Life is Tweet Blog Hop....

Welcome to June's SOTM Blog Hop featuring artwork from over 50 Consultants using "Life is Tweet" stamp set! 

Here's how CUTE and TWEET the stamp set is...lol
The images outlined in red can be cut using the A/P Cartridge and CTMH makes it even easier by telling you what size to set your dial to...cool, huh!

If you've come from Allisa's Blog, you're on the right track...just keep hopping 'till you get all the way back around to where you started!
Let's get on to what I decided to do this month...a 8"x3-1/2" card using our die-cut cards.  I also mingled several paper packets together...Stella, Florentine and the Dotty for You paper packet that was a special in May (I hope you had a chance to get your hands on this paper packet 'cause it is CUUUUUTE!!!!)

Here's my card...the pennant is adhered to the card using 3D Foam Tape with no adhesive at the end of the pennant so the die-cut flap can slide in behind it and be kept closed...
-----------------------------------
Here's a close up of the bird which I stamped in Cocoa Ink on the card front then paper-pieced her together by stamping her again on two different B&Ts and cut the pieces out that I wanted to use...
----------------------------------
Here's the inside of the card...all decorated up...like I said, there are some images that can be cut using the A/P Cartridge but I was being a little lazy and cut the "Life is Sweet" by hand... 

Thanks for stopping by...don't forget to hop on over to Traci's blog and see what cute thing she's created for you!!!

More Dotty For You...

Pin It

In the Dotty For You Blog Hop earlier this month, I posted some cards that weren't quite finished.  Here's another look at my cards...you can also check out the entire hop <<<here>>>
-----------------------------------------
I finally had time to work on a few...here's one.  I cut the penants and the circles using my A/P Cartridge...LOVE that thing!!!

--------------------------------------------
This close-up is to show you that I actually cut circles in the Grey Wool cardstock and layered it over the B&T.  And...of course I had to add some of my doodling...

Handmade gift for Baby "E"...

Pin It



So...I tried my hand at a onesie and burp cloth for Baby "E" and also made a card so my co-worker could give the whole package.

It only took me an hour-and-a-half but it was my first time so I'm hoping my next one doesn't take me as long.  I got the idea from Pinterest of course!
