A basket filled with chocolate dipped strawberries




I purchased MFTStamps Berry Box die and thought it would be fun to fill a basket filled with chocolate dipped strawberries as a Valentine gift for my daughter's teachers. Although it already came with the strawberry leaf, I Am Roses new White Flowers were perfect stained with Lindy Stamp Gang's Starburst Ponderosa Pine Olive and layered with a White Mini Rose. For the front of basket I added a gorgeous red rose and two white cherry blossoms on the side and sprayed them with Lindy's Glitz Spritz in Scintillating Silver. On the handle of the basket, I layered KARLAS001 flower trim then added a mini pink crochet flower, ribbon buckle and SaCrafters 10mm flat back pearl. I will fill all the strawberries with Valentine Hershey kisses in red and pink. You can also create white chocolate dipped strawberries and dark chocolate dipped strawberries. These are so fun to create throughout the year for any occasion.

Sneak Peek: AccuCut Locker Album Die

Hi Everyone!
I'm super thrilled to share with you my very first Locker Album Die I designed for AccuCut Craft's 2012 Winter CHA release. I enjoyed every minute designing this die and can't wait to make a ton of projects. You can create both a school/sports theme album or project with this die. As many of you know, I love creating a cover for all my albums and loved how it turned out. Then, I thought how fun would it be to create an actual locker with a mini album inside. There's so many possibilities and this is what I loved when designing this die. If you happen to be attending CHA, please sure to stop by AccuCut's booth #1875 to see the other projects I created with the Locker Album Die.

Favor Bags with Design Paper and Wax Paper



Hi Everyone!

I'm having so much fun making favor bags these past several days. I thought it would be fun to create a bag with the K & Company Engraved Garden design paper and layer it with a wax favor bag made from Wax Paper. I embellished both bags with a ton of gorgeous I Am Roses flowers. I loved that you can see the design paper through the wax paper. It give the bags a softer look to it. You can also use either bags separate as well. This create a wonderful favor bag to give to a friend. Listed below are all the IAR flowers I incorporated on my favor bags.
