Spellbinders Shaped Card!

 As some of you Crafter's already know, Michaels Craft Stores are putting the Spellbinders Dies on Clearance.The nearest Michaels is around 50 miles from my home. So I don't get to go as often as I would like.

But recently I went and found a few on Clearance. I was really excited. But was kind of Bummed that I didn't find a couple of the ones that I wanted. Especially one called Beaded Circle.

I had posted on the Facebook Group CUTTLEBUGing  (Awesome Group) that I was wanting it. 

A woman named Lori had said that she had seen one but didn't get It and that she would try to go back and see if they still had It. 
A few days later she messaged me and said that she had found It.

To tell you the truth I was in shock that It was still there and was so Super Excited. Was going to trade Lori for another Spellbinder that I had an extra of. But she said she already owned It. 
So Lori gifted it to me. Is she not the Sweetest to do that? So I received It the other day. 

So I just had to make Lori a Thank You Card and I knew that I wanted to use the Beaded Circle Die.

So here is the Thank You Card that I made for her. 

I used the Beaded Circle Die to make a Shaped Card. The Base of the Card is in white (There are Video's on you tube on how to use your Spellbinders to make Shaped Cards) and then the front of the Card I used a Purple Cardstock and Embossed It. 

I then cut out a circle in white using my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter and stamped It with the Stampin Up Stamp Set called Blossoms Abound and the Thank You is from the Stampin Up Stamp Set called Short and Sweet. 

I used Stampin Up Inks in -Lavender Lace and Old Olive. 

I think the Card turned out nice. I hadn't used those Stamp Sets for awhile so that was nice getting to use those again, But most of all I was Tickled to use the Beaded Circle Die for the first time. (I Love It!)

Not sure If Lori would want me to post her full name. So again Lori, THANK YOU!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a Great Day and Stay Crafty my Friends.   Mamaw Cindy

Crochet Mason Jar Cover

 Happy Tuesday to you, I just back from the health Department. Had to get a TB Test for work. That was Fun. (NOT). 
Hope you had a good Memorial Day and that you got to spend some time with loved ones. We went to a Cook out at my Sisters. Had a good time. Going to be getting some storms later on this evening. 
 
 My Grand Children have started their Baseball and Softball Games. I really enjoy seeing them play. My Grand Daughter has one later today. But will probably get canceled If we get bad weather.

Thought I would share with you what I made for my Sister for her Birthday.
I bought a Purple Mason Jar from JoAnns Store and Crocheted a Cover for It. 

I used Sugar and Cream Cotton Yarn called Potpourri. I liked the little specks of color in it. I added a Tea Light. But she can use It for lots of different things. 

Here is a link to the pattern that I used. In the pattern you are to Crochet all the way to the top. I decided to change it a little because I wanted some of the purple of the top the jar to show.

  Hope you all liked the Gift for my Sister and hopefully you will give It a try to.

Crochet Sunshine Doily!

 Hello all you Crafty Girls and Crafty Guys to. It's a Gorgeous Friday. I have loved the past few days because we have had cooler weather but going to be a little warmer today and the humidity is going to come back. I really don't care for the weather when it gets to hot and humid. 

Today I wanted to share with you the Doily that I made my Mom for Mothers Day. I had never made one before. I did have a little trouble with trying to understand the pattern. I kind of think the pattern may have been messed up a little. Not sure, but I figured it out.

The Yarn that I used was Peaches & Cream Cotton called Sunshine and a white cotton for the edging. 

This is the only picture I took of It. So It is when I was blocking It, So to get out any bumps. I don't have any pins so I just use tooth picks. Works just as good to me. I put Aluminium foil under it so when I spray it my box won't get wet. 

I do Love the yellow and my Mom LOVES It!!! She is doing one of her rooms in yellow and she said it will be perfect for the room.

Now I do want to let you know that the Pattern for this is actually for a Rug or Doily. I didn't make it as big as you can make it. 

Here is the link for the Rug/Doily-

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and hope you have a wonderful Day.

Sunrise Sympathy Card!

Hello,I haven't made a post since February. I know this is going to sound shocking but I just haven't been in a Crafty mood. I know that's terrible right? I did make a Book Mark last week  for my niece. She was at a Camp where you take time to get closer to the Lord. So I had made her a Book Mark to go along with her letter. It did turn out very pretty. Just wish I had remembered to take a picture of it before I sent it. You should have seen the look on my face when I realized that I had forgot.


So I am sharing a Sympathy Card that I made. I really need to make up several Sympathy Cards. It's just to hard to try to make one when you really need one. I have learned that from a personal experience.

