August OCS

By
Wow, I haven't posted a project in a while.  It was a busy month for buying but not for creating.  I really do miss crafting and I can't wait to make something with some of the new stamps I bought.  TGF's new September releases are so cute too especially that little Ian.

I did barely have some time to create a card for the August OCS that I signed up for over at Linda's blog HERE.  The challenge was to create an Asian inspired card.  So I used the Four Dolls stamp set from Hero Arts that Cheryl bought me a while back.  This is the first time I tried making a shaped card too. 

I had some left over washi paper and I finally got to use the Martha Stewart punch.

Also made a bookmark.  I used the bookmark die from PTI.  It came out pretty sturdy since I layered 2 pieces of cardstock and the washi paper on top.

By the way, Sunghee has a new store!  Little Potato House--what a cute name!  I can't wait to see more of her templates.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

By
Hi!  After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps.  Hehe.  Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well.  I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya!  She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy."  So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well.  I thought I could make an ABC book too.  But I didn't make this into a book.  More like flashcards, I suppose.  My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him.  All stamps are TGF.  I ...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

By
Hello everyone!  I am back with my latest sewing creations.  I have been playing around with plastic wrappers!  I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards.  My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items.  Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that).  This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back.  It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff.  But it's possible and looks really neat!  I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
