MY PROJECTS
DIY PERSONALIZED S’MORES KIT
How stinkin’ cute is this personalized s’mores kit?? I got the kit from Target and added some adhesive vinyl and voila! This would make a great housewarming gift or hostess gift for a summer BBQ!
BASEBALL THEMED PRINGLES CAN PARTY FAVORS
Baseball season!!! How cute is this Pringles can?
OFF THE MAT: TURNING RED MEI LEE
I love how this turned out- from her sparkling hair to the furry flock fur . Do you love the fur???
Details - 20 inch character in cardstock and using flock from Pink & Main; I mixed two different colors flock to get the right shade of orange.
ARTESPRIX SUBLIMATION PAINTS & BOTTLE OPENER BLANK
In this tutorial I will introduce Artesprix’s new line of sublimation paint and use the Artesprix Blank-Of-The-Month, a bottle opener, to demonstrate using the new paints.
DOC MCSTUFFINS LAYERED HTV T-SHIRT USING HTWE SKIN TONE HTV - WE CRAFT COLLECTION
HTWe - the We Craft Collection™️: 8 new colors of skin tone in heat transfer vinyl (htv/iron-on) now available!This printed HTV cuts shiny side down on the mat (but do not mirror) and then is transferred onto a carrier sheet. The colors are soooo beautiful 🤩.A bazillion thanks to Heat Transfer Warehouse and Poli-tape for working with me on this dream project; and to all of you who follow, watch, and support!!
CORD BUFFET MACRAME KEYCHAIN
I can’t wait to do this craft on Mother’s Day with my mom and my daughter. The cutest beginner macrame kit! You may see a few more keychains from me … it’s relaxing and addicting. And I’m constantly trying out new things ❤️🥰😍 … stay for the ride haha 😘
OFF THE MAT: BRUNO FROM ENCANTO
Bruno, Bruno, Bruno … he’s done! I started him before the convention and finished after coming back … and so I was able to incorporate adhesive flock from @pinkandmain after seeing this at @namtaartmaterialsassociation in Florida. It’s a lot of fun to work with.
Special thanks to @thecraftyblock for the shredded tassels to add to his shirt. If you haven’t seen her Bruno, you need to see what she used for his flip flops! Still my favorite part ❤️❤️❤️.
Svg file is from @thesaltyyankee !!! As well as the other encanto characters ❤️❤️❤️.
Next up is the candle from encanto with the new lights I found from @chibitronics 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻…
PERSONALIZED BIRTHDAY SHAKER GIFT TOPPER
I finally tried a new font . I really need to get into the habit of looking for new fonts because I absolutely love this one (@creativefabrica). And this birthday present was headed to a unicorn party.
ENCANTO 3D LETTERS
Isabela - she swings and is full of beautiful flowers … and I’m calling it a day. Also, I tried the gold flakes on cardstock just to create more of a border for the letter. I think I’ll be adding that to my projects from now on.
OFF THE MAT: ISABELA FROM ENCANTO
I had soooo many cool details for Mirabel that I was worried Isabela would be a flop. And I had already done Frida with lots of flowers. But I love how she turned out … looking like so much more than just a flat cardstock project. (And different from Frida cause I was worried this would look like a Frida 2.0 version).
OFF THE MAT: MIRABEL FROM ENCANTO
It’s all in the details … I love the raised glasses… the htv flock for the black in the shirt … and any time you have an enclosed area like the black butterfly, you can easily get rid of the seams running through by cutting a piece of black cardstock to add over it. In the end, with a 48 inch character, she will have probably a total of .5 inches in seams that won’t be noticeable.
GOOSEBUMPS BIRTHDAY PARTY DECOR AND FAVORS
Thanks to @paperhavenink for showing us how to repackage party favors to make them more fun and personalized!!! The containers are from amazon (links below), add a little ribbon and a personalized sticker label and you have a very complete party. The tutorials are below and this all made for a very Scary Seven birthday party 🥳.
OFF THE MAT: TEENAGE BELLE FOR TOGETHER WE RISE
Teenage Belle - she has her teddy bear which has a soft fluffy feel (flock htv from Poli-tape HTV) and her shoes feel like real tennis shoes (white htv). It’s been so much experimenting and adding to these typical cardstock projects. What do you think??? .
OFF THE MAT: TODDLER BELLE
Toddler Belle is 3 ft tall and pretty much seamless (only in the black areas will you find small seams). She has rolled flowers and lots of pretty glitter cardstock.
And there’s one more Belle coming … teenage Belle!!! Lol. 💙💙💙💙.
OFF THE MAT: BELLE FROM BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
I truly love this piece - mostly htv (just not the skin and the black). And I used streamers for the back for a cleaner look.
Her lips look more like lipstick (as opposed to cardstock) and with htv I was able to use two different beautiful browns for her eyes and hair.
OFF THE MAT: SNOOPY’S CHRISTMAS HOUSE
It’s done!!!! Snoopy with real lights and faux snow … it’s better than I had imagined ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for joining my live on Instagram where we brainstormed and came up with a better idea for the lights!!! This tutorial is broken up into quite a few sessions cause it was definitely time consuming 😝😂🤣… but so worth it IMHO 😁.
MY TOP 10 FAVORITE PROJECTS OF 2021
Starting with #10 … 3D letters and numbers. If you can believe it, both the 94 and 10k were done in January. Hitting 10k was so momentous for me back in January. I could hardly believe it and now sitting at 31k, I’m feeling …. Well … Sometimes I forget to be happy with my progress because of how often I’ve edited my goals and re-raised the bar… and then missing those elevated goals. I’m sure many of us are in the same boat. So here’s to kicking butt all year long and remembering how kick ass we’ve been the entire year. Who’s with me?
DIY LAYERED CARDSTOCK CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
This adorable layered cardstock ornament was a breeze to make but looks SO good when its done!
MINI AMAZON BOXES AND PACKAGES

DIY SANTA CAM ORNAMENT
