Be Mine Shaker Heart Card

Hello, Happy Tuesday! I have a super fun shaker card to share with you. I had done a version of this card last year using different colors. See the post HERE for the card I made last year.  I had a request to share some instructions so I figured I should make another version while I write up the tutorial. I decided to go with a different color scheme, something a little more manly. Although I'm sure anyone would enjoy a cute card like this.

Look at all of those sequins! Don't you just love a shaker card?!? I'm not going to go into too many details as I've written a lot of them out in the tutorial so I'll just share another picture.

I hope you like today's card. If you are interested in receiving a tutorial on how to make the shaker, please send me a message and I'll email it to you. :)

Have a wonderful day!!

Desktop Card Organizer & Notepad Holder - Craft Project Central

Hello! It's time for another fun project at Craft Project Central.

The Desktop Card Organizer & Notepad Holder tutorial is designed by Stephanie Purvis.

As crafters we all probably make a ton of cards. But when it comes to sending out those cards, sometimes we don’t get them out as often as we would like. We have to find the card, an envelope, stamps, address label, and even a pen. Sometimes that simple task takes a lot of effort and causes us to miss sending out a card! Here is a desktop organizer that can hold several types of cards, the envelopes to match them, and a drawer underneath that can contain a pen, stamps and even a few return address labels. This makes it so much more convenient to get those cards out! Everything you need is all in one place – right on top of your desk. This would also make a wonderful gift! Also in this project tutorial is a notepad holder to keep track of birthdays, events, or other notes!

Coffee Break Gift Ensemble - Craft Project Central

Happy First of September! Where has the time gone?? This year is flying by! But I'll be sharing some fun posts during the month of September. I've been invited back as a guest designer for Craft Project Central so you'll get to see all of the fun tutorials that will be posted this month.

First up is a Coffee Break Gift Ensemble tutorial by Liz Miller.

Some people firmly believe that coffee is life and whether that's you or not, you certainly know someone who feels that way.  With this tutorial, create a gift that evokes a feeling that is about catching up with good friends or just starting your day off right featuring the Coffee Café Stamp Set.  This would make a quick and easy class project or hostess gift!  Make one to gift to a friend or keep it just for yourself.  So, go and grab a cup of coffee (or water if that's your thing), and start creating.

Garden Workbench and Card - Craft Project Central

There is a new tutorial over at Craft Project Central. This is designed by Sandy Mott.

If you love gardening, or have a friend/relative who gardens, they would love receiving this adorable workbench and matching card. The workbench features potted plants and flowers, complete with gardening tools, gloves, and mud boots. The card matches the workbench, and as all gardeners know, a gift from the garden is a work of HEART. This project fits the bill. The workbench is a cinch to put together.
