Hope you are all doing well. Thank you for all your wonderful comments and emails. I have received many requests for Thanksgiving projects. I am waiting for the stores to put out Thanksgiving stuff and my Stampin' Up! goodies to arrive. I have heard your requests for centerpieces, place settings, cards, and much more. Towards the end of the week, I should have something out and going for you all. I will also choose TWO winners from whatever I create.
Today's card is a request from Dawn. Dawn asked for a child's project and I thought being that I was behind on my son's birthday card (shame on me) I would create a birthday card for him. I thought about using the Build-a-Bear but I didn't quite know what to exactly do with him until I ran across a PERFECT idea on my friend Linda's blog (click here to visit her). She has just launched her new and improved blog and has been showcasing her downline's work this week. I saw Tricia's work on her blog and knew this was the project for me. I CASED it completely. My son loves to run around the house dressed like a superhero so I thought this was the perfect card for him. He loved it; he just doesn't know how much because he is 5 years old and could care less about the card and all about the gift inside the bag.(LOL) One day when he is older (maybe way older) it will mean something to him. Especially since mom made it for him.
My oldest son LOVED his tag, DVD box, and card. I told him I needed it back (LOL). He said I could borrow it to make a sample but he loves it. He is a very sentimental young man and a handmade gift from mom or anybody means the world to him. He thought mom made the coolest gift box and didn't even use dazzling diamonds. He was so proud of me! If you want to see the matching gift box and card just scroll down one post and your will see it.
If you would like to make these yourself, you can find the detailed instructions in both a demonstrator and customer version planner in my Snow Swirled Christmas Planner. For more details, CLICK HERE.
Honestly, these projects are so easy to make and oooh so dazzling. My assistant came over yesterday and saw the three projects I made for my oldest son and wanted to take them for herself. They look amazing in person. She LOVED how I took the same card and tag layout from my Snow Swirled Christmas Planner and created a completely different look using Extreme Guitar Stamp Set.

Monica, I love the Build-a-Bear Birthday Card that you made for your son. It looks as though you used fabric for the cape, did you? What a neat idea, to incorporate fabric into our cards. I absolutely love that you will be doing some Thanksgiving and Fall themed cards and items, right up my alley for this time of year. Casing, nothing wrong with that, it just shows the original Artist how much we admire their work. I do it all the time, especially with your stuff, hee, hee.I already have your Snow Swirled Planner and am so glad that you showed us different ways to use it, you really opened up my eyes this week. Have a wonderful stamping day!
