Didn't you just love the hop? And..wasn't the design team announcement exciting! (Scroll down a couple days if you missed it.) I am looking forward to a bigger design team. That means more smiles, laughs...and inspiration using Pretty Cute Stamps!

Here is another card that uses BOTday...

Apparently I am on a blue/orange kick these days.  It's just such a fun color combo!!

I addedso me metal ringed tags...along with a button swag there.  The recipient can easily unclip it from the card...a mini giftie!

Do you see the Awesome Arrow peeking in the back? 

It's a great set that adds a little flair to any card.

If you don't have it, you MUST add it to your shopping card.

Remember, you have another day or so to buy sets from the August release for 30% off!

So..what are the top 3 sets on your wish list from the new release?

I had to get the Little Pumpkins set!

The "Give them pumpkin to talk about" was so clever!  

I made a card and will post it on Tuesday on my blog,

Sunnyside Up.

Thanks for stopping by today! 

I hope you'll pop a squat over on my blog soon!!

Let's sew up some arrows!!!

Hey beautiful crafters! I am so excited to share a little project that I whipped up for my daughter this week. 

So the Santa Claus came by and gave baby girl a super adorable Barbie house with all the furniture and accessories. One problem...the blanket that came with Barbie's bed was less than stellar if I do say so myself. So off to the craft room I ran. 

I grabbed my favorite stamp set Awesome Arrows and some freezer paper. I used StazOn ink to stamp out my favorite arrow 5 times and then I cut it out. I ironed the freezer paper onto the jean-"ish" fabric and cut around the arrows with fabric scissors. Then I just peeled the paper off. It can be used again and again as a sewing pattern. 

I then put the two pieces of fabric right sides facing each other and stitched all around. Leave a 3" opening on the bottom middle of the pillow. Be sure to clip your corners at an angle so they don't have much bulge. Turn inside out and be sure to push out the corners. Now this little gem is Barbies and so it's stuffed with some left over fleece that I had from Hubbies Christmas slippers. I just cut the fleece into 2x2 squares and stuffed it up. Then I did a straight stitch around the entire pillow. I used the old "blanket" from Barbies original house and made a template for this blanket. Cut it out to match the pillow and Voila a new bedroom set for Barbie. Baby girl was very happy and I love that I got to use my favorite stamp set for sewing! Bam

Hope you guys had a great Holiday and that your New Year is safe and full of love!!!

All my best,

Raven

Clean & Simple

Hey beautiful crafters! I'm so glad you stopped by today!

I decided to make a really pretty clean and simple card to share with you all. With the holidays and the weather changing a clean and simple card can bring life to anything and it can gift some inspiration to others as well.

This card is using the Awesome Arrows stamp set as well as the Fight Like a Girl set!

Have you ever gotten into a creative rut and didn't know where to turn? I'm gonna tell you my best kept secret for color inspiration...Magazines. My favorite being Downeast Basics wardrobe catalog. They send out a mini magazine every other month or so and the colors and designs are just sooo beautiful! That's my first go to if I'm in a creative rut and that's how I came to use gold, dark ble and a lighter blue as shown on this project. 

I hope you are all having a blessed week!!!

Hugs & Creative Blessings,

Raven

Awesome Arrows

Hey beautiful crafters! I'm so happy to share with you a tag I made using the new Awesome Arrows stamp set!

I'm pretty sure this is my favorite out of this release but then again I notice I keep picking up those Lizards time and time again so ya never know!

We needed something cute to wrap some gifts in this weekend and so I grabbed the heat and stick and some silver glitter and got to stamping. 

Hope you all have a wonderful week and happy crafting!!!

Hugs,

Raven
