Sweet Summertime Wishes...

Hi Everyone!  
It's time for my Joy's Life DT post. 
And Oh Boy am I am excited to be creating 
with Joy's new stamp sets this week! 
I love it when a stamp goes just perfect with 
that one project you've been dying to make...
Well, that's exactly what happened
this week...

Look at this cute little card I made...




The Ice Cream Cart and Ice Cream Cones 
are cuts from the Silhouette studio.  
I had to modify the awning to make
it come off the page.


This stamp was perfect for this ice cream cart:) 
It came from Joy's new stamp set called
"Sweet Popsicle Puns"
You can get this set and all of Joy's 
other sets HERE...


I also wrapped the little posts with
some Cotton Candy twine from
Trendy Twine


Click HERE to see the video I found on 
YouTube that inspired me to 
make the Ice Cream Cart
and modify my awning...



I hope you enjoyed my card today...
Now I must go have an Ice Cream cone:)
Don't forget to leave me some
sweet comments...you know how
I love to read them all!


Have a GREAT day:)

Just Chicken In!

Hello Everyone!  Thanks for visiting for my Joy's Life DT post today:)

I had such a good time making my card for this week...
It's all about animals.  I really had a hard time choosing which
one of Joy's stamps to use out of all of the
cute animal puns she has...
When I saw this cute MTC file I knew exactly which stamp to use...

Here's my card...

To One of my Favorite Peeps...

Hello Everyone...
Here I am again with another post for the 
Joy's Life Design Team...
This week our challenge is to do any project
that is Easter or Spring related.
I have been so excited to do this project 
because I wanted to use the
"To One of my Favorite Peeps" Stamp.
It's from the Joy's Life stamp set called
"Barnyard Puns"
My project for today is called 
"Peep S'Mores"
Take a look...

Instructions

Close Up of Stamp

Angle

I started off by using a quart size Mason jar.
Then I crushed one sleeve of graham crackers 
into crumbs and combined it with 
1/3 C of brown sugar. I took about 2/3's of this 
crumb mixture and put it into the bottom of the jar
packing it down a little bit.  Once that was done, 
I evenly poured about 1/4 cup of Easter M&M 
candies on top. Then I arranged 7 peeps 
standing up, with their faces out around the 
inside of the jar. I pressed them ever so slightly 
up against the glass but didn' t 
squash them. After that I carefully 
spooned the remaining crumb mixture into the 
center of my peeps.  You'll want to press this down 
a little bit just to keep it snug. 
But, be careful not to smash the Peeps.
To finish it off, I poured another 
1 1/4 C of M&M's on top.

I made a cute belly band using one of my 
Martha Stewart punches. The label for the sentiment 
was cut using my Silhouette Cameo.
The top of the jar is covered with a matching 
piece of cardstock using my 
2 1/2 inch Fiskars circle punch.  
The instructions were printed from my computer 
and layered with more matching cardstock to 
create a cute tag hanging from a Pear Pin that I got
from Jillian Vance Design, some Twine 
and Yellow ribbon.

You can get the stamp and all of the 
Joy's Life stamp sets HERE

I hope you enjoyed my post for today!
