I used scraps from recent projects along with some stickers and foam squares. I have seen many videos making embellishments and decided to try some. I had fun making them and will make more in the future as it is a good way to use up scraps and use your punches.

And lastly, I made paper clips which are all the rage these days with the planner craze and the popularity of flip books.

Hey everyone! I am excited about this project for The Cutting Cafe! The design team was given this cute 3 Tier Cake Box file to use. It is so much fun to do. I used to decorate cakes so this was just up my alley!
The layers actually open so you can put a little something something in them as a gift. Check out my video below to see how the layers open. Here are more views of it…

I had some wallet photos from my goddaughter’s one-year-old photo shoot and wanted to display them in some way other than in an album. I found a wood printer tray, painted it, added patterned paper, pictures, and embellishments. The Elisha Jean stamps reminded me of her and how she wears her hair so I thought they would work in sweetly!
My friend Tmika host great swaps all the time on YouTube. The latest one has us using techniques and embellishments. The 3 x 3 cards had to have a combination of four or more things going on. I used five techniques…dry embossing, distressing, texture paste stippling, glittering the texture paste, and splattering/ misting, and four embellishments…flowers, punches, twine, and a dazzle sticker.
Here is a close up of the card…

As always, packaging is a big part of a swap. Here is how I packaged mine…
