All That Scraps June Preview -- Sweet November Stamps

Hello! Welcome to another day of All That Scraps June previews. Today we are introducing some cute Sweet November Stamps princesses. These four princesses are adorable and I wanted to create a fancy schmancy card. I remembered the tutorial on SCS called the bendi fold card so thought I'd give that a try. There a lot of photos here so hope you make it til the end.

This is the front of the card. The two front flaps curve and tuck into the card behind it. The princesses reminded me of the Disney princesses so I colored them up like them. All the sentiments are from AmyR's Simply Enchanting Sentiments.

Close up photo. Right behind her you can see the head of the other princess. I colored in some hair to the back so it wouldn't look weird.

When you open the right flap you can see the next 2 princesses. The birds are from CC Designs Birdie Day and the tree is a die cut. I used the die to cut out all the leaves!

I tried to add a bird to every page and grass too using the grass border die.

I actually looked up the eye colors of all the princesses too.

Here's a closer look at all the leaves and birds on the tree. You can also see the little cut I made to slide in the tab of the front flap.

I really like this princess. She might be my favorite one.

Here is how it looks when you open the left flap.

I had all these papers for a while too. So happy that I still had the paper with the castle and carriage too.

The last princess. I added some leaves to this side of the tree too.

Last photo! This was fun to make and I loved how it came out. But afterwards I thought, gee, I didn't really have to make the front flaps bend. It would be cute just as a flat card too. Maybe that will be next time.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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 through the hat and then use it as

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 of the dies from MFT's gift card dies.

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
