Craft Space

I am linking up with Craftin Desert Diva to show my craft space/room. My craft space is really small, but has everything I need. This is just half of my space. I sew and stamp in this space. I have room to store all my pre-cut fabrics, and sewing supplies. The other side of the area you don't see has a couple of cabinets and stacked drawers to store my stamping supplies and more fabrics. All of my papers are in the two yellow boxes on my desk. There are four 6x6 pads in the drawer and that's it for my paper supplies. I went through about 3 years ago and got rid of a ton of papers and stamps. The small quilt at the moment is used to cover up my serger. The little basket next to it are fabrics that I would like to use for my next sewing project. I do have photos of my family and artwork on the walls. My stamp pad holder was made by hubby. As you can see, it's quite empty because I got rid of alot of old stamp pads and haven't felt the need to buy new ones. Well, that's a little peak into my craft space.


Paper Candy Dish Tutorial

As I go through to update my other blog I found this paper candy dish tutorial that I would like to share with you.


Paper Candy Dish Tutorial
By Kim Sherrod



Supplies:

12x12 Background & Texture paper (B & T)
Embellishments of your choice


Instructions:

1. Fold the paper with the printed side up in half on the diagonal. Open it up and fold on the diagonal again to form an X.





2. Take each corner and fold into the center.




3. Turn the paper over and fold the corners into the center again, the same as in the previous instruction. This will create a smaller square.



4. Fold in half and make a good crease. Open up and fold in half again the opposite direction, crease well.


5. Turn over again. Fold the loose corner over to about 1/8” from the outside edges of the square.





6. Place thumbs and forefingers in flaps and lift, making sure the center goes up. Place treats inside each pocket. You’re done!!





In the actual candy dish I decorated, I did the following:

Take the long reach punch and punch a hold in the center. Take the stamped and glittered Happy Easter rectangle cardstock and attach to the purple rectangle cardstock. Using wet glue, attach to a wooden stick and place the stick inside the dish. I stamped the eggs and ran it stamped side down through my xyron, peel off and poured prisma glitter all over the eggs, trim and attach to each side of the dish with glue dots.

Thank You

Hello Stampers! Today I am using a stamp set from SU called Easy Events. It's been in my drawer for quite some time. I could always use more thank you cards.

Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers! It's time for another fun challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown. As I was making this card and going outside to take a picture of it, oh the heat. It's so hot here. I am staying indoors to keep cool and craft :-)

PTT120 Best Wishes

Hello Stampers! Time for another fun challenge at Party Time Tuesdays. This week's challenge is "No Square." No square looking cards are in order. I had to really think about this one, because habit is just to make something rectangle or square.

Father's Day

Hello Stampers! It's time to start cranking out Father's Day cards. I didn't realize I had ran out of Father's Day cards. A friend requested a Father's Day card so I whipped up this CAS card for her.
