Stamp Annie Thing Bunny Hugs !

Happy or should I say Hoppy Monday! Hope you all had a terrific weekend. 

Monday's have become my day to share with you projects using Stamp Annie Thing stamps. 

For today's little project, I used the ever so cute Bunny Hugs to You stamp set. It's a tiny set but is big on possibilities. 

I tried something new for this cute bunny. Instead of using my copic markers, I used a q-tip and chalk to add color to my image. It was just enough of soft color I needed for this little honey. 

I did do some paper piecing of the bow and the skirt for the finishing touch. 

Here's the whole set of stamps-- so many great sentiments.

Annie has been working on some new super cute stamps for an upcoming release in a couple weeks. Stay tuned for more about that coming soon!

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon Java Great Day!

Welcome to my Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons DT day post.

Someone recently gave me a few Sees Latte Cafe lollipops and I have been wondering what to do with them. Yes, you might think I would have eaten them by now, but here's the deal, I don't like coffee or the taste of it in any way--gasp!

When I was thinking of a project to do for my design team day, I remembered the ever so cute Java Great day cut file set at PPPR. The lollipop and this cut file set were a match made for my caffeine loving friends.

I started with my lollipop holder which it cut using my die from My Creative Time.
I sized the coffee pot to about 1.75" tall, cut all the pieces and got gluing.
My Little Java friend looked like he had something to say so I went into my scrap closet and pulled out a great stamp set from My Creative Time that has all kinds of java related sentiments.  I stamped the sentiment on a bubble shape from the Bubbles Speak file set. Oh, and this Bubbles Speak file set......FREE right now! Get yours here, right now.  It's only free until Friday!

Once I had everything attached to the base holder,  I added the lollipop and tied it up with a pretty ribbon.

When I cut small pieces like this I usually try to cut multiples so in case one doesn't cut right the first round, I have a back-up. Well, I was lucky and all pieces cut perfectly so I just made another lollipop treat holder. Now I can share a special treat with two friends this week.

Please stop by the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog this week. The other designers have some unbelievably creative projects to share with you.

Have a Java day!

Sketch challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas starts now!

Welcome to this weeks Die Cuttin' Diva's challenge where this week we want to see what you can do with the provided sketch as your starting point. I love seeing how everyone interprets the sketch to make it their own. 

I recently came across this cute little Chick over at Treasure box Designs. She is super cute and fit the sketch perfectly. The chicken wire is a stamp from My Creative time. I added some burlap and a sentiment from K. Andrew stamps and some tiny black brads in the corners. 

This week we have a great sponsor, Bombshell stamps.  Some of the design team members have created fantastic projects for this challenge using the fantastic images from Bombshell stamps and this weeks sketch. 

I look forward to seeing your interpretation of the sketch this week. Be sure to head over to Die Cuttin' Diva's to see what the other DT members have created.

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a fabulous week. Last week was a busy travel week for me. My job took me to the exotic island of Bora Bora!! The island was my inspiration for my Stamp Annie Thing Design Team Day project this week.

"Pete the Parrot" from the Rare Bird stamp set for my card was just perfect!

I used up some 1/2" scraps of card stock by laying them in an alternating diagonal pattern. I then simply stamped my image and added some doodles to complete this super fast card.
