Double Pocket Card with My Besties 3D and More...

Hello Fellow Crafters,

Today I am sending out a tickler to let you know there is still time to enter   My Besties 3D and More...November Monthly Challenge .  The THEME is always Anything Goes with a My Besties image and I love to share when I say "and more" that there is such a fun assortment of image styles you can play and create your project with.

I also invite you to visit the new My Besties Shop  or Sherri Baldy's Etsy Store to see the fun assortment of Crafting goodies offered by Sherri Baldy Designs.

Here is the colored My Besties Printable I chose for my project. 

Here is a look at my Double Pocket card with card inserts.

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 Sheets, Pre-colored Printables, Digital images, Rubber 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...

October Fun with My Besties 3D and More

My Besties digital 3D Decoupage Image Tina Bestie

Hello Fellow Crafters,

I am sending out a friendly tickler to inspire you to come join us at My Besties 3D and More for our October Monthly Challenge. The THEME is always Anything Goes with a My Besties. Here are a few Sherri Baldy products you can use to design your project whether they be 3D Decoupage Sheets, Pre-colored Printables, Digital images, Rubber Stamps and More. I invite you to visit the new My Besties Shop  or Sherri Baldy's Etsy Store to see what all she has.

I got so tickled to play with Sherri's 3D Decoupage sheets I am going to share two different projects,  First up is Tina Bestie in 3D and what better way to showcase this adorable cutie by featuring her on an easel card with the Month of October.
 And Guess What!  Sherri Baldy has a 50% off  Sale right now where if you have been wanting to try these 3D digital sheets or Colored Printables you can get it at 50% off using CODE: YOURSPECIAL50.

I did cut Tina Bestie out with scissors but there are a few of my fellow Bestie Crafters that use the Sillohette and other cutting machines that will cut these adorable images out for you.

Now for my second project I used a My Besties Colored Printable sheet  called Aug35 with these adorable cuties sitting in a pumpkin.  Aren't they so adorable. Now the fun part of creating with the digital Colored Printables is that you can use them in so many ways by enlarging or shrinking the size. For this project you can see I cut it up and turned it into a 3D Decoupage project. I have even used these printable as miniature tags, deco for gift baskets, boxes and more. The sky is the limit and you save time not having to color them. Don't forget the 50% off Code: YOURSPECIAL50 in the My Besties Designs Shop

I hope I tickled your creativity into trying something new.  Don't forget come by and enter your My Besties projects into the My Besties 3D and More October Challenge. You still have time and I want to come by for a friendly visit and see your project.

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