Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Everyone!
I made another really cute card today and
wanted to share it with you...

This is my second one for Valentine's Day already
and we just barely got finished with Christmas :)

Check out how adorable this card turned out...

I made this card using pretty much all Lawn Fawn products except
for one of the dies from Sunny Studio Stamps that I'll list first.

Sunny Studio Stamps
Frilly Frames Lattice

Lawn Fawn
Quilted Backdrop
You're Just My Type stamp set
You're Just My Type lawn cuts
Ballet Slippers Cardstock

I really like the monochrome look with just
the little pop of light pink and the glow from
the light bulb in the lamp.

Isn't that little mouse the cutest?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this card!

Stay tuned... more Valentine cards to come.

to move on to the new year.

decided to make my first one today.

Thanksgiving Place Card Holders

I wanted to show you these really cute and easy
Place Card Holders I made this year.  I saw several
versions of them on Pinterest and thought
I would make my own.

We usually don't have a huge Thanksgiving but I still
like to make the full dinner and dress up the table
a bit.

(click pic to enlarge)

I used a cute little Petal Box that I got
from the Silhouette store.  There were several to choose from.  I
used just the box portion from the Lori Whitlock
Santa Petal Box Design ID 70571

Then I used a portion of the Turkey Place Card file
from Dreaming Tree.  (It's FREE right now!)  I took
the front red piece and sliced it in half then enlarged
it for the back 3 feathers so they would
all match the same shape.

I added some googly eyes and made the tags
from another Lori Whitlock Silhouette file Design ID #18635
called 2 Label Shapes.  I used the bottom one and removed
the holes from the inside edge.  I did a print and
cut for our names for the tags.

I LOVE these Place Card Holders.  You can put after dinner mints or
some yummy chocolates in them for your guest.

Thank you all for checking out my project today!

Hope you enjoyed it :)

Thankful

I completely forgot to share this pretty card I made 
using my "Stitched Pumpkin Frame"  die from Lawn Fawn 

(click pic to enlarge)

I used the "Fall Sentiment Stackers" from Queen & Company 
for the "Thankful" sentiment.  I also blended the background colors 
with my Distress Oxide Inks.

I LOVE this Pumpkin card!

Thank you all for checking out my card today!

Hope you enjoyed it :)

From Our Patch to Yours

Check out this cute Pumpkin card
I made today using my "Outside in Stitched Pumpkin"
die from Lawn Fawn 

(click pic to enlarge)

I used the "Spooky Village" stamp set for the sentiment.
The bats were cut from the "Scalloped Treat Box - 
Halloween Add On" die and the fence is from
"Spooky Fence Border" die.
I blended the background colors with my
Distress Oxide Inks.

I LOVE this Pumpkin card!

Thank you all for checking out my card today!

Hope you enjoyed it :)

Happy Fall

I wanted to share this cute Fall card

Thank you all for checking out my card today!

Hope you enjoyed it :)

Merry Christmas

I wanted to share this cute Christmas card
I made today using my "Build a House" die
from Lawn Fawn and the "Christmas" Add On

(click pic to enlarge)

I used the "Tiny Christmas", "Winter Skies"
and "Snow Bunnies" Lawn Fawn stamp
sets for the dog, Merry Christmas sentiment and
Santa and Reindeer.  The tree is
from the "Scalloped Treat Box Winter House Add On".
I used the large one and cut off the bottom to fit right.

Isn't this a GREAT Christmas card?

I see a few more of these on my crafty schedule :)

Thank you all for checking out my card today!

Hope you enjoyed it :)

Hogs & Kisses

I couldn't wait to share this really
cute card I made today...

I bought this die and stamp set this
past week and decided to make another
shaker card.

Hope you like it!

(click to enlarge pic.)

This piggy die is from The Stamps of Life.

It's called "Piggy Bank Die Set" and the sentiment

is from the "Piggybank2stamp" set.  I stamped it with 

The Stamps of Life Premium Dye ink pad in Licorice 

from one of their mini sets.

The die set comes with a shadow die so I just

cut the main die and the shadow die together and

used the outline portion that cuts between

the two of them.  

In order to make my shaker pocket, I cut out 11 of the 

Piggy outlines and layered them on top of each other with 

glue to create the depth needed for the size 

of sequins I was using.

You can check out this video I googled from YouTube HERE to get a

better idea of the layering effect.  She starts to layer at about min 3:30

on the video if you want to skip ahead.  It's a good video so you might

decide to watch the whole thing.

The cute frame I used is a die from Paper Trey Ink called

"Noted Scalloped A2 Vertical Die"

That's it!

Hope you enjoyed my card today!

Hi Everyone! 

I'm up on the Action Wobbles Blog today
for my Design Team post.

I'm so excited to show you my cute little

Sunshine Kisses&Rainbow Wishes

I wanted to share another really cute 

card I made today.

This time, I made a shaker card with an

adorable stitched cloud die I have.

Hope you like it!

(click to enlarge pic.)

I used the Stitched Rainbow die from Papertrey Ink

and a Cloud die from an unknown source.

The background is the Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables

die from Lawn Fawn.

The sun is from the Beach Palm Tree and Sun file by

Lori Whitlock in the Silhouette Store (Design ID 28210).

I couldn't find the right stamp to use for 

my sentiment so I typed this one up  

and did a print and cut on my Silhouette.

In order to create my shaker, 

I cut out 8 of the clouds with the cloud die and layered them

on top of each other with glue to create the depth needed

for the size of beads I was using.

You can check out this video I googled from YouTube HERE to get a

better idea of the layering effect.  She starts to layer at about min 3:30

on the video if you want to skip ahead.  It's a good video so you might

decide to watch the whole thing.

I ended up scanning and tracing the shape of the cloud to my 

Silhouette in order to cut the layer of acetate for

the face of the shaker.

I used Fun Foam for the top layer of my 

Cloud shaker and filled it with fishbowl beads.
I love how it turned out.

Hope you enjoyed my card today!

Happy Mother's Day

I wanted to share the lovely

Mother's Day card I made for

my MOM this year.

Not to worry...she has already received it

and LOVES it so no spoiler alert...LOL!

I watched a video by Jennifer McGuire on 

shaker cards using tulle instead of acetate

to hold the sequins in place.

I couldn't wait to try it out...It gave the card 

such a nice soft look.

Here you go...

(click on pic to enlarge)

Front

View of tulle window

Inside

For the base of my card and back panel, I used cardstock

from Papertrey Ink soon to be Ink to Paper.

I created the circle shaker window by

using the Circle Shaped Shaker Kit

from Queen & Co and filling it with

sequins from Lawn Fawn. Unfortunately,

I don't know the name of the mixed color. 

The cute floral patterned paper is from the

Flirty Florals 6 X 6 paper pad that comes in 

the Love Jar Shaker Kit from  Queen & Co.

You can also buy it separately HERE.

The "Mom" on the front is from the

Sentiment Stacker Dies #1 from 

Queen & Co

Then I finished it off with the Sentiment from

the Mother's Day Shaped Shaker Kit also 

from Queen & Co.

This card exceeded my expectations.  I'm so

happy it turned out the way it did and I was

able to get it off to my Mom in time for 

Mother's Day.

Hope you all enjoyed this as much as we did. 

Wishing you all a Happy Mother's Day!
