Blush Bonnie ATCs

Hi! It feels like it has been a little while since I last posted. But I've been busy making stuff. I recently signed up for Pineapple Cove's ATC swap. It sounded fun and since I've never really made any ATCs before, I thought I'd give it a go. The theme for this month is butterflies.

I made 3 identical ones using TGF's Blush Bonnie. The Blush girls are smaller than the usual TGF stamps so she fit nicely on this card (2.5 x 3.5). I really love how these came out!

I used TGF's Splotchy in smokey grey ink for the background. I also stamped dandelions from PTI's Botanical Silhouettes in the back. Then used Stampin' Up's butterflies from the Sprinkles set. And to think I was gonna sell my Stampin' Up sets but you really don't know when a stamp will come in handy. The sentiment (on vellum) is also from PTI (Butterfly Dreams). I actually cut the stamp so I could have the sentiment in one line. Added some stickles, bling and then gave it a quick spritz for some shiny-ness.

Hopefully, I'll be able to drop these off this weekend.

Thanks for reading!

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 ...

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...
