This easy holiday craft can be done with the whole family! Make it a "crafternoon" punching, taping, then hanging these festive 3D paper ball ornaments on the tree! There's not a whole lot you need for this project. See for yourself below. TOOLS & MATERIALS: Patterned Christmas card stock 2 1/2" circle punch Scoring board Crafter's tape 1/8" white ribbon (or other colour) Scissors DIRECTIONS (FOR ONE BALL ORNAMENT): Each ornament will have six sides. So, punch out two circl

There is something so striking about the combination of blue and red, especially a teal blue, and a bright red! And you'll see that in today's post, as I whipped up a few more gift tags in preparation for Christmas (my first tag post was HERE, in case you missed it). Then, to make them even prettier, I threw in some shiny silver paper. Now THIS is a combination for the eyes to behold! All in all, I never like to go a holiday without creating something handmade. But part of

These sweet little holiday notebooks are a handy item to carry in your purse, or to stick inside a stocking for a friend or a child. The inspiration behind this post once again came from a beautiful paper pad I purchased from Michaels. This one is called "Journey to the North Pole" by Recollections, which is a in-store brand. But what's different about this one is the card stock is double-sided! Each sheet has a colourful holiday pattern on either side. So the thought came

When it comes to holiday decorating, I like to incorporate a few handmade crafts. The EK Tools 5-leaf branch punch was the centre star in the making of today's project: two very colourful ombre wreaths! With these wreaths, you can hang them up on a wall, from a mantel, or even on the Christmas tree! They are an adorable size, at about 7 1/2" in diametre, so anything goes! They would also make a lovely handmade gift for someone special in your life this holiday season. But gi

It all started with the puffy stickers, and then the immediate "Oooh, I can make some Christmas tags with these" thought that went through my head. Yes, that's how my brain works. The puffy stickers were a local country store find, but I have sourced out these similar products for you. You can also try craft stores and dollar stores, but go early, before they sell out! I like puffy stickers because they add height to a simple paper tag. I also thought these ones were cute!

What is Valentine's Day, but a day to show love (or be love struck)! Here's a simple five minute project with love in mind: Cupid's arrow! First, find yourself some glitter card stock, it just makes the craft that much more fancier. And you'll need a couple of heart punches or scissors, paper straws, and a glue gun too. TOOLS & MATERIALS: Gold glitter card stock Pink or red glitter card stock 2 1/2" heart punch 1" heart punch Gold paper straws Mini hot glue gun DIRECTIONS (F

The holiday season is almost upon us, and you all know too well that I cannot let a holiday pass up without a few crafts - especially a cute paper craft like these 3-ring ornaments! This is the kind of craft that let's you play with colour and texture, and I definitely went the way of a bright textured card stock for this project. But you can use any paper that suits your tastes - just be sure that it's double-sided unless you want to stare at white! TOOLS & MATERIALS: Card

This year, going back to school is a strange feeling for some. Some kids may not even return, and will be enrolling in the full-time online program at home. That being said, it's still close to that time of year, so check out what I made with some leftover baking cups for organizing your desk or craft room table. This a definitely a useful project that anyone can enjoy! These little baskets are already halfway done for you because I used old square baking cups that I had i
