Hi There Hop Stuff - CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!


Hi there!  Lisa here and I'm sharing another shaker similar to one I made for the Crafting of Hue Sponsorship Weekend so I could show you how I made this shaker using the paw die from the Huggable Critters die set!


I started by cutting the Bubble Box layer using the 2nd largest die in the set.  I taped it in place and then took the paw die from the Huggable Critters set and taped it in the bottom left corner so I could run them through together and avoid an extra run through the Gemini.  Then I took that piece and taped the paw die in place again and ran it through.  Then one more time so the paws were hopping across the bubblebox.  Once all three paws were cut out, I ran the entire thing through with a floral embossing folder.


Next I adhered acetate over the back of the die cut paws and added foam tape to create a well around the area I wanted to place my sequins and then additional tape to provide support for the Bubble Box layer.  I filled the well with sequins... using my fine tweezers to flip them over so when the shaker was right side up, most of the sequins would be too!


And finally I placed the design paper that I wanted to show through the shaker windows over the back.  I added adhesive to that and flipped the whole shaker element over onto my card front.


To finish it off, I used this cutie pie bunny from the Little Huggables set that I colored with my Copics.


And I added this cute sentiment also from the Little Huggables set... love all of the punny sentiments on this set!


A few sequins and done!

Thanks so much for stopping today!  Hope you enjoyed your visit and that you'll come back for more inspiration soon!  And should you need anything from the shop, I have this for you:

You're Pawesome-CASual Fridays and Crafting of Hue!


It's a fun day!  CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is sponsoring over at the Crafting of Hue Facebook Group again!  And today the theme is Critters!  We all have created something for you today using some of the adorable critter products in the shop!


I colored up two of the critters from the Little Huggables stamp set!  Dogs and Cats can get a long!  These two are best of friends!


And I created a shaker by using one of the paw dies from the Huggable Critters set!  First I cut the 2nd largest Bubble Box die in white cardstock.  At the same time I positioned the paw in the bottom left corner of the bubble box and taped it in place and put them both through the Gemini together.  Then I placed the next paw where I wanted it on the die cut and ran it through again and then one more time!  After embossing the bubble box layer with a plaid embossing folder, I placed some acetate on the backside of this die cut; added some foam tape around the line of paws and while it was still upside down, I filled that with lots of sequins.  I took the time to flip them over so most would be facing the right way.  Next I took the backing off of the foam tape and placed a black piece of cardstock over the opening.  Then I added more adhesive and flipped the entire shaker element over onto my background.


Finally I just added the critters, sentiment and a few sequins and done!

AND to make it even better, I have this for you:


Cool right??  Now head over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog where you'll find links to everyone's creations and be sure to join the Crafting of Hue Facebook Group here where you will always find some fantastic inspiration and lots of fun!

I Ruff You - CASual Fridays Stamps


Lisa here!  I knew I wanted to create a Valentine for today and my first thought was flowers and then I remembered the adorable Huggable Critters Fri-Dies!


I was in the mood for this pup!  And I love him in Black and White so I made him spotted!  I cut one body piece in white and one in black and handcut some spots out of the black one to add spots to the edges of his body.


And I thought it would be so cute for my Valentine to be carrying a Valentine!  I cut the Heart Board Fri-Die out of red glitter paper and plain white cardstock and then alternated the little heart frames back together.  And of course he'd have a puppy Valentine with a cute little Punny sentiment from the Little Huggables stamp set.


So there you have it... a Valentine with a Valentine... I wonder if that little pup Valentine is carrying a littler pup Valentine??

Should you decide you need this pup... or anything else... I have this for you:


And did you know this is going on right now??



Thanks so much for stopping!  Hope you enjoyed your visit and come back soon and often for more inspiration!

The Cutting Cafe Inspiration-"Ugly" Sweaters!


Welcome to some Cutting Cafe Inspiration!  This time around we're playing with the Ugly Sweater file.. it's not just for Christmas!  I've created four cards today using this awesome shaped card file along with some fun old papers, dies and stamps from my stash.


It was so fun to put these together and once I started getting ideas I just couldn't stop!


I'd buy that sweater!  You know... here in Arizona... Summer IS sweater weather... I don't leave the house without a sweater (for the air conditioning) and a bottle of water (because...well... the desert!)


For this one, I used some old stickers that coordinated with the paper and the sentiment is from the From Owl of Us Stamp Set from The Cutting Cafe Shop, which in itself is owldorable!.


I like owls... ya know?  I used dies to put together this one, but there is a cool Owl Shaped Card here in the shop that would work too!

Thanks for stopping and I hope you enjoyed it!  Be sure to head on over to the Cutting Cafe Blog and check out what everyone else has done with this cool file!  And while you're there, comment for your chance to win three files of your choice!

Come back here soon!