This card has no layers. It's just one piece of Cardstock. I used post- It- Notes to mask and then sponged  Summer Sun Ink by using a piece of Cardstock to make a Sunrise effect.

I then stamped the flowers in Versa Mark and Heat Embossed It with Black Embossing Powder. I also heat embossed the sentiment.

It looked so plain, so I made some score lines using my Martha Stewart Score Board. I do think that helped it so much.

The two Stamp Sets that I used are Garden Silhouettes and Brighter Tomorrow. I had made a Card like this a few years ago. I thought it made a nice Sympathy Card.

Hope you liked my Card and maybe you can find some Inspiration from It to make some Sympathy Cards. So glad you took the time to stop by. Hope you can stop back by sometime. Happy Day to you all.   Mamaw Cindy

Your Worth Melting For Valentine!

  Hello, Glad you could take the time to visit. Getting this post up a little late. Wanted to get it posted yesterday for Valentines Day. But was having Issues with my Camera. 

And also My Small town has suffered a Great Tragedy. Just trying to get through the sadness and trying to make since of a senseless act of violence.  I won't get into detail. Will just say that Heaven has gained two Beautiful little Children. 

 It's really cold here today in Indiana and suppose to get a Snow Storm coming our way. Starting after Midnight.  May get 6 to 10 inches. Not looking forward to It.

My Grand Daughter ask me to help her make a Valentine Box to take to School. So of course I had to. I had helped her and her brother make some last year. She would have just taken last years but It wasn't looking to good.

After several Idea's we decided on doing a Frozen Theme. Well of Olaf anyway.
I printed out a Olaf I found on Pintrest and cut it out and to be honest I'm pretty bad at cutting things out. She tried to help me cut it out but my scissors was just to big for her little hand.

But I tried to let her do most things her self. I was just there as her helper.

We covered a Tissue Box with Blue Card Stock. The back is a piece of Cardboard from a Cereal Box and covered It with some Blue Heart Paper.

Used Pink Glitter Foam letters for the front. Says "Your Worth Melting For Valentine". 

Cricut Cartridges used-
Wild Card- Heart with Arrow
Winter Lace- Snowflake
Scarlett - Disney Pooh Font

Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch
and added Glitter Hearts

She Loved the way It turned out and said that Everyone Loved It at School. 

Again Thanks for stopping by and would Love for you to leave a comment and don't forget to Hug your Children or Grand Children and tell them you love them.

Bakery Card and Boot Cuffs

   Hi, Hope you all are doing well. Thought I would do a quick post. Wanted to share a few pictures of some things that I made for my Grand Daughter for her Birthday. 

First I would like to show you the Card that I made her.

It's a Card of a Bakery. She has been saying for a few years now that when she grows up she would like to have a Bakery and that she would call it Sweet Day Bakery.
So I just had to make her one. I had a lot of Fun making it and she Loved It.
 
 Here is a list of the things I used to make the Card.

Cricut Cartridges-

Sweet Treats  Cake, #8, Cake Stand and Tag
From my Kitchen- Cupcakes
Gypsy Wanderings- Window Frame

Stamp Sets-

Stampin Up Weathered Background- For Window Frame
S.U. Itty Bitty Background Stamps- For Cupcake Frosting and Tag
Foam Stamp Set-  Celebrate
Sweet Day Bakery- Printed from Computer

Tim Holtz Brick Embossing Folder
S.U. Scallop Punch
Baker's Twine (Honey Dew) from The Twinery
Stickles- Star Dust

Inks- 

Basic Black,So Saffron,Bashful Blue,Positively Pink,Green Galore, Lavender Lace,Yo Yo Yellow



 I would also like to share with you the Boot Cuffs that I Crocheted her. I was so Excited that they actually fit perfectly and she Loved them. I am going to be making her a few other sets in other colors. 

If you would like to try making some of these. I will have a link to Vanessa's Blog at the end of this post where I found the pattern for the Book Cuffs.  I did change the pattern just a little. 

On her blog it calls on Step Seven, you are to repeat steps 3,4 and 3 again in that order. I only did step 3 and 4. Which is a row of Double Crochet and finish It off with a row of Single Crochet.

When making these I had no Idea how big to make them and didn't want my Grand Daughter to know what I was making her. So to get an Idea of the measurement, I waited for her to fall asleep and I took a piece of Crochet Thread and wrapped it around her leg where I thought the boot Cuffs would be and tied It.

It worked,  Us Crocheters have got to do what we gotta do. Right?

Here is a link to the pattern.
