more coffee shaped cards

Hi!  Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!  It was nice to relax for a couple of days except for all the cooking of course.  I think one year I may just skip the cooking and get take out!  But my youngest one really enjoys eating all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes.  So maybe I'll have to wait until he is a little older. I'm back to share more coffee cup shaped cards.  These are a bit more cutesy. I used some Doodlebug paper for the front.  The coffee cup shaped cards are made from dies from Honey Bee Stamps.  The sentiment and holly are from Lawn Fawn.  This gingerbread cookie print is so cute!  The sleeve on here is a pale pink color so the colors a bit nontraditional for Christmas. And this one has a bunch of cute Santas! And this is the inside with the gift card holder slot which I made using a die from MFT.  So the whole base of these cards is kraft cardstock. I am still trying to cross everything off my crafty list for this year.  I listed a bu

coffee cup shaped cards

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.

NEW confetti shapes!

Hi!  I've added new confetti shapes into my Etsy shop.  These are thin cut iridescent white snowmen.  I also have them in a plain white color. These are maple leaves.  I love this style a lot more than the ones I used to stock in my shop.  The quality of these are a lot more consistent but they are not chunky like the other ones. Unicorns!  This one is iridescent white.  I also have them in a pink color.  These are super cute! I love these too.  Pink cherry blossoms!  I also have an iridescent white version of this.  So pretty. I'm starting to restock some heart shaped confetti too.  This one is red hollow hearts and tiny hearts.  I have them also in black. If you're interested, they're all listed in my shop.  Don't forget to use the free shipping code listed in the front of my shop if your order qualifies. Thank you so much for visiting.

felt planner clip cards

Hi!  I'm back today to share something new.  It combines my love of cute with funny puns. I made some fun planner clips using embroidered felt and paper clips.  But since I'm also a paper crafter, I thought it be cute to combine the two.  So these are my planner clip cards.  I printed my sentiment using my laser printer and then used my Minc to add the gold foil.  I really love the gold foil.  I made a few prints that were a bit spotty but then found the right combo and the gold foil seems to be more consistent.  I love how the gold foil really elevates the card and matches the gold paper clip too. Here's one of my favorite cards.  Love the donut and s'more pun!  I made a couple other cards which are listed in my shop.  I'm hoping to add more cards and puns.  But I wish I could make more of other things too!  Just not enough time in a day. I had a little giveaway on my FB page which went by a bit quicker than I thought!  I gave away 2 of the turkey cli

panda and polar bear calendars

Hi!  Back today to share another batch of 2018 calendars.  I used Mama Elephant 's Bear Favor Bag Accessory dies for these calendars.  Here is my polar bear which is pretty simple to make.  Just using some white cardstock for his head and part of his body.  It is hard to image what the tiny dies could be used for so I end up cutting up a bunch of scratch paper and just moving things around until it looks cute!  These calendars also have a magnet on the back to stick to your fridge or anything else that is magnetic.  They are pretty lightweight and thin. Here is my panda bear.  I didn't know if I wanted to add those cheeks in or not.  My kids thought it was cute without them.  But I like rosy cheeks! Here is my last one which is a variation on the panda and I call him fancy panda because of his mustache and hat.  I like him cause he makes me laugh. I am very unfocused.  Too many projects to finish.  I like to imagine that there is a finish line to all this crafting
