SST Sweet Card

Today I have a "Sweet" card from Sweet Stamping Treats with the stamp Mouse Treat. I printed this stamp to make a Christmas card, and then I never got to it. So when I saw it I just had to use it.





I used a bunch of scraps from my pile to make this one. The black is Coordinations cardstock. The red swirls paper is from Imaginisce, and the pink striped paper is from Making Memories. The strip of black and white rose print paper is from DCWV. The "sweet stamp" is from Inkadinkado.Be sure to check out all the cute stamps at Sweet Stamping Treats.

Happy Crafting.

Inspired Stamps Scripture Card

This week's theme at Inspired stamps is Nature. So the first set I though of was Eye on the Sparrow. I know Ask, Seek, Knock is also good for that theme, but I love the little Sparrows that come with this set.





Isn't it cute? I think it's the eyes. I used double sided paper from Imaginisce and some green twine on this one. Happy Crafting!

Sweet Stamping Treats Dollar Digi Sale

The SST Dollar Digi Sale is back! This month's stamp is Hearts Circle. Super cute for Valentines!




I decided to use this one for a decoration. I made this rosette hanging decoration for my office. I plan to make a bunch more.


This is actually really easy. I used 2 strips of 2x12 paper and my glue gun. I scored the strips every 1/2" and then glued the ends together to make it long enough for this big rosette. Super easy. Get your stamp today and get started on those Valentines! Happy Crafting.

Use that Crop-a-dile (for Valentines Day)

My Cricut Craft Room



Today for Erica's Design team the theme was use your Crop-a-dile. So I decided to make a card using mine, and the Rock Princess Cartridge. Please check out Erica's blog to see more creations with this theme.

I have to admit, I saw this idea somewhere on a blog, although read so many blogs I can't remember which one!


The background paper is from Making Memories Love Notes line. I chalked the edges of the paper with both pink and brown chalk.


 The hear is cut at 3" and I used added rivets to it with my Crop-a-dile. Then used The Twinery's Pink Sorbet Twine to lace it up.

But it didn't show up well on the paper so I added this piece of black cardstock to the back of the card.

I used pop dots to adhere it so that the card would have some depth since I made it so simple.

I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Happy Crafting!
