Craftin' Desert Diva's Easter Link Up Party!

Hello everyone!

Today I have a project that is being featured on the Craftin' Desert Diva's Easter Link Up Party...

I made two of these necklaces from my daughters to wear on Easter.  I found a cute picture of a bunny on-line and sized to to fit on a scrabble tile().  Then I cut it out using our Scrappy Moms Stamps Alphabet Soup die.  I used our Scrabble Tile Necklace Kit to make the necklaces. 

I punched the shape with a Fiskar's punch and then stamps a sentiment from SMS The Charmed Life set to complete the project.  :)

Thank you for stopping by to see my project - be sure to link you Easter project for a chance to win a Scrappy Moms Stamps set of your choice.

Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Easter :)

Can you believe it's almost Easter?

For my TTC project today I decided to try to stamp on fabric. I did a little research and it said that pigment inks will work on fabric, you just need to heat set them. So on I went...


I made these little bunny shaped sacks, the pattern can be found HERE. I left the top open so I could add jelly beans as a treat. The ribbon closes the opening and make the cute shape. Each one of my kids has their one bunny, for my youngest I even used a shirt he recently outgrew. :)

I used VersaFine pigment ink and it worked great - no smearing, no smudging. I didn't wash then after so I'm not sure how it would hold up. If anyone has stamped on fabric before I would love to hear what happened after you wash your project.

The stamp I used is one of my favorites from Scrappy Moms Stamps - The Charmed Life. I hope you like my Easter project today - be sure to check out the other DT projects, they're GREAT! :D

Homemade Christmas Blog Hop!

Merry Christmas and welcome! I'm sure you enjoyed Elsa's project, isn't she fabulous?!

Thank you for joining me today - I hope you like what I have to show you! These are my Christmas cards for this year. I made 2 sets of 10 different cards for a total of 20 handmade Christmas cards - whew!! :)



I used the same basic layout for all the cards - a mat of green cardstock with a white mat on top that I Cuttlebug-ed. I used the Snowflake, Distressed Stripe, Argyle, Swiss Dots, Polka Dots, and Script embossing folders by Cuttlebug and the Large Dots embossing folder by Quickutz. I use red Organdy ribbon from Joanns. Oh, a note about this ribbon - YUCK! I thought because it was sheer it would be easy to manipulate - boy, was I wrong! I would have picked a softer sheer ribbon if I had to do it again, this one was really stiff.
The Santa is cut from A Childs Year. The trees, mouse, baby Jesus, and presents are from Winter Frolic. The gingerbread man is from Just Because Cards. The Snowpeople and reindeer are from Winter Woodland. The angel and teddy bear are from Christmas Solutions, while the present the bear is leaning up against is from Sweethearts and stretched on my Gypsy. Wow was that lots of info!!!
It's hard to tell but I used Stickles or some kind of bling on each card - take a peek at some closer pictures to see if you can find it! LOL




The stamps are from Scrappy Moms Winter Wishes and The Charmed Life stamp sets. :)
I hope you enjoyed my cards! For blog candy I a giving away your choice of a Scrappy Moms Stamp set! Just leave me a comment for an chance to win - of course, if you like what you see here I'd love to have you join in and follow me. :)

The Gift Giving Season Has Started! :) ** Info Update!

We had the last meeting for the year at my MOMS group so I made little gifts for all the ladies at my table. I started off making a cute little fall-themed project I saw on Greenbean's Crafterole (if you haven't visited her before take a few minutes for look around - she's awesome!! ) - soap leaves! Then I made some homemade caramel corn (Yum!) and put it in these cute little holiday buckets with the recipe on top.

Last, but not least, I made little angel Christmas tree ornaments from butterfly paperclips. YES, PAPERCLIPS! I saw this idea on line while looking for a craft project for my Brownie Girl Scout to do with her troop at their Christmas party.

You use ribbon, one paperclip, one round silver bead, and one decorative spacer bead for the halo. I made this tiny (3.5"x 2.5") card as my delivery method. I was going to make a box but I figured this would do double duties as greeting card. I punched the side with Fiskars Apron Lace border punch and punched a hold for the end of the ribbon to fit through. I taped the tail of the ribbon the the inside cover of the card and lined the other side with white cardstock so there would be contrast behind the punch. The "You're an Angel!" stamp on the front and the "Sending you Christmas blessings" stamp I used on the inside are from our Scrappy Moms Winter Wishes stamp set. ** Just wanted to share a little hint in case you want to make these little ornaments yourself. The silver beads have pretty small holes since they are made for jewelry wire - I used a needle threader and pulled one side of the ribbon through 1st, then put the needle threader back in and pulled through the 2nd side of the string. I tried to do them both at the same time but it was too thick. I didn't mind doing it twice, it's kind of therapeutic! LOL **
The ladies really seemed to enjoy their little gifts - hopefully, I can keep up the crafty gift production through the holiday! LOL
Have a wonderful weekend! See you next week when The Scrappy Moms DT will be introducing a brand new stamp set! :)
