My Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Well I got them all done and I am really happy with how this years teacher appreciations gifts turned out. I almost did not get them done... I don't know what I was thinking but I was planning to finish them up tomorrow when all of a sudden it dawned on me that I need them ready for tomorrow!!! lol 

Here is a video that I posted on my YouTube  but I thought that I would also share it here too :)

I also took some close up pictures of them.

This is the card I made, inside it says Teacher!! 

I know that my boys are excited for summer, and it has been a very late night for them (Bobby just came down to tell us something!!it is 10:31!!) so they will all be very tired in the morning for sure...lol 

Thanks for stopping by,

Working on Some Cards

Hi there, today is the 3rd last day of school of my two older boys, so I have busy at my craft table making some end of the year teacher appreciation gifts.
Usually we get gift cards to Tim Hortons but this year I saw some cute card sets while browsing on Pintrest, so I decided to attempt some gift card sets for them instead!! :)

Here are some parts for the cards, I have created a little assembly line to put together the apple on the scallop circle...




It has been a very hot couple of days so I have enjoyed sitting in the basement cooling off making up all these cards. I am trying to see how long we can go without turning on the AC, and so far it's a little hot but good...lol

Over the next couple of days I will post the finished cards :)

I hope your having a great day

Fun With My New Stamps :)

A couple of weeks ago I joined the Stamps of Life Stamp Club. The club is pretty fun because every month on the first they mail you a new stamp set!!! I joined right at the end of May so I received May stamps and I also ordered a butterfly stamp set too. Since then I have also received the June stamps and I have been having so much fun with all three new stamp sets!!! :)

The first card was created using the butterfly2build stamp set:

The next cards were from the lemonade2drink stamp set:

For the lemonade I stamped out the cup on some white card stock and then stamped it a second time on some yellow and then fussy cut them out. I added some glitter on the yellow and then layered on some of the ice cubes that I had cut out.

The patterned paper is from a Classic K paper pack and then added a brown bow.

I created this card two times because I stared off making the green one and then I wondered if limes were sour or if it was just lemons...lol 

I stamped out the lemons with some Memento Tuxedo black ink and then I coloured them in with some  Inktense pencils. I love how bright they turned out; they will be great to send them out to my Nephews!! 

The last card I made was with the phone4you stamp set:

I used my Cricut and the Elegant Edges cartridge for the fancy square and a punch to cut out the little hearts. I am always looking for a place to put glitter so I added some to  the two litter hearts :)  

I stamped the background with the little cord from the phone and then distressed the edges of the card with some Broken China Distress ink.  

I am already looking forward to July's stamps :) :)

A Mini Album for my Mom

Hello, I hope everyone is having a wonderful night tonight. It is rainy here so I have been busy making and filming some videos for my YouTube channel thecraftnut32. 
Tonight I am here to share a video of a mini album that I made for my mom, she is giving as a gift to one of her good friends.  This mini was really fun to make and I am really happy with how it turned out :)
