A Few Christmas Cards

A few weeks ago I was able to make it to a card class and here are a few cards we made.

Jolly July 3rd Party. . .

We decided to make these shirts and got the idea from our Family Fun Magazine. They were fun to make. A little more mommy crafting then the little people crafting. I didn't use the glue and glitter like they suggested. I just used regular fabric paint.

I also used the pasta stamp to make party favor bags. . .

And in the bags I made individual pinatas in the shape of fireworks.

A few more things to do in the kitchen and then PARTY time! - YEAH!

Flag Stamping

Today we decided to start making some decorations for our Jolly July 3rd Party. The party is to 1/2 to celebrate the 4th of July and 1/2 to celebrate Miss almost 5!

I carved a flag into a styrofoam tray ( silly me forgot to reverse the image and I have no more trays)

and then let Miss A paint the colors on. . .

and then let her stamp away. .

They turned out cute, now I need more trays. . .

Card Stamping Party

Last night I had a few gal pals over to have some fun stamping/making cards. Here is what we made. . .

Christmas Blessings

I make my Christmas cards every year. This year I challenged myself to not purchase anything new to make them. I borrowed the stamp set from a friend and all paper and inks I had on hand. I used liquid applique on the sheep and when heated with a embossing heat tool it gives the neatest texture.
