Squirrel!!!

Happy Friday!!!

I just wanted to share a quick card that I made for my bestie's hubby's birthday. He has a lot of "squirrel" moments, so when I saw the Easily Distracted stamp set, I had to buy it.  The inside of the card is stamped with "Sorry, I am easily distracted." and "Happy Birthday!", which also come with the stamp set.

Pot of Gold!

Happy Thursday!!!

I thought I would share this cute pot of gold that I made for a friend. It was relatively easy to put together and I love how it turned out. Hopefully, my friend will too. 

I sized the pot file to 3.25” tall, cut it out, and put it together. Second, I cut out the shamrock die, tied twine to the button, glued the button to the shamrock, and then attach it to the pot. The flag piece is 5.5” x  1.25”, fold in half and stamp with the sentiment, cut the end (so it looks like a flag), cut skewer to 5”, and attached the flag at the top with glue.  Fill with candy and slip in the flag.

Whatever Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!!!

Today is "Whatever Wednesday" on the My Creative Time blog. I made a card for a friend. She loves giraffe's, so I found this sweet file in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon store. I also altered the stitched scalloped tag a bit too. I have a video here, showing how to do it. I love how it turned out, hopefully she will too.

Try Me Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Today is Try Me Tuesday on the My Creative Time blog.  The challenge was to use any of the MCT dies – in a way that is unexpected. (I confused this challenge with another, so my card doesn't work with the challenge, but I am posting it anyway.) 
I made a birthday card with one of the sentiments from the newest release.

I found this paper pack at Big Lots a couple weeks ago. I love the colors and patterns so much, I bought two stacks.

Made in Minutes

Happy Monday!!!

Today is Made in Minutes Monday over on the My Creative Time blog. I made a St. Patty's Day card.

I love the all around sentiment stamps and was trying to think of a different way to use them, other then with the Stitched Circle Die. I think my idea together pretty well and I put it together in less then 15 minutes.
