Felt Bookmarks

What goes great with a book club?

How about cute handmade bookmarks?!

I made these for the ladies that are starting a book club with me!

I hand drew a pattern for the lips.

I used a mustache pattern from Scraptastical Kreations' KISS This and That set

(www.scraptasticalkreations.com)

I traced each pattern onto felt.

I then simply cut the felt out.

Using permanent makers, I drew a few accents on each bookmark.

I then cut coordinating ribbon.

Using my sewing machine, I sewed the ribbon into place on the bookmarks.

Can't wait to give these out at book club!

Heart with a Mustache

I woke up this morning with a neat idea for a Valentine's card...

A heart with a mustache on it!

I came to realize that it probably had already been done, but I still wanted to go for it!

I knew the perfect mustache to use - the one from the "KISS This and That"

paper piecing set from Scraptastical Kreations.

I used black polka dot paper for the background. 

I then trimmed a border of red polka dot paper.

The heart I cut using my Cricut with the "Plantin SchoolBook" cartridge.

I drew the eyes with a black marker with silver accents.

I used a silver marker to add the accents to the mustache.

The mustache is actually adhered with 3D dots, so it sticks up from the card some. 

There is black ribbon with three red rhinestones.

Red glitter stickers for the letters "X" and "O".

This card and many more are available in my Etsy shop

Anything Goes January Challenge

This month over at Scraptastical Kreations, they are doing an Anything Goes challenge.

The project is your choice, you just have to include one of their patterns in your project!

I have been working on Valentine's projects today, so I browsed through

the Scraptastical Kreations patterns that I had.

I settled on a flower from there "Garden Splendor" collection.

I chose this flower because the petals looked like hearts!

I started out with an ATC card that I covered in pink heart patterned scrapbook paper.

Then I (hand) cut the flower from "Garden Splendor".

I did one layer in hot pink cardstock and the second layer in

scrapbook paper with the sentiment "I love you".

I adhered pink ribbon with pink hearts running vertically on the ATC card.

I then used 3D dots to adhere the flower with dimension.

I then attached a pink rhinestone heart to the center of the card.

I covered the card a different pink heart patterned scrapbook paper.

I adhered pink glitter table horizontally on the card.

I then glued the ATC card onto another piece of the "I love you"

sentiment paper and then glued it onto the card.

I used pink chipboard stickers to decorate the corners.

Birthday Tags

I wanted to share this cute and colorful birthday tags that I created.

They were really simple and fun to make! I used a paper piecing pattern from http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com to create the cute cupcakes! I thought the polka dot paper for the tops of the cupcakes really stepped them up a notch!

I decorated the top of the cupcakes with different colored bling. The sentiment is stamped.

They are available for purchase at my Etsy shop
