Cuddle Anya Circle Card

Hi again! Made another card last night for CA&F Saturday's Sketch.

It's my first circle card. And the first time I used all of Cuddle Anya. I used her little hat as a template for Mickey ears before. Cuddle Anya is so cute! I love her bear and her hat. I'm really happy that my circle card also stands on it's own without rolling over or anything. I cut the circle with my largest circle nestability. Before I used Coluzzle to make shapes. I still have a whole bunch of Coluzzle things, mostly the puzzle pieces cut outs. All paper is from Wild Rose Studio that I bought from All That Scraps. Wild Rose Studio also has the cutest bear stamps (Milton).

I tried making the bear with curly hair or at least give it some texture. I had seen over at Color Me Copic, Amy Young had a tutorial on how to color curly hair with copics. Being somewhat lazy and impatient, I didn't look at the video but just figured I try it first. Hahaha. I don't think it turned out too bad. Maybe I should watch the video.

Anyway, I may try to make another card tonight too. I have to get all this challenge stuff out of my system first. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Gee, you make cards so fast! Cuddle Anya is so cute! The paper is cute too. I like the bear! The fur looks good! Which reminds me, I kind of wanted to get the Sanrio stuffed animals at Build a Bear, I think more for myself than for the kids! :) I watched that video and I don't even have Copics! It's kind of neat to watch though, it doesn't really look like much at first, but then by the end, it's like, yeah, that looks like pretty nice hair.

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

coffee cup shaped cards

Hi! I think after this post I may need a little nap! My right shoulder is actually feeling worn out from all the typing and photo editing I've been doing lately. And this cooler weather is making me drowsy. It's getting cold here already! I made a bunch of these coffee shaped cards using a die from Honey Bee Stamps . It's a cute coffee set but the die is extra long so it would probably help to have a longer platform to diecut. I just have the standard sized one so I would pass it through once in my Big Shot and then rotate the cardstock and die carefully to cut the other end. Manageable but the longer platform would be more convenient! I embossed the front of the card with some pretty snowflakes. I think this is a Sizzix embossing folder. And then stamped the coffee sleeve with some Lawn Fawn stamps. This is the inside. The gift card slot does not come with this coffee cup die set. I cut that opening with one ...

Knuffle Bunny

Hi! The Greeting Farm had their Customer Challenge & Chit Chat Night "A Night at the Bookstore" and introduced a few challenges. I have to say chatting was too fast for me and I couldn't really keep up. It was still early here, and I had to pick up the kids from school and activities and make dinner and eat and so I guess the timing didn't really work out with our schedule. You can check out the challenge details on the SCS forum HERE . I made this card for Favorite Child's Book category. It is based on the Mo Willems book Knuffle Bunny . It's one of my kids' favorites and it's such a cute story. We actually love reading Mo Willems' books especially his Elephant and Piggie series. Those books are hilarious! This challenge also made me realize that I haven't read many books recently except kids' books. I used to love reading but just haven't given it much time lately. Anyway, here is my card. If you've read the story...
