Miss Anya Love

Hi!  Made this card for Club Anya and Friends Mystery Monday.  It's the first time I've actually used this TGF Miss Anya Love stamp even though I've had this set for a while now.  Mostly because I had to get accustomed to her not having a mouth.  I don't know--something about not having a mouth reminds me of ghost stories or something spooky like that.  I know that might sound weird.  Anyway, I'm slowly getting over it. 
 
Do you see that large doily in the back?  I love it!!  From MFT!  A doily die.  I used regular copy paper to cut that out hoping it would look a bit more delicate.  I did find some heart shaped Wilton doilies from Ben Franklin today too.  The hearts are also diecuts from MFT.  I stamped LOVE with PTI's Simple Alphabet and cut them out.  There's a little pink pearl in the O. 

Oh and look at these felt roses!  I love them too.  Also from MFT.  You die cut it and roll to make roses.  I added the pearls.  The doily border die matches the doily above.  How can you resist these cute dies?  I'm asking this mostly to Cheryl.  Hahaha.  Also added some lace too. 

The papers are from the Tinsel & Twig collection from The Girls' Paperie.  It's more of a Christmas set but I love these roses on this paper.  So pretty!  I'm liking how this card turned out.  The kids and hubby agree it's not as scary as the previous one with Creeper Tuesday.

Thanks so much for reading!  Have a happy Friday!

So pretty! Wow, you sure got a lot of dies! Cute matching doily and border! Yes, I checked out the website, so many things to choose from! I gotta make a priority list between there and PTI! Love the felt roses too, they look really nice.

This is such a beautiful card Eva! I love how you used the Christmas paper for a Valentine card, it's perfect and I may have to borrow that idea! ;o)

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 through the hat and then use it as

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 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
