Hello everyone! Nina here! I'm excited to share a quick way to custom-made a necklace holder with the popular Envelope Punch Board and the #MakeItGiveIt Sweepstakes - a partnership between Jo-Ann Stores and the National Military Family Association. Glamorous Handmade Necklace Holder Box We went all gold and glamor for our tree and gift wrapping this year. We can all use some glitter and metallic shine for Christmas, can't we?

I've shared a tutorial on the Flower Punch Board earlier here and I am sharing a quick how-tos for the...

Hello everyone! Happy November! Are your schedules getting busier and busier for the upcoming holidays?

Hello everyone! Popping in to share some fun I've had playing with the custom letterpress printing plates from Lifestyle Crafts / We R Memory Keepers. I love all the pre-designed printing plates  by Lifestyle Crafts, but I've always wanted to have some of my own.

I love that we have a few inks and some cleaning cloths to get started without further investment!

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season? Popped in to share a few boxes I made with the new Gift Box Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers. Video Demo As a box lover, I am excited about all the new punch boards. Here are three things I like the most about the Gift Box punch board: It does not require any additional supplies except a paper trimmer. No adhesive needed. Because of the design, the finished box is sturdier than a common scoring board box. We can make boxes up to 4"x4"x4". (The box...

Hello everyone! Today's project was inspired by a wooden stick that I found in front of our home. I've wanted to try spray paints for a while and I knew immediately that I could use the stick with pom-pom spiders for the Jo-Ann #spookyspaces campaign for Halloween! I remembered seeing a "pompom garland" tip sheet at the "Creativity Made Simple" shelf at my local Jo-Ann store and knew that I could find the pom-pom makers there. My objective was to create a neat Halloween decoration for under $25.  So with my coupons I began. For a moment, I was distracted by...
