PTI Tag & Frame Challenge

Hi! Wow, it's not late at night and I'm actually done with this PTI challenge. See HERE for the details. I had some time to make my tag & frame in between playing Lego and Search & Find and eating lunch and taking a nap. My 2 year old was so accommodating today!

Here's the tag I came up with. I'm kind of stuck with this pink/green color combo. I used Tag Sale 3 die which I really love because of it's size and that little embossed border. For this project, I actually popped out all the little dots along the border and sewed a pink border with some embroidery floss.

Closer picture.

I have some Fillable Frames but I thought I'd make a frame like how Nichole did in her post with the circle dies. I used Nesties Labels One dies which match the shape of the stamp in Tiny Treats Valentine to cut my frame. The sentiment is from All About You. The You is stamped on vellum.

The frame is popped up a bit. Not sure if you can see that clearly. Added some ribbon, lace, bling, and a flower and I was done! I'll be ready for the next challenge! Though I wonder if I should make another Go-To Sentiment card.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all win a PTI prize? Just a lucky few, I suppose. Thanks for reading and yay, it's Friday! Have a great weekend!

Pretty! Argh, I knew I shouldn't have looked and read closely. I never bought any of the tag dies - but you've got me thinking, ack. Love how you popped the dots out and put in stitching - cool!

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...
