Thank You's Sweet Day Style

So I made these cards as thank you's for things I received at my lovely baby shower. I got the new Sweet Day collection from Echo park and just had to try it out! Because I was making these in bulk, the  layout is super simple.

I actually made 7 of these but I can't find the other one! I may have already sent it out. 

Here is the 7th one that I actually created. I only had enough card stock for the 6, but I had left over scraps so I just layered them and voila! It's not the prettiest one, but at least I didn't have to throw any card stock away and it was enough to make a 7th card. :) 

Recipe:

• Patterned Paper:
• Echo Park: Sweet Day "Fancy Floral"™ (pink stripe)
• Echo Park: Sweet Day "Delightful"™ (hexagons)
• Echo Park: Sweet Day "Cheerful Stripe"™ (printed paper)
• Stamp: My Pink Stamper: Everyday Occasions™ (an oldie but goodie... and discontinued so grab it if you want it!)

Crate Baby Thank Yous

Hello and welcome to my Shop Pumpkin Spice post for the day. 

I made these as I needed more thank yous from the baby shower gifts I received. 

I ordered Crate Paper's Pretty Party from Shop Pumpkin Spice and knew I wanted to use these little strawberries and striped patterned papers on my cards! 

This was my first time ordering the 12x12 Crate Paper collection. What I didn't know was that not only are all the stickers inside (and adorable), but there are TWO of every patterned paper in the bunch! So while I used to think that the collection packs were a bit pricy, now I realize what an AWESOME DEAL they are! I've already ordered Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue! I am so excited to play with them!

• Crate Paper: Pretty Party 12x12 Collection Pack™
• i-rock by Imaginisce™
• Glam Rocks in Pearl™
• White Cardstock™
• Cartridge: Heritage™

Moo Bookmark

So I wanted to make a bookmark for myself as I have been reading a lot recently (laying down during late pregnancy without internet in your bedroom will do that to you!). So I made this bookmark using the Moo-ey Doodles Kit from My Pink Stamper and Shop Pumpkin Spice. 

I hope you like it!

Artful Delight Sketch

I made this for the Artful Delight Sketch Challenge for July! 

It also is a VERY late Father's Day Card for my husband - but since our baby is due any day, I thought I would give it to him on the day our baby is born. :)

I used the transparency from the kit as my background. So I took a picture at an angle so you could see the shine.

Love Moo!

Hello! 

This is one of those cards that looks better in your head then it comes out on paper. 

I really liked the idea of having a red fence that the cow was looking over... but the red might be too... red... My husband was making fun of me! haha. But none the less, here is my card. Had I to do it over again, I would have toned it down. But that's why we craft! To make our own creations and to laugh at ourselves! haha.

Recipe:

• My Pink Stamper: Moo-ey Doodles Kit™
• My Pink Stamper: Yankee Doodles Kit™
• Cricut Cartridges:
• Create-a-Critter™
• Picturesque™
• Patterned Paper: American Crafts: Dear Lizzy Neapolitan™
• Brads: MME: Lost and Found: Union Square "Favorite" Brads™
• "Love" Sentiment: My Pink Stamper: Love-alicious™

There are a bunch of samples of the Moo-ey Doodle Kit that the SPS team made over on the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog! Be sure to check them out HERE! :)
