Sherri Baldy's My Besties presents The Magical Sparkle and Snowflake YouTube Video Hop

Once a month or more.. (seems to be more) I will be making You Tube videos for Sherri Baldy's My Besties.  You've probably seen some of my videos in the past, now i am doing it for the Design Team.

Starting today Nov. 15 we are having a YouTube Video Hop..please check out all of the prizes and info under my project..

For the video hop i made this Canvas framed art using image 0003

another view:

How did i make this framed art?  I flipped the canvas and used the back side for my shadow box frame.  I cut out the My Besties image and glued her to the canvas.  Then i used Mod Podge Dimensional and sprinkled glitter around the image.

I have also used several embellishments from a great store called Creating with Details.  the flowers and the beaded flower is from this store, along with the pretty lace on the bottom.

The wooden snowflakes are from Michaels.

the banner is a punch from Fiskars, i am not sure what corner die that is though.

Day Two of the Sherri Baldy's New release- Santa Printable Tags!

Day two of Sherri Baldy's newly released Printable tags.  These tags are available at Scrapbook Stamp Society here.

You might be thinking..what am i going to do with a tag??? ... well let me show you some ideas and then hop on over to the My Besties 3D Challenge Blog where the team has even more ways to use your tags!


Today, i used the tag as is and just embellished it and taped it to a card.  Again a great way to use this tag as an embellishment!

This card happens to be a step card with an added twist..the cut out circle to give the look of Santa and his reindeer flying.  To see instructions on how to make my card you can go to another post on my blog here. 


For my tag, i hand cut the tag out.  Then i used a border punch/or you can use a die cut border on some designer paper.  Placed my tag on and then i cut around it. i also punched out the holly leaves and put the sentiment on top of the leaves.  This covers up the "to" printed on the tags. The tag below is found here.

The Christmas Vintage House is a My Besties image found here.

Sherri Baldy's My Besties Pumpkin Easel Card

I am now on Sherri Baldy's My Besties Video team on Youtube.  I will be making monthly videos, and sometimes videos more often than that.  This is one of first videos that i have released..but it isn't my first video using My Besties as my main focus.

This blog post is a follow-up to my Youtube Video making pumpkin boxes and an Easel card with Sherri Baldy's image

How did i come up with this idea?  First, a DT friend, Miranda created a present box easel card and she shared her instructions here and the desire to create these became really popular.  I wanted to do something different and came across a Pinterest post w/a video showing how to make pumpkin boxes using a Box board (similar to the Envelope board) and i really didn't want to buy the box board, so i went searching for a way to make a 1" box and came across another video on Pinterest showing how to make a 1" box.  I knew i'd like another 1.5" box so i asked my mathematical husband if he could figure the dimensions..and instantly he did.  Yay.

So i will share all the links below..so you can also see how i formulated this concept..and maybe you will have a better idea.  :)
