Last night, although there were a million other things I should have been doing- taxes for one :-(- I started playing around with some packing tape that I had found a while ago in the dollar section at Michael’s. It works great for taping up boxes, but the patterns and colors were so pretty I thought there might be a crafty use for it too. And it turns out- yes, of course there is! Keep an eye out for these fun ideas coming soon…
I like to have a bunch of projects going on at one time. Can you tell :-)? Usually there is something that has to dry, or I’m waiting for the glue gun to heat up so I just start in on another project. Anyone else out there do that?
While catching up on Project Runway All Stars, I die-cut 75 Cake Slices for a Make and Take at The Collins Group event this weekend. Here are more samples of what will be taught at the Sizzix blog. Special note- my good friend Karen Burniston will be demoing her new line of dies called Pop’n Cuts. They are so cool- it’s a system that Karen designed to make creating pop-up cards easy, quick and super-impressive!
Here’s the project that I designed for the event. It has been interesting working within these parameters:
- showcase the product
- 10 minute assembly
- successfully completed by all skill levels
- looks amazing
- is quickly and easily taught
It took a little thought but turned out to be a piece of cake! (get it?)
On to finish the next thing… stay tuned!
This is the cutest, Eileen! I can remember it taking me forever to trace, cut-out and put together a paper slice of cake. Love this design and the touch of rick rack trim is perfect. Enjoy the demo!

Thanks Molly! The dies are a time saver for sure. Plus they are a no-brainer. You really can’t mess them up. What’s not to love? My kind of crafting 🙂 Thanks for writing- hope you are well!
This is too cute!
What a sweet project! Love it!
