Sister Stamps Release #21 -- Kimie, Jade & Moon

Hello! Back with my last project showcasing Sister Stamps Release #21.

I made another project using all 3 images. I think the images work so well together that sometimes it's hard to just focus on one. They all look so cute together!

So this is a bit different for me. But I had this empty metal cookie container and it was so nice that I couldn't just throw it away. I washed it out and wondered what I would do with it. I liked that is was metal meaning magnets would stick on it and I recently got these cute magnets from Jenny that I wanted to display on here. Sorry, did not photo the magnets actually on here. They are totally cute though! And I love looking at them. Anyway, I had my hubby use some white metal primer to paint the can a couple of coats so that when I wrapped the thin washi paper around it, the bright words wouldn't show through. Glad he likes to do stuff like that so I can keep my hands clean. After, I wrapped the washi paper around but it was like an inch short to cover completely so I added some flowers in that space to cover it up. This is one side of the can and you can see Jade on there.

This is the other side of the flowers and you can see Moon hopping on there. The funny thing is that I wanted to add the word Create on the can but it was a bit too long especially with these big glitter chipboard letters I've had for a while. So I just put my name! Short and to the point. It's my can after all and it'll sit on my desk. I added some rhinestones to the flowers and some metal charms that the Yumi & Fumi girls were nice enough to send me. Oh, and I wrapped the top and bottom of the can with some lace ribbon and mesh bling.

And here is Kimie all the way on the other side. I added some pearl blingy things too. Most of the space here is filled with the cute magnets I mentioned earlier. After I made all this, my hubby thought it was a bit too busy for his taste. Well, that's why it has my name on it and not his!

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...
