Flip Flopping Fabulous!

Make an inexpensive pair of flip flops more meaningful 

to the recipient by adding one 

of the many punny Joy's Life Sentiments.

You can easily coordinate colors and 

styles to make the pair of flip flops.

This sentiment comes from "Pun in the Sun."

To make this flower dimensional, I used Pop Up Glue Dots ® between each layer. 

I love how they gives depth, but also they are clear 

so you don't see the white edges like regular dimensionals.

Be sure to add fun, flirty embellies too.

Here I used rhinestones, twine, and rumple ribbon.

Check out my blog for more ideas!

Remember, Saturday is our monthly hop!  

Be sure to join us for all the fun and prizes.

Lifesaver Pillow Box Package

Hello Craft Friends!

Kendra here from Luv 2 Scrap N' Make Cards to share my very first DT Project!  I'm so excited to be a part of this team!!

This week we are focusing on "Projects Using Dimension"!

I decided to create a 3D Project using a Clear Pillow Box!   

I added some lifesaver candies inside the package!! :)

I thought this was such a fun idea!

I simply used two circles on my Cricut to create the "lifesaver" shape.  I then slightly bent and stamped the "You're a lifesaver" sentiment, from the That Tastes Punny set, with VersaMark Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder....to give it that lifesaver candy look!

A simple, yet fun package!!  Yummy!

Stay Toasty Cookies!!

Hello!! This is Jennie from Earthy Scrap!!

This week we are inspired by Food!! 

I decorated this paper bag to put some cookies in it.

I used Recollections Paper and Border Punch 

and a digi from Angie Delarie.

I colored her with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.

The sentiment is from Wintery Puns. 

I better stay away from cookies... Yeah right!!

I hope you liked it!!

Take Care!!

Paper Purse from 12x12 and Embossed Mini Cards

Hello!  I am June Houck and this is my first post as a Joy's Life design team member.

I enjoy making teacher gifts like this paper purse filled with four 3x3 cards.

The paper purse was created with one sheet of Lori Whitlock's Winter Park "Ski Lodge" 12x12 paper.

The red solid on the mini cards is also Lori Whitlock's Winter Park collection.

I stamped my Joy's Life "Wintery Puns" sentiment, then used my snowflake embossing folder on the top and bottom.  Then I brushed the raised snowflakes with my white ink pad for dimension.

To create the paper purse:

Score 1" on two opposite sides of your 12x12 paper.  Fold and adhere.

Score at 3.5" on the two sides that were not folded.  Fold and adhere (they will overlap.)

Fold in half (@ 5") and score 3/4" on either side of the center fold.

Fold these back to create the pleated bottom of the bag (see picture.)

Adhere the two center parts of the bag at the top, creating two pockets.

Punch slits on both sides, and secure ribbon inside the bag with strong adhesive.

(I have a more detailed picture tutorial on my blog.)

Fill pockets, and you are finished!

Thank you for stopping by.  Don't forget to check out all of the Joy's Life stamp sets; I already gave my wish list to Santa :)

Definitely Good"ish" Disco Santa

Hi!! This is Jennie from Earthy Scrap!!

This week at Joy's Life we are making Bags and Boxes. 

Since you probably shopped your little heart out on Friday

 you need to start wrapping your presents. 

I have a very easy Disco Santa Gift Bag to share.

The bag was made with the Once Upon A Princess Cartridge. All you need is a square of red paper (mini is from Recollections), a stripe of ruched fabric (I used lace that I sew into the paper before gluing the whole thing in the bag) and Black Ribbon. The buckle is from 7 Gypsies. 

 The sentiment is from the 

new awesome set Oh Christmas Puns.

This is new amazing set!!

In case you haven't seen it!!

I hope you enjoyed the Disco Santa Bag!!

Personalized Friendship Plaque

Hi there, it's me Jeannie with a fun project I am giving to my good friend I am about to see in 2 hours...that translates into...I will get very little sleep tonight!

I have used 2 stamps from the set called You're so Punny.  The exact phrase that I needed wasn't in the set, but by combining 2 together, I was able to get what I needed.

Instead of doing a card, I thought I'd do this little plaque to remind her of our early morning workouts. I should say HER workouts, I just pretend to workout alongside her.

We talk about anything and everything, we try to solve the world's problems and we happily refer to the gym as the batcave.

Stamped phrases can be used in many different ways, and my project shows you that they are not just for cards! 

They chair stamp is from Close to My Heart, the ladybug, is an old one of mine and my papers are various brands.

The dies I used are by MFT and Cheery Lynn Designs.

I hope you have enjoyed this little treasure I have shared today.

This has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana, posting in behalf of Joy's Life.com.  Have a great day.

Just a Note!

Hi everyone!  Sarabeth here from Chronicles of Sarita.  Today I am sharing with you another fun Joy's Life Creation.  This week the DT was challenged to create a gift and/or packaging.  I thought these would be a great back to school gift for the teachers and hey, even the bus drivers I think would like these too!  Using the "Just a Note" stamp found in the Tag You're It Number Two set, I created a Post-It & Pen Holder. 

 Here it is:

a few close-ups for you to check out:

A Gift Espressly For You

Hi!! This is Jennie from Earthy Scrap.

This week we are in a giving mood 

so we are making gift related projects!!

The Image and the sentiment are from

 the Tag You're It Set Number One.

I did this for my mom. She loves coffee and everyone says she makes the best coffee. I don't drink coffee but I found her some coffee samples that I know she would love. 

However you can also use it as a gift card holder. 

On the inside I made little pockets like a folder where you can put the gift card and, tea or coffee samples.

I just decorated a little with some washi tape and Ta-Da!!

I hope you liked my project!!

**Remember that I'ts All Fall Puns is now available for 14.99!!

Some Cute Fishy Fun

I have a fun project to share to day.

This is a little box that can easily be made up in no time at all.

We are focusing using the stamp new set called Pun in the Sun.

I am using lots of fun papers from Canvas Corp.

I used 3 different stamps from the stamp set.  Isn't that little boat adorable?

When you pull the "drawer" open it reveals some more paper fish and some gummy sharks as a surprise.

The drawer could be used for so many different things and would even be big enough to hold small cookies, candles, soaps etc.

I love the way this turned out and think the stamps go perfectly with the fish and the bright and colorful papers.

Who wouldn't be excited to get a small surprise like this?

I hope you have enjoyed my "idea"..this has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana with today's post.
