Holly Jolly House Mouse!

This card was made using one of my favorite House Mouse stamps. I used Holly Jolly rub ons on the mug. The paper is double sided and made into a nontraditional fold (not sure what it is called) (: When you open the card it folds out.  The ribbon is a holiday ribbon I bought last year after Christmas. I used pearl stickers to the side of this card.  Find the supplies in my store. 

I have had a CRAZY week of holiday parties and parent teacher conferences for my four children. I hope to get around to your Blogs,  but if not please forgive me.  The children are all well (at the moment, crossing fingers) so I hope to get into my normal routine. Normal as my life gets anyway. LOL!

Baby Boy Scalloped Square Card!

This is the baby boy card I made for our local SCS shoebox swap last Saturday. The theme was baby, because one of our members Michelle is having her first baby boy in December. We are really excited for her! Any-who the card shape was made with the Spellbinders scalloped square die. My inspiration idea was a baby blanket. The stamp is an old Stampin Up stamp, but I still really like it. The image was colored with Copics.

Lollypop Type Flowers

I have to say the pictures do not do these fun flowers justice! You can literally make these out of anything, and that is what makes them so much fun to make. The red flowers were made with leftover chipboard, run through the Sizzix using polka dots, edges were roughed up, painted with a bright red acrylic paint and a small brad was placed through to hold the layers together. In person it looks a lot like leather. The green flowers were made using the green Kiwi pack of paper from my store. I used objects around my craft room to make the layered circles. I crinkled the layers up in my hand and sanded them with a large nail file. I used a small hole punch to make button type holes and I laced the ribbon through. Diamond Stickles were placed around the edges to make the layers stand out. 
The brown flowers were made using a dark brown and tan felt. I didn't want the circles to be perfect and I fluffed up the felt to make them fuzzy. Matching medium sized copper brads from the 350 piece embellishment set from my store were added. 
These flowers are gorgeous in person! I used Hot Mamma paper, cut them using three sizes of the Spellbinders scalloped circle die, pearl paint, and a painted brad for the center. I crinkled these layers up too, and it gave it a flower type texture. I used chipboard, cardstock, felt and pattern paper for my flowers. You can use acrylic, fabric, cardboard boxes you name it! These flowers are truly fun to make (: Next I am going to use my new Basic Grey 6x6 paper and layer the patterns!

Paper Crafts Santa Card!

I made this card for our Ladies Ink challenge last month (I am really behind). I cased this idea from the latest issue of Paper Crafts Magazine. They had a template I could print out, but of course I wanted to figure it out on my own. They have a cute winter owl I want to try also! For my Santa I used the circle scallop punch in place of a regular circle punch in their card. I also added Diamond stickles to the white in Santa's outfit. 

I am so sorry for the infrequent posts, I have had 4 sick children home for the past two weeks. It has put me behind in a lot of areas. I will be opening a special holiday page on my website soon (still working on it (:) I did a add a special Food Themed category that has a ton of food related products in one place! If you are into recipe cards, creating recipe albums or just love to eat you will love the products we have available. I also have Copics! If you haven't visited the store in awhile check it out and let me know what you think!

Eerie Acrylic Smash!

I had so much fun making this card!!! I used the tutorial on SCS for making an Acrylic Smash card. I used a $1 stamp set I found at Target the other day on the acrylic. I used Citrus acrylic paint on the underside and smashed it into eerie paper from Basic Grey. I used Diamond Stickles to highlight the stars and ghost images. Google eyes were added to the ghosts. The paper is all Eerie from Basic Grey found in my store. The ribbon is some that I had on hand. I popped it up with Sticky Doos. If you haven't tried this technique I encourage you to, it was a total blast (: Hope you are all having a great week! I am working hard to get caught up on challenges.
