After Christmas Crafting Series #2

Happy New Year everyone!
I have not even written in my planner all week, let alone decided on goals for the year but I will be working on that today because the first day of the year is a good time to do a little reset. The rest of the day will be spent cleaning out my daughter's room and hopefully crafting. Today, I am sharing the second part of my After Christmas Series.

Hello Pocket Card

HI,
Today, I am sharing a super simple pocket card using up the very last of a paper pad. There is a serious sense of accomplishment when that happens. The stamp is from Neat and Tangled.

Just colored in with copics and I stapled a piece of pink ribbon to make it a little easier to get the card out of the pocket.

Thanks for visiting today.

Hi everyone,
 Today, I have a simple card using Neat and Tangled stamps. I was trying to use up a paper pad.

I colored him up with copic markers. Sometimes it's really hard to use up the last of those paper pads! Thanks for visiting today,

You Are Loved

Hi everyone,

Today, I am sharing a cute Valentine card using the Neat and Tangled bear stamp set that was a winter stamp set but I absolutely think it can be used year round. I have him holding a heart that I used a die set I have . The paper is from last year's Doodlebug. The bear is colored with Copics.

I added some twine and sequins. The stamp is from CardzTV "Love Ya."

12 Days of Christmas - Day 2

Hi everyone,
I am back with my 12 Days of Christmas. A crafty countdown until the big day. Yesterday, I talked about being busy with a new puppy. It really takes some adjusting. For one thing, I thought that we had done a good job of moving ornaments and other items from the bottom of the Christmas tree, not so! I was baking cookies the other day, when I heard something bounce from the tree. He had knocked off ornaments and pulled garland off the tree. Naughty puppy! So now the bottom half of our tree is completely bare, it looks a little ridiculous!

Today's project is a couple more cards using Neat and Tangled's Beary Christmas. I am so going to use this stamp set, year around, it is just so cute and really fun to color.

The top card uses paper from Lawn Fawn Christmas Plaid and the bottom card uses Hot Cocoa from American Crafts. I did try to make all the cards look a bit different. I am so behind on making cards and Friday is the last day here at work so I have got to get moving! If you want to see these cards up close, be sure to visit my Youtube channel.

12 Days of Christmas - Day 1

Hi everyone,
I have been so busy this year that I haven't been posting to my blog quite as much, mainly because my kids got a puppy. He is now 3 months old, we have had him for about 6 weeks, a little cream maltipoo. We've got him housetrained for the most part but he whines at night to let out at least twice a night sometimes three times. So I have been going to bed when the kids do which means less time to craft and post. Otherwise...I get NO SLEEP!

In years past, I have done a countdown 25 days of Christmas. This year it's going to be the 12 days of Christmas because honestly I just realized that Christmas is almost here and of course I am totally behind.

Today, I am sharing a couple of cards that I made using Neat and Tangled's Beary Christmas. I think this is my favorite stamp set of the holidays. It is so adorable and I really hope the company comes out with Companion stamps for it so that I can use it year round. The die cuts out part of the hands so the bear can hold various things.

The bottom cards uses a sentiment from CardzTV. Coloring them a little differently and using different papers gives the cards a different look. If you would like to see the cards up close be sure to visit my Youtube channel. I don't show how to make these cards but do show the cards up close and discuss exactly what I used to make them. The top card uses the Winter paper pad from Lawn Fawn and the bottom card uses American Crafts Hot Cocoa paper.

Thanks for visiting today. Hope to see you tomorrow!
