Pop 'n Cuts Build a Bear!

 

Recognize this?  It's the dress Pop 'n Cuts card!  I adhered a Top Note "sleeping bag" over the dress part.  The bear can be taken out and used as a bookmark, or just add a magnet to the back of her to dress up your fridge.  

 

This is what it looks like closed.  You can JUST see the top of the bear's head!

Halloween Favorite!

We made this card 2 years ago in my stamp club and it's a classic!  I still see it get pinned a lot on Pinterest.  The bat and the ghost are both made from the owl punch, the pumpkin from an oval punch, and the moon from a circle punch.  Can you tell I love punches?

Halloween Waterfall Card!

These waterfall cards are so much fun to make!  And not as hard as you'd think...

Festive Flurry meets Winter Frost!

I love these snowflake stamps and their coordinating framelits! I used a lot of dimensional on this one!  The new paper is called Winter Frost and I love these non-traditional Christmas colors!  The embossing folder is called Stylish Stripes and the pretty embellishment in the center is called Frosted Finishes. 

 

Petite Purse die meets Frankenstein!

I made this cute little box last year at the house of another Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  He's so adorable!  I finally made myself give him away this year-it was hard.  But I know he's in good hands!  A brand new demonstrator on my team ended up with him.  Paper crafting and stamping is such a great hobby!  You create adorable things, while de-stressing in the process.  It's been a life saver for me!  Email me at christy@craftymasterpieces.com if I can help you in any way with your crafting projects!

Festive Flurry meets Dazzling Diamonds!

 

This was hard to photograph, but I used the new Silver paper from the Holiday Mini with heat and stick powder and then Dazzling Diamonds.  With the fabulous new Festive Flurry snowflakes!  It's really glittery!  I used Baja Breeze card stock and seam binding (retired).  The sentiment is from Petite Pairs.  I love non-traditional Christmas colors!

Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit meets Circle Thinlits!

I was lucky enough to earn the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created kit for FREE for all my efforts as a busy Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Although, I'm grateful-I knew I'd never use it for place settings!  Martha Stewart I am not.  So I "cannibalized" my kit and made this pretty Autumn thank you card.  The leaf stamp is called Magnificent Maple.  I inked it up in Crushed Curry and then used sponge daubers to randomly add color, I used Tangerine Tango and Chocolate Chip.  The sentiment is from the hostess exclusive set called Simply Sketched.  You can see in the second picture that I left my card stock long when running it through the Big Shot with the Circle Thinlit, to get the extra panel.  It's useful when you need more room for writing.  I wasn't sure I was going to be happy with this while making it, but I really do love it!  Check out this kit in my online store by clicking here!

 

Matchbook Gift Card Holder-Masculine Version...

This is a fun and different way to use the Envelope Punch board-matchbook gift card holders!  I made a girly one the other day and now I used masculine colors.  This is the new Sweater Weather paper and burlap trim, and the leaf is from the Thankful Tablescape kit.
