Pop Up!

I had a pop up Hansel & Gretel book when I was a little girl and I absolutely loved it. It was so fun to see the characters jump off the page in three dimensions with little nooks and crannies to fuel the imagination. Well, I felt the same way when I found these DIY Kirigami pop up cards.


There are so many amazing designs to choose from. Many inspired by the lyrics of the 12 Days of Christmas...

Ladies Dancing


Calling Birds


And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!


They have other great designs too like jumping fish


And butterflies...


The greatest part? You get to use your own creativity to put the card together yourself...






What a great idea for Christmas or your next special occasion. Find them here!

80's Flashback!

Anyone who knows me well, knows I heart the 80's. It was the time of my childhood...full of fun. I found something today that took me right back to the golden era...grown up Shrinky Dinks!

Well, this product is known as Shrinky Sheets and is so new and improved that it can be run through your inkjet printer! Just think, all of your beautiful art and design can now be shrunk down into those ever so charming little, crafty bits. The Shrinky Sheets can even work for photos!


How cute is that little dog ring? Artist Rylan Morrison has created a jewelry line with her little Shrinky treasures called White Limousine. Check out this bad boy...I love it! The possibilities are endless!


I absolutely love this product and will have to pick myself up a pack. You can find them at the Curiosity Shoppe for only $12...what a steal for a time machine back to childhood joy!
