40th Birthday Gift Idea

We all hate getting older, when we actually are older
but somehow those Birthday's sneak up on us...
year after shining year.

My good friend just recently celebrated a milestone 
Birthday and to celebrate her jokester self, I thought
sending her a pot fill with suckers would at least make
her laugh...it did!

40 Sucks! 40th Birthday Gift Idea

"40 SUCKS"

I picked up a terracotta pot and foam ball from 
a local craft store and a mondo bag
of suckers (thank you Sam's Club) and got to work.
I already had black chalkboard spray paint and gold
lying around, as well as frog tape.

First I taped off the top of the pot where I wanted 
the gold to go and spray painted two coats of the black
chalkboard paint on the bottom of the pot.

40 Sucks! 40th Birthday Gift Idea

After the paint was dry, I peeled off the tape and 
carefully taped off the bottom, black portion. I gently
pressed the tape onto the bottom, so it didn't peel off
the paint and then quickly sprayed the rim and inside
the pot a pretty gold.

40 Sucks! 40th Birthday Gift Idea


Two coats, drying time and then it was time to 
plant some suckers!! I started at the top and worked
my way around. I tried to stick to the Birthday
girl's favorite colors but had to add a bit of green 
to the bottom, we will just call them leaves.

40 Sucks! 40th Birthday Gift Idea


Next a little free hand drawing with chalk markers, 
not super fancy but it gets the job done cause really
...40 SUCKS!! ;)

Mother's Day Gift Idea and Card


Mother's Day Gift Idea & Card

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mama's out there!
Whether you're currently a Mom, Grandmother, 
have a baby in heaven, adopted your child, or are 
currently preggers....you are all 
Mother's and deserve a day for everyone to just
say, Thank You!

I found the sweet little grey wooden saying
at TJ Maxx and was on the hunt for something
fun to go with it...lavender is such an uplifting 
aroma, a bottle of lotion from Scotland
and a fancy wrapped bar of soap, set the tone
for the purple card. The box smelled divine
once I had everything packaged up as well!
Of course, nothing says Thank you like 
chocolate, I know it's always be appreciated 
by my Mom.

Mother's Day Gift Idea & Card

If you have a plethora of stamp supplies and machines,
then you probably know what the Big Shot is. I use mine
pretty much every time I'm in my craft room and love the 
diversity of cutting tools that you can use with the machine.

First I stamped two different stamps on white cardstock
and then using the magnetic platform (amazing!) placed my
framelits die on top of where I wanted to cut. One quick
roll through the machine and perfection, I tell ya! 
The nice thing about Framelits is that they come in
multiple sizes, so you can frame your projects with 
a different color to add more dimension to your projects.

Mother's Day Gift Idea & Card

The Big Shot is also capable of using the dry embossing
folders with it but I have the Texture Boutique for just 
those, instead. I placed just the front of my lavender
cardstock inside the folder, rolled it through the machine
and out came this beautiful scrollwork.

Mother's Day Gift Idea & Card

A bit of bakers twine, some foam pop dots and 
a thoughtful card for a wonderful Mother!
Happy Mother's Day Mama's!!
