metal stamped bookmark

Hello! I was really trying to be good today and start exercising again but I just could not get my laptop going so that I could watch a show while on my elliptical. Maybe I was having a bad connection with Netflix but I know my laptop is also old and probably gonna conk out soon. After about 20 minutes trying to fiddle with this and that, I gave up! I had my shoes on and everything! Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Today's post is so fun for me. It's more metal stamping but this time on actual metal instead of wood.

This is an aluminum bookmark that I stamped for my daughter. It's a little smudgy looking after she used it. I should've taken a picture before I gave it to her when it was all nice and polished. I even stamped her name on the bottom but I smudged it on here. I made 2 small purple pom poms too for fun.

Here is a close up of the quote I stamped. Funny? I messed up a bit on the heart on the bottom but that is why I need practice. But overall I'm pretty happy with how this turned out considering it was my first metal project. It does require a lot more elbow grease to polish and do the stamping than paper crafts but the outcome of the project is so worth it.

I don't think I have another project to share after this. I'm trying to recover from a cold and so my crafting has slowed down as well. Hopefully I'll have more to share soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Neat bookmark! You need a portable tablet to carry around the house to watch netflix! Get well soon!

Oh that sentiment is very appropriate for most kids today. Love the way the bookmark turned out. Thanks for sharing a good idea.

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 ...

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...
