Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts Challenge #8

Hello! It's December and time for Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts Challenge #8 -- Kim's Sketch and/or color combo (red, camel & white). You can choose to either do the sketch or color combo or do both. I chose to do both and that really made all the decision making so easy!

My card features Winter Yumi from the new Winter Release. The tiny heart tag and sentiment is from PTI. I added those small sequin flowers that I just got from a blogging buddy, Blankina! She was so sweet to send me some goodies all the way from Italy! Thank you!! I kept this card pretty simple to highlight the image, and um, I needed to catch up on all The Vampire Diaries! Haha. I'm caught up now. Can't believe I watched over 4 seasons of episodes. Hey, this Winter Yumi could be Elena!

Here's the sketch! Kim is so good with sketches!

Here is the color combo inspiration.

Please check out Yumi & Fumi Handmade Crafts blog to see if you are a winner or in the Top 3 from Challenge #7. Also hop over to see the rest of the team's creations! Hope you'll join us for this challenge. It'll run til the end of the month since we all know it's a busy time of the year for everyone and this will give you more time to play.

Thanks for reading!

Gorgeous card! I love how clean your card is and yet it's much more than that. This card is fabulous Eva!! The flowers are pretty and I love the sentiment. Now that you are done with catching up what will you do? Read the books?

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...
