Singing Bee's and Birthday Wishes!

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend?  I got a ton of stuff checked off my "to-do" list. I am hoping that I can stay motivated the next couple of days so that I can keep getting things done. I am going to try and stay off Facebook, Pinterest, and Flickr. Wish me luck!


I have a fun kid's birthday card to share with you today.

 The bee is supposed to be singing... does he look like he is singing? I made this card for a friend's little boy, he is obsessed with bee's. They have several bee hives on their property, so he's very knowledgeable on the subject.  He's definitely my "go to" guy whenever I need info about bee's. Anyway, I am hoping that he likes his card!

 For this card I used the following items:

Papers: PaperTrey Ink, Core'dinations, and My Minds Eye's, Kraft Fun Day Collection

 Sentiment stamp: My Creative Time's, Celebrate Good Times Stamp Set
Tag die: My Creative Time's, Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp Set
  Bee SVG: Bugs and Friends, from Treasure Box Designs

  Face: Peachy Keen Stamps, Stitches Face Assortment

   White Pen: Sakura Gelly Roll, Med.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day!

 

Super Hero Blog Hop!

Happy Friday! 

Welcome to the Super Hero blog hop! I am the last stop on the hop, so if you have arrived from  Amanda's blog you are in the right place! If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop, click here. 

With all the "super hero" movie's coming out, we thought it would be fun to have a hop dedicated to showing some fun "super hero" crafty ideas.

My first project was made with Jaded Blossom's newest stamp set called, Super Hero.

 I thought it would be fun to make a kids card. I am also trying to make more "boy" themed cards. These seem to be harder to make for some reason.

 For this card I used the following items:

Papers: PaperTrey Ink, Core'dinations, and BoBunny's Blast Off Collection

 Sentiment stamp: Jaded Blossom's, Super Hero Stamp Set
  Super Bear SVG: Jonathan's Bears SVG Collection

 Top Note shape SVG: Cheryl's Cute Bugs SVG Kit

   White Pen: Sakura Gelly Roll, Med.

My second card is one of my most favorite cards, ever. 

When I saw this SVG I knew exactly what I want to make with it. I love how it turned out. Hehehe!

 

 For this card I used the following items:

Papers: PaperTrey Ink and Core'dinations

 Sentiment stamp: My Creative Time's, You're My Best Buddy
  The underware SVG: Lettering Delights Chillin Collection. 

This set can only be purchased during the "check out" process. Put something into your cart and then do the checkout process and LD will give you the option to purchase this set.  You can delete whatever is in your cart and just purchase this set. (Irritating, I know.)
 Shield shape SVG: Made with free shapes in Make-the-Cut.

   White Pen: Sakura Gelly Roll, Med.

 So no blog hop is complete with out some sort of give-away!


The Grand Prize give-away is a YourStory Photo, Personal Book Binding Kit!

I will be choosing a winner from each blog, in this blog hop, then I will be selecting one "over all" winner from that list. So make sure that you leave a comment on each blog in the hop! 

 I will be choosing the winners via random.org and announcing the "over all" winner Monday morning right here on my blog!

I am also having a second give-away!

We're half way there people! I have so much to get accomplished by Saturday, wish me LOTS of luck! (Cause I am so going to need it!)

Guess what?

 Yep... I have another new baby card for you today. 

 

 This card had to be gender neutral. I think that I like it... I keep going back and forth. I ripped it apart several times and changed the colors around on the giraffe. This is the final outcome...

 

 For this card I used the following items:

Papers: PaperTrey Ink, Core'dinations, Echo Park's Happy Day's Collection

 Sentiment stamp & die: My Creative Time's, Teeny Tag Greetings.
  The giraffe SVG: Lettering Delights Chillin Collection. 

This set can only be purchased during the "check out" process. Put something into your cart and then do the checkout process and LD will give you the option to purchase this set.  You can delete whatever is in your cart and just purchase this set. (Irritating, I know.)
Shaped frame behind giraffe: Lettering Delights Cut-it-Set called, Queen of our Castle.

Here's one last look.

This Friday, I am co-hosting a super fun blog hop!

 

 I hop you will join us! It's going to be lots of fun!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

LOVE... is in the air!

Happy Monday!

Whew! So I promised to have a sewing tutorial up Saturday, but it didn't happen. Turns out sewing tutorials are a little more involved then I expected. I ran out of time and I want to make sure I don't miss anything, so I am going to push the post back a week or so. Be on the look out though! If all goes well and the feedback is good, I just might make it a weekly thing.

Anyway, on to today's card.

I really liked this cloud shape and I immediately saw the heart in the center part of the heart, so I thought the sentiment would work perfectly. I decided to keep it simple by creating the shadow layer behind the cloud and welding two of them together, to form the base of the card. I added the three smaller hearts for some color and contrast.

For this card I used the following items:
Papers: PaperTrey Ink, Core'dinations, Echo Park's Happy Day's Collection

 Sentiment stamp: My Creative Time's, Fly Away with Me Sentiments.
  Cloud SVG: Lettering Delights Chillin Collection, which can only be purchased during the "check out" process. Put something into your cart and then do the checkout process and LD will give you the option to purchase this set.  You can delete whatever is in your cart and just purchase this set. (Irritating, I know.)
Heart SVG's:  Free shapes from Make-the-Cut
  White Pen: Sakura Gelly Roll, Med.

I have quite a few friends who have either just given birth or are getting ready to pop. I've been bust making lots of baby gifts and new baby cards. I thought I would share one of the cards that I made, with you today.

My "All Star Baby" stamp set has gotten a work out this last couple of weeks. It's a great set! Do you have it? There are a ton of great sentiments that can be used on baby cards, scrapbook pages, and even baby shower invites.

Land of the Free

Happy Monday!

I realized this weekend that the 4th of July is steadily approaching. When did that happen? Anyway, I found some time yesterday afternoon and made a few cards.

This one is super simple. It didn't turn out exactly like what I had in mind, but I went with it... because to quote my friend Emma, "There are no mistakes in crafting". Right? :)

The papers are from PaperTrey Ink and Echo Park.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's, My Little Firecracker stamp set and the twine is from here.
