Etsy Shop Saturday!

Yay, it's the weekend! Do you have anything fun planned for this weekend? This was the first week back for school, so we will probably just relax this weekend. And of course, watch football! Sounds like a good weekend to me! :)

I have decided to start a new series on my blog called "Etsy Shop Saturday" where I will feature a different item every week that is available in my Etsy shop. Most of the items in the shop are cards that you have already seen on my blog, but these two are new. The first is eggs and bacon:

And the second card is the peas and carrots!

I think these cards are so cute! They're even holding hands! They each have a cute bow tie and hair bow to give the images some added interest, and of course they had to have hearts above their heads!

Well, thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to check out my Etsy Shop by clicking here or clicking on the Etsy Shop tab at the top of the page! Have a nice weekend! :)

Wow, thank you!

Good evening, everyone! I hope that you are having a good week so far. It's almost the weekend! We are super busy here getting ready for my sister-in-law's wedding, as well as prepping our house to get our hardwood floors refinished! Whew, things are crazy right now!

I haven't had much time to play along with many challenges lately, but I'm glad I was able to squeeze in a little bit of time to play along with the current CAS-ology challenge! This week's theme was rainbow, so here is what I created:

This card features stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop. They are actually a mini sample set, so I'm not sure what the name is, but I like them! I stamped the feathers a few times in various colors to create a rainbow look. Then I stamped the sentiment above and below the feathers in a grey ink. I finished the card by adding some stickles to the feathers to give it some sparkle!

Well, thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a great weekend! :)

Stylish Hippos

Hi there! I have a super fun birthday card to share with you today!

Hehe! Aren't those hippos so cute! The hippos, accessories, and sentiment are from Sweet Stamp Shop's "Too Hip" stamp set. The images are all fussy cut from various patterned papers, pieced together, and adhered with foam tape.

Well, thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a good weekend! :)

Poppy Sketches #3

 Hello! I have a quick card to share with you for the current Poppy Sketches!

 

 This is such a fun challenge blog because they provide you with a sketch and a color combination! That makes for a really unique challenge! Anyways, here is the card that I created based on the sketch and colors:

This card features stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop's "Too Hip" stamp set. Their images are just so cute! I paper pieced both of the cacti and I attached them with a folded piece of paper to make them "bounce!" They dance to the music when you move the card! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Stop by again tomorrow to see some cards in honor of Mother's Day! :)

Lawnscaping #81 - Stamp a Background

 Happy Monday!! Did everyone have a nice weekend? I was able to spend some time this weekend doing a little bit of dress shopping for an upcoming wedding! Yay! We had a lot of fun! :)

Since it's the first Monday of the month, that means there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge! Woo hoo! The challenge is to create a background using stamps.

 I'm not sure why, but recently I have really wanted to create something with these cute elephants from Lawn Fawn, so I used them to create this background:

This was so easy to make (just a little time consuming coloring the elephants - there are so many!) but I really like it! First I stamped where I wanted the two love elephants, and then a stamped the other elephants all around. After that, I stamped some hearts to fill in the gaps. Each of the elephants is colored in a little bit with a grey pencil and the love elephants each have colored bows with stickles. This card features Lawn Fawn's "Love You Tons" stamp set and bows from Sweet Stamp Shop's "Too Hip."

Don't forget to play along! The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate from Simon Says Stamps! They have awesome products to choose from! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! :)

Hippo Love

Hello everyone! The little one is down for a nap, which means it is craft time for me! Woo hoo! :)

I recently purchased some Sweet Stamp Shop stamps and I have been having fun playing with their cute images. Here is a card that I created:

Please ignore the horrible photograph. I still haven't figured out a good place to take pictures in our new house, but I'll find one soon. This card features SSS's "Announcing" and "Too Hip" stamp sets. The hippos are so much fun to play with, especially since the set includes so many different accessories! 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a nice afternoon! The weather is finally starting to warm up a little bit, so I might take walk this afternoon! :)
