Hip-Hip-Hooray Meil Lin

Today is my friend’s daughter’s birthday. Mei Lin, with her pinwheel, is so perfect with the Big Top Birthday DSP. And I love the bright colors for a little girl’s birthday card.

I forgot to take a picture of the inside, but I made a little pocket for some birthday money.

Don’t forget to stop by Sister Stamps blog for more information on their stamps and to check out their New Year’s release!

Milk Carton Box

I was debating on getting the milk carton die because I've been seeing this box all over the internet and thought it was so cute. My friend has the die, so she sent me some pre-cut paper so I could try it out. I decided to go with a Christmas theme for this one.
It was a LOT of folding. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but probably not something I would mass produce. I think making the box is easier than making the milk carton itself cause when you make a milk carton, the top has to line up to look nice. But because the ribbon cinches the top closed on the box version, you can't really tell if it doesn't align perfectly.

Anyway, the verdict is still out on if I'll buy this die or not, but it is a really cute box. I've seen a similar box using the candy wrapper die, which I already own, so I might try that pattern out first to see if it has similar results. I'll keep you posted.

Sister Stamps Christmas Tags

Today I have some Christmas tags I made using Sister Stamps. Here is Setsuna with his sack full of gifts.

And Yuki is so happy with her stocking full of goodies.

These stamps are so cute, I had to make some tags out of them. The tags are a little big, but I think on a gift box they will be perfect. Check out the Sister Stamps blog for more information on how to get your own stamps and to see their New Year's release!

Cupcake Birthday card

Another card using Big Top Birthday paper. I just can't get enough of it! I used lots of scallops on this card - it is a tad on the too busy side, but I think it still works.
I love the red glimmer paper for the cherry!

Can you believe it is November already?! Crazy!!

Happy Halloween!

I made a few of these treats for my friend's kids for Halloween. The candy sleeves are so handy!
Here's a close up of the owls. I used the peakaboo frames die and spider web embossing folder.

Happy haunting!

Super easy card

I had some leftover DSP from a project that I was working on, and I happened to turn it over and saw the big flower perfectly positioned for this super simple birthday card. All I had to do was add the sentiment and it was done!
Love it when things fall together like this! Have a great weekend!

Baby card

My sister requested some baby cards, so I made this card for her. I love using my die cut letters. The duckies are from the Every Little Bit stamp set.
I still like the bright colors in the Big Top Birthday paper. Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Shower booties

I made a baby shower card using the new Stitched Stocking stamp set and matching Stocking Builder Punch. I also used the stripes and polka dots embossing folders to add more texture.
Hope you had a great weekend! We were busy decorating the house for Halloween. We're a little late this year, but at least we got them all up!
