I made this fun little box for a workshop this past weekend. Spring is close, time for Easter ideas.

Cute, Huh!

Hmmm, How did I make this Nifty Window you ask?

Just scroll down to get my picture tutorial:

Cut out a Box #2 pattern.

Now Close your multipurpose Platform, place cutting pad on top and then add your pattern.

Add label framelit on the front of the box. Place cutting pad on top and run through the Big Shot.

Now it's cut out and you have a label die piece to use later.

Now flip it to the inside. Cut out a window sheet to fit.

Add glue dots or Sticky strip tape or Snail-a.k.a. Booger Maker tape!

Place window sheet on top.

Turn over and you are ready to go.

So, are you all staring at your stamp supplies looking for a last minute idea for Valentine's Day? Well, whether it's for your kids class or a lil' something to give friends or co-workers, this little treat is perfect.

I came up with this really simple idea.

On mine I gave thanks and handed these out to a few customers but the Valentine's Day stamps will be perfect for this item. The white strip (it's only a long strip of white and then forked) is only glued right where the fork in the tail is. It just slips right over.

Here is the cover without the belly band:

The inside:

Here are the dimensions on Confetti White C.S. so that you can see it better.

Length-  6 7/8"

Width- 2 7/8"

at 2 7/8 run the Simply scored tool over the C.S. and score. Turn the piece over and do it again. or just move it over slightly to 3 3/8". Very Easy

ENJOY and Happy Valentine's Day!

These ideas were from a class I had Today at a local library.

We have sweet candy ideas and a fun "quilted" card idea.

So easy and simple.

Are you ready for Valentines Day?

Enjoy!

A week ago today I had my Valentine Galore class with 13 guests at Caribou Coffee Shop in Downtown Lake Geneva.

Shout out to Deena-Heeey! Thank You again.

Lots of Fun pictures to share with you.

There were 4 cards and the Framed art. Unfortunately, I was not able to have the 4th card for this picture as I had to give it to my customer who was not able to attend the class.

A few items up close:

Thanks for being patient to see what I would put up for Feb. Special. It's been a very Long week. My 4 year old Addie has been sick with fevers ranging from 102 to 104.8 tonight since last Friday. We visited the ER Sunday night and have talked with Dr. friends etc. It seem she has a virus (unknown at the moment) and we just have to wait it out. Both my Husband and my older daughter are sick with Nasty colds. Me, so far, with out Jinxing it, I have managed to escape whatever crud is going on. Lysol and Airborne, Vitamin C, etc. Joy. Ok , everybody sing-"Joy Joy Joy Joy, Down in my Heart….!!! Seriously, Stay Healthy and Enjoy. Now I am off to hopefully a quite night.
