I am going to post quickly. I had a LONG day today. I took the kids to Costco and to the mall to see the Easter bunny. Then I also had to take my son to piano lessons. I am ready to hit the hay!!! But I wanted to quickly show you another one of the cards I made over the weekend.

I love this little notecard. The size is 3×6.

Don’t you love that great big sunflower?! It is one of the large white flowers from the pretties kit. All I did was color it with a So Saffron marker. I added that fun Chocolate Chip Brad and I had a sunflower!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: None

Paper: Tea Party DSP, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip

Ink: So Saffron Marker

Other: Pretties kit, cordoroy buttons, chocolate chip ribbon

I have been stamping all weekend! I am happy to say that I am going to have stamped projects to show you all week!!!

First I am going to sow you a card using my very favorite stamp set- Upsy Daisy.

IRL- those daisies are sparling!!! I stamped them with Pretty in Pink Craft Ink and embossed with Irredecent Ice EP. Looks very pretty!!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: Upsy Daisy

Paper: Tea Party DSP, Pretty In Pink, Certainly Celery, Whisper White

Ink: Pretty in Pink Craft, Certainly Celery

I haven’t had time to stamp today ; (  But I have some unexplained energy and so I plan to stay up crafting tonight!!!! In the meantime, I wanted to show you the save the date cards I made for my brother and his finacee. I decided to go digital since it will be easy and cheap for them to print!! Plus, they were super easy to make!!!

They picked the 2nd one. I figured they would!

Hope you have a super weekend! I will be posting some stamped creations very soon!

Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE my Big Shot?!!!! And my very favorite die is the Top Note die. (a close second would be the new butterfly die!) I am going to be leading a craft at my MOPS group in a few weeks and this is what I came up with…

It is a Gratitude Journal made with the Top Note Die and some chipboard!

The inside is filled with copy paper that I cut with the die as well….

Everyone in my MOPS group will be able to decorate their’s any way they want. I used the Butterfly die, a large flower from the Pretties kit and some buttons. I think it looks happy! Now I can fill it will all the things that I am grateful for. It will make for a nice read on those challenging days!!!

Speaking of challenging days- I am so tired!!!! Being a full time stay at home mom is exhausting! I think I might be trying to do too much with the kids. But I find that when they are busy- they fight less. And that makes for a happier mommy!!! I am going to go stamp now for therapy and then go to bed early!!! Happy Stamping!

Recipe:

Stamps: Out on a Limb (Papertrey Ink), Polka Dot Background Stamp

Paper: Tea Party DSP, white copy paper

Ink: Certainly Celery

Other: Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Pretties Kit, Top Note Die, Beautiful Butterflies Die, Latte Buttons, Chipboard, Jump Ring

I have a couple wedding favor ideas for you today, but I have to warn you that they are in a somewhat odd color combo!!! I have a friend who is making favors for her brother’s wedding and the colors are Only Orange and Glorious Green. Yikes!!!! I don’t think that I have EVER used those colors!!!! Especially not together!!!! But I just sent with it. It’s not my wedding!!!!

This little box was made with 2 of the scallop envelope dies. You just have to cut the bottom flaps so that they are about the same width as the side flaps.

And this one was made using the Baskets and Blooms die and the Polka Dot Background stamp. I think it is kinda cute for a birthday maybe. The tag is blank now but we thought that it could include the bride and groom’s name and the date of the wedding….

My friend sent the pics to his brother and they just weren’t what he was looking for. Oh well! It was still fun to get my Big Shot out and make a couple projects with some tough colors!!!!

I hope you enjoy!!!! My hubby is watching the kids for a bit so I need to get stamping!!! I am hoping it will relax me!

Whooo Hoo! I made time for some creative projects today!!! I am starting to get better at my new schedule. But I am going to admit that I am exhausted and have daily headaches!!!

Yesterday I spotted this super cute bunny basket that Jenn made and I just had to make one of my own!!!!!

Isn’t it fun?!!!! The basket itself is just 4 of the scallop envelopes cut with my Big Shot. I used sticky stip to put them all together. Then I used this template to cute the bunny head out. I made the feet with oval nestibilities because I don’t have the wide oval punch.

Here are some more pics of it….

I just had to add a pom pom to his butt!

My kids said that my bunny was "cool." That’s good enough for me!!!

I have a couple other 3d projects to show you tomorrow that are VERY differnt than this one!!! Are you curious?

Recipe:

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Tea Party DSP

Other: Big Shot, Scallop Envelope Die, Small Oval Punch, 1 linch circle punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Oval Nestibilities, Googly Eyes, Pom Pom, Black Marker, Pretty in Pink Marker, SU ribbon

No joke, I have been working on this card for a couple of days!!! I just couldn’t quite get it right! I kept taking it apart! And it took an entire day to decide on what stamp set to use for the main image!!! In the end, I am ok with the card and happy to have it finished!!!

Nothing fancy!!! I do love the color combo. I just got the DSP and I am loving it!!!!

I have some 3d projects that I have to work on tomorrow so hopefully I will be back really soon!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: Cheers to You

Paper: Sweet Slumber DSP, Baja Breeze, Watercolor

Ink: Stazon, Baja Breeze, Ridinghood Red

Other: Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Oval and Scallop Oval Nestibilities, blender pen, So Saffron Ribbon

I made a card yesterday…but I have to admit that I am not loving it : (  But since I haven’t had a stamp project to share in quite some time, I decided to post it. Maybe someone will know how to fix this one…..

I made that large flower by cutting (free hand) a flower shape from DSP and then wrinkling it up.

Now don’t forget to scroll down to my post from yesterday because I still have some great stamp sets for sale!!!!!

Ok, here is the scoop- I have been trying to stamp all week and I have been feeling very bored with my stamps!!!! So I decided that the best thing to do (now that I am not a Stampin’ Up! demo) is to sell them so I can buy more!!!! Good idea, huh?!

Below you will find a list of stamp sets that I am selling. They are all slightly used and may have staining on the blocks. This will not effect their quality.

You DO NOT need to have a paypal account to pay. But I will not be accepting money orders or personal checks. I will ship the stamps via priority mail. I will do my very best to fit as much as I can in the $5 envelope, but if you are purchasing several sets, the shipping may be more. I will let you know. I am only selling to US customers!!!!
