Fun Gift Card Holder....



Hey there, thanks for stopping by. So we have had another busy week at our home- Now it’s my husband’s 38th Birthday, his Dad’s 60th  Birthday and his Step Brother Ben’s 30th Birthday so to celebrate all of the Birthday Boys' Birthdays (including Kyle who turned 13)  we had a wonderful Family BBQ. We are just truly blessed to have such a wonderful family (with quirks or course...lol).

So this week the girls over at Totally Stampalicious have brought us a 
3D Challenge!!!!!

I decided to pair “Going to Town Gus” with the inner of a toilet paper roll to make a super fun Gift Card Holder



The paper pack is from Teresa Collins and the ribbon is from RRR. I colored Gus up with my Copics, then I cut him out and popped him up with some pop-dots and added him to the panel that I already popped up. I finished it all up by punching out the sentiment and matting it using the same punch. I tied the ribbon around the gift card so it is easy to pull out.

Happy Monday- Thanks a bunch for stopping by:)

This week over at Totally Stampalicious Monday we have a 3-D Project! Challenge going on. It's usually around this time of year when we get started on making gifts for our Loved Ones so let's see what you're making this year!

I have made a gift card holder this week using a toilet paper roll and Going to Town Gus.


I totally colored Gus up using my Copics, cut him out and popped him up with some 3D Foam Dots and added a few layers with paper from Teresa Collins and then I finished it off with some wonderful red satin ribbon (from RRR).

Just a little reminder of the wonderful promotion going on over at the

Anything Goes & Margaret December!

Happy Monday all, I hope you had a great weekend. I know we did...it was my son Kyle's 13 Birthday on Friday so we got to do some family time in Edmonton and I'm glad we did. We haven't got to hang out as a family for a while now.

 This week's challenge over at the 




I decided to ink up Margaret December and get another Christmas Card done. She really cracks me up- the sentiments in this set are just too fun! 

I decided to color her with my Copics on Gina K paper (which is just wonderful- thanks to my new friend Donna that I met while cropping away last weeekend). I paper pieced her hat and the trim on her dress. I also went ahead and added a tree (Lovely as a Tree by Stampin Up) and added some frosted berries with my Spica Pen. Then I cut here out using my Nesties and layered her up with some designer paper from a Tereasa Collins paper pack and added some faulous ribbon (from Really Reasonable Ribbon-RRR) then finished it all off by puching out the sentiment and adding a red mat to it.


Be sure to head on over to the Totally Stampalicious Store to take advantage of an awesome sale going on now.

3D Frame and Ginormous Stamp Camp


I am joining my good friend Renee Van Stralen for "Ginormous Stamp Camp" on November 11th and 12th.


 I am teaching a wonderful shadow box frame from Pink Paislee's Mistables Line- we are using a ton of fun products including Tim Holtz Distress Stains, Glimmer Mist, UTEE, Glubbers and some embossing techniques. This frame can be used year round and would make a wonderful gift.

For more information and to sign up please visit Renee's Facebook Group




Hope to see you there;)
Happy Saturday;) 

I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. Today I just have a super quick post as we are off to Edmonton to celebrate my Son's 13th Birthday! Boy oh Boy....Time sure flies.


Anyhow, I have used the stamps set "Fishing with Dad" from Our Craft Lounge, as well as "Lovely as a Tree" from SU and the sentiment is from "Warm Words" from SU. As you can see I added my own background to the stamp...just to add a bit more color and depth.



Paper: Cardstock & Newsprint- SU, Gina K.
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Inks; Memento; Copics
other: clear embossing powder; Tim Holtz Ink Tool
