Coffee Cozies

How stinkin' cute are these? I was inspired by Catherine Cote's blog http://www.creationsceecee.com/ and knew I had to make some for myself! I went to Starbucks and grabbed a cardboard sleeve (around my caramal macchiato) and then used it as a template to cut out the felt. I used my sewing machine to stitch it together. And then....pulled out the Big Shot and cut out flowers from Basket's and Blooms die (thanks Deanne) and the Flower Daisies #2. I also embellished them with the Sweet Pea felt flowers from the Occassions mini catalogue and a few flowers from Flower Fusion (page 180). The bright green and purple cozies are for my girls (Emily made her own flowers on her green one) and I'm not sure who the lucky recipients of the others are yet! I'm loving them all - it's going to be a tough decision which one I get to keep.

Easy Peasy

This is a super easy card - I saw one like it on line (can't remember who to credit - sorry)

Tree, Thoughts and Prayers

I often find Sympathy cards are the toughest to give. I'm never quite sure of the right words to say and have found myself without any made on hand when I have needed them. So I borrowed this set from a friend and made a whole bunch of different cards. Some for sympathy, illness and I left a few blank. I love this tree (you may recall from an earlier post as I have the Decor Element version on my wall!)

Cupcake Party

I did this workiishop last year and although the DSP has retired, the cupcake set is still available (Crazy for Cupcakes 111618). I have had a couple of customers request copies of what the cards looked like as they gave them all away. This is a great colour combination but could be substituted with Bashful Blue or Brocade Blue (instead of Pink Pirouette) as an alternative.

Easel Card

I love this card! I got the instructions on how to make the Easel card from www.splitcoaststampers.com I always loved the colour Pacific Point for a bird so I dug out the Sunny Day DSP retired paper, Pacific Point cardstock and the Kiwi Kiss double sided satin ribbon.

Happy Birthday to me!

Yeah! - I finally made a card using my new Sweet Pea Stitched Felt flowers. It is very quick and simple, which I love. I used the Stem Sayings stamp set for the stem and adhered the felts to complete!
