You're Waffle-y Cute

 

Hello there! Sharing a card I created for the current Time Out Challenge: New. 

My card features some adorable new goodies I purchased from Lawn Fawn...and a super fun pop-up element that I learned from Jennifer McGuire.

When I saw the A Waffle Lot stamp set from Lawn Fawn I literally squealed with delight and knew I absolutely HAD to have it! I love puns and this is just so stinking cute!!!

Then...I was watching a replay of a Crafty Cohorts livestream that Jennifer McGuire did with Greg from Concord & 9th on January 8th. In that video she shows this super fun way to create a pop-up element on your card. I decided to give it a try on today's card. This is how it looks when you open it:

 

Isn't that fun?!?!!! And it was so easy to make AND required no special dies or supplies! Woohoo!!! You can find Jennifer's blog post and the video HERE. Highly recommend trying it out! It'll make you giddy :)

I was so giddy over mine that I had to make another one. This one is for my mom to give to my niece for Valentine's Day. My mom makes my niece breakfast every morning before taking her to school. My niece sometimes requests waffles...and when she does she likes to have them topped with whipped cream AND a chocolate chip in each of the little waffle dimples. She's been eating her waffles this same exact way for as long as I can remember (and she's 11 now). So, here's Mya's waffles (Although I couldn't quite fit a chocolate chip in each dimple---ha! This will have to do.)

 

I hope she gets a kick out of this card!!! I had tons of fun creating it!

Thanks for visiting! I hope you like what I've shared.

Have a great day!

Wishing You A Happy Easter

Popping in quickly today to share a couple of Easter cards I made :) Linking these up at the current Global Design Project Challenge.

I don't have very many Easter-themed supplies, so I went with some Springtime florals and an Easter sentiment. I was so happy with how this little number turned out that I made another in a different color combo:

 

Planning to send one to my grandma and the other to my mom and dad :)

Sending Hugs and Get Well Soon

Today I'm playing along with the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge :)

Here's the sketch:

And here's my take:

I love the little critters in Lawn Fawn's Get Well Before 'N Afters set! So cute!!! My neighbor girlfriend, Kim, fractured her patella (yikes!) and is recovering from surgery, so I'll be delivering this to her mailbox very soon. Hoping it makes her smile :) She's an avid hiker and is already going stir crazy just one week out of surgery, so I added a sentiment inside:

My dad also had surgery earlier this week (for carpal tunnel), so I made another card to snail mail to him. The layout is the same, but I changed up the images :)

 

Hope he likes it!

I had so much fun making these cards!!!

Thanks for visiting! And please pray and send positive energy to our state of Colorado. The fires are still burning and growing. It's really scary! They've even closed the National Forests in our county and surrounding counties in an effort to keep people safe and prevent more fires from starting. The forecast is predicting snow for us for this weekend, so everybody do your snow dance!!! We need moisture!!!

Smile

Hello there! Today I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. The theme this time around is "Anything Goes"---YAY!

I recently came across Paula Dobson's tutorial for tea bag and coffee holders on YouTube and decided to give it a go :) Here's how it turned out:

Lawn Fawn's Love You A Latte stamps and dies were perfect for dressing up the little holders, which were very simple to put together :) I tied the tops together with some jute twine and a felt leaf (I've literally been hoarding these things for YEARS!!! Time to put them to use---ha!)

I decided to make mine tea and chocolate square holders. The tea bag is in the front pocket and the chocolate is in the back pocket. Here's a look at the back:

 

I also inserted a small blank piece of cardstock in the back as a place to write a message. My color combo came from the contents of the package. Here's a look at all the pieces:

These were so much fun to make that I ended up creating a bunch more!

I REALLY wanted to use the to-go cup in the stamp set, so that sparked the idea of making a few more without the tea and chocolates (to use as gift card holders):

I still put a blank piece of cardstock in the back pocket as a place to write a message (and you could still put a chocolate in there too---why not, right?!?!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!

Sending Warm And Cozy Hugs

 

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm playing along with The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge :) The theme is "Anything But A Card," so I created some gift card holders using the Coffee Gift Card Holder Honey Cuts from Honey Bee Stamps. So super fun!

Here's a look:

The dies make these so easy to create! The sleeve slides on and off to access the gift card and also serves to hold the gift card in place.
 

I watched a video by my incredibly talented friend, Nichol Spohr, where she used vellum for the sleeve, and I really loved the way it allowed more of the patterned paper to show on the overall design.

I had such a great time creating these that I decided to make some more in other patterns!

I hope you're having a wonderful week so far!

Thanks for visiting!!!

For You

Happy Sunday! Today I'm playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge :)

Here's the sketch:

And here's my card:

This is an A1 size card which measures 3 1/2" x 4 7/8". I don't make this size card very often but I do love it---especially for sets of cards. I ended up making a set of 4---keeping the same layout but changing up the colors, patterned papers, and sentiments.

I had so much fun dressing these Concord and 9th die-cut pumpkins up in plaid (Lawn Fawn)! They're so festive! I think these would make a great little Autumn giftie for friends or family!

Thanks for visiting!

My husband and Pepper are out bird hunting, so I'm having lots of fun getting crafty in my studio! Hope you're having a great weekend!

Here's my creation:

I totally adore this little Winter Otter from Lawn Fawn! Sooo cute! It was sitting in my "never been used" pile (gasp!) just waiting to be inked up. I decided this one was a sea otter living among the icebergs in Alaska :) Never too early to get crackin' on the holiday cards, right?!?!

Happy Holidays

 Today I'm sharing a card I created for Week One of the "Bringing the Cheer Challenge," a super fun month-long holiday card challenge that's happening over on Instagram. Click HERE to learn more details about how  to play along :)

As you can see above, the prompt for Week One is to create a holiday project from non-holiday products. Here's what I came up with:

I made the background panel by stamping the Sketched Stripes Background (Concord and 9th) in Grass Skirt (Catherine Pooler). Then, I turned the background stamp 180 degrees and stamped it again in Rockin' Red (Catherine Pooler). To finish, I turned the background stamp 90 degrees and stamped it in Tuxedo Black Memento (Tsukineko). The bear is from the Floral Print Silhouette Dies Set (Concord and 9th) and the sentiment is from Happy Happy Happy (Lawn Fawn).

I had so much fun making this card!!! Thanks to Karen, Kelly and Amy for hosting this challenge! So grateful for the encouragement to think outside of the box!

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend! Stay safe and healthy!
