Thank You Cards (Sister Stamps)

Hello!  I recently made 12 Thank You cards for my daughter's Lego Robotics Team to send out to their guest speakers.  She's at a new school and is on a new team.  Hopefully they'll do okay this season.  Anyway, this is about the time that my Big Shot broke!  So I was kind of bummed cause I wouldn't be able to use any fancy die cuts.  I still have my older Spellbinders Wizard so I've been using that but it doesn't cut the intricate designs as well and it probably would work better with a metal shim which I don't have.  I did notice my Big Shot was harder to turn and would seem like it was getting stuck.  Well, one night it did get stuck.  Plates and die and cardstock and all.  My hubby had to pry it loose.  The good thing is that it's still covered by warranty so Sizzix is mailing me a new handle with instructions on how to change it out.  I hope it works!  Otherwise I may be looking for a new machine.

So I tried to make the cards simpler in design since I had to make so many.  This first bunch I used Sister Stamps.

This is one of their newest stamps called BFFs.  Aren't they super cute?  The sentiment is from PTI. 

This one is Yoshimi.  I love that these stamps are so fast to color up and so cute too!

Here's Ayako.  I had a hard time matching the colors of her kimono to the paper.  But I think I finally got it.

I'll be sharing some of my other Thank You cards next time.  Thanks for reading and have a happy Sunday!

These are totally adorable!! I love each one!

My Cuttlebug handle keeps coming off!! I have to re-screw it back on with an allen wrench every so often! Does that mean we craft too much?! lol! I really don't want to have to buy a new one, but I can't live without it!
Hello Eva~
Your cards turned out really pretty with or without no Big Shot.. I'm glad your handle is covered under warranty too - yippee! Any who back to your TU cards, love the coloring and they are just perfect, cute sentiment and I really like these images simple and not overwhelmed with so many blooms... To me it throws the focal point of the images off.... Lovely coloring.. Check mark!

Oh Eva, these are adorable. Such sweet images. I think the paper matches the Kimono perfectly.

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 ...

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...
