Final 3x3 cards for the mini pizza box tutorial

Did you ever figure out what I did wrong yesterday with my pizza box in the picture? It was upside down!! LOL!

Here is a video tutorial for the last two cards. Let me know if you give this a try! Happy stamping!!

Video Tutorial---3x3 Cards for the Mini Pizza Box

Hey everyone! I filmed how to make the first two cards for the mini pizza box. The cards are CUTE!! But my camera angle isn't soo cute! Sorry about that!! I know what I did wrong when I set up my camera, so I won't repeat that mistake tomorrow (Lord willing!!). Anyway, I hope the tutorial still helps you out with making these cards. I'll film the other two cards and post them tomorrow.

LOL! Oh, boy!!! I just noticed something funny with how I positioned the mini pizza box in my still photo. Do you see what is wrong? Leave me a comment if you figure out what is wrong with my photo!

If you're local don't forget my class on Friday! Until then, I hope you have fun stamping!!!

Mini Pizza Box to hold 3x3 Cards Video Tutorial

I want to show you how to make a cute box to hold 3x3 cards. It's a great way to present the cards to someone as a gift. They're easy and fun to make. Tomorrow I'll show you how to make some cute cards that match the box. When you're done crafting with me, you'll have a fabulous gift to share with someone!

Occassions Mini catalog card #1

Today I'll show you how to make a quick and simple card using products from the Occassions mini catalog. In this card, the embellishments and products do the "beautifying" work, so you can create this in just a few minutes. If you ordered the I WANT EVERYTHING product share, you have all the materials you need (minus the stamp sets) to create this card exactly. If you don't own these stamp sets, don't worry. In this design, you can easily substitute with stamp sets you already own.

If you'd like to order the I WANT EVERYTHING product share, you can do so on the right hand sidebar.

Tomorrow, I'll show you another fun project you can create with your new Occassions mini catalog items :)

Enjoy the video!!

Baby Shower Diaper Cake and Favors

Boy, am I tired!! The shower went great and we all had a good time. I snapped a few pictures before it started to show you the diaper cake I made and the party favors. I just used paper, some punches, one wheel and 1 stamp and made everything coordinate. The baby stamp I used was one that I got free from Sale-a-bration a few years ago. I don't own any baby stamps because who thought I would ever use them since I have teens. But this year I hosted 4 !!! yes, 4 baby showers (and attended 2 others). I've gotten very creative for those showers :)

The first picture is of the baby shower invitation.

The second picture is of a 12x12 scrapbook page that I made that we placed on the podium when we entered. The mom can then use that as her first page in the baby's album.

Anyway, in the photos, you'll see the diaper cake. The diapers are rolled and secured with rubberbands and each circle has a large rubber band around it. I covered those rubberbands with the paper strip. I had to cut several lengths of paper, then I used an edge punch, then I used adhesive to adhere the strips together and then wrapped around the cake. I then decorated the strips with punched stars and a punched baby poem centered on a scallop circle. I think it turned out cute! My friend, Amy, found a pooh bear to put on top and that was the cherry on top :)

The shower favors are 2-4-6-8 boxes. I have a video tutorial on how to make them. It's a Valentine one from last year. For these boxes, I used a retired wheel and decorated the plain white paper. Then I formed the boxes and filled with Hershey kisses. Then I put a scalloped circle stamped baby poem on the front that was the same as I used on the diaper cake.

I hope these give you some ideas for a future shower you might hold. If you have any questions, feel free to email me :)

Happy Stamping!

This is a short post today because I'm going to a friend's house. I made this card for my son who's in college. I have fun making him cards :)

Tomorrow's post will also be short too, as I've got a baby shower I'm holding. I'll show pictures of the diaper cake and shower favors I made :)
