You're My Cup Of Tea

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

 

Welcome back to the start of another week, and to the last Monday in April.  I hope you had a great and crafty weekend.  I was busy sewing, crocheting, and making a few cards. I know we all make lots of cards and we are probably storing them in a drawer somewhere.  I realized just how many I have tucked away when I was looking for cards to send to my friend for her church service project.  I have quite a few birthday cards and various holiday cards.  And I realize that I need to find a way to organize what I have so that I can use them. 

 

Today is my day to share over at the Lovebug Creations blog and I am sharing one of the cards that I made.

 

 

 

Details:

Lovebug Creations "Dahlia" Rumple Ribbon

stamp set is by Unity Stamps

paper is from my stash

sticky rhinestones

 

Now I'd like to ask each of you to go through your card stash and either use them or find a group to donate them to.  If you already do, then yay! 

 

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

It's Monday, Smile

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

 

It's the start of another week.  I hope everyone had a great weekend and if you celebrate Easter, I hope you had a great day.  We had a casual and relaxing Easter at home.  My college kid couldn't come home for the weekend and I was missing not having all my kiddies home for the holiday.  So we just kept it simple and stress free.

 

Today is my day to share over at Lovebug Creations and I am sharing this cute card featuring "Peach Blossom" Rumple Ribbon from the newly released "Southern Sass" collection.

 

 

Details:

"Peach Blossom" Rumple Ribbon

I used my favorite way of gluing down the ribbon while maintaining the rumples.

Carte Bella "Alphabet Junction" papers

Paper Smooches "Knick Knacks" stamp set

Paper Smooches "Scripty Sayings" sentiment

Trendy Twine

 

 

I hope my card made you smile :)

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Fabric Bunny Treat Bags

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

 

I hope you all had a great weekend.  I had a fun sewing filled weekend.  I have been reunited with my sewing machine and I am enjoying it.  I am still paper crafting and crocheting, but I just have an added was to de-stress and relax.

 

Today is my day to share with you over at Lovebug Creations and I am sharing these adorable, and easy to make, Fabric Bunny Treat Bags.

 

 

I saw Silhouette post this on Facebook and the cut file is free right now.  I made them in different spring prints for all my kids as well as my niece and nephews, and other family members.

There is quite a bit of room to fill them with goodies.  Each of these has a candy filled plastic carrot inside.  I filled the carrots with M&Ms, Kisses, and jelly beans.
 

Details:

The are simply made out of fabric, or you can use felt, and tied at the top to make the ears stand up.

 

I used some Rumple Ribbon to tie mine and I love the wrinkled look of the bows.  You can find the Rumple Ribbon collections here.

 

You can get the Silhouette file here.

 

 

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Kimi!  Here is my birthday card that I made for you.  I had a lot of fun making the birthday sun burst, and also making the pretty unicorn pink!  I hope you enjoy it!

 

 

 

Details:

* Lovebug Creations "BlueBells" Rumple Ribbon for the cloud

One of my favorite ways to add the Rumple Ribbon to my cards is to add some sticky tape and just lay the ribbon down.  I love to let the 'rumples' fall where they may.  I think it adds to the character :)

* DCWV "Birthday Wishes" paper stack

* Taylored Expressions "Ray of Sunshine" die

* Paper Smooches "Spectrum"

* Copics

* "Frosted Lace" Stickles

 

I'll be entering this card in Paper Smooches "Anything Goes" challenge, and the Craftin Desert Divas "Anything Goes" challenge.

 

 

Thank you hopping with us.

Hello Spring!

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

 

Welcome back to my little space in bloggy land :)  I've had quite a busy and crafty past week.  My kids and I spent a few days with the Grandparents.  I call it Camp Grandma and Grandpa.  My mom taught me a lot of quilting basics and helpful techniques, my son worked on his remote controlled car with Grandpa, my niece and my youngest played dolls and made lots of loom band bracelets, and my sister-in-law worked on making shaker cards. 

 

I've got a fun hangover, but it's my day to share over at the Lovebug Creations blog and I have a Spring card featuring some of their new Buttercup Rumple Ribbon.

 

 

Details:

The eggs were cut using the die from the My Creative Time "Hello Spring" stamp and die set.

The sentiment is from the same set.

I made the background paper by stamping the sentiment randomly all over the green cardstock using a Versamark ink pad.

The finishing touch is a bit of "Buttercup" Rumple Ribbon tied in a pretty bow.

 

 

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!
