Small Coaster Calender

Hi There! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!
 I am so glad you stopped by for a visit on this Monday Morning!

So this will be a quick post. I made this paper project over a year ago at a crafting retreat with a Stampin' Up demonstrator and never ended up taking pictures of it. 
I recently came across a Youtube video making one almost identical and thought I would share the tutorial under my tutorial tab here.

I just thought this was so cute and wanted to share. I know the demonstrator got some of her supplies on Amazon. I'll link what I think she used below.





Products:
I don't know the exact products and supplies because they were given to me prepped by the Stampin' Up demonstrator...but
here are some links to what I could find that looks pretty close.

Happy Monday and I hope you have a great week. Now it's your turn to go make something beautiful!

Merry and Bright

Hello friends and welcome to All Things Beautiful.
I hope you are having a fun summer and also finding time to be creative.
In today's post I am showcasing a Christmas card. 
What would be July with out a little Christmas in July?!

For this card I chose to stick with a 6x6 paper pad and play off the elements in the patterned paper.
I also incorporated some stitching as well. If you'd like some ideas on how to incorporate stitching into your cards you can find a stitching tutorial under my tutorial tab here.


For the inside of the card and for the envelope I continued to use pages from the 6 x 6 pad and additional cut out pieces from the snowflake dies listed below. I added a strip of paper and stitching to the flap of the envelope. I hope it mails well. It's not too thick but does have some dimension.

Craft Smith Shimmer Noel 6x6 pattern paper stack
Gina K Designs Black Onyx cardstock
Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake border punch

Have a great week!
