Putting Some Wow into a Luau!

Good morning! We've missed a few days of posting, but between school and projects, we've been pretty busy. I feel like that's what we say each time. We've been working on quite a few projects/orders the last few weeks. Most have been superheroes (like, tons of them) but we've also had a handful of special, custom orders this week. Hopefully we'll be able to post some of them this week. Fortunately, we had some extra time yesterday to get a few done. This is one of our favorite pieces:

One of our (truly) valued customers asked us if we'd be able to create an invitation for her daughter's birthday luau. This is the design we came up with. Since it's only a sample, there are some tweaks that we need to make, but it fits the theme perfectly! Some of the layers are popped up (of course!) It's the perfect compliment to any Hawaiian party this summer!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Gnome Way!

Good evening! We hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. We have been pretty the last few days, and unfortunately haven't been able to spend a lot of  time we-crafting. As you can tell, our blog needs some attention, and we're pretty sure no one wants to see all of the superhero bags and banners we've made in the last week (we'll save that for another time). However, we wanted to take some time to make a card for our biggest brother, who is celebrating a birthday today. (Honestly, I'm not sure how old he is today...I'm thinking 34, but after 30, who counts?! ) Anyway, here is the card we made him:

How cute is that little gnome?! We wanted to make it a (somewhat) masculine card for him, and had plenty of scraps to make it in these colors (love when that works out!) This is a 3D shape card with quite a few popped pieces, which can be seen in the picture below.

I didn't take a picture of the inside, but it reads "Gnome way! It's your birthday!" I thought it was just so cute, and then got a little more excited when I remembered that his internet alias has had the word 'nomes' in it for the longest time. It may not be spelled the same way, or even have the same meaning, but close enough! Well, he might not have gotten it in time for his birthday, but now that it's on-line, he knows it exists and that it will be in the mail on Monday! And it's still his birthday when I posted this, so... Happy Birthday, Bro!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great night!

A Little Bundle of Joy

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a great week. It's been a while since we posted, but now that it's Spring Break, we have a little more time on our hands. Today also happens to be one of those days when it's just nicer to stay in and craft. We'll take one rainy day out of a week that's supposed to be sunny and mid-60! Any way, today's card is a quick one we whipped up that should have been sent out a month ago. Our cousin and his wife had a cutie-patootie little boy early last month and this is the card we made for them:

 Like most of our projects, the first ideas for this card wasn't this. The only thing we were sure of was that we wanted a little onesie on it. We weren't sure what to do on the onesie, but realized that simpler was better. Luckily we had matching ribbon for the final added touch! Now that it's finally made, hopefully it won't take just as long to mail it out (even with it filled out, in its envelope, and stamped already!!)
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!!

A Spring-y Hello

Good morning! We hope everyone has had a wonderful week. Fortunately, this week just seemed to fly by. Maybe because the weather has been amazing and the distractions were quite numerous (not complaining too much...It'll give us something to work on this weekend.) Anyway, a little while back, we were pleasently surprised with a package in our mailbox from our aunt. The lady is quite the talent with a sewing machine and she made us some super cute placemats:

They match our kitchen decor perfectly!! And the two little (early!) birds are so springy, too! So, as a thank-you, this is the card we made:

Unfortunately, the colors are not quite right. We wanted it to be bright and cheerful, so we used bright pink and and green, with some floral and sparkle papers. We've included some pink rhinestones, as well. The inside didn't photgraph too well, but it is accented with some of the cute printed paper, also.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Good evening! I feel like I should start with a silly pun or something, but after spending the last three days working on superhero projects, my creative juices aren't flowing tonight. However, I wanted to post a quick  little project for today (even though it's tomorrow everywhere else...)

I came across this super cute poem the other day and wanted to make a little something that with it. I printed the poem out, leaving just enough room for a lucky little leprechaun! I can't say I was totally creative with the treats, but when the poem ends with Leprechaun Kisses, what are you supposed to share with someone?!
Now that we have gotten most of our orders organized and completed, hopefully there will be a little more time for us-crafting, especially because there are so many spring-themed projects  we want to make.
Thanks for stopping by! Now it's time for bed!!

An Irish Wish!

Happy Monday! Or not. It was a tough morning to wake up, even after going to bed pretty early last night. It's just about time for a mid-afternoon nap now! Anyway, we wanted to take some time out to share a set of St. Patrick's Day cards we made for our #1 customer!

These little cuties came out so much better than planned. This middle card is what the whole 'set' looks like when it's all together. As you might be able to tell, they are little folder cards and when you pull out the insert, there's a little Irish poem, wishing the recipient lots of luck with only a little trouble. Like every cute card, the little leprechauns have googly eyes and glitter makes everything better, of course!Who wouldn't love getting this card in their mailbox?!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful afternoon!

Hairy Birthday!

Good afternoon! We hope everyone is having a fantastic Sunday so far. Apart from the whole losing an hour, but at least the sun will be up a little longer from now on. Today happens to be our brother's birthday, so today's project is the card we made for him:

We thought it was about time we got into the 'mustache' craze. Although he doesn't (or hasn't) sport a mustache, he has definitely tried to rock the beard, so we thought it was somewhat-fitting. As for the greeting, "Hairy Birthday", it was one of those sayings where I thought I was so clever, only to find other people have used it before. Oh well. The inside of the card reads, "How old are you today?" because everyone knows that after a certain age, one birthday is the same as any other and you lose track of time. Turns out he's 33 and doesn't act a day over 23.
Thanks for stopping by today!
