You're Super!

By
I can't believe it's November! Ack! I feel behind on my Christmas shopping already! Anyhow, I have another non-seasonal card. I followed this Saturday sketch over at the Club Anya blog which was helpful because I always have the hardest time figuring out where to place things.It's a pretty literal take on the sketch. I used the Amazing Duo Anya stamp (finally decided to try coloring the girl superhero). Might not be coloring her again for a while...the wavy hair was difficult! I used prismacolor pencils, black, cool gray 90% and 70% for the hair, electric blue and crimson lake for the outfit, peach and light peach for the skin. I added diamond stickles to the star and belt buckle which I don't think shows up very well in the photo.
I used dark chocolate cardstock from PTI. I can't remember the brand of the patterned paper, but I bought it a long time ago at Costco, it came as 2 different brands in 2 huge stacks of patterned paper. And I got a new punch from Michaels. It's a Martha Stewart Loopy Ribbons that also came with a corner punch to make square or rectangle frames. It was on clearance, but would have been cheaper if I could have used my 50% off coupon, shucks! Now that I see a photo of the card, the white circle looks quite white. I guess I should try to trim Anya out next time.

I know, so weird that I made another card. Maybe I should try to make one a week with the card sketch until I use up all my stamps.

Snowman gift card holder

By
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 through the hat and then use it as

coffee cup shaped cards

By
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 of the dies from MFT's gift card dies.

Knuffle Bunny

By
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
