Mothers Day Cards

Here are two cards that I made for Mothers day that was inspired by a cute card on Pinterest for the top card.  They are very simple but I love how they came out!

CWWC Sketch Challenge

Crafting When We Can is having a sketch challenge. Tickled Pink Stamps is the sponsor this week.

This is such a cute image. When I saw her I thought I would use her over and over again. She just seems so bright and cheerful. Her name is Lil Birthday Pinkette Faith. The sentiment is from Pink By Design.

Such a simple sketch to follow. Join in the fun at CWWC.

Owl birthday card

 I cut the owl with my cricut from Create a Critter.  Any-hoo a friend who loves owls just had a birthday so I made her this card. I placed some cute papers then added some green bakers twine (Martha Stewart pack). Some glitter brads and the cute sentiment.

The sentiment stamp is from K Andrew designs. I recently discovered her stamps and am having fun with them. This one is from Food for Thought. Perfect for birthday cards.

Here is the message I put inside of the card.
Perfect timing for an owl card since K Andrew is having an Owl and something recycled challenge. My recycled object is the green card stock. It was the backside of another project I had made.

Sunflower Birthday Cards

So as I said on Friday I will be using this image from Pattie's Creations often. I just love it (which I think I already said :) The Birthday hugs and wishes if from Pink By Design.

I put the image in a frame and loved how it came out.

I colored these with Copics and added Stickles to the butterflies wings. The paper is from DCWV Spring Fling.

Meljens Sunflower Cards

I just finished up twenty birthday cards for a customer and made some Mother's Day cards while I was at it.

I used Meljen's cute sunflower and added a frame around it. Bugaboo gave away this free frame awhile back and I am seeing the possibilities. I colored both images with Copics and added Stickles to the bees and small flowers on the bottom card and the center of the sunflower on the top card.

I am entering these cards into Meljen's current spring challange

Inspired Stamps Flower Cards

On Thursday I posted a couple of the flower cards I made. Here are some others. The flowers are from Inspired Stamps Butterflies and Blooms set. The sentiment are Studio G dollar stamps from Michaels.

I am not happy with the bottom card. I design was ok but the paper was too thin and warped with the Stickles so back to the drawing board with this one.

Pattie's Creations Photo Challenge

This is a Pattie's Creations digital stamp. I see myself using this image often. I colored it with Copics.

The combination of this paper and this image sure made for a cute card. I cut out some butterflies and faux stitched them to match the ribbon. I added a couple brads and perfection. I love this card. The challenge is to use the photo below for inspiration.

CDAC Something in the Air

CDAC has a new challenge up.  Check it out! This time our theme is, "There Is Something In The Air". Perfect for all the butterfly cards I have been seeing. I was given this fun cat image. I colored the cat and butterfly with Copics. I added Stickles to the butterfly and the necklace on the cat.

Lots of Flowers Bday Cards

Here are two of the 6-8 of these cards I am working on. I love this flower stamp and decided to repeat it. The stamp is from Inspired Stamps Butterflies and Blooms.

I cover the bottom of the white paper with a strip of paper and stamped the flowers all across it. I colored the leaves green with my Copic and added Stickles to the flowers. I used the Happy Birthday from Perfect Sentiments after I finished the flowers.

Girly Birthday Card

 Here is a birthday card I made for my niece. I used a Meljen's Designs image that I just love. She is so cute and perfect for a young girls birthday card.

 I colored her with Copics.

I used some twine to add a flag with a cute Pink By Designs stamp on it.
I am entering this into Meljen's current Pink and Green challenge.

Sunflower Birthday Card

 I made this card for a dear friend. I thought the bright cheery colors were perfect and wanted to use dots for Meljen's Current challenge.

 I used a Meljen's Design for the image. I colored this sunflower with Copics and added Stickles to the small flowers and bee.

 This sentiment is from K Andrew Designs. I thought it went perfect with this cheery card.

The inside I used a Fiskar sentiment that I have had for a long time. Thanks for stopping by!

3x3 Mini Cards

I made my first 3x3 swap set of cards. I like making little cards it is fun. I used a Pink By Design sentiment that I cut out with Lacy Ovals Spellbinders. I added a couple brads and some twine. It is difficult to dress up such a small card but I was happy with how they came out.

Easter boxes

Happy Easter everyone! Today is a very important holiday for my family. We make a big deal out of Easter. Let's not forget the true reason for the holiday as we are hunting eggs and thinking of bunnies. Jesus gave his life for us all.
So for my last Easter project I found these cute containers at Joann's 50% off so $2.50 for 6 and thought I would just make cute tags and fill them with candy for my nieces and nephews. I know they get a ton of stuff but I wanted to make them a little something.

I used my favorite animal on these tags. I colored this cute turtle from Bugaboo with Copics and attached with twine.

These two I used a Stamping Boutique super cute bunny.

 I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Thanks for stopping by.

The Happy Easter is from Inspired Stamps Perfect Sentiments. The paper is The Paper Studio. I cut the purple scallop square from Winter Wonderland and cut part of it off to use on another project. I stamped the sentiment and faux stitched the edge. I added some twine and there you have it.

Bunny Easter Treats

 So after making candy bags for my students (posted below) and these for my husbands co workers. I decided that I would make more candy sticks instead of bags. 30 bags later I made about 20 candy sticks too (below).

 These bunnies are cute from Doodlecharms and have Peachy Keen faces. I used the "surprised" face since they are giving candy poop after all. I added some blush because they are embarrassed of course.  The square is from Spellbinders Lacy Squares and twine bow on the ear.

So I was tired of bags and they were eating up all my candy so I made some more sticks. Now the layout of these I totally stole from Kim at Puppies and Paper Crafts. I love Kim she is a fellow teacher and has the best ideas.

I used three kinds of candy in the stick bags so people will have a choice. M&M's of course, jelly beans and smarties. Smarties aren't egg shaped but small and shaped poopy enough. I already explained the bunny on top. So now for the container I am putting these in.

I bought this square spring container last year and finally found a use for it.

 Here are the close ups of the two super cute Stamping Boutique images. I am really falling in love with Stamping Boutique. They are a new find for me and I am collecting away.

Thanks for stopping by! I love all my followers and hope that I inspire you half as much as you inspire me. One more Easter project post to go :)
