MFP January Blog Hop Day 3

Hello! Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's January Blog Hop!

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are:

Love Remains Featured January 17
Cowgirls Rule Featured January 18
Sending Happy Thoughts Featured January 19

You Are Cherished Featured January 20

Please hop along with us! You have a chance to win one of the above stamp sets! Just comment on the following blogs (don't forget this one), each day for more chances to win! (You do NOT have to comment on all the blogs each day! The names are drawn randomly!)We will announce all four winners on January 21, 2012 on the Mark's Finest Papers blog. You can go back and comment if you missed a day. (HINT: The more you comment, the more chances you have to win!) The winners will be chosen at 11PM EST on Friday January 20, 2012.

And here is my project!

Again, I was aiming for simple, I wanted to let this gorgeous image speak for itself! Here is the low down, cut backgroud paper to 4x6. Cut white cardstock (MFP's white cardstock is the thickest, nicest, wonderful to color on cardstock that I have EVER used...EVER!) to 2.5x4.5 and stamp the image and sentiment in black. I then got out my handy dandy aqua brush and ink pads and colored this baby the old fashioned way! Dipping and coloring! YEAHHHH BABY!!! So I was thinking that before I give this little bit of home decor to someone I'm going to write a little note, something like, "This is my way of saying..." or if you choose to use the word "Hi" instead you can write something like, "Every time you walk by, thinking of me saying..." Corny I know, but to be honest...I LOVE corny!

So there you have it...day 3's project! Tomorrows is SUPER cute, so come on back! Can I just say that I love you guys! I do, it's true!

Now go, check out the rest of the DT's awesome projects!

Creations By AR March Release

Hello ladies and gents! It's time for Creations By AR template release, so grab youself a cup of tea and get ready for some smashing templates! All puns intended! hahahaha I crack myself up!

The first template is for the Tea Cup Cottage...as you have probably seen from other blog posts, this cute little house will hold a variety of teas! Well when I was making this little cottage my little3 year old girl was just screatching with excitement at how cute it was and so when I finished the basic box and she batted her baby blues at me, I just couldn't say no! So my cute tea catty has now become a doll house for Polly Pocket sized dolls!

Here is my beautiful little Bella and her decorated cottage!

And here is the house with Princess Tiana in it...good thing the roof comes off!

Princess Tiana is really enjoying her house...notice her beautiful flowers!

If this isn;t cute I don't know what is!


And for the second template! We have the Smashing box! I love love love this box...perfect for some chocolates for a neighbor, friend or co-worker!

Simply print the template, cut, score and glue!

I added a tag, the stamp set is called Just Dandy by Marks Finest Papers

And here is a look at the top of the Smashing box, it has a little hole and you can just as easily put a pen in there to add to your gift!



Now hop on over to the rest of the blogs and see what you can see! Good luck!!!

Random winners will be announced Friday, March 25th.

I love how it turned out! I have seen many packagings like this, but in the end I ended up creating my own with my own measurements. I love the little apron card to match, it has a little pocket for it on the other side of the cake box! I love that it already includes candles and a jar of Hundreads of Thousand (that's how they say Sprinkles in Australia!)

We went on a trip to Balos the other day and collected a bunch of sea shells so when I got home I made a little container to hold them...it's really a pasta sauce jar (reduce, reuse, recycle!) added some fabric, ribbon and a tag and voila...finished project!


I paper pieced Lucy's dress and then added a shell to her hand...I used three different sets for this tiny tag! {Baking Lucy}, {Beach Jena} and the {Beauty of Nature}.

I love making boxes...they pretty much rock! And they are useful to boot! I made this little box for a friend as a thanks for having us over...it was filled with chocolate!

But before I show you the box, I'll have to show you the card...cuz it's pretty cute too. Pretty simple but it get's the point accross!



I used my cuttlebig Olivia alphabet to cut out the "thanks" and then I used my only orange craft inks to color it... I love the pop of color it adds! And since we were going over there for dinner I thought the little table and chairs from the {Garden Gate} stamp set was a great touch!


And here is the little box...isn't it sooooo cute! I got the template from Mels Blog, and for the life of me I can't find the link now...I need to get better at saving it when I find it...poooo!



I super LOVE how the handles came out and I followed Lauren's Step by step instructions she has on her video but smaller...my clips and box were smaller than hers and I think it looks super cute, big or small!


Don't you think it's super cute? Even my friends son mentioned how awesome it was! hehehe Now that's the seal of accomplishment!

And here is the whole set...I even made a beaded pen...hadn't made one in ages LOVE them! I need me some more red tape! Good thing I have plenty of micro beads!
