Hunny Bunny Easter Wishes!

It's time to start working on Easter goodies!  Yay, another holiday with candy, yay!  

I've been wanting this stamp since it came out, and during one of My Favorite Things awesome sales, I was able to snag it!  I colored her with Copics and then paper pieced her outfit.  I love her polka dot leggings.  She was fussy cut and popped up on the card.  This card has lots of layers, colors, and textures....some of my favorite things!

Gifts For Mom

My Mom really likes the Pure Innocence stamps.  She calls them the "big face girls"!  I have made her many cards for various occasions with them, and she proudly shows them off to her knitting group and keeps them all out for display all year round.

My Mom loves to knit, and I think secretly she likes to do the laundry.  It's just her and my stepfather, so it's not a lot of laundry to do.  My stepfather teases her and tells her that she loves to do the laundry!  I bought both of these stamp sets with Mom in mind.

I stamped them then colored with Copics.  Their dresses are paper pieced.  I cut some doilies out of vellum, and then placed them in these frames I bought from Ikea.  I wish I had taken the pictures before I put the glass in them.  I gave them to my Mom for her birthday and she just loved them.

Supplies:

Stamps:  My Favorite Things Pure Innocence-Loads of Love and Close Knit

Ink:  Memento, Versafine

Paper:  Wasau, Papertrey Ink, Bazzill, Recollections, and Unknown Designer Paper

Misc:  Copics, paper punches, frames

Hogs & Kisses

I had originally made this card as a Valentine, but I think it would be perfect for any day.  I made this during one of my Netflix marathons!  My niece, Jenny, got me hooked on American Horror Story.  I started watching it in season 3, as Stevie Nicks was to make guest appearances.  So, now I'm watching the first two seasons.

I used some of my favorite techniques on this card including stamping, paper punching, die cutting, sewing and flower making!

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink-On The Farm

Ink;  Versafine

Paper:  MME, Bazzill, Recollections

Misc:  Papertrey Ink On The Farm and Beautiful Blooms 2 dies, paper punches, My Favorite Things Fish Tail Die-Namics, sewing machine, pop up dots, crochet thread, buttons

One More Day To Valentine's Day!

It's almost Valentine's Day!  I felt like I needed to make a card with some chocolate tucked inside.  So, using my Cricut, Nestabilities, and a few paper punches, I got to work on this sweet girl.  The sentiment was made using Papertrey Ink Modern Upper Case Alphabet.  I cut each letter out four times, adhered them together, and then finished them up with a layer of Diamond Glaze on the top.

Supplies:

Paper:  MME, Bazzill, The Paper Company

Misc:  Cricut Create a Friend Cartridge, Papertrey Ink Modern Upper Case Alphabet dies, Nestabilties, Paper punches, pop up dots, small candy bar.

Another Valentine, whoo hoo!  You should see this one in person, I'm very pleased with the way it came out.  I used my Cricut to cut the letters out and the hearts are paper punched.  Lots of layers and lots of pop up dots give this card a lot of dimension.

Four Days to Valentine's Day - Part 2

I love making these crochet hearts.  They are so quick and easy to make.  All I did to make this card was to cut a heart out of the paper with a Nestabilities Heart Die and then stamp the sentiment on the bottom.  Then I layered it onto the card base and stamped the stem/leaf combination.  To finish it off, I just glued the hearts on and viola!

Supplies:

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink-Flower Fusion #1 and Hero Arts CL498

Ink:  Papertrey Ink

Paper:  Recollections

Four Days To Valentine's Day!

 These banners are not just for Valentine's Day.  They are perfect for dressing up any room or event.  I used the Cat's Pajamas Cut Ups Pennants 005 Die to cut out the pennants.  The bases are cut from white card stock and the pennants are cut out of burlap.  Then, I sewed extra large ric rac to connect all of the pennants.

This is one of those projects that is much prettier in person.  I must have taken a zillion pictures of these banners, both inside and outside, and these were the best, but I am still not satisfied.

Supplies:

Paper:  The Paper Company, Recollections

Misc:  Cat's Pajamas Cut Ups Pennants 005 Die, burlap, Cricut Preserves Cartridge, extra large ric rac

Five Days To Valentine's Day!

I am really trying to keep my blog updated, it's/was my New Year's Resolution.  While I didn't do very well last month, I'm determined to "get it done"!  I have a stack of Valentine's Day cards that I made, so everyday this week, I will be posting one.

I used some of my favorite goodies to make this card.  The flowers are cut out using my Cricut and I dusted off my Martha Stewart Butterfly punch and punched out some tiny vellum butterflies. Out of my Papertrey Ink supplies, I used my heart border, Heart-2-Heart #11 stamp set, and the Fillable Frames #5 stamp set/die combination.  I made a few flags out of some washi tape that I had been saving for a rainy day.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink-Fillable Frames #5 and Heart-2-Heart #11

Ink:  Papertrey Ink, Heidi Swapp

Paper:  American Crafts, Bo Bunny, Recollections, Bazzill

Be Mine

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!  I am so excited, right now I am waiting for my sister.  It's our Annual Craft-A-Palooza Super Bowl Bash!  It's just the two of us, as we can get a little loud, eat until we are nauseous, and craft all day.  We also use language that our Mom doesn't appreciate and to quote her, "I didn't raise you two girls to be so nasty".  We won't mention that our Grandma could swear us all under the table, I guess it skipped a generation!  Again, we won't mention that "you girls" are 50 and 46!  Our last game we watched together, we played a drinking game with Diet Coke, and needless to say we missed part of the last quarter because we had to go to the bathroom, a lot!  We sure know how to party!

I've been down with a sinus infection that turned into bronchitis, yuck!  I've squeezed a few cards in between coughing  and blowing my nose.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink-Blooming Bits and Friendship Jar Spring Fillers

Ink:  Versafine, Papertrey Ink

Paper:  Recollections, a scrap of some paper that I don't remember!

Misc:  Crochet thread, mini clothes pin, pop up dots, paper punch
