Happy Anniversary

Hi everyone! 

Over at Joy's Life DT Blog, we are creating what ever our little heart desires using Joy's Life stamps. I've been seeing a lot of CAS cards (clean and simple) and thought I'd experiment a little with that.

 The sentiment is from Joy's Everyday Occasions stamp set. I love this set because you can mix-and-match the stamps. It's full of possibilities ;) 

Have a fun, crafty day!

Thanks a melon

I know I've been MIA lately, but I'm taking summer school classes and each one is FOUR hours long! :O Anywho, over at Joy's Life DT we are sharing projects with watermelons since Summer is here. :) 

The sentiment is from the Yummy Puns stamp set. :-) This stamp set always comes in handy!

Meow are you? ^_^

Hi everyone ♥

Today I'm sharing a slider card over at Joy's Life Design Team blog. I had always wanted to make one, but was a little confused on what to cut, sizes, etc... but the Silhouette Cameo made it soo easy!! I think I've said this before, but the hardest part was choosing the pattern paper LOL 

The sentiment is from Joy's brand new stamp set, Punny Animals. This entire stamp set is adorable. Take a look at the entire stamp set here. 

The following pictures will show the girl's progress on the "slider" cut. The card base and the slider piece are from the Silhouette Store. 

Here, she made it to the right side :-)   All of the pattern paper is from Echo Park Paper except the girl's dress and sentiment mat. I used My Mind's Eye pattern paper for her dress and the sentiment mat. 

I used foam tape to add all the dimension. 

This week the design team has been working on animal themed projects. Stop by the blog to for some inspiration and to say hi! :) 

Have a fun, crafty day!

Project Life card holder

Hello everyone! Over at Joy's Life Design Team blog we are showcasing Home Decor projects. I decided to make a magazine holder for my project life cards to not only decorate my scrap area, but to help me organize. I can't say this enough... the silhouette cameo is incredibly easy to use and Joy's Life stamps compliment most cuts!

The sentiment on this holder is from the Tag You're It One stamp set.

This sentiment is from the Tag You're It Two stamp set.

I'm not sure of the item number, but it's called 3x4 life card magazine holder from Lori Whitlock. 

All of the pattern paper is from Echo Park Paper.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a fun, crafty day!

Wonderful Woman Flower Pot card

Hi everyone!

 I've been having so much fun playing with the Silhouette Cameo! I saw this flower pot card kit on the Sil Store and decided to give it a try. It was unbelievably easy to assemble and Joy's stamp just finished it off. 

 The sentiment "Wonderful Woman" is from Joy's My Hero stamp set. 

This is how it looks when you slip it out of the pot. 

Don't forget to grab yourself one of the new stamp sets from Joy's Life HERE - or maybe all three! :) 

Have a fun, crafty day!

Hope your day is amazing

Hello everyone! I hope all of you are doing great! 
Today I'm sharing another CAS card using washi tape over at Joy's Life Design Team blog.

The sentiment is from Joy's Life, My Hero stamp set.

 Joy's stamps make it so easy to make cards very quickly. I only used washi tape and Joy's stamps. ♥ 

 For this card, I opted out on cutting the washi with scissors. Instead, I ripped it so it could give it a different look. 

Have a fun, crafty day!

Orange you sweet

Hello, hello! 

Orange you glad it's almost Friday? :)

I love, love, love the sentiment. It's from Joy's brand new stamp set, That Tastes Punny. You can get yours here. They're already shipping! ;)  

The two oranges are from the Silhouette Store. I added yellow stickles on them. 

Have a fun, crafty day!

Girl Power Treat box

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday! 

Over at Joy's Life Design Team blog we are sharing projects using recycled/upcycled items. I have to admit, I'm a hoarder, I try to keep everything I can! You know the clam shells that the Cricut cartridges come in? Well, I cut most of mine out and have been stockpiling them lol 

I created this easy to mass produce treat box using the Artiste cartridge, the Gypsy, and Joy's Life stamps. 

The cute, playful sentiment is from Joy's brand new stamp set, My Hero. As you can see, all of Joy's stamp sets are so versatile! 

I hope you can see part of the clam shell in the photo. 

Originally, this treat box is closed, but I used the Gypsy to layer over the a tag from the Artiste cartridge onto two parts of the box. 

 The pattern paper is from DCWV's All About Girls 12x12 paper stack.

 Have a fun, crafty day!

You quack me up

Hello everyone! How's everyone doing? I have been swamped with school and just everyday life. I hope everyone is having a great week!

I'm sharing this shaped card over at Joy's Life Design Team blog.

I've been playing with my Silhouette Cameo and cut this ducky out. It was so easy! 

  This cute sentiment is from Joy's brand new stamp set, Punny Animals. 

I decided not to cut the eye from the image and opted to use black enamel accents for the eye. 

Have a fun, crafty day!

Hey Sugar

Hello, hello ♥

I'm very happy to share my first project using my Silhouette Cameo! I gave in and bought one... but I'm still very in love with my good ole Cricut. As I was browsing the Silhouette store, I found several cuts I was dying to use with Joy's stamps and decided to go with this mason jar. 

The sentiment is from one of Joy's brand new stamp sets, That Tastes Punny. Check the entire release HERE! :)  

The flower pattern paper is from Simple Stories Summer Fresh 6x6 paper pad, the doily is from Target, and the twine from Trendy Twine.
