I needed to make a quick Thank You card and wanted to use the stamp set, Ewe Are The Best, from My Favorite Things. along with Lawn Fawn dies and paper. I'm still learning how to use my Copic Markers and it's a lot of fun playing with them.</div>

The wonderful thing about clear stamp sets is not only do you get a lot of images and sayings for a great price but you can bend sentiments if needed. Now, I need to make sure that I put the card in an envelope and pop it in the mail! </div>

I didn't realize until now that it has been over 6 months since my last post! Thankfully, things have been going well. I've been busy with work but I still make time to do some crafting. Here's a pretty quick card I made using Lawn Fawn's Flamingo Together and Life Is Good stamp set. </div>

My embossing gun was broken when I tried to heat the embossing powder. I had to go Old School and use the toaster to heat the letters up. (Yes, there was a time before embossing guns! LOL!)<br />
<br />
I hope you have a great day!! </div>

I hope you have been having a good summer. I can't believe it is August already. It's been hot here in Colorado and I discovered that cross stitch was the perfect hobby for this weather. I'd sit in the living room under the ceiling fan and stitch away.<br />
<br />
I started cross stitching years ago and put it down for 15 years. Last year I started picking up some great magazines from the UK again. It was a happy moment when I opened up my Longaberger Picnic basket and found all my floss clean, organized, and ready to use. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This past May, I got to spend a week in Paris with my sister and brother in law. After that trip, I decided that I'd start stitching some of the places that I've been lucky to have visited as a special memento.<br />
<br />
This pattern is from the Cross Stitch Crazy magazine. What drew me to it is the vibrant colors. I still need to get it framed but at least all the hard work is done.<br />

Is there a hobby that you put aside for awhile and returned to it later? I'd love to hear what it was.Patty Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11777491595306437098noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036092286121254162.post-60202471647159847452015-06-07T13:40:00.000-06:002015-06-07T15:34:17.610-06:00Purrfect Pair CardI know it has been ages since I last posted to my blog. I've still been crafting here and there but just not taking the time to blog about it. I like to dabble in many hobbies so lately, I've been knitting and cross stitching instead of paper crafting. (I guess I should share those projects with you all.) If you feel like it, drop by Facebook and like the page, The Crafty Kitten. I've been sharing some of my projects there. <br />
<br />
Here's a card I made awhile back using Mama Elephant stamps. When I saw the Purrfect Pair stamp set, I knew it was one that I just had to have. I used Copics for color and Lawn Fawn paper for the background.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Wow! How can it be that my last post was in August? Time sure does fly! Well to give you a update as to what I've been up to, I decided to take time off from blogging and focus a little more on work and other hobbies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> In September, our house was one of many that experienced flooding during the heavy rains in Colorado. While we were VERY fortunate to still have a roof over our heads, there was a lot of work to be done since our basement was now a wall to wall carpet soaked mess. We decided that we could handle doing all the flooring and painting ourselves....so that's what became my next project! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm so glad you could stop by the Crafty Kitten for Joy's Life's <span style="color: #cc0000;">Fun Card Folds Birthday Blog Hop</span>! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This will be my last Blog Hop post for awhile as a member of Joy's team so it's a little bittersweet. Everything's going ok...I'm just taking a little time off to craft for the holidays and do some traveling. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For this hop, I decided to do what I call a Modified Gate Fold Card. Here's a pic of it closed.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVuXBPAYkBL1kT6FYT5rigbKex113AflSgv_8q1wwLSEnYkKTvXzhyw7602JtksrjAGjpK6RLv3XDMXx4Ah1TMSbR5E6V8Wm4xqVSvLLlz0Cx8abYubGcvduEsJo-9Zq2Rvv6Yu7PHko0/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVuXBPAYkBL1kT6FYT5rigbKex113AflSgv_8q1wwLSEnYkKTvXzhyw7602JtksrjAGjpK6RLv3XDMXx4Ah1TMSbR5E6V8Wm4xqVSvLLlz0Cx8abYubGcvduEsJo-9Zq2Rvv6Yu7PHko0/s400/photo+3.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what it looks like when you swing the gates open. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The stamp I used is from Joy's Yummy Puns set. You can grab your own set <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">To create this card, start with a white base. Cut the pink paper at 11.5" x 4"</span> <span style="font-size: large;">and score it at 2 7/8 x 8 5/8.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvA2X4KMfKaJ-B3VcS48OaQ2j96HUqNLNzvNYa3saQLpk6kP6jc2TauLVd9VDITcBl2LWOQHYBjG3AENyvYJLU0xzHh_P-IHwG7idPoZZnyKtmJcvXFSaekq6OkYF5OnJtkgERlSnEQY8/s1600/photo+1+copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvA2X4KMfKaJ-B3VcS48OaQ2j96HUqNLNzvNYa3saQLpk6kP6jc2TauLVd9VDITcBl2LWOQHYBjG3AENyvYJLU0xzHh_P-IHwG7idPoZZnyKtmJcvXFSaekq6OkYF5OnJtkgERlSnEQY8/s400/photo+1+copy.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tape a scalloped Nestability to the paper and run that side through your CuttleBug. Tape it to the other side of the gate and run it again. (You can't tell from my pics but I managed to emboss each side with a polka dot folder.)