CAS-ual Fridays Release Day 1 - Little Huggables Stamps and Little Critters Fri-Dies


Welcome to Day 1 of the CAS-ual Fridays Release Day 1!  Today we're sharing projects using the new Little Huggables Stamps and Little Critters Fri-Dies!  Here's how I was inspired:


I colored up these cuties while I was on vacation and knew I was going to use them all together.  I decided they would be stuffed animals sitting on a bed!  I used the largest Bubble Box die to cut my headboard... I cut it twice to make two layers and popped up both layers with some thin foam tape.


Next I used one of the smaller Bubble Box Fri-Dies to create my pillows...I picked some paper I thought would make pretty linens, cut three of the bubble boxes and layered them over the headboard.. I added them a little bit wonky because ... well... idk about you but my pillows are always wonky!  Then I added all of the critters with varying thickness of foam tape and a few flowers just 'cause!


I stamped one of the awesome punny sentiments and those cute little paws from the Little Huggables Stamp Set onto a banner from the Bushy Tailed Stamps and coordinating Fri-Dies.  I hung my sentiment over the bed using a couple of the whiskers from the Huggable Critters Fri-Dies and some Nuvo Drops.


Just love these critters!!  And love how the adorable punny sentiments in the set work so well with the Huggable Critters Fri-Dies from the last release!

I'm playing along over at the Shopping Our Stash challenge!  The Theme is You're So Punny and while the stamps are new, I've used some papers and flowers that have been in my craft room for quite some time!

I thought I'd show you:



Eep!!  So adorable!!  Love these Huggable Critters Fri-Dies and they're even better with the sentiments from the Little Huggables stamp set!


And with this guy, I'm playing along over at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!  It's Anything Goes but must feature a critter... I think I've got one of those I think!...lol!

Somebunny Told Me - Huggable Critters With CAS-ual Fridays!


I'm up on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog today and sharing this card I made using the Huggable Critters Fri-dies and a punny sentiment from the Somebunny Stamp Set!  I wanted this to have a kind of sewn stuffed animal feel so I used some pretty coordinating patterns and along with the stitching on the Fri-dies, I love the way it turned out!


There are SO many options with this die set!  You can create all different kinds of expressions and faces... with four different ear shapes and a few eye, mouth and nose combos, two different paws and three different tails.  I trimmed down the bunny ear and attached the puppy ear to create the look of one of his ears being turned down.  And I love to use foam tape to create depth on these... I think it makes such a difference.  I also trimmed down just the inside two of the bunny ears to create a lighter inside ear color.  I added a flower by cutting two of the smallest Four Petals shapes and layering them and used Nuvo drops for the center.


And this sentiment from the Somebunny stamp set was perfect!  A sweet birthday card for a sweet little girl!  And I kinda want a stuffed bunny like this now!


Sweet, right??  I love how these critters can hold a gift card... a sign... some flowers... anything!

So thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed it and I can't wait to see what you create with these critters!  If you don't have them yet and you feel the need to get them, I have this for you:


Stay tuned and come back often for more CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration AND for something special coming later this month!

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas-March 2019


Welcome to the March edition of Crafty Elves!  My bloggy friend Debra Davison (of Meticulosity) have vowed to create a Christmas Card a week for 2019 so that when Christmas comes, all of our cards are done!  We're sharing our makes on the 25th of each month!

I'll tell you... it's tax season for me and if I can push through this next two months I've got it made!  And I made it this month with the help of some awesome design papers and quick and easy cards!  Here's what I have for you:


So I decided to use the comfy cozy Echo Park/Carta Bella Cabin Fever papers... between the papers and the journal cards, four of these cards went together in about 45 minutes!   And then I wanted to do one really special card for you this month and it just so happens Michele over at CAS-ual Fridays has just released a die set called Huggable Critters and when I saw the journal card with the "Bear Hugs" sentiment on it... I knew right away what I was going to do!


I used some papers from the Cabin Fever paper pack to cut out all of my pieces... including that cool brown sweater pattern I used for my bear and that pretty plaid for my Coffee Cup


 I originally had the handle tucked under the bear's paw, but I wanted it to be like he had his paw inside the handle.  It wouldn't fit, so I cut the handle and sliced his paw a big to have it go into his paw... you know, as if some of his fur was going around the outside of it... I think all in all it looks pretty good and I love that the handle can show!


I mean a bear sized mug would definitely be more like a Bear Hug in a Mug, don't you think??

Now for a quick look at the rest of my cards for this month:


To add a little special to these, I used some dies and embossing folders and I'm really pleased with how they turned out.  In addition to the journal cards, I used some of the stickers from the pack and some popup tape and of course a few sequins on each one!


I LOVE this paper pack!  The papers are heavy and textured and so beautiful!


That woodgrain with the snowflakes... as you can see... is one of my faves!


Not to mention the large quantity of plaid...lol!  And then one more look at my Huggable Critter:



Gosh I LOVE this new die set!  If you haven't checked out the new release inspiration at CAS-ual Fridays, I highly suggest  you head over there after you check out what Debra has created for you today!
