owl make lots of stuff with this set.... ;)

I went to my LSS yesterday and went a little crazy in there, because she's closing the doors soon.  So sad :(  Anyway.......... I've been wanting to get the Lawn Fawn goodie bag die for a long time, so I allowed myself to get it.  OMG. It's sooo cute. I want to make them forever everyone and everything.  haha.  And I also got this super cute owl stamp set by Jane's Doodles (and papers, and other stuff. ;) )

I was eager to play, and made a card and a bag that I'd like to share:

Here's the bag.  I just love that paper and have decided I'm going back for more later today.  I colored the owl with copics and a stella wink glitter pen (which of course you can't tell).  I stamped and put vellum on the leaves.  The flowers I made with tissue and sizzix/tsol mini flower dies on a twig I got from outside.

 see... pretty inside, too.  ;)

 and a card.  the background paper is real wood paper.  LOVE. 

TFL!! 

Mother's Day cards

Two more Mother's Day cards for the Grandmas in our lives. 

Using The Stamps of Life's momanddad2love stamp set, along with bicycle2stamp stamps and dies, I created this first card. Here's the front and inside....

 This card is also using the momanddad2love stamp set, along with the flower border die from the Sizzix Friends Forever step up card die set.

Gifts have been purchased and now I just need to mail them.  :) 

Cheveron, happy, beautiful....

New dies have been released over at The Stamps of Life. 

Here's a card I created using the fun cheveron die set.  I cut out the shapes, then put different colored cardstock behind each one.  I also did the long cheveron on the inside of the card with a shorter front.  Then I decided I didn't like when cards can't be stood up, so I glued a piece of acetate along the bottom, so it's a full size card front, but you can still see the inside border.  :)   The stamp is from the Upliftingwords2hear stamp set.

This is the Sizzix friends forever step up card die, along with the sizzix bee triplit dies.  Papers and flowers are TSOL.  Thinking of you stamp is from the Sea2flower stamp set  .  AND now available in the shop.. the die and it's shadow.... Happy.  :)

and for this last card, I used the word and it's shadow:  Beautiful.   I used the Sea2flower stamp set, too.  It's one of my faves.  :)

Oh, baby!

Hello there!  New Sizzix triplits have been released at The Stamps of Life.  One of them is an adorable die set called Oh, Baby.

I have two baby boy cards to share with you today using them: 

This first card is a flip it using the Sizzix Large Circle flip it, along with sizzix tags from the Sizzix framelits tags & words set,  and morechalksayings2stamp stamp/die.   Papers and brads by TSOL.

This other card is a Sizzix basic step up card.  Congratulations stamp from the morechalksayings2stamp set.

The little hanger clips are SU!

Happy Father's and Mother's Day.....

Here are the cards I made for my Dad and my Mom for Father's day and Mother's day using the new stamp set momanddad2love from The Stamps of Life:

I paired it up with the all4stars stamp set for the my father's day card.  Inside I stamped the Happy Father's Day stamp.  

 For this card I added some colorful dot stickers to the flowers, and that's it.  Cute. Easy. Ready to mail.  :)  Now if I only had the gift...   ;) 

and for the Grads...

The Stamps of Life also released, yesterday, a great new stamp set for Graduates!  Graduation2celebrate.

 Here are two cards I created using that set: for this card I made my own little tassel out of embroidery floss. 

 I made it a window card, so here's the inside...

 

A flip it card:  square #2

 and the flip side ;)

I have two cards to share with you today using the momanddad2love stamp set:

Mother's day and Father's day are coming up soon......... here's a cute Mother's day card I created using one of the stand up card dies along with the sizzix scalloped edge circle die, TSOL birdcage2stamp stamps and dies, and sizzix/tsol mini flower dies.  The word bubble saying and the "happy mother's day" stamp are included on that momanddad2love stamp set.  The word bubble die I used is from sizzix tree & bird stamp/die set.  Papers, bows, and brads are all from TSOL.  :)

 and for Dad...  The stamps seen below are all on the momanddad2love stamp set.  I used them with the notebook edge die to create "a note".  Quick and easy.  :)  Cardstock and pattern paper TSOL.
