Welcome Spring!

By
Well hello, there! Melissa here today with a fun spring home decor piece for you. Most of the supplies used on this came from the Dollar Tree. So, frugal and fun! The calendar says it's spring, but I'm not sure Mother Nature quite got the memo, yet. How's the weather in your neck of the woods? I can't wait for warmer weather and all that entails. If you'd like to know how I made this, please keep on reading.

Tip of the day: Don't be afraid to deconstruct ready made items and turn them into something unique and beautiful. These plaques were meant to be vertical, and I wanted them horizontal. So, I took off their hangers and made my own.

Recipe:
  • Wood shapes of your choice
  • Butterflies, and other embellishments
  • Ribbon, burlap, etc.
  • Fake/silk flowers
  • Paper, vellum, paint, etc.
  • Misc: hot glue gun
  • Letters, stickers, etc. to spell out your words.







I love how this project turned out. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. Thank you for stopping by the blog today and taking a look at my project!


Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Melissa

    This is awesome. Do you have this hanging outside your front door? How did you protect it from humidity?

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun! Tools mentioned: Misti, Neehna Bright Cardstock, Distress Oxides, Ranger Dylusions die cut, In Love Art Shop word die cuts, ATG, Prismacolor Pencils, premade cards,Fiskars cutting blade and trimmer, Zig color pens, Wink Of Stella, Alcohol markers, t-ruler, Westcott 0 ruler, 6x6 paper pads, Versamark, EK Success powder tool, 3d Crystal Lacquer, Tombow adhesive, Momento/Hero Arts black ink, Cricut, Chameleon Black Pen, Pencil, Grid stamping block, etc. For the mont

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
