Hand Warmer/Ice Pack

Look! Another fabric project with the super cute "Spice Cake" fabric from Stampin up.

These are filled with barley and can be placed in the freezer to be used as an ice pack or microwaved to be a hand warmer. I still stand by my "No Sewing" policy so I begged for help from my very talented friend Erin Hopkins. She was nice enough to sew these together for me! I put on a few embellishments and tadahh! These will be great to have on hand (hee hee on hand...get it...) to give out as gifts.

Thanks for stopping by today. :) Tomorrow I have a new card from the Gently Falling set to show you.

Cork Board Frame

I ordered this super cute Spice Cake Designer Fabric from Stampin' UP to coordinate with my Spice Cake Designer Paper. Now normally I am not a fabric person at all but I thought I would give it a go. I actually had a lot of fun making this little frame and did not have to sew at all! I used some glue dots, glue gun, and some staples. Maybe some day I will work myself up to sewing! Remove the glass from your frame. This is just an old one that had fallen off the wall long ago and had no glass.



Measure the opening on the back and cut a piece of cork board to fit it the frame. Cut your fabric large enough to wrap the edges around your cork board. Then just staple and glue it into your frame. Then just decorate the frame and you are done! Quick and easy little memo board!






Thanks for stopping by today. I have another fabric project coming soon.

Festive & Fun #2

This is a fun and fast card made with the new set Festive & Fun from the Stampin' Up Holiday Mini. By just repeating the stamp you can create your own background paper. This is a great card to do if you have limited supplies. All you need is black ink and black and white paper.

Nursery Times Get Well Card

I wanted to go another direction with the Nursery Times set. I was getting tired of making baby cards. This one is a little crazy but that is what you get when you stamp on a Friday afternoon :) My new stamps from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini should be here sometime today so I promise no more Nursery Times cards for awhile. It is time to start on those fall and Christmas cards!

Have a great weekend and happy stamping!

Nursery Times and Punch Lamb

It's me again! It is also the Nursery Times stamp set again. When I do my stamp clubs I really like to have at least 6 cards displayed with a set so my club ladies can get some ideas how to use the set. Since this one is new there is not a lot of ideas out there yet so I have had to come up with my own. This makes 4 cards so I guess I will try and come up with 2 more so I can finish my display. I really do like this set and once I take them off my display board I will be set for baby cards for awhile!

Stamps: Nursery Times (p 85 $14.95) Teeny Tiny Wishes (p 157 $36.95)
Paper: Blushing Bride, Basic Black, Whisper White Nursery Nest Designer Paper (186 $10.95)
Punches: Boho Blossoms (p 210 $16.95) 3/4 circle punch (p 212 $10.95) 2 1/2 Circle Punch (p 212 $16.95) Large Oval (p 212 15.95) Scallop Circle (210 $16.95)
