While I still had the Mouse & Me Collection by Echo Park Paper out on my desk I decided to play with Snobert again
After colouring him with copics I mounted on foam squares and added glitter glue to his hat and pom pom and Glossy Accents to his nose. I then stamped the Christmas from the heart of Christmas stamp set die cut it out and mounted it on foam squares as well.
Be sure to grab Snobert while he is ON SALE for only $12.99 (regular $29.99)
Playing along with:
I have a couple of cards to share with you today and once again, using Unity stamps!
These cuties are part of this month’s KOM or you can purchase them separately as a KOMpanion Hide & Holiday Peek stamp set (it’s on SALE!) Both cards use the new Mouse & Me Christmas collection from Echo Park Paper. I really like the colors in this, the addition of the blue and yellow are perfect.
First up, Caught You Peeking. I layered the pattern paper then before adhering the white cardstock, I stencilled some snowflakes using a stencil from the Mouse & Me Collection. I mounted the images on foam squares then added some glitter glue to fur trim and glossy accents to the deer’s nose.
The using scraps from this card I made the background for the snowman card. For this one I also used the heart of Christmas stamp and die set from Unity
Grab the items by clicking on the photos.
I am playing along with JUGS – Anything goes Stencil Week and Simon Says – Christmas in September
Happy Friday! I got called to work today – I had big plans of playing in my craft room because it is supposed to be a rainy day. At least I have a card to share. I created this with the newest Unity Release – Snobert (it’s on SALE right now)- isn’t he adorable! you will be seeing a lot of him around here!
I have paired him with some Simple Stories papers – almost out of this collection, it was one of my favourites! After colouring I die cut the image out using the Nesting Postage Dies from Unity. I fussy cut a small mug from the pattern paper and adhered it to his hand, then added glitter glue to the pom pom and fur trim.
Of course snowflakes to finish it off.
That’s all for today. I promise I will be creating fall cards soon, but in the meantime I have had fun with this guy so be prepared!
Be sure to grab this stamp set while it is on SALE! Regular $29.99 on sale for $12.99!
First Autumn now I am jumping right into Christmas! I still do mail Christmas cards so I have to start early and besides when Unity releases such an adorable stamp set Mouse on a Merry Mission (on sale right now!) , I am always eager to ink it up! I couldn’t decide which one to use first so I used all of them to create a card set.
Aren’t they cute? For all cards the mice and sentiment are mounted on foam squares. The paper pack is Scandinavian holiday (which too, is on sale) Each card also has some sort of sparkle on it with glitter glue. Then, as always with my Christmas and winter cards, I added snowflakes.
For this first card I embossed the white cardstock with a snowflake embossing folder, though it is hard to see.
Next up, I created a tag then mounted the mouse on it.
For this last card, I used paper scraps and also created a snowflake border strip.
You definitely need this stamp set, so be sure to grab it while it is on sale! Just click on images for direct link.
Hey everyone, I am heading out today for our last camping trip of the season. Then I will be fully into fall mode! For this week’s Inspired By Challenge I was inspired by the theme and the sketch.
I used the Here Comes Autumn collection from Echo Park. I kept it simple as we just had company leave and I was getting ready for camping and didn’t have a lot of crafty time! The embossed vellum was done using a Stampin’ Up embossing folder.
The little acorn is a sticker that I adhered to some scrap paper and fussy cut so that I could mount on foam squares.
Cute story. My father in law picks up all the acorns that drop on his boulevard each year as he doesn’t want any oak trees growing. When I was teaching grade one, I told him they would be fun to have in class for the kids to count, sort etc. Each year he would give me a bucket full and always be sure to tell me how many was in it. LOL
Can’t wait to see how you are inspired this week.
Hey everyone, we are almost officially at the end of summer. We are heading out for one more camping trip this coming weekend after that I will definitely be embracing fall. What about you?
Today I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters sharing a card that I created with some Crafty Co goodies, and thought that Camping Meadow would be the perfect stamp.
I used the Coffee is Life paper pack. the background die is an old MFT one. I was able to just trim some of my scraps to fit in the cut outs. Once I was happy with where everything went I stitched it all down.
To be honest, this sentiment fits my husband more than me. He can’t go without his coffee! And even though I am more of a tea drinker (I do like my lattes though) I can go without it if I have to. What about you?
Once I had her all coloured I adhered the mug to her hand and mounted her and the sentiment on foam squares. I can’t remember where I got the coffee die 🫣 please tell me if you know!
That’s all from me today. Now it‘s time to work on the piles of laundry we brought home!

Have you seen this cute stamp Knit Wits from Unity? So many ways you can use this but I certainly thought they would make great anniversary cards for my hubby LOL
I paired it with the Cozy Textiles papers. I love the colours in this collection. For both cards I used my civics to colour and then added some Glossy Accents to the dogs nose.
I just might have to give this one to hubby… the sentiment is so cute
I just played around with the pattern paper until I like how it looked and once happy with it I adhered and stitched. I mounted the image on foam squares.
For the next card. I used some of the scraps from the first card and once again, just played around until I like how they looked.
I always stitch on my cards but it just seemed fitting to do so on these one. Once again, the image is mounted on foam squares.
Now if you like this cute stamp set… go grab it as it is on sale right now!
I love this week’s Inspired By theme. I love to travel, and having a daughter who lives in Germany means we travel at least once a year to Europe. I was inspired by the theme and the sketch.
For my card I used the It’s Time to Travel collection from Echo Park and paired it with the Happy Retirement stamp set from Unity. I retired from teaching full time, and just substitute teach at my old school so we are able to travel anytime of the year. But, hubby is retiring anytime now, so I made this card for him!
Once I had the pattern paper adhered and stitched I then went through the It’s Time to Travel sticker book, adhered some stickers to scrap paper, cut out stapled the stamped sentiments and mounted on foam squares. I then just added a couple more stickers to finish it all off.
Do you like to travel? Where is your next trip going to be?
Can’t wait to see how you are inspired this week.
Hey everyone, happy Friday and the first Friday of September. In my mind it’s fall LOL
For this week’s Inspired By challenge I was inspired by the rolling pins and used some goodies from Crafty Stamp Co (they have FREE shipping this weekend!)
I paired the Patissir Meadow with the Sugar & Spice paper pack. (I love their packs as they are nice and thick and come with a plastic sleeve to hold them in once opened) I used some scraps and stitched them on then stamped and coloured some of the items on the stamp set. All of which are mounted on foam squares.
I have had the homemade die for several years and don’t remember where I got it. (Also think this is the first time using it LOLOL)
I used one of my sketches – which you can find HERE (I plan on adding more periodically so be sure to check back). If you use any of my sketches I would love if you tagged me and linked to my sketch page so others can find it!
I can’t wait to see how you are inspired this week.

Hey everyone, a brand new month and I am excited because to me, when it is September it is fall LOL but I know some of you might feel this way about the end of summer.
I have used this fun stamp called Coffee is Not Enough from Unity Isn’t she fun. Can. you relate to her some days?
I paired her with the Butter My Biscuit paper pack which is also from Unity. Have you ever used their papers? They are a nice thick, cardstock. So many fun paper packs to choose from too.
After coloring her with copics I mounted her on foam squares, but tucking some messy thread under as well, just to further the ‘foggy/messy brain’ feeling haha.
That’s all from me today. But I am curious are you team summer or team fall?