</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhziZPfCIhJuk1bLMkw25Si5IIJ9NqYJUhzwII22TnWlgSv3nQWem7TMWznBbeI_GisPCMoDv8tht3ZytJD5an3RNhzgxlXdezn1N_gs7_XyHUJeNFjne1xm-P23JTERGPR-DZy3ZWDNHE/s1600/photo+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhziZPfCIhJuk1bLMkw25Si5IIJ9NqYJUhzwII22TnWlgSv3nQWem7TMWznBbeI_GisPCMoDv8tht3ZytJD5an3RNhzgxlXdezn1N_gs7_XyHUJeNFjne1xm-P23JTERGPR-DZy3ZWDNHE/s400/photo+5.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For the frame on the front, use two of the scallops at the same time</span>. <span style="font-size: large;">After adhering it to the front of the card, carefully cut the frame in half. Embellish the inside to your taste. (I cut the inside scallop slightly larger than the window.)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, all! This week, I've got a post for you as part of <a href="http://joyslifedt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Joy's Life's Design Team.</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Joy
came up with the super cute theme this week....Down By The Creek Bank.
I remember as a kid catching night crawlers with my dad and finding
salamanders in the window wells. Yes, I was a tomboy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Growing
up, I didn't see many frogs around but I wanted to use one for my
project. This one is from Cricut's Create A Critter cartridge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Lot's Of Pun</span> was the first stamp set that I bought from Joy! You can get yours <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuPS-7sV6tfg-COdWrdGHqZewkStgo_SiryOVuRLwiJ24S-6xLbqfmLZxDTRK-2mnvaR9xdDS5-fz3S5hMxVuBYuf__Az6UVIAGsVW42ajbpGSA0nAwh7gJgR2Pn6AjiJrqkpoTpjMdohC/s1600/photo+2+copy+3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuPS-7sV6tfg-COdWrdGHqZewkStgo_SiryOVuRLwiJ24S-6xLbqfmLZxDTRK-2mnvaR9xdDS5-fz3S5hMxVuBYuf__Az6UVIAGsVW42ajbpGSA0nAwh7gJgR2Pn6AjiJrqkpoTpjMdohC/s400/photo+2+copy+3.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For
this weeks card, I used DoodleBug's Flower Box paper set. The card is
4.25 x 5.5 in size. I cut the frog at 3.5" and then played around with
the paper strips to figure out what size I wanted. I stamped the saying
on a strip of white paper and then cut the tab by hand. After adding
stitching, ribbon, and a plastic flower, the card was done! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for coming along with me on a trip down memory lane! I hope you'll leave a comment and share one of your favorite memories with me. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, everyone! Thanks for stopping by! Today I have a Friend Shaped Card for you on behalf of JoysLife's <a href="http://joyslifedt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Design Team</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can tell by the name of my blog that I LOVE cats! They've been cherished family members to my hubby and I over the years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I saw this file, I thought this would be a sweet card to make for a friend. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Packed with fun sentiments, you can grab your own set of Yummy Puns <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To
recreate this card using your cutting machine, resize the SVG file so
it will fit in a 4.25x5.5 envelope. Add some dry embossing and crystals
to make your project sparkle. I cut the cat out of black paper since it
reminds me of my cat, Moonlight. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've got a simple but colorful card for you that would be easy for you to recreate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The stamp I used is from Joy's new <span style="color: red;">My Hero</span> stamp set. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This card is sized for an A-2 envelope. I used Doodlebug papers (my favorite) and templates from Kiwi Lane </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Designs to create it. Inking around the edges, hand drawn stitching, and a button tops it off. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Glad you could stop by the Crafty Kitten and join us for Joy's Life's Design Team's <span style="color: red;">Red</span>, <span style="color: #999999;">White</span>, and <span style="color: blue;">Blue</span> Blog Hop! With July just around the corner, we're featuring patriotic projects. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you came here from <a href="http://staceyscreativecorner.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stacey's blog</a>, you're in the right place. If you stumbled on this post, and want to start at the beginning do so at Joy's blog <a href="http://joyslife.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've used Doodlebug Designs paper and stickers to make four quickie cards for you. If you find yourself in a pinch for time, grab yourself a page of stickers and you can have a set of cards ready in no time. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">This first card features a stamp from Joy's <span style="color: blue;">Pun In The Sun</span> set. It can be meant as an encouragement for someone you know entering the service. </span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This next card would be perfect for that special someone heading off to the Air Force. I cut out the inside of the flag sticker and filled it with a saying from Joy's <span style="color: blue;">Pun In The Sun</span> set.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This firecracker card, made with a stamp from Joy's <span style="color: red;">My Hero</span> set, could be given to your loved one who's deployed to let them know that despite the distance, you're a great team. