Baby Elephant Hello

Hi there!  Hope you had a great weekend!  Mine certainly was!  I attended a weekend crop at the Drury Inn in Arnold, MO and had such a fun time with the other croppers!  The accommodations were fantastic and the staff was AMAZING - super nice and very friendly!  Now it's just a matter of catching up on sleep... and getting back into a daily routine.
One of the cards I made at the crop is this funky elephant.  Isn't he just adorable?  He was made from the Cups & Kettle Framelits, with a few snips of the scissors here and there.  The idea came from Kelly Kent HERE posted Jan 24, 2016.  (Some people are just so clever!)  When I saw Kelly's card, I had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it to send to my daughter and son-in-law congratulating them on the birth of my new grandbaby!  It's the perfect card since his nursery just happens to have an elephant theme in blue and gray!  The free Sale-A-Bration set, Hello, was used for the "hello" sentiment and "baby" came from the Tin of Cards set.

Elements of Style

Hi there!  Today's card is one that was sent to my friend in the hospital to let her know she's in my thoughts.  The Elements of Style flower image was stamped on watercolor paper with black StazOn ink.  Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, and Old Olive ink was applied to the image with a blender pen.  The embellishment was made from the Decorative Label punch, oval punches, plus a sentiment from the Layered Labels set.  A 1/8" hole punch was used on the scallop oval piece along with a scrap of crochet trim tucked behind the Decorative Label to dress it up a bit.

Mini Milk Carton Hexagon Box - Halloween Style

Hi!  Hope you're having a good week.  Last night I attended a fellow Demo's monthly Make n Take workshop.  We made three cute cards.  I'll post them another day because today I want to show you this hexagon Halloween box.  It is made by adhering two Mini Milk Cartons together (from the exclusive Stampin' Up! die).  I've seen a number of these boxes posted on other blogs and decorated in various themes.  They are just too cute!

I used the Wicked Cool stamp set for my tags - sponged them pretty heavily.  Then I added rhinestones or pearls.  The black lace trim is something I had in my non-SU stash.  (Gasp!  Hope the SU! police don't come looking for me. lol)  The lace is threaded through holes made with a standard hole punch.  This is such a fun way to present Halloween treats.

Today is the Wednesday Girls stamp group.  Maybe I'll have more cute stuff to share with you.  Stay tuned!  Have a wonderful day and thanks for coming by!
