Chicks Rule

Image
By
Hi!  Wanted to try out a new (new for me at least) challenge blog over at Friday Sketchers.  This week's sketch is below and the challenge is sponsored by My Favorite Things so I had to give it a go.  I have to hurry too cause the challenge will close soon.

I wanted to use my new Pure Innocence stamp called One Sweet Chick.

Isn't she so cute and the little chicks are super cute too! 

Her dress and egg are paper pieced.  I cut some grass from PTI felt.  I love that this came out bright and cheery.

I plan to give this card to my cousin who got accepted to medical school!  Yay for her!  So yes, chicks rule!  I just gave her a bunch of cards to also give away to her friends.  At least I know the cards will be put to some use instead of just sitting around in a box.  Just need to warn her friends that they can never ever ever ever throw the cards away.  Heehee. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

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 throug...

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 ...
