Happy Valentine’s Day

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Today I want to share super easy Valentine’s card that I made for my husband, The Love Of My Life!   Since we have two cats I thought this would be the perfect card for this Valentine’s Day.

The stamp is called tossing hearts, and what a great day to toss some hearts around ~ Whether you are spending the day with your spouse, significant other or by yourself curled up in a cozy blanket watching a great movie eating pizza or Chinese food, just know that someone out there Loves Ya!  🙂

Wishing Everyone A Happy Valentine’s Day!

Handmade Card For A Book and Cat Lover

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

My Godson is having a birthday this week and he is such an awesome writer.  He has written such fantastic short stories and articles that his teachers want to have them published, that’s how good he is.  So when I thinking of what kind of handmade card I was going to make for him, this rubber stamp was the perfect choice.  I know when he gets older he will have some books published and this is what my bookcase would look like with our Norwegian Forrest Cat 🙂

This stamp is from Stamps Happen, Inc./artist Charles Wysocki.   I first stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock. I used white because I knew I was going to color every inch of this image using Copic markers.  Then for the layered look, attached the image to blue cardstock then to a white card base.  This card was really fun to color.  Get yourself a large detailed rubberstamp and you can have some fun coloring too!  If you don’t have Copic markers you can use water based markers, pencils or even crayons if you like.  Just be creative and enjoy 🙂

Handstamped Birthday Card for a Wonderful Sister

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Today I want to share with you a birthday card that I handmade for my wonderful sister.  I am so happy that I got to spend some time with her when I visited New Jersey last month.  Looking at this card I am laughing because when I was in New Jersey they had a snow storm and I was wishing that I was barefoot like this card shows 🙂

I wanted this card to be colorful and I thought of a stamp that I had from Suzy Toronto. This rubberstamp is named Friends and I don’t know about you, but my sister is my best friend.

I actually met Suzy years ago when I lived in New Mexico at a big arts & crafts fair during the yearly Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.  Suzy Toronto has a line of artwork called Wonderful Wacky Women that I fell in love with.

Anyway, I stamped the image with Memento Black Ink then colored with Copic sketch markers.  Cardstock is from Stampin’ Up and I think the name of the base color is Calypso Coral, the white panel is Whisper White.  The ribbon used is from Dashes, Dots & Checks.

For the inside of the card I reversed the ribbon so when the card is standing you would be able to see the ribbon.

A Fun Cricut Project Making Valentines Decorations

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Love is in the air.  All of the grocery and department stores are ready for Valentines Day so I guess I better get to work (if you call this work) 🙂

In our home we have a pass thru from our kitchen into the living area. It’s a half wall and we have 2 bar stools in front, but that wall always looks so blahhhh, so  I have decided to make a banner for each season or special holiday to put into the blank space.

I want to share with you a fun Cricut project.  Cricut makes Valentines decorating so easy with all of the Cricut Cartridges you can choose from.  I used the Sweethearts cartridge to make this banner, along with the Cricut Expression machine.

I decided to use this scalloped  heart because it had round holes incorporated into the design which made it really easy to put ribbon thru to make a Valentines banner.

I was thinking of all the things that I could put into the middle of the heart like our names, cupid, arrow… and when I found ” you & me ” I knew it was perfect.  Doesn’t it look good?  I have a few more ideas on decorating for Valentines day that I will be sharing with you soon.

NJ Towns Canvas Wall Art

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Over the years I have gotten to know a lot of you through your comments, private messages and even in person.  I have shared with you that I am originally from New Jersey, moved to New Mexico and now live in Florida.  With moving away from family and friends in New Jersey we always reminisce of places that we’ve been.

So what we decided to create is a Unique Canvas Wall Art of some of the New Jersey towns that are special in one way or another, or of where you my fellow crafters have shared where you are from.  We couldn’t add all of the towns because you would either need a really huge wall and we would need a really huge piece of canvas 🙂

But what we did is arrange it so you can personalize your NJ Towns on Canvas Wall Art with your favorite town if it is not listed.

Another great thing is that this canvas print can adapt to any décor, from traditional to a modern wall art piece.  Where ever you choose to hang your NJ Towns Canvas Wall Art, get ready to go down memory lane and enjoy all the great stories that you had when in New Jersey.
