More Tweet Friends

Spent time over the weekend making a variety of cards using MFT's Tweet Friends.  I learned that one of my friends broke her leg and ankle, so she will get the cute "feel better" card.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's On The Mend stamp set. She enjoys music so a little singing bird will bring a smile to her face.  I used Wonky Stitched Rectangle dies for the layers.

Next I colored one of the bird images pink and then colored coordinating toadstools. The cute little bird is adhered to a white cardstock  circle which was cut using a MFT Mini Scallop Circle die.  The sentiment is from MFT's Fluttering Friends stamp set.  Both cards are adorable, but this birthday card would be perfect for a little girl. 

If you go out tonight, be safe.  Enjoy the celebrations and Happy New Year!

Tweet Friends

A couple of times now I have attempted to put away all of the Christmas wrap, ribbon and craft items in my craft room~~not happening!  Instead I am playing.  One of the stamp sets John gave me for Christmas is a cute stamp set from MFT Stamps, Tweet Friends.  I stamped and embossed a number of images and then colored them with alcohol markers.  Now I have these cute images on my counter.  My choice yesterday was to make a card or put things away. As you can see, the card won! The sentiment is from MFT's set, Little Buddies.  You will be seeing more Tweet Friends cards in the future as it is such a cute set!  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Heart Box

You all know that I like little treat boxes and bags.  When Lawn Fawn released their new Heart Treat Box a couple of weeks ago, I had to add it to my collection.  I put it together (very easy) and then used additional dies (included in the set) to cut the candy cane patterned paper for the heart and sides.  The finished box measures 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" with a depth of just about 7/8".  This cute little box fits 4 Hershey Hugs/Kisses.   Have a great day!

So Pretty

We had a wonderful holiday weekend with our family and friends.  Niklas spent his first Christmas in the USA and it was  like we had two grandchildren this year.  He fits in well with our family.

Last month Sydney asked me to send a favorite picture of Nipper.  Needless to say, I have quite a few of my favorite granddaughter and favorite bird.  This is one I sent her.  I opened the Christmas present she made for me and it was her painting of the same photo.  She used acrylic paints on canvas.  It is an awesome present from an awesome granddaughter.  Have a great day!.
