Good morning, friends!! It has, unfortunately, been quite
a long time since we’ve posted something new. Between the usual, school and
work, we’ve been pretty busy. And on top of that, the kiddos have passed on the
cold bug, so we had been fighting that, too. That was a huge pain, but it seems
to have cleared up. Hopefully that’ll be the last of it, although the
fall/winter season is in full swing here. The rain does help with the
productivity- who wants to go outside in the rain?! In the little bit of
healthy free-time we’ve had, we’ve been uber busy with our crafting projects,
and a few projects for ourselves. We’ve had a handful of superhero projects-
some invitations and a ton of bags, and this little set of a card and a banner
we created for our little cousin’s Hulk-themed birthday:
We were also tasked with creating a few new bag designs. Here is a picture of some of our new ones, which include The Incredibles (no capes!), Robin, and the Ninja Turtles, though only two are shown
We also worked on some cards in the last few weeks,
including these two “punny” cards. The first one is a card we sent out to our
family and friends- a little farm-themed card that reads “Cow’s it Going?”. The
other is one we wanted to post a while back, but never got to it. It is a fall
inspired, little shape card that features a fox in a pile of leaves. The inside
of the card reads “Sending you piles of smiles”
The biggest, most exciting news of the last few weeks is
that our very close friend (hopefully she still thinks this…) and her husband
are expecting a little one this April!! It’s all very exciting! We made a few
cards to send to congratulate them:
How cute are these two?! The Winnie the Pooh card was
inspired by the scrapbook paper that was used in some of the details, like the
crib sheet. It’s kind of hard to see, but it’s there. And the paper has been in
our collection for a while now, so we figured why not use it?! We also included
a little basketball because they both used to play and are now gym teachers.
And like all of our projects, we used a ton of pop dots! The second is a super
cute side step card designed to look like a baby’s nursery. We included the
dresser, with clothes and all, along with some toys and dolls. We couldn’t
forget the crib with the sleeping baby and the mobile hanging over!
The last two projects we have to share are some Halloween
ones we were working on. The first was a set of cards we made for our
sister-in-law (don’t mind the pajama pants in the background- we got an early
start that day!). These easel cards feature a little googly-eyed witch and her
broom. We also embossed a spider web on the background and added some
rhinestones in the corner of the card. The inside of the card reads “Witch-ing
you a Happy Halloween” and a little bat that holds the easel up. And as with
all cute, “girly” cards, there’s some sparkle, too!
The last project we’ve worked on was a banner we made for
a customer. This one was a personalized Halloween banner that features two
teddy bears, one a ghoulish witch and the other a spooky jack-o’-lantern.
We, of course, used pop dots on the characters and
letters. We finished off with some rhinestones on the letters. Each piece is
tied together with multiple colored ribbons and some glitter tulle!
Phew! Quite a long post today, huh?! Sorry about that! We
probably could have (and maybe should have) done them individually. Hopefully
we’ll finish and post some of our new holiday items that we've been working on and some holiday
projects we have planned! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
