Hello Kitty sticker book

Hi everyone! It is so humid here that I get all sweaty just washing the dishes! I hope that counts as some kind of exercise.

I've switched gears back to paper crafting and put my sewing on the side for a bit. I wanted to make something fun and it was inspired by some sticker shopping. I bought these cute stickers and instead of just mailing them to my friend's daughter, I thought it'd be cute to make a sticker book too. Plus I had this idea of using clear contact paper on the pages so the stickers would be removable. I bought the roll of contact paper for the Pokemon wrappers that I had sewed up. Such an economical roll of contact paper! I think I can still make a lot of projects.

Here is the cover of the book. I used my Sizzix Hello Kitty die for the cover. I had this one sheet of HK paper for a while too so finally I was able to use it. I covered this page with contact paper as well just to kind of protect it a bit.

The next pages have little pockets to put stickers in. I used the same paper scraps to decorate the pockets.

The next pages all look similar to these two except the Hello Kitty stamps in each corner are different. I got this stamp set a while ago but only now am using it. I hadn't realized how many were in the box and they are all so cute. All of these white pages were covered with contact paper after I stamped and colored the images with Copics.

Here's a little close up of one of the stamps. Adorable!

This is the back cover which uses the same paper and is also covered with contact paper. This book is 5.5 x 8.5 inches and I used my Cinch to bind it. Each page is sturdy too. The covers are thick chipboard and the inner pages are thinner chipboard covered with white cardstock. Oh, I think you could probably even draw on the pages with a dry erase pen too. I'll have to test that out.

Hopefully, she'll like it! I remember I used to have a huge sticker binder when I was a kid and would even sell them to my friends for like 30 cents or something. I would label the cost of each sticker!

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
