Frogs & Pandas

You know sometimes life just doesn't want to cut you any slack. I've been crazy busy and just haven't had any time to post some of my projects. Shame on me!!

Anyhoo... Just wanted to share a few projects that I've done recently...

All these little froggies were favors and treat boxes for I made for my son's second birthday.

This little guy's belly is actually lip balm.

I got this awesome frog cut file, called Hoppy Days, from Designs on Cloud 9.  Which is also where I got this cute pillow box (Pillow Box 1) cut file from.

This eye catching card below was made with stamps from Designs on Cloud 9's sister company, Pink and Main. These adorable pandas are from their new January release called Pandamonium. 

This is one of my favorite sets. Keep an eye out for the other January release!! They are ALL super cute!! I will be using them in upcoming cards real soon!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

More Pink & Main August Releases

Hello Crafty Friends!! I've been crazy busy. A lot of the time was spent prepping for my oldest daughter's birthday party, which I will talk about in a separate post. The other part of that time was spent making these awesome cards from Pink & Main's August stamp releases.

For this card I used Pink & Main's Smell My Feet stamp set. One of the things about this set that I love is that it has interchangeable sentiments. 

 
You can match up the "batty for" with candy, you, or Halloween.

 For this card I used the same bat stamp and just changed the sentiment to "batty for you".

 I also used the same set on this quick and easy ghost card.

Not all the August releases are Halloween related... They have some really cute fall stamps too!
Like the set to make these cute cards.

Both the cards above were made using the Old Crow stamp set.

These are just two out of the seven sets that were released for the month of August. Soon it will be September... and, for those of you who don't know, every month Pink & Main releases new stamp sets. The amount of stamp releases from month to month. But, I can tell you that there will be some really AWESOME ones released for the month of September and I am looking forward to showing them off!!

Go and check out Pink & Main!! You will thank me!

Craft ... AND... stamp HAPPY friends!

Till next time!!

Trick or Treat "See-Thru" Card

Hello Crafty Friends!! Soon Halloween will be upon us!! I love Halloween and not just because I was born the eve of this fabulous holiday but because ... hmmm, wait... no, that pretty much sums it up! LOL

It all started because my mom tried her hardest not to have a Halloween baby. I was already two weeks late and not budging. Well, she went for a walk one day and lo and behold labor pains began. Really not the best or safest way to get me out and I really don't recommend it to anyone! In fact women who are overdue really should seek advice from a their doctor. But there I was brand spanking new the day before Halloween!

I love the fact my birthday is very much associated with a holiday. Hardly anyone forgets my birthday and if they do it's usually just a day off. LOL 

But beside the extremely close birth date I love the fact that Halloween brings out the creative nd mysterious part of people. The costumes are always the rage! Bought or made, I love seeing them all. Or forget the costume all together and wear make-up... still... LOVE  IT!!

Why wouldn't anyone want to embrace and celebrate it?!

So, I too embrace this holiday through creativity. 

Here's a card I made that represents my favorite Halloween pass time... Trick-or-treating.

For this card I used Pink & Main's Smell My Feet Stamp Set. I love this stamp set. That frog just kills me hanging on the candy bucket!

For the card base I use Grafix's Craft Plastic heavy weight sheet in .20" thickness. 

I cut the sheet into a 5.5"x 11" piece and folded it to make an A2(4.25"x5.5") sized card.

Then I embossed the front flap of my card with an embossing folder. 

The embossing folder used came from the We R Memory Keepers Butterfly set.

I hid my inside panel by layering it directly under my front panel.

And, there you have it... something a little different... but it works!! And, I love it!

Try making your very own "see-thru" card... you might love it too!!

HAPPY CRAFTING!!
