Spring is here!

My sisters and I have been busy getting ready for a craft fair at the end of April at USM (University of Southern Maine in Gorham) and also trying to do some more items for Easter at our area at Cole's Corner in Wells. Here are some Easter items above and below. I love the wreath for someone's door. The cute chicks are made with pom pom maker!

Love making these flower filled envelope/cards for Mother's Day. These are headed to the craft fair. They are made with the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board. I think I may make another one with a yellow color theme. They can be used for any occasion. Birthdays would be perfect too!

March Birthdays

This style card, Multi Diamond Panel, is a new one for me. I have made 3 of them with the same paper collection from Kaisercraft. Here is the tutorial from Mixed Up Craft with Sam Calcott, Here are the other cards I made with the same collection for March Birthdays.

Sisters' Designs have been accepted to the University of Southern Maine in Gorham for their spring craft fair at the end of April. Here are a few items that I have been working on for the fair. Spring is in the air!

This is a can that I crushed on the end and then wrapped with dropcloth material and decorated. I think I will keep this one. There have been a lot of these cans done on Pinterest so keep your tin cans!!

Fun February

Triple point card style for a friend's birthday, is a fun card to make. I used Graphic 45's paper collection for the card. Love making different style cards and there is always one to find on Pinterest. I have made this style before for a someone's birthday. The inside of the card is cool too!

The next card that I made for a friend's friend is a wiper card. It is cool how the tab just pops up! How fun is that!

Lastly, my sister and I had a custom order to make rosette Christmas Trees. They are so adorable and I used mostly Christmas paper from Graphic 45 - 12 days of Christmas. It is such a beautiful paper collection. Can't wait to deliver them. We made 4 of them. Now to begin March Birthday cards.

More Birthday Cards & Projects

This is a new style card for me to make with cupcakes and candles for a 6-year old girl's birthday card! This is called a Center Pop up Step Card by Iced Images. I have made many cards from her tutorials and she does a wonderful job explaining it all. Here is her link to this style card at

This is another February birthday card I made for my daughter's friend, Nelson. It is a step card with the theme of camping/hiking which is his favorite thing to do!

Happy Birthday to Emily and Nelson! I have started making some Easter projects for our booth in Wells, Maine.

Love making these signs for the front door. Whether it says "hello" or "welcome", they are fun to make. This one is a wooden circle that has been painted and added flowers, ribbon and wooden "hello" word with a bird mould from IOD.

I have quite a few corks and thought it would be fun to make an Easter display/bowl (like I did for Valentine's day, see previous post) with the corks that I had left. Added a bunny that I had in my stash and decorated a wooden Easter egg that I have too. I thought it came out pretty cute. This is a great alternative to an Easter basket, right? I am still working on some more projects both wall signs and Easter centerpieces! Check back in a few days to see what I have completed. Thanks for stopping by!

February Birthdays!

Love these pop up double tier cards especially for birthdays, and I love adding a photo! I made 2 of these for a friend's husband and my brother in law who's birthday is at the end of the month. Both of them, have a love affair with their cars! Below is the picture that I made for my brother-in-law. Did I mention that he is turning 70? Happy Birthday Tom & Sandy!

My sisters and I have changed up our booth at Cole's Corner in Wells, Maine and below are some pictures. We have added some of our crafts for Valentine's day which is a week from today!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Crafting

I love having a theme to make a birthday card for someone. This one is for my husband. He can't start a day without his coffee! Love this set from Stampin up "Coffee Cafe". It has been used a lot! The bridge style card is an easy one to make and worked perfectly! Happy Birthday to my best friend who happens to be my husband, lucky me!

The coffee bean stamp is so cute! My husband pointed out that it looks like lips! I think so too!

I have been doing some crafts with my pom pom maker. Love all the ideas on Pinterest especially the bunny bottoms! They are so adorable! It was easy to make two cute chicks with Easter eggs for Easter and little gnomes with their hats for anything. Lastly I made a vignette with a pom pom bunny in a garden that says "Hello Spring"! Can't wait for spring! I also made the carrots for the little bunny. It won't be long before spring is here!

January Birthdays

Love making tent cards! This one is for a student of my husband's who shares the same birth date as him. January 20th is a popular birthdate for many people we know! Tia always remembers Mark's birthday and she is married now and has children of her own. She is a special lady! These polar bears represents winter and they are so cute, had to use them for her birthday card. Happy Birthday Tia!

This past summer I have been making these tower cards. It gives you panels to decorate. This card is a for friend from high school who has a birthday next week. Graphic 45 Fairie Dust is a favorite paper collection and it is so pretty. Love the purple! Below are more pictures of the card. Happy Birthday Betti!
