More Crafting in the New Year!

It's time for a new show and we have some fun crafts to share!

We start the show with Desiree Somera from #HIHO, Hands In Helping Out. Desiree explains how HIHO helps connect people who want to volunteer with groups in need in their communities. Volunteering more would make a great New Year resolution!

Desiree and I do some crafting making some beautiful Mahalo cards using the #Heidi Swapp #Minc
foiling machine. Super easy and super fun!

We're getting ready for Valentine's Day and Lynn Hashino from Mapunapuna  has an awesome earring project! And even more, she shows us a technique to making the wire shapes match in a fast easy way!

Then, I switch up a Christmas project and turn it into a Valentine's Day card. I try a little humor...don't worry I won't be onstage as a comedian any time soon!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, thanks for taking time out to stop by today! Hope you get a chance to catch the show and these simple but fun projects!

14 Days of Valentine's Day 5 - LOVE Card

So, here we are on day 5 of the 14 Days of Valentine's. Time to make a card for someone special!

Here's a really fast card to make.To keep it simple, we used dies from the Sizzix Pop 'n Cuts line.

Here's the base Pop'n Cuts die with the "love" die insert.

And the matching Love Sizzlet set. The Love wording is the perfect match to the insert die and leaves just a tiny border.

From printed cardstock, I cut out a card without the insert for the base(left). Then, I put the insert in and cut out the card from solid cardstock (right). Follow the instructions on where to fold to create the pop out.

 

Then, I cut out part of the card base in the printed cardstock again. Flipped it over and cut out the "love" from the Sizzlet die.

I stamped the birdie design on white cardstock and cut him out. Ithink his heart wing matches the paper perfectly. I color in his wing with a marker. I also cut a few hearts from the printed cardstock.

I cut a strip from this cardstock for the front of the cars and I also used some of this silver glitter tape.

Here's the front of the card with a strip of the heart paper and two strips of silver glitter tape.

Attached the pop-out card to the inside. Glued the "love" onto the cardstock love pop out. Glued the heart paper pieces to the top and bottom of the card. Added a strip of glitter tape above the bottom heart paper piece. Added the cut out hearts. Added the stamped birdie to the top of the pop out using pop dots.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you're having a great week!

January's Second Joy of Crafting

Love is in the Air on the Joy of Crafting's second show for January! We start of the show with Chris from Market City BFC...

Chris shows us how to make our own cute card embellishment from Londy Wire and cookie cutters!

It's a really sweet project!

Then, we have Gloria for Pearl City BFC back with another great project featuring the Cinch binding machine.

She'll give us an idea for storing all your clear and cling mount stamps.

 It's amazing that the Cinch can punch through the tin sheets, great for this magnet board project.

Then, Puna is back to save the day for our Sweethearts!

Have your Honey watch this segment so they can make this for you for Valentine's Day.

You guessed it, it's a Valentine's Day Survival Kit!

Thank You for stopping by today and I hope you get a chance to watch this episode. We had a lot of fun with these projects and I hope you do, too!

Happy Crafting!
