Sea Street Pick Me Up

Today would be one of those days where I could use about eight arms or so to get all the things done I need to.  Hence the cute little guy on the front of this card.  I haven’t always had a smile on today though.

A very simple card though it doesn’t look too boring.  Probably because of the awesome striped designer paper.  I have hesitated using this pattern because it is so strong.  It looks perfect here though.

A simple stamp, layered once, put up on dimensionals and centered, a little bow made from the beautiful dotted lace trim, which I stuck on with a few glue dots, and this precious little card was done!  It may be late in the day, but I still got it done.  One more thing off my list and it gave me a big smile right back.  Totally worth it!

Guy Greetings Woo-Hoo!

This was an awesome set to make!  I couldn’t stop giggling at this little muscle man saying woo-hoo!  Really, so funny.  I was going for masculine here and think I nailed it.

The gift bag here is a tall one but still came from one sheet of card stock.  It measures 1 x 1 x 7.5.  Yup, pretty darn tall.  I think one of those huge candy bars would be awesome inside.  I like how I always want to put candy in my bags.  I did put some fairly stout items inside and my linen thread handle still held strong.  I couldn’t have a ribbon handle, no too girlie.

The mix of the image with the typeset paper along with the muscle man gave it a very vintage look.  I sponged everything to continue the look.  Even though you can’t see a lot of it, I think the alphabet embossing folder gave the texture I needed.

So how about you dig into your stamps and make something that brings a grin to you and the person you give it to.  That is why we do this after all, right?

Have a creative day!

I have to admit, when the spring catalog comes out I get a little distracted.  I sometimes forget the annual catalog and all of the stamps and products I love from it  This stamp set is one great example.

Isn’t it just so cute?  I made the cards a little different this time.  I put a masculine and feminine emphasis on each one.  It made me happy.

What really made me happy was this awesome bag!  I don’t know if someone else has made one with these dimensions before, but it is all new to my brain.  It was my families favorite.  It can hold a huge candy bar, and even several greeting cards.  How about a combo of both?

The typewriter is great, but I love the tap tap tap stamp.  It really makes me giggle. So, it had to get used as much as possible.  I would have done more if I could.

What products did I use for these projects?  Tons!  I worked in basic black with the Typeset Specialty designer series paper.  I accented in hello honey and blackberry bliss stitched satin ribbon.  I even played a touch with that super fun handheld stapler.  Much easier to use than my desktop one, much.  Of course I had to add petite petals in black with basic pearls.  I grabbed a sentiment for the bag from the Sale-a-bration stamp set A Happy Thing.  Really, tons of fun stuff here.

Now, how about you go out there and have a creative day!
