Bananas for the Monkeys!

Happy Monday.  It was a busy weekend. My hubby and son ran a half marathon and Sunday I flew to Las Vegas. But before I left I did this quick little card for you today for my DT day over at Stamp Annie Thing.

I used the Our Lil Monkey stamp set for my monkey friend and popped him up on a banana shaped card compliments of Miss Ann over at SVG Cutting Files.

I colored my lil' monkey with chalk this time instead of my markers. I wanted to try something new. It is a much softer look. 

I also want to let you know that there are new Stamp Annie Thing stamps about to be released and we have a release blog hop planned. Mark your calendars. 

Have a great week!

Having fun with some new goodies.

Hey everyone! This is jut a quick post today being I am traveling for work this week. But before I leave today,  I just had to play with some new goodies I received in the mail yesterday, the My Creative Time Stitched Spooky Ghost dies.

I put this together in about 30 minutes with the most time spent picking paper. I don't know why I have such a hard time with picking paper for projects.

I used the My Creative Time Slider Treat box die for my base and then embellished it with the ghost dies, tulle and pearl stick pin. Oh, an I can;t forget that cute PKS face on the ghost.

Wishing you all a crafty day!

Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

I hope everyone enjoyed the extra long weekend. It's Tuesday and time for another Die Cuttin' Diva's challenge. This week we have a great sketch posted for your inspiration. 

I used the Wild Card cartridge for my base and then a cute birthday fish from SVG Cutting Files.

The sentiments is from Jaded Blossoms Fish On stamp set.

Something to Crow About!

Happy Monday and Happy Labor day! Today is another Design day for me over at Stamp Annie Thing Stamps.and I am here to show you a cute little card I did using the super cute Our Lil' Pumpkinhead stamp set.

Last week the weather was sweltering hot. This week, have have jumped right into fall with cooler temps. With fall in the air, I dug out my fall papers and did a little pumpkin card for ya. 

I used the Our Lil' Pumpkinhead stamp set for all the stamped images you see on this card, the pumpkin, the crow and sentiment.

I love that burlap paper, yes, burlap paper. I was at Joann's and found a whole 6x6 paper stack of textured burlap paper. I can see I will be using that often this fall on my projects.

I colored the image with my copic markers and then used chalk for a light background.

I punched a 3/4" circle to stamp the crow on and then popped him up with foam tape onto a die shape using the Jaded Blossom Candy Charms and Banners dies.
The faux stitched border was done by using a piercing tool .

I have been seeing a lot of projects on the blog with sequins, so of course I had to give it a try. I like the sparkle without using glitter effects. 

Hope you all are enjoying the  nice long weekend.Have a crafty day!
