I had fun printing and cutting her out with detail using my scissors to feature this adorable Snow Fairy And made a double pocket card to showcase her cuteness inside and outside.  Here is a Youtube Double Pocket tutorial Video by Patty w/Stampin Up I found and use and keep handy in my Watch Later Folder when I forget the folds on making it. I find it easier to use double sided design paper when I want to make a pocket card.  The pretty bow die by Die-namites/"Beautiful Bow" and makes for a perfect tab to pull out the insert card.

My Besties 3D and More...

Hello Fellow Crafters,

I am happy to announce the start of the new Monthly Challenge over at My Besties 3D and More for November.  The THEME is always Anything Goes with a My Besties image and I love to share when I say that that there is such a fun assortment of image styles you can play with. For instance: 3D Decoupage SheetsPre-colored PrintablesDigital imagesRubber Stamps and More. I invite you to visit the new My Besties Shop  or Sherri Baldy's Etsy Store to see what all Sherri Baldy Designs has.

As you see my little sneak peek up above I chose to go with using a My Besties precolored Printable sheet called fairy Oct36 as a 3D Decoupage project. I use Microsoft Word to make my adjustments in reference to the size I want her to be on my project. She is so adorably pre-colored that all I had to do was cut her out  in different portions with my scissors and put her together with pop stickers. I added some sparkle with some Stickles Diamond.

Fun and Easy...with My Besties International

Hello Fellow Crafters,

Welcome to my Blog of crafting fun today. Today I get to share and invite you to the start of a New Challenge period over at My Besties International and an announcement that it will now be a Monthly Challenge. The THEME is still alway Anything Goes with a My Besties image.  I look forward to seeing all your fun projects.

 My November inspiration for my project as I share with you was inspired by Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for. I made a couple of treat baskets  and I thought that these adorable and beautifully pre-colored images on  My Besties Printable sheets would be perfect. I shrank them down to 2 inches  or the whole printable sheet to 4.25.  And punched the images out with an Oval hand punch.



I cut these baskets out with my Cricut machine from the Forever Young Cartridge. There are so many new updated Cricut machine versions...I laugh that mine is still the old original version and I love that I have the hand held Gypsy to work with my Cricut cartridges. It does what I need it to so I am happy.

What I love about all the new Printable Sheets that Sherri Baldy/My Besties Designs has created for us is that you can use them in so many ways and the alot of the work of coloring is already done for you. You can find and assortment of them HERE in the My Besties Shop.

I hope to see you come join the fun and stop by the My Besties International Monthly Challenge Blog and check out all the inspiration by the Design Team.

Until next time bountiful blessings of health and joy to you and yours. Happy crafting...
