Therese's Crafty Cabana

I was at Michaels craft store the other day and they were having a great sale on small square ink pads, and well, I already had a few before that, so I decided I would stock up on some of the fall colors though because the available colors always change. Once I got home, I didn't really have a home for them, so I decided to make them a home. I made this cute armoire which is such a great size for these stamp pads! It fits four perfectly on the bottom and can go 3 layers high. For the other drawer I had some Dew Drop ink pads and put those in there and again they fit great, 6 on the bottom and up to 3 layers high. I used SVG Cuts Amelie's Accessories Kit . I would suggest watching the assembly video if you attempt to make it though, I totall would have messed up if I didn't. So, I love purple, therefore the color scheme :) I was so happy the fit perfectly! I did increase the size of the file, just to the largest I could on my mat. This is...

This month SVG Attic challenged contestants to use moss green, grey, black and ivory in their submissions. So this is what I came up with... The box container is a candy holder that has a dispenser on the bottom from the Fun Favors SVG Collection . The rounded container is from the set Kiss the Cook , and it holds the little bird house, which is also a candy holder and it is from the set Welcome Spring . I used Trendy Twine's Posy twine which looks so perfect on Spring projects.       I had to shrink the original size of the birdhouse by about a third to get it to fit in the container. For some dimension I used a polka dot embossing folder for the roof accents.  I wanted to have a way for the bird house to hang from the twine on the top of the birdhouse, so I made a hole in the bottom of the container and threaded the twine through. To hang it, I tied a bow, but to get to the candy inside, you...

I just love this penguin from SVG Attic's All the Trimmings file. I used scotch foam tape to give them dimension, and my cool gray Copic marker for shadowing. Each card features Punkin Patch Stamps : Holiday Traditions, O Holy Night, Gingerbread Kisses I also used Trendy Twine 's peppermint stick twine some magnets and a snowflake and circle punch. So each penguin is a magnet and behind each penguin is the card title. To make it attach to the front of the card I added a piece of magnet tape to the back side of the white cardstock, so you can't see the magnet.  They look so festive...the paper stack I used is Recollection's Believe paper pad. These stamps really quality stamps and they are perfect for the inside sentiment, I mixed and matched to say what I wanted. I added rhinestones to the inside of the flower and the snowflake. This is how big the piece of magnet is for the penguin, not much is needed. Look at that army! ...

These are some party favors I made using some of SVG Attic's designs. I made a girl favor and a boy favor, guess it's pretty obvious which is which.   I used the Mad Tea Party set to make the mad hatter hat...only I made the base flat because I wanted it to fit over the rosette with no gaps since the "favor" is hiding under the hat.  The witch hat was made with a freebie from SVG Cuts and I added stars that I found in my MTC shapes library and I added sequins on them.  I added a piece of wire to the top of the hat with a star for some extra fun. The base of both are from the banner rosette in the Mad Tea Party set. Then to finish it off I added a scrap piece of orange and black cardstock that was already in the shape of a triangle along with some purple and black ruffled ribbon that I got at Michaels. I used K & Company's Halloween papers and Recollections black paper.  One side of the had has a flower decorate...