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, everyone!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">It's been awhile but here I am with my first project for <a href="http://joyslife.com/">JoysLife.com</a> in a quite some time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm still helping run Joy's Life's Design Team but it was a nice change to go in my room and do some crafting!</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first day of Summer just around the corner and we've been celebrating it this past week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I saw this cute crab image in the Silhouette store, I knew I had to make a project with him! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a closeup of the stamp I used from Joy's <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html">Pun In The Sun</a> set. If you ink it up well, it will stamp great on Bazzill paper.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
The card is a standard 4.25x5.5" but I cut the paper vertically for a
change. I used a variety of textured papers on it. To keep it from
looking so plain, I used glitter and hand drawn stitching. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, that is all for me today! I hope you all are having a great time and enjoying the summer! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, everyone! I know it has been an eternity since I have made a post. I'm still on the <a href="http://joyslife.com/">JoysLife.com</a> Design Team...but on a limited basis. Work and life have been crazy, which I am sure most of you can relate to! </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! Glad you can join us for <a href="http://joyslife.com/" target="_blank">Joy's Life's</a> "Inspired By" Blog Hop!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you came over from <a href="http://joyfulstamper.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Maria</a>
then you are in the right spot. If you stumbled across
this post and want to start hopping from the beginning, you can do so <a href="http://joyslife.com/">here</a>. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /> I must have been hungry when I got my inspiration for this hop! I remembered seeing these cool Rainbow cakes and figured with all this color, I ought to be able to create SOMETHING!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">With Easter right around the corner I used pastel, instead of primary colors for my project. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here's what I came up with! </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrnCH0iDgYlGWTm90carz9KB4-p5RsjZHr1tQUhqOhFLC_Emcpm2-wgfk1z3iqOnC1LX1vaOVCe1-Q64vQeFYKREVflWyUUAJSyKC6_xzBkGPq-WHRmi9X8dhwcGeAwVSYzrjpSgDk9Ts/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrnCH0iDgYlGWTm90carz9KB4-p5RsjZHr1tQUhqOhFLC_Emcpm2-wgfk1z3iqOnC1LX1vaOVCe1-Q64vQeFYKREVflWyUUAJSyKC6_xzBkGPq-WHRmi9X8dhwcGeAwVSYzrjpSgDk9Ts/s640/photo.JPG" width="502" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's a neat candy container stamped with sayings from Joy's <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Everyday</span> and <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Holiday Occasions</span> sets. If you'd like a set of your own, grab them <a href="http://www.joyslife.com/" target="_blank">her</a><a href="http://www.joyslife.com/" target="_blank">e</a>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now for a look at the backside of the mug. (I know I could have added something to the candy sleeves but decided that the mug would be the main focus. It was also getting a bit cramped after I stuffed all the sleeves in.) </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx6rNxvgjYWv2T4LfyDMXy3WfzJaBqDOpVfs-JJwHK1OoSCSYO66Wjg1JnNjNClKoO_v5Mg7y9nZ1VGlGzawQKjFv1ny6ExFSIO6kAnDfibrY-1EelEh68A5sZqp_nH7PTr3IDYWVfdYY/s1600/photo+copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx6rNxvgjYWv2T4LfyDMXy3WfzJaBqDOpVfs-JJwHK1OoSCSYO66Wjg1JnNjNClKoO_v5Mg7y9nZ1VGlGzawQKjFv1ny6ExFSIO6kAnDfibrY-1EelEh68A5sZqp_nH7PTr3IDYWVfdYY/s640/photo+copy.JPG" width="470" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">For this fairly simple project, I covered a glass mug with papers and stickers from
Doodlebug's new Flower Box collection. I then stamped "Happy Easter" with Memento's Rose Bud ink and added a brad to the center of the flower on banner. I then wrapped twine around the handle to spice it up a little. M&M's were sorted by color and then packaged in
1x8 cellophane bags to give the rainbow effect. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, everyone! I've got a fun St. Patrick's day project for you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
thought since I married into a Bailey family, I ought to post something
today to celebrate the occasion! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a fun door hanger to brighten up your day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_Em0mbuKxda71mBjBqmp4b9FBcK2IOvmgmgQfOJ2izhq5jz4t_4_JvwWsth1H41QO_migyzxGO81lHgAYE0DtTcQ-aBIwymbX7VpIuPndQ_p5EOe54Oy4QMQXUm9TlzxndyGZ53S4U_J/s1600/photo.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_Em0mbuKxda71mBjBqmp4b9FBcK2IOvmgmgQfOJ2izhq5jz4t_4_JvwWsth1H41QO_migyzxGO81lHgAYE0DtTcQ-aBIwymbX7VpIuPndQ_p5EOe54Oy4QMQXUm9TlzxndyGZ53S4U_J/s640/photo.JPG" width="436" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When
I was cutting this, I thought the pattern was super cute but I think
the cuteness factor went way over the top after I added Joy's stamp from
her <span style="color: #38761d;">Yummy Puns</span> set!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can check out Joy's stamps <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html">here</a>.
