Making Memories Giggle Kids Cards
Thank you all so much for your comforting words regarding Muffin’s passing. She was a special part of our family and I’m happy to have so many wonderful memories of her! I have a couple cards to share today that I created when my friend Amy came to visit earlier this month. We took a trip to Archiver’s while she was here so I was feeling inspired to create something with the new goodies I picked up. I fell in love with this Making Memories Giggle Kids patterned paper so naturally I had to have all the cutie coordinating embellishments too! I picked up the patterned paper, puff stickers, and mini clothespins to match. I used one of Amy’s Sassafras clear stamps for the flower stems, and that’s the only stamping I did on this card! I cut the flowers from the patterned paper and used the puff stickers for the flower centers. The butterfly and sentiment are a rub-on from an old SU Love & Happiness pack. And I used a Doodlebug Sew Easy rub-on to dot the flower stems. When we moved this summer my Janome Sew Mini had to be taken apart in order to pack it up. And then I never figured out how to thread the needle again and all that stuff. I know it’s not hard… it was just a matter of doing it! So when Amy was here she got my sewing machine all set up again so you’re likely to see much more stitching on my cards now… it’s addicting!
I used the same Making Memories patterned paper on the second card along with the puff stickers and a mega rhinestone for the flower centers. Oh…and the little birdie is a puff sticker too! The ‘hello’ sentiment is from a Heidi Grace clear stamp set. The cardstock colors for both of these cards are Classic Red and Vibrant Teal. The ribbon is 5/8″ black polka dot and I used the same Martha Stewart border punch on each of these cards. I’m seriously addicted to this punch! Amy brought it along with her and I think I used it on every card I made while she was here! She took the punch home with her (I know…the nerve! *wink*) so I’ve been scouring Michael’s and Archiver’s for my own punch like this, but I haven’t had any luck finding it. But it won’t be able to elude me much longer the way I’m going with this obsession! *grin* Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
