Today I have something a little different to share, and you might just want to take a look. I have a ‘mini me’ named Miss K who lives with me and loves to craft. You may know this if you’ve seen some of my older videos when she has been my helper. Today she and I did ‘crafty collaborations.’ What exactly does that mean? It means that I chose one of her craft projects to use as inspiration for something I made, and she chose a project I had made as inspiration for a new project of hers. You HAVE to see her project that I used as inspiration! Keep reading!

This will be most fun if you watch along here to see our projects and inspiration.
Want to keep reading? Let’s take a look at what we created.
My Inspiration
Look at this amazing…paper…McDonald’s meal. My child is a master of 3D paper things. I woke up from a nap on a rough day a couple of months ago, to her having created this. I won’t mention the wreck that had developed in the craft area!
I absolutely love the fry box. In my opinion, it is super impressive. For this reason, I used it as my inspiration for today’s project. No, I’m not creating a project with a big M on the front, in case you’re wondering.
My Project
I used the way she folded her fry box as my inspiration, and I made a small folded pocket the same way to hold a cute little flower arrangement. Isn’t this sweet?
I used the Timeworn Type embossing folder, Flowers of Friendship stamps and punch, and the Sprig punch to create this card. I really like the simplicity of it.
To see how I created my card, watch along in the video. Next let’s move on to see what Miss K created!
Miss K’s Inspiration & Project
Here you can see what Miss K used as her inspiration. You can find details for the penguin card here.
She loved the shaker dome and asked what other shapes of domes I had in my collection. The answer was ‘jars’ and she decided to create a cute shaker dome card with the Jar Domes, Jar Punch, and Timeless Tropical stamp set. I mean really, what else would you think to put inside of a jar besides a pineapple??
Isn’t this cute? I just love to see her creations.
