Charcuterie

Today I'm sharing a card using this lovely sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches:

My folks gifted me some cash for stamping supplies for Christmas and I was super excited to use part of that to pick up the recently released Char-cute-rie stamps and dies from Avery Elle :) Such a cute and clever set (and you know I can't resist a good pun *wink)!!! I had tons of fun creating with them! Here's what I made:

I die-cut all of the pieces from white cardstock and then added color with ink and blending brushes. I die-cut the board from kraft cardstock and then embossed it to give it a woodgrain texture. Even added some white gel pen dots to the pretzels to make them salty :)

 

There are also some dies that cut strawberries, cookies, cherries, etc. so I made a "sweets" version too:

I still have a pile of pieces (and there's another board in the set too), so I'll definitely be creating more cards with these goodies very soon!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for visiting!

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!

Love You Watts

Today I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fun With Dies :)

I needed to make some Valentines for my niece and my grandma, and I remembered this cute lightbulb die set that I believe came as a freebie with one of my Taylored Expressions orders a while back. I hadn't used it yet and thought it would be fun to pair it up with a punny sentiment and create a couple of Valentine's Day cards.

Here's what I came up with:

I added some sparkle to the filaments with a Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer Pen (Nuvo). I LOVE how they glisten!

I had so much fun making these cards and hope that my niece and my grandma get a kick out of them!!!

Thanks for visiting! Enjoy your weekend!!!

I Flipping Adore You

Working on some Valentine's Day creations and playing along with two card challenges: (1) Day of the Month Card Club - "Squirrel Appreciation Day" and (2) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - "Too Cute!"

Apparently January 21st is National Squirrel Day in the United States :) Who knew?!?!!! But when I saw this challenge prompt I immediately thought of the totally adorable Jump For Joy stamp set from Neat and Tangled.

Here's what I made:

That soaring squirrel ALWAYS brings a smile to my face!!! Soooo stinkin' cute!!!!

These images remind me of my niece :) She loves to jump on the trampoline and she frequently convinces Aunt Lisa to join her whenever I'm visiting! FUN!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a fantastic weekend!!!
