Altered Glassine Bag Project
One of my favorite things to do is to alter things and customize them into something that I can turn into a gift for someone. This project is a simple one and could be used for any occasion. I made this one a birthday-theme, but it this little gift packaging could be part of a table setting, a party favor, small thinking of you gift filled with candies just to let someone know that you think they’re special.
The bag measures 8″ x 5 1/2″ so is quite a good size for gift giving of small items.
- All of the flowers, pearls and seam binding are from Wild Orchid Crafts
- The layers are from the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge and I ran it through my Big Shot using the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder. The oval is using the Nestabilities.
- I’ve paper-pieced the stamped image using Echo Park papers.

Hi Everyone, I first would like to apologize for not posting in a couple of weeks. My kiddos have been on Spring break, we did some traveling and of course had a wonderful Easter. It is soooo nice to be able to enjoy some nice Spring weather, isn’t it!?! =)
Can you believe it’s the 18th of April already? Wow, time is flying and Mother’s Day (here in N. America, anyway) will be here before we know it. The date this year is May 13th. I’m planning on sharing several simple Mother’s Day projects over the next couple of weeks. If you have any requests, please let me know. Otherwise, I have a list of things I’ll work off of.
So, for todays card, I’ve used Hats from I Brake for Stamps. It has a vintage, Victorian feel to it so I went with a more muted color scheme.
The card measures 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.
I’ve used my Letraset Promarkers to color in the hat and stands.
Of course, I had to add my favorite Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. I’ve also used a metal filigree corner, seam binding and lace from WOC. The charm is from my stash and finally, the paper collection that I’ve used is the Miss Caroline “Fiddlesticks.”
I mentioned in the blog title that this is meant to be a Mother’s Day card, but it would also make a great birthday, get well, thinking of you, etc.
If you have any questions, let me know. xx
A Keepsake Wedding Mini Album
Hi Everyone, I’ve been working on this mini album for the past week or so and today, I finished it! =) That’s always a good feeling. I’m really happy with how it came together. Especially since monochromatic colors are not an easy color scheme for me to use. It was a lot of fun, though.
Please be sure and click on each of the photos to enlarge…
I’ve used lots of WOC flowers, bling, pearls, tags, metal embellies, die cuts, etc.
Products Used:
Wild Orchid Crafts (Tea Roses, Summer Blooms, Tulips, Gardenia Spray, Satin Bows, Sweetheart Blossoms, Organza Rosette Trim, Heart Pins, Heart Accents, Venice Lace Butterfly)
Scrapbuck.com was kind enough to provide me with the wedding tags, metal cake charms, key charm, etc. Thank you so much!

‘Dear Friend’ Cricut Card
I recently purchased the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge from Close to My Heart and have really enjoyed creating with it. It is more expensive than I wish it was, but I had been saving for it so it was kind of a planned splurge. This scalloped card came from page 51 in the manual; which I cut at 5.5″.
I’ve used lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers (2-tone Gardenia, 20mm Open Roses, Sweetheart Blossoms, rosebuds, a Prima pearl flourish, seam binding and a Crafty Secrets image on the front. Hope you enjoy seeing it. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks so much for stopping by today. xx
An Anniversary Card…
The card measures 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″. I’ve used my largest rectangle nestie to cut the image out and then cut a black mat with my paper trimmer. I’ve added some seam binding and a vintage-looking brad and a bit of bling. Hope you enjoy seeing it. If you decide to head on over to the I Brake for Stamps store, please feel free to save a bit of money by using my personal discount SAVE10ROBYN! It’s more fun to shop that way, isn’t it? ;-D
Okay, I’m off to go visit my grandfather. I always look forward to Wednesdays when we get to go to Toledo, OH to see him.
Thanks for popping in to see what I’ve been up to. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week. xx
Christmas Tree Bear
Hello Everyone, I wanted to share another of the cards that I made using the Holiday Bears stamp set that was just released today on the I Brake for Stamps website. If you are a bear person, you’re going to love this set!
I used my Letraset Promarkers to color it in and then I added Glossy Accents to the Baubles and Dazzling Diamonds to the boot cuffs and star to bling it up a bit.
The paper collection is the new Bo Bunny “Blitzen” Collection pack. The Cherry Blossoms, Open Roses, self-adhesive pearls, silk ribbon and snowflake charm all came from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Here’s the video:
This set comes with 6 bears that are full of fun Christmas charm each in different costumes. Take a look below…
