Wholly friends builder punch

Check out the new cutie lambie pie "wholly builder punch"

that Stampin up! has released. 

I used this paper to give it a realistic look even though the lamb

is more of a comical character. 

I drew on his little eyes with a white glo pen and added some pop

up adhesives to elevate his body. 

Here's what the wholly builder punch looks

Made with Love

Good morning!

Back again with the Made with Love designer paper. 

This card design I shared with you months ago.

Makes it looks like you spent hours making it, but so easy.

I used the cutie snail again, because, why not? 

The other stamps x and o are also from an old paper pumpkin.

Do you keep all the little stamp sets that come with the kits?

I keep them all together in a box by holiday so that I can easily pull what I need.

Made with Love

Sharing the fun new designer series paper called "Made with Love"

The cute little snail is from a past paper pumpkin.  I love to use

what I have and encourage you to do the same.

We amass so much don't we?

Take a look in your stash and see what you have to make

some cards.  

Looking through my stuff, I found these cute little googlie eyes

and added the glitter for the snail slime! 

With Stampin up! designer paper it's double sided so you get alot

of choices in regards to what you can use for your design. 

As I always say,  super cute and easy card.......

Amazon recycled packages for Valentines

Happy tuesday!

Do you have a bunch of these Amazon envelopes laying around?

Don't throw them away!

I love to use what I have and upcycle things, and here is a fun and easy way to recycle these packages.

Start by peeling all of the labels and stickers off of the envelopes,

as well as using adhesive to glue down any areas that might be ripped.

Don't worry to much about perfection on these envelopes as you are going to

be painting over everything. 

Next fold over your package to create an envelope, once folded over

using a ruler find the center of the paper and mark it and continue

with a pencil to draw a line for you to cut to make your fold

over envelope top.

Grab yourself some paint, I used an off white color, a paint/sponge brush and

a paper plate to put the paint on.  

Using a paint brush or sponge brush start to paint over the entire

envelope.  I only did one coat making sure to cover the black areas well. 

Just one coat will give the envelope this distress look.

Once you paint them set them aside and begin to prepare

the vintage images your going to use. 

I just goggled vintage images and chose the ones below,

you can choose and print any you images you like from your home printer. 

I found these two cute images and am using some retired stampin up scissors that have decorative edges, cut them and layer them on top of colored cardstock. 

Now it's time to glue down the images, but first choose

your ribbon and wrap around the envelope to the front so you can tie it in a bow.

Adhere the top portion of the ribbon to the opening of the envelope, then

adding the vintage image by gluing it down with either a hot glue gun

or glue.  I prefer the hot glue as I know it will hold well. 

Tie your bows and embellish your envelope with anything else

you might like to add.  You can see in the one below I have added a

wax seal I made, and some dried flowers.  All hot glued down. 

I can't decide which one I like better, the vintage ones or the more

modern boho one.

This one I added some chunky sugar glitter to the heart to add some

dimension to it.  They are so cute!  and to think they are made from recycled

Amazon packages.   Give these a try! 

Delivering Cheer

Bringing back and oldie but a goodie,

Happy New Year!! 2026

Happy New Year's!  Here's to 2026!

Here's a few things I did to decorate for New Year's.

Sadly this year, we didn't go out, along with many I was 

nursing the flu that has been going around.       

"May your New Year sparkle and shine"

My table for dinner.....

Something I love to do for the holidays is set my tv to holiday

screensaver.  Have you tried this?

It's quite easy,  just go to youtube on your tv and use the voice

speaker and ask for "new year screensaver", you can

do this for any holiday.  This one I picked is set for 6 hour

running. Some are less.....It's so fun and festive!

Give it a try! 

And....... Happy 2026!!!!
