Sister Stamps Design Team!!!

Hello everyone!  I have exciting news to share as you may have guessed by the title on my post.  This opportunity to design for Sister Stamps came when I was contemplating going back to work and doing less DT stuff.  I thought to myself, is this a sign for me to learn how to say no or is it another positive opportunity?  I guess you know which I picked and really, how do you say no to Sister Stamps?  Love the cute stamps and Jenny is super nice!  Thanks, Jenny for this wonderful opportunity!  And somehow I guess work will eventually fall into place down the road too.  Right?

Anyway, this is Sister Stamps 15th release and soon to be their 2nd birthday.  But for today, I thought I'd share something not birthday-ish but Christmas-y.  Yes, Christmas in June/July!  We have lots of family with dogs even multiple doggie families so these stamps are gonna come in handy at Xmas time.

Here is my project featuring the very sweet looking Kiki.  She looks so calm!  I finally gave in and bought this stocking die from Stampin' Up a while ago to prepare for this Xmas.  I cut some felt out and used fabric glue to seal the edges together.  My fabric glue was kind of old and stuck so when I squeezed just a bit too hard everything oozed out onto my crafty board!  Didn't want to waste the glue so I just used my finger.  Talk about messy!  That isn't really a doggy treat in there either.  It's a cereal bar for humans but it fit nicely.  Hopefully I can find some kind of doggy treat or something.

Here's a close up photo of Kiki on the tag.  I used a mini clothes pin to attach the tag to the stocking.  I also added some color to her cheeks.  Animals need blush too, right?

Please head over to the rest of the Sister Stamps gang to see more inspiration!

Hi Eva! Love how you attached the adorable tag to the Christmas stocking. I may just borrow your idea of making a Christmas stocking filled with doggie goodies for our 3 pooches. Can't wait to see what you have in store for tomorrow's post.

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 ...

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...
