Oh My Cutie Pie!!!

Hello, my lovely and crafty friends!

I made a really cute little box

that I want to share with all of you!

Or if you like, it can be a purse!

It's really roomy inside!

It measures 4 1/2" x 4" and it's 3/4" wide

Here is a picture showing it holding 

six lip balms!

To make the box I started with a piece of 

pink cardstock  that measures

6" x 10 3/4"

I scored it at 

1 1/4" - 2" - 6" - 6 3/4"

from the top to the bottom

Then I turned it 

and scored it at

3/4" - 5 1/4" 

from the top to the bottom

Then I cut out the first two squares

on both the left and the right side.

I cut slits up the sides of both middle squares

as you can see in the picture above.

Fold on all of the creases and use sticky tape to 

make your box.

Then the fun part is decorating it!

I used Fresh Brewed Designs Cutie Pie in Clouds rubber stamp!

She is going to be on sale for a steal of a price 

$3.95

as Fresh Brewed Designs Brew of the month

on 

February 6th!

She will only be on sale at this very low

price for the one day on 

February 6th, 

so mark your calendars!

LOTS of hugs!!!

Have a wonderful week - 

See you Wednesday with our NEWEST challenge!

On Cloud 9

I think I am higher than cloud 9 as a matter of fact :D!

Speaking of cloud 9, why did we start saying that? 

a little lesson for us this morning: ON MY BLOG 

hehehe

I created this card using the Twinery colors Cantaloupe and Orchid. The rubber stamp is Fresh Brewed Designs Cutie Pie in Clouds . She will be part of a SPECIAL ONE DAY DEAL FBD is having on February 6th. She will be on sale for $3.95 .. one day only or until sold out. If she is sold out, I will add a new stamp to replace her for that price until the end of the day!

more materials: The blue dot paper is my My Minds Eye bright dot stack, the pink is making memories small pink dots, the yellow is PTI 2008 bitty dot basics. I colored little cutie pie with prismacolor markers and decorated her with glossy accents and diamond stickles. The epoxy hearts are by little yellow bicycle.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a lovely Thursday!

Warm Hugs and Challenge Reminder

Good Morning. 

The weather has been so weird here. One day it is cold and the next it is in the 70s. It looks like we will have a warm Christmas again this year reaching near 70 degrees.. but it is supposed to be rainy :(. We can't have it all, can we, lol!?! I won't complain. I can say that it does not FEEL like Christmas without the crisp cold wintery air. So whether it is freezing cold or nice and warm where you are, I do hope you have a very lovely and blessed Christmas with your family and friends.

As for Cutie Pie, She is happy to be in the chilly weather. 

She loves ice skating and playing in the snow!

I created this card using the Fresh Brewed Rubber STamp

Cutie Pie Ice Skating

I paired her with a pastel pink and blue combo. I tried to add a little warmth by using felt die cut embellishments and a little more sparkle by adding the glitter coated snowflake brad.

We have several digital stamp categories that are on sale until the end of the month,
so stop by the shop and get yours before the sale is off.

Mysterious Monday

Who on this dt got us in the theme of 'naming our days' here in our posts :D hahah! 

I love it!!!

Sometimes I spend more time trying to think of a title than I do on the entire post. 

I wonder if anyone even reads the title :D hehehe! 

I usually can't think of anything witty or creative, so maybe that is why you don't see it :D hehehe!!!

I chose mysterious for today because my card mysteriously opens into a fun fold! 

hahaha!!! I told you I am not creative when it comes to titles :D

Anyway, I am here with a card as a reminder of our

MONTH LONG PRIZE CHALLENGE :Pumpkins

and our weekly challenge

Fancy Folds

I chose to use Cutie Pie Pumpkin for this card *she is on sale for this month only btw!*

My fancy fold is the Double Z fold found here at Splitcoast Stampers

Here is the front of the card:

 and here is the inside:

I had a lot of fum making this card. 

Stop by my blog later today for more information on what was used to create this card. 

Have a wonderful Monday!

thanks for stopping by.

Too Cute Tuesday

Good morning everyone! 

I am back today to share with you a cute little card I made using the

Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp: Cutie Pie Swinging. 

Doesn't she look like she is having a fun time swinging from the little clouds over a bed of lollipop shaped flowers?!?  Her wings and shoes and little lips were painted with Inspirations Paint: fairy dust. I LOVE this paint! It is so shimmery and dries SO quickly. I can paint my project, come back within just minutes and it is dry and ready to go! Just don't forget to rinse your paintbrush as soon as you are done :D.

Now for the UPDATES:

It is August, and that means it is a BIG week for us at FBD. The first week of the month is always that way :D and we love it!!! We started off with some really fun things... Things you may have missed:

Things coming up

 Fresh Brewed Designs Cutie Pie Butterfly rubber stamp

(if you have already been to my blog and seen this card, forgive me... it is a repost)

I created this card this week for a few challenges and am sharing it with you today for a few reasons:

1) I thought you could use something happy and sweet to start your Monday

2) as a reminder of our MONTH LONG PRIZE challenge

• 2 patterned papers, 2 embellies, 2 shapes

3)  the saddest news of all, because our sweet DT member Kelly has decided it is time for her to move on and step down from the team. Kelly and Jeanette both in fact. So Monday and Tuseday's will be taken over by the FBD team until we fill these Design Team places.

You can read all about the materials used and how this sweet card was created on my blog here: Strawberries are Sweet

a few more reminders for you

Happy Wednesday!!!
It is very cool here this morning. I really wonder about this weather lately. WOW!!! We had hail twice over the past week. I have not seen hail since I was a young child. As quickly as the storm came, it was gone. The kids thought it was neat and a little scary. ;)
Anyway ~ You are not here to listen to my little stories, you are here for the next Freshly Brewed Challenge!!!

This week we are simply asking you to create something
RED WHITE and BLUE
*you can use other colors, but mostly these*
