Penguin sliders!

Hello Stampers!  Did the title of this post draw your interest?  I considered changing it because my first thought was a slider like a little sandwich and I didn't want you to think I was cooking and eating penguins!!!  But I kept the title because then it made me laugh!  After that lead in, here is the card:

 This super cute card was displayed at a stamping event I recently attended.  I thought it was just adorable using the Snow Place stamp set and the Sliding Star Framelits.  The Snow Place stamp set even has coordinating framelits called the Snow Friends Framelits.  

I'm off on a scrapbooking weekend this weekend so there won't be any card creating for a few days!  Just lots of pages!!!

Get Well Shaker card

Hello Stampers!  Isn't it hard to come up with a clever idea for get well cards?  I know we all need them, and we would like a feel good, make me laugh type of card.  But ideas are just hard!  Well I have a fun get well card to show you today!  This was a sample at a Stampin' Up! event I recently attended.  I love this idea!

 It's a shaker card!  And can you tell what is inside?  Those are little pasta shapes!  I think the little letter pasta would really be cute too!  And of course shaker cards are super easy to make now with the foam strips!  The stamp with the soup bowl is the Get Well Soup stamp from the annual catalog.

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back tomorrow because you won't want to miss the super cute card I'm going to show then!!!

Thinking of you!

Hello Stampers!  Happy Monday!  I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend with your families!  Our weather here has been wonderful, although I have to say that I am certainly not ready for winter!  

I have a cute but simple card to show you today!  I love the simplicity and cuteness of this card!  I saw this card at a recent event that I attended for demonstrators and it is also in the catalog!  

The frog on this card is the cute little frog from the the Love You Lots hostess stamp set!  

I just never seem to think about CASEing the cards from the catalog, but I really should!  That's what they are there for!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Pet Sympathy using Swirly Bird

Hello Stampers!  I recently saw this card on display and decided I need to take a picture so that I have it for reference in the future.  I just hate it when someone looses their family pet.  If they are anything like me, my pets become like my kids.  I just become so attached.  I thought this card was such a great idea and super simple to make.  What do you think?

 This card uses the Swirly Bird stamp set for the paw print and the Rose Wonder stamp set for the greeting.  It also has one of the swirlies from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits set.  Such a cute card and fairly simple to make!

I've got my all day crop tomorrow so I hope to get a lot of projects done and can show you some next week!  Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas swaps

Hello Stampers!  Would you like to see the swaps that we received at our team meeting this last weekend?  Our theme this month was Christmas cards!  I will share mine first and give you directions and the recipe.

 The Ho, Ho, Ho comes from the Greetings from Santa stamp set in the Holiday catalog.  I stamped it first and then ran the Whisper White cardstock through the Big Shot using the Softly Falling embossing folder.  I love this embossing folder!  The santa hat was punched out of the Real Red and Whisper White cardstock using the Jolly Hat Builder punch which is also from the Holiday catalog.

Here are the other swaps that I received:

 Jeri made this card.

Family blocks

Hello Stampers!  Monday's are my days to show you other crafts that I have been working on.  Today's project is one that I just love!  

 Isn't this fun?  I painted the blocks first.  Then added a layer of designer series paper.  On top of that is the vinyl letters that were cut using a Silhouette.  So simple and fun!  But, I wanted something that as going to be very functional, so I did this to the other side:

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you enjoyed this project!
