next I stamped the Victorine Originals Bats stamp on the orange dp. My Halloween and pumpkins are also from Victorine Originals and can be found under the Halloween section.

The laces and ribbon are both from Really Reasonable Ribbon. and the Lil' Pumpkin sticker was one I had in my Halloween stash.

Beary Merry Christmas Z Tri-Fold Card


Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to all!
Today I went ahead a made one of my Z Tri-Fold Cards, and also did a video to share as well. I had someone message me asking about how to make this card. This card was super FUN to make, and I hope you all enjoy my video!


The ticket under the bear is a Unity stamp


I love the inside of the card as its perfect for writing, and adding photo's if you choose too.
Card closed Measures 
6 x 6
Card Open measures 6 x 18 inches. 
All my layers are 1/4" smaller than the card,
 so 5 3/4 x 5 3/4" for the red card stock layer
5 1/2 x 5 1/2" for the dp,
 this is for the front layer,and inside 2 layers as well.
Next the Z layer is 2 3/4"x 5 3/4 red layer , then the dp is 2 1/2 x5 1/2 I always do 1/4 inch smaller on my layers. 

Now if you are doing the inside pocket, you will have to cut a piece that is a little bit smaller that 6 x 6, then do your layers on that. otherwise your card wont closse.






Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hug to all!

For the base of this, I used a Maya Road album piece, and covered it with a shabby chic looking design paper. My image used is from Michelle's Scrapbooking and More. My bear was colored with copics and cut out.

Next I used the sweet Really Reasonable Ribbon Seam Binding in Pink & Blue! Buttons are also RRR, and so are the darling flowers. However the blue are airbrushed (Sweetheart flowers), and they can be found here

My stamp Sweet is a StampinUp! stamp and punched out with SU! punches. Lastly the edges of my piece were distressed using Antique Linen!
