Cookie Monster is a Muppet on the long-running show Sesame Street. He is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases, such as "Me want cookie!" "Me eat cookie!" and "Om nom nom nom" (said through a mouth full of food). He often eats just about anything, including ice cream, hot dogs, cake, pizza, doughnuts, lettuce, apples, bananas, watermelon, as well as normally inedible objects. However, as his name suggests, his preferred food is cookies. Chocolate Chip Cookies are his favorite kind; oatmeal cookies are his second favorite. I really enjoyed making this card today.

Here is a list of what you will need to make this card.

1. Cricut Explore  2. Inkscape program   3. Jewels

4. Scissors  5. Paper Cutter  6. Mono Multi glue

7. Washi tape  8. Ribbon  9. Google images of cookies

Hostess Cupcake Day

Cupcake Tag

Hostess Cupcake Day

Hostess Cupcakes are my favorite cupcakes. I was so excited to do this project. Hostess Cupcakes are second only to Twinkies. Because they are so good, it is only right that they have their own day. The cupcakes have a hard chocolate on top with hard icing that tops it off. It's chocolate cake is amazing too, The best part is the creamy dreamy filling inside. I usually pull off everything and eat it and save the dreamy creamy surprise for last. That is the reason why they have there own day.

I thought that I would get a few Cupcakes as I make this tag. I did get a few of the other brands, but Hostess is the top one of them all. 

Today I will be making a tag. I will be using the 

Chipboard from Infinity Engraving for my cupcakes. 

 

This is a list of what you will need to make the tag.

1. Cupcake chip board ( Infinity Engraving ) 

2. Paper of your choice  3. Doily 

 4. a piece of thin cardboard ( I took mine from the back of one of my paper packs) 5. twine 6. Paper cutter  7. scissors

8. Two kinds of ribbon  9. Mod Podge  10. Stickles 

11. Gesso  12. Paint colors you chose 13. paint brushes

14. flower jewels 

 

You will first get your chipboards and paint them with Gesso. You do that so that it seals the chipboard.

Next you will paint the chipboard the colors we chose. When it is dry, use the stickles where you want it. 

Then you will Mod Podge the cardboard to the paper. Let it dry for   min. and Mod Podge the doily to the paper. Then brush a layer of Mod Podge over the top of whole tag. Next you will Mod Podge the chipboard cupcakes to the tag.Punch a hole at the top and add is some bribon to the top of the tag. Last you will glue some bling on the tag so it will sparkle. 

I very much had fun making this tag. And eating a lot of Hostess cupcakes. Thank you for stopping by, be sure to read some of the other posts.  You can get the cupcake and any other ones you like at ......   http://ie-studio-creations.com/.../c1/Featured_Products.html

Today is hug your cat day. I love my cats very much. But my favorite is Toby the Tiger. Toby was a cat that was abandoned by his mom. A friend of mine who is a vet tech was called out to rescue him and his 3 other siblings. She bought him to me because she knew i wanted another cat. she said he was special, and boy was he. He has 7 toes on his front feet and one extra claw on his back feet. I saw them and knew his name should be Toby the Tiger. He started out fitting in my hand, but now he is 25 lbs. and 15 inches tall, the size of a small dog. He is such a love bug. When I decided to do this project, I thought of Toby and how can I make something about my cat. Toby loves to be held and hugged a lot. Because today is Hug your cat day I had to make a tag for him.

This is the supplies you will need.

1. Chip board (Infinity Engraving)

5. Cardboard (back of paper packs)

6. Paints   7. Stickles (2 colors)

8. Ribbon ( 3 different colors)

9. Papers of your choice 10. doily 

I first painted the chipboard. Then let it dry added the stickles to the Big letter C and to the edges of the heart. 

I then cut out my cardboard to the size I wanted 4 1/2 "x10". Then the solid lavender paper the same size. The flower paper was cut to make a border around the edges was a 1/4 " border. I then Mod Podge the lavender paper to the cardboard and the flower border. I then Mod Podge the doily down. Then let it dry for 10 min. and did another layer of Mod Podge, let it dry for 15 min. more min. Glued down down the chipboard saying and the picture of myself with my cat using the Mod Podge. Put one more layer of Mod Podge over it all. Let it dry and glued down the flower, and punched a hole in the top and added the ribbon to the top. You can get the Chipboard from Infinity Engraving.

April Showers bring May Flowers

Card

April Showers Bring May Flowers

April Showers bring May flowers, never really gave that saying much thought. As I was making this card I thought about that saying a lot. What does that mean? Why would people think to say that? Well it's simple it rains and flowers bloom. I love flowers, I have a rose garden in my yard that lines my grass. They are blooming right now and are so beautiful. At the beginning of the month my cherry and plum tree had there pretty blossoms on them. The trees now have fruit growing. So now when April comes next year I will appreciate the saying much more. 

This is the supplies you will need to make this card

1. Stamp (Stamps of life) and some I had  2. Dies (Stamps of life)

3. Ink Thistle, Lagoon, Black (Close to my heart)

4. Scissors  5. Glue (Tombow Mono) 

6. Paper color choice  7. 3D Foam squares

8. Paper cutter  

You will first pick out your papers. Then die cut you umbrella, boots, and anything else you need. I cut out several colors as I was not sure what color I was going to use.

Next you will cut your paper for the layering. Cut your first piece 1/4 inch smaller then the card base, then the next layer 1/4 inch smaller. then stamp your dies cuts and the top layer paper. Making a puddle, and rain drops. Then stamp your sentiment and cut into a cloud shape. Put the 3D foam squares on the back of your images. 

You then add the cloud stickers and put all the dies where you would like them and glue them down. With the boot I put one directly on the paper and the one in front, I used the 3D squares on it. I did that so it looks like it is closer. This was a fun and easy card to make. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog.

  

Gift Tag For Baby Boy

Gift Tag For Baby Boy

Tag

I love making tags, they are fun to make, and pretty easy. This tag I made for someone who had a baby boy. I needed a gift tag for the gift and thought of the Julie Nutting stamps I have. Usually I will cut cardstock paper for my tag. This time I had the chipboard tag I got from Infinity Engraving, and wanted to us that for my tag. You can also get the stamps from Infinity Engraving to.

This is a list of what you will need to make this project.

1. Scissors  2. Ink  3. Block for Stamp

 5. Boy set stamp ( Julie Nutting ) from Infinity Engraving

6. Chipboard Tag from Infinity Engraving 

7. Mod Podge  8. Paint brush 9. Multi liquid glue

10. Different kinds of ribbon  11. washi tape

12. several pieces of paper 13. Stamps from Close to my heart

I started by putting Modge Podge on the chipboard to glue down my paper. Placed the paper over the chipboard and pushed out all the bubbles. Let the paper dry for about 1/2 hr. and timed the edges.  

 

 I then stamped the images of the baby and the clothes for the baby on the papers I chose. I then fuussy cut them out and glued them together. 

 

I then stamped the wording at the top of the tag, added the washi tape. 

I glued the baby and added the lace to the bottom over the washi tape. I did a piece of twin at the top of the lace also. Put some sequins to add a little bling. The last thing I did was cut two kinds a ribbon and twin for the top of the tag. This was a easy and fun project to make. The mom to be now has a gift tag that is a keepsake also.
