Random Act of Kindness cigar box.

Hello my crafty Friends!

I am so thrilled to have had a little extra “me” time today. I actually started the cigar box project last night. I had the box in my collection and couldn’t resist but to make it as a Random Act of Kindness gift.

It was plain luck that I got this shot. It was actually taken from the opposite direction, hence the watermark being upside down. The light was just perfect. Instead of using two butterflies to make a 3D one I chose to do just one layer and bend up the wings. When I snapped the picture it cast a shadow. A perfect shadow.

I wish you guys could see it in person, it is really beautiful I used my Lindsay’s stamp gang glimmering mist for this project. The flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts. The butterfly was made from Shrinky dink plastic. I filled it with almond chocolate candy and lace. I hope the person who will receive this likes it!
Have a great day, I need to get my hustle on and clean my house. We are in the process of saving ourselves some money by re-financing our home. The appraisal is next Tuesday. I want this house to just glow.

Stamp Happy be a blessing!

Bunny Hop

Hi friends!

I spent all of my day yesterday on a quest for a bunny. I have joined the Stick pin swap on Your Paper pantry.

I found a bunny on sale at Joanne’s but didn’t like her attire. So I stripped her naked and layered on some lace. It is my first attempt to dress a bunny, and she isn’t all bad.

I made the stick pins in the video. Two use large 5″ hat pins. They are adorned with beads shaped like spring things. So much fun to work with.

I hope to get this package postal this week. I am not promicing as my schedule for the next few days is very tight.

I hope you will join some fun swaps. PLEASE READ THIS PART:

I am nearly at 400 subscribers on youtube. When I reach that mark I will do a youtube give away. Help me reach my goal. I am thrilled 400 people subscribe to my channel and watch the videos.

Have a great day, Stamp Happy be a blessing.

Gifts from friends and a card for my friend Video Slide show.

Accucut will soon be in the house! I have a few new dies coming in this week. I wanted to make a payment to the friend I am buying them from and the darn Paypal wants over $10.00 for their “cut”. I think not. I’ll get out the check book, dust it off and send her the money that way.

I love this stamp from My Favorite things, click here. She is a pure innocence image. I adore the saying. I kept the card simple. It measures 5 1/2″ square. I used my dies from Spellbinders and dienamics from MFT.

Several months ago, Phyllis and Candace came to visit me. These ladies are incredible. We did some crafting and they brought me the beautiful goodies in the video slide show. Thank you ladies! I hope we can do this again soon! Please excuse me for being so tardy.

Have a great Sunday! Stamp happy, be a blessing.

Hostess gift

Hi Friends!!

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying some crafty time!

I am enjoying some time this month participating in several swaps. I am in love with the swap Jonnie has on Your Paper Pantry. The name of the swap is “Tag bags”

I used my Accucut Balloon die for this project. I cut the balloons out of patterned paper and attached them to a light chipboard base. I made five tags. Each took me about 45 minutes to complete. You spend a bunch of time waiting for glue to dry for this project.

The banner is also cut from a die, Stampin Up Sizzix banner die. I cut it also from light chipboard and patterned papers. It is finished with Wild Orchid Craft flowers, bling, Lindsey’s glimmer mist and items from my personal collection.
Stamp Happy be a blessing.

Up – Up – and away — March Tag swap for YPP

Last night I started making these adorable hot air balloon tags for a swap on Your Paper Pantry. I used some light chipboard for the base and two separate patterned papers for the balloon and basket. I embellished them with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and twine. The butterfly was stamped onto clear shrinky dink plastic and colored with Copic Y18 marker.

I accomplished most of the die cutting last night and had partially assembled them. This morning I set my task to completing them. All in all it took approximately six hours to make five tags. I wanted the attention to detail to be evident. I also used Linday’s stamp gang glimmery mist.

I had a really great time with these, I will be adding a few things to the bags for the fellow swappers and then will try and get them postal this week.

Stamp Happy, be a blessing.
