Whoooooo Lives in a Pineapple.....

Hello Hivers,

My youngest son and I created this card for one of his classmates. He is in love with the Sponge that lives in a Pineapple. I got inspiration for this card from several places. I just made it my own. Of course, my son had to help me (a lot) with the specifics :-). I couldn't even begin to tell you what I used to create this punch art character. It was mostly trial and error. Mostly error on my part. LOL I do remember that I used the Butterfly punch for the tongue.

Heart Treat

Hello Hivers,

I am almost done catching up on late postings. I am busy decorating my new Crafting Hive. I will share photo's as soon as everything is complete. I am so excited.

Today's share is another from months ago. The idea came from Holly Krautkremer. Very simple project. I used Real Red and Very Vanilla card stock along with the Heart Treat Cups, Full Heart Punch, Heart to Heart punch, Word Window and the Modern Label punches.

Happy Birthday Sis

Hello Hivers,

I made this card for one of my sisters. It was quick and simple. I used the Take a Spin stamp set and attached the Game Spinner Hands to the top. I sponged on the colors (Florida Gator Fan). I tied some retired SAB ribbon around the bottom.

Enjoy your day.

Heart Squared

Hello Hivers,

This Valentine goodie was inspired by another stamper. I can't find the original designer. Just know that I didn't come up with this one on my own.

My favorite part of this project is...No, not the candy....it is the Scalloped heart of Hearts Embosslits Die. I love the look and feel of it. I also used the Scalloped Square Bigz Clear Die.

Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive today.

The Open Sea

Hello Hivers,

Today's card is another CASE'd project. The design/layout for this card came from Lisa Hensley. I love this stamp set "The Open Sea". I love the DSP even more. I was sad to see them get retired. I made several of these cards back in June for all the men in my life. This was their Father's Day card. Yes, I know I am a bit behind in my posting. Sorry. As always, Thanks for Buzzzing by.

A CASED Birthday

Hello Hivers,

I am really starting to fall in love with my Owl Punch. This little guy is so versatile. He can be dressed up for whatever occasion you need. I have told you all before that I am not that creative but I can copy just about anything. Well, this card is no exception. The original can be found on Maria Cameron's blog. Of course, I had to change the name on the card. The inside was done using MDS. I used the font called "handwriting" to look like I hand wrote the note inside.

Hanging Out

Hello Hivers,

OMG! Aren't these owls just the cutest? I seen this card on Darlene Davis's blog and just had to CASE it. I added window sheets to mine and used MDS (My Digital Studios) to make the sentiments. Thanks Darlene for such a wonderful and fun card.

Baby Shower

Hello Hivers,

I made these three projects for a friends baby shower. She wanted a box to put her thank you cards and gifts in. I made the lid for the box using the Scallop Circle and Clear Circle dies. The box itself is made from Melon Mambo card stock cut at 7.75 x 6.25". The thank you notes are 3 x 5.25 scored at 3". I used the two Tag Punches and attached a breast cancer awareness pin to it. She is also adding some chocolates to the box.
