Sister Stamps Release #24 -- Leilani

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Sister Stamps Release #24 previews.  This release will also mark Sister Stamps 3rd birthday!  Yay, and congratulations to Jenny and her sister, Denise!  Hopefully you have been following up with Jenny's introductions of these 3 new shave ice kiddos.  Today, I'll be sharing a card I created with Leilani.

Leilani has the saddest face ever!  Isn't this the saddest thing when your yummy treat falls to the ground?  So sad.  I haven't personally done this and my kids haven't either but I can imagine how she's feeling and don't we all have times when we're totally bummed like this?  Leilani would be perfect for a Cheer Up or Feel Better kind of card.  But she reminded me of the Keep Calm sayings that are around these days.  I found a free Keep Calm font, made my own sentiment and turned it into a shaker card with Doodlebug sequins. 

Here's a close up of sad but sweet Leilani. 

Please be sure to visit our talented Guest DT and the regular Sister Stamps DT as well.

Oh Baby Cards

Thought I'd take a break from posting all the teacher gifts and stationary sets. I do have some more of those to share. But today I wanted to post cute baby cards. The one above uses the Oh Baby stamp set from The Greeting Farm. The layout was inspired by a card on Papertrey Ink (PTI) but I can't seem to find it on their blog anymore. In any case, there were 3 floral images on the front and I just thought that was so nice and clean looking. I had the embossed vellum paper (K & Co. I think) for many years (6 years maybe?) and finally used it. I was a bit of a paper hoarder but I am so much better now. I even let my kids use my paper scraps so they can make their own card/craft creations. Allows me to buy more paper faster! "Happiness" is a rub on from a Stampin' Up set.

This next card uses the same stamp set. It's a basic shaker card--lots of tutorials out there on how to make one. Splitcoast Stampers has one here. The background paper and card stock are from PTI. Ever since Cheryl got me the Corner Chomper, I like making rounder corners on my cards. That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Knuffle Bunny

Hi!  The Greeting Farm had their Customer Challenge & Chit Chat Night "A Night at the Bookstore" and introduced a few challenges.  I have to say chatting was too fast for me and I couldn't really keep up.  It was still early here, and I had to pick up the kids from school and activities and make dinner and eat and so I guess the timing didn't really work out with our schedule. You can check out the challenge details on the SCS forum HERE.  I made this card for Favorite Child's Book category.  It is based on the Mo Willems book Knuffle Bunny.  It's one of my kids' favorites and it's such a cute story.  We actually love reading Mo Willems' books especially his Elephant and Piggie series.  Those books are hilarious!  This challenge also made me realize that I haven't read many books recently except kids' books.  I used to love reading but just haven't given it much time lately.  Anyway, here is my card.

If you've read the story, you know Knuffle Bunny gets left behind in the washer at a local laundromat.  So that's what I made.  A washing machine and a TGF version of Knuffle Bunny.  I used one of the bunnies from TGF's Lucky Bunnies (rubber version).

So I stamped the bunny and wiped off his face and drew in features similar to Knuffle Bunny.  I also added some clothes from TGF's Wardrobe set and flower soft for soap for this shaker card.  The word bubble die cut is from MFT.

I think that is it.  Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
