C4C469: Ground Hog Day

I am so excited to be joining the ladies at on the Crazy4Challenges blog for the month of February.

I am so glad that they invited me back to play!

Today is Ground Hog Day so the challenge is to use a Ground Hog image for your card.

Or...if like me you don't have a Ground Hog stamp, you can use any other round critter on your card!

A mouse is a ground critter...right?

I hope so because that's what I used!

I used Teachermouse2stamp set from The Stamps of Life for today's card.

Here is the inside of the card.

I colored the mouse with prisma pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

I used the coordinating dies and the mini bow die too!

Make sure you check out what the rest of the team at the Crazy4Challenges blog team created for today's challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

I colored the mouse with prisma Pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

Here is how the card looks when it's flipped open.

#1 Teacher

Today I have a new card to share with you using the teachermouse2stamp and matching dies.

I used the Sizzix Scallop Edge Drop In Card die for this card too!

I had fun with the inside and used the Sizzix One in a Million 3D drop In die along with a stamp from the set.

This is a fun set!

Perfect for school/teacher cards but also great for lots of other occasions too!

Thanks for stopping by.

Time for School

Hard to believe that summer is nearly over and the kids will soon be back in school.

It's the perfect time to make a few cards for the teachers so you have them ready to welcome them back or to give them a Thank You!

I made today's card with House Mouse Designs Teacher Time.

I colored the image with colored pencils.

The paper is one of my favorites from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

The sentiment is from the Laurel Burch Floral Greetings set.

Box full of Apples

So excited by the latest release from The Stamps of Life!

It's called Paterns4apples

I used the Box Card Die Set for this fun card.

It's a great way to showcase all these fun apples.

I used Apples2stamp and the matching dies too!

The new apple sets have tons of versatile sentiments but this is the one that will get the most use from me since my daughter and future DIL are both teachers!

Want more inspiration?

Apples2stamp

The first of the month means that it is time for the new stamp of the month release from The Stamps of Life!

The new set is called Apples2stamp.

I used the Sizzix half A2 card die for this sample.

This is a super fun set that is perfect for lots of occasions but having a daughter who is a teacher, I know it will get lots of use for her!

I just love how the Sizzix half A2 card die can adapt to almost any stamp!

You can check out more samples in the Gallery.

Saturday Sketch #6

It's time for the Saturday Sketch challenge...the day where Chaunnelle and I challenge each other to create something with one of the sketches that we have been meaning to try forever!

Today was Chaunelle's turn to challenge and she found this fun sketch from Seize the Sketch.

Here's the card I created with an image from High Hopes Stamps.

I used some Queen and Co. Washi Tape.

The image is Writing Mouse from High Hopes.

I colored it with Colored Pencils.

I love this image and I love this sketch.

So fun and easy to make Teacher cards with!

Now go check out what Chaunnelle made for the challenge!

I bet it's awesome!

Thank You Teacher!

Hello High Hopes Fans!

I have another teacher card to share with you today.

The patterned paper that I used on last weeks card was still lying around on my table so I decided to make another card with it.

This time I used the Mouse Tales stamp.

All the patterned paper is The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.

The ribbon is also from Hobby Lobby.

The image was colored with colored pencils.

The sentiment is Large Script Thank You from High Hopes.

I hope you enjoyed my card today!

Flippin' for my Teacher

Hello All!

Today I have a super fun card for your favorite teacher!
My favorite teacher is my daughter who teaches 4th grade in Oregon.
It's a very tough profession and I am very proud of her for giving it her all!

So this card was inspired by her.
This adorable image is Writing Mouse from High Hopes Stamps.

I used the Sizzix Rectangle Flip It card die for the card base.

I colored the image with my Tombow USA recycled colored pencils.

I used the "out of the box" technique to cut around the top of the pencil so that it stuck out of the image box.

The sentiment that I used for this card is a High Hopes image but I can't find it in the store right now.

When I do I promise that I will come back to update this post.

In the meanwhile, I think you could use any of these sentiments....Thank you so much,  A is for Apple,  or To teach is to touch.

The polka dot paper is Recollections paper from Michael's.
The school themed paper is The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.
The twine is May Arts and the little apple is a brad from Eyeletoutlet.com

It's time for the High Hopes February Challenge.
