Stampin Up! ~ Friend to Friend

Today's card is from a challenge! One of my really good friends (a BFF really) lives in California. We text almost daily and Skype 2-3 times a week usually :o) Well... one evening we were talking about embossing folders and saw that we both have some of the same ones. More specifically, Cloudy Day from Stampin Up!. I hadn't used mine yet so I suggested that her and I make a card using this folder and sending it to each other, so much fun! In fact, we are finishing up another "challenge" and getting ready for the next :o) Here is my card I made for her. I used a cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge in her favorite colors Coastal Cabana and Crisp Cantaloupe. I used an EK Success border punch for my scallops, the Cloudy Day impressions folder and my sentiment came from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set which I punched out with the Word Window punch and layered on the Modern Label punch. The  flowers were stamped from the Itty Bitty's stamp set (retired) and punched with a tiny flower from the Punch Pack (retiring). I really love the way this turned out and I can say she loves it! Hello Kitty is her favorite :o)

Thanks for stopping by and see ya next time :o)

Hugs!

Kitty Witch

I have another Halloween card for you today!

I figured if I am going to cut all of these out I may as well use them, right? I don't generally mail out Halloween cards but, all of the Hello Kitty cards I have made I have pretty much given to my sister to use or keep. She is my Hello Kitty fan so every time I make one I think about her :o) Here is a cute little kitty witch...

Disney Week Project #6

Welcome to project #6

I wanted to make something with this big Hello Kitty I had cut out from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge a while back. It's too big to fit on a standard card so I thought another wall hanging would be perfect! I left the bottom blank so I can personalize it with a name, which I will cut from the Hello Kitty Font cartridge. I have not fully decided who I am giving this to yet so when I do personalize it, I will update the photo so you can see :o) This is the same size as my Tinkerbell one, 8x8. The polka dot background paper came from a pack of Valentine papers I got at Target in the dollar spot. The lace is the same I used on the Tinkerbell. I punched the flowers and sewed buttons on with some thick embroidery thread. The button on Kitty's bow is from my jar and I tied red embroidery floss through it to make a bow.

Hugs!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!

Today is also the beginning of Disney Week :o) I wanted to start off with not just a character but, to incorporate Easter as well. This is what I came up with...

I totally love the way this turned out! It took a couple of different cuts from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge, the Doodlecharms cartridge and my Gypsy to accomplish this one :o) I love playing around! The paper is scraps from my stash and the cardstock is Recollections. The ric-rac ribbon is from my stash and of course I used my gel pen for her eyes.

Make sure you check out all of the great projects coming up this week from all of the participating bloggers :o) Enjoy!

Hugs!

Using Scraps Batch #4

Hello Kitty

So I decided to use up some more scraps and discovered I have an awful lot of pink :0) Not so much now! I grabbed my Hello Kitty Greetings and Font cartridges and went to town. Well...three days later...

Now to find something to use them all for :0)

Some cards...

Here are a few cards I have been working on the last couple of days. Since it is nearing the end of the school year I have been, and will be, really busy with the boys activities :0) Tomorrow is our annual walk-a-thon, so fun for all of the kids. Although I do think they like the end where they get popsicles best :0)
Anyway, on to my cards. This first one is a birthday card I made for my sister who adores Hello Kitty. Main reason for the cartridge :0) This is one of the cutouts I do a while back using my scrap pieces. I think it turned out adorable. I also added one of my crochet flowers for that extra dimension :0)

This next set is 4x4 in size. I learned how to make these flowers from Brigitte ( shoeprincess1 ) on YT. These are a little smaller since I didn't have the same size punch but they are really easy and turn out cute. Again, these were made using up some scrap pieces :0)

Hope you all are having a fantastic day! Hugs!!!!

Using scraps :0)

So...I have decided that it is time to start using up my scraps. I pulled out the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge last night and this is what I did so far. This also will get me to use some of the cartridges I haven't yet. I think I will post some pictures as I go :0) Here is the first batch...

The one with the heart is driving me a little crazy, the heart is not centered but I don't want to lift it up since it might tear :0) Oh well, right...they can't all be perfect, can they?

Birthday card #1 of 3

Here is a b-day card I made for my friends daughter this month. She is going to be 4 on the 25th :0) This is the first card I have made using the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. I think it turned out great. I flocked the nose and the inside of the bears ears and used bling for Kitty's nose and on her bow. I have to make three more cards to go out this month so they will be coming soon :0) Hope everyone is having a great day!
