Sister Stamps Release #19 -- Hideo & Mieko

***********************************************************************************

Hello! Welcome to Sister Stamps Release #19! Have you been checking out the introductory posts by Jenny on the Sister Stamps blog? Don't miss the chance to win one of these cuties. Aren't these images just perfect for New Year's?

I made some New Year's money gift holders. I saw this idea of using MFT's vertical gift card holder onto some layered tags and thought it was so fun. Problem -- no layering tag dies. So I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make the tags around the gift card holder. I think it was 3/8th inch around the 3 sides and then 1 inch on the top. Then just cut the top corners. Then I added another thin layer around that tag.

I made this one with Hideo first. Not very Asian-y colors or papers.

Here's a close up. Love his mochi on a stick. Our kids love mochi! Totally in the mood for some now.

After making Hideo, I wanted a girl version so I used Mieko too. This one is more Asian with washi paper.

Here's a close up of this cutie. Love her little cheeks!

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