She's also has THREE new sets coming out! Joy's offering some great
pre-order and bundle deals so I hope you'll check them out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This adorable SVG comes from <a href="http://svgcuts.com/" target="_blank">SVGCuts</a> Charm and Chance set. I cut it out using Sure Cuts A Lot software and my Cricut. You can also use your Silhouette with their files. I resized the file to fit my door knob and added some glitter paper for the shamrock to spice it up a bit. T<span style="font-size: large;">he banner is a strip of paper that I cut by hand and popped up with some foam tabs. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a safe and Happy St. Patrick's Day!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, everyone! Hopefully, you've been able to follow <a href="http://joyslifedt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Joy's Design Team</a> lately since we've all been wishing her a Happy Birthday! Her actual birthday is the 19th but we thought we'd extend the celebration for the entire week!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought I'd mix a couple of my hobbies for this post. Here's what I created! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I tell you, my mouth seems to water when I'm crocheting these cupcakes because they look soooo yummy!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The stamp I used is from Joy's Yummy Puns set. Pick up your own set <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html" target="_blank">her</a><a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html" target="_blank">e</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now for how I made this... I crocheted the cupcake in the round (Amigurumi) and filled the bottom of it with rice and the top with some fiberfill before stitching it shut. Here's a <a href="http://nimoe.wordpress.com/2007/12/16/amigurumi-cupcake-tutorial/" target="_blank">link</a> to a free pattern that you may want to try.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The "sprinkles" are metallic pins I picked up at my local hobby shop. A Sizzix die cut the tag that I embellished using some colorful ribbon and a super cute Doodlebug cupcake brad.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">It may be arriving a little late in the mail for Joy's birthday but I hope she enjoys it when she gets it! </span> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi, everyone!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I recently found some time to just play in my hobby room. I made this Valentine's Day card by doing a variation of a gate fold card. This is a picture of it closed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what it looks like when it is partially opened.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1sduufyz0Z2c0kuw-QEIITEezhcobOxSvZxBXti8gr5Oo1MuRw2sk5us151EhLQuoZYuwpzl1Mu9ys4DyxMLXynh_G2VASASNrWR0VQwhh5tXS0U8EbyL9WKWaipxh0-8AAKS0xb1Vck/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1sduufyz0Z2c0kuw-QEIITEezhcobOxSvZxBXti8gr5Oo1MuRw2sk5us151EhLQuoZYuwpzl1Mu9ys4DyxMLXynh_G2VASASNrWR0VQwhh5tXS0U8EbyL9WKWaipxh0-8AAKS0xb1Vck/s640/photo+2.JPG" width="512" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this neat look, I used my Nestabilities to cut the white and scalloped oval. I then glued the scallop oval onto one half of the gate fold and the white oval on the other half. Just make sure that you are lining them up before the glue dries. The cute bear is cut at 3.5" from Cricut's Create A Critter 2 cartridge. The stamped saying is from Lots Of Pun set available at <a href="http://joyslife.com/">JoysLife.com</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to Joy's Life's 3D Animals & Card Folds Blog Hop! We thought we'd combine two of our favorite things into one hop...animals and paper crafting!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="font-size: large;">If you came over from <a href="http://thoughtsoftraveling.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Megan</a>
then you are in the right place. If you happened to stumble across
this post and want to start hopping from the beginning, you can do so <a href="http://joyslife.com/">here</a>. </span></span>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span><span style="font-size: large;">This time around, I fired up my Cameo. (I think it's been awhile because I temporarily forgot how to connect to the computer! LOL!) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to make this 3D Owl Treat Box. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">None of the papers I had really clicked so I decided to use Washi tape on him. I also embossed the die cut to give it some texture. This pattern had buttons you could cut from paper but I used real buttons. Didn't realize the ribbon would look like a cowlick but I like it! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The stamp I used is from Joy's Wildlife Puns set. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><u>*** Now how about some neat Blog Candy?? ***</u></span><br /><br /> </span><span style="font-size: large;">I found these SUPER cute buttons at Michaels. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I picked up a set for me and a second set to share with a lucky hopper! There are, believe it or not, 42 buttons of different sizes in each container. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can't tell from the pic but the lid is a button, also! </span></div>
