Puppy Love

I am going to share with you today the goodie bags I made for my 2nd grader's class for valentines.  She picked out the stamp and told me what she wanted to cut out with my cricut.  So here is what we came up with.  My daughter picked out a boy dog and a girl dog for her classmates.

Sorry for the angle my camera must have read the angle wrong when I took the pictures. 

Cartridge: Create a Critter

Stamps are from My Pink Stamper for the sentiment

Good day all, how is everyone doing today?  I would like to share with you a Valentine bag I made for the daughter of my friend.  When I gave her the Sheep Valentine she talked about how her daughter likes cows, so I decided to surprise them both by making a Cow Valentine bag for her daughter. They absolutely loved it and thought it was adorable!  Let me know what you think:

Wool you be mine?

Good morning everyone.  I know I have neglected my blog for a while. I am still crafting almost daily, it just takes me a while to get my pictures onto my computer. So I am finally ready to show you my projects for Valentines. 
Here is one I made for fun and gave it to a good friend of mine. She loved it! and I thought it turned out super cute too!

Cartridges: Plantin Schoolbook, and Create a Critter

I used my sizzix sidekick for the tag

the stamp is from My Pink Stamper

I punched out some hearts and glued them around the cirlce to make my border

Stickles were used on the bows

More Punny-licious Birhday cards!

I realized I need to catch up on showing you guys cards that I have made for my card swap.  The one I will show you today is when we had to make a birthday card.  I wanted to use the More Punny-licious stamp set from My Pink Stamper, I couldn't decide between using "Hippo Birthday" or "Snappy Birthday" so I ended up doing both.  I really like how each of them turned out too.  I used the same basic layout for each card but changed the colors and paper.

For the "Hippo Birthday" card I used Create a Critter for my hippo, ribbon and ink from Stampin Up, Stickles, Patterned paper from Imaginisce, my Cuttelbug-swiss dots folder, and the stamp from MPS-More Punnylicious stamp set. 

For my "Snappy Birthday" card I used the turtle from Create a Critter cartridge, paper from SEI, ribbon from my stash, Cuttlebug-swiss dots folder, ink from Stampin Up, stamp from MPS-More Punnylicious stamp set; I used some clear embossing powder from Stampendous to bring out the watermark effect a little more.

I hope you all like what you see and are inspired to create something for someone else. 

Thank you for taking a look and let me know what you think.
