Well, Dog-gone it!

Hi, Joy's Life friends. Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I hope you are enjoying the last weekend in August. Summer's almost over, dog-gone it, anyway!

We've "gone to the dogs" this week with the Joy's Life design team.

My husband and I are deliberating whether or not to add another dog to our house, so this card seems most appropriate right now:

 

 

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out this fun card, and the Joy's Life Stamp set, Punny Animals. There are so dog-gone many cute sentiments included with this set!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope it's a dog-gone good one for you.





Had a ruff day?

Hello crafters!
It's Lori with got2bcrafting.

Happy Wednesday to you all!!

This week the DT has "Gone to the Dogs"!!  Not in the literal sense, we are just celebrating National Dog Day!  :)

So here is my card in honor of our furry little friends:

The sentiment I used is from the "You're So Punny" stamp set:

This was such a quick and easy card to make.... I just love when that happens, don't you???  :)

A Pirate's Birthday!

Aye Matey, time to celebrate!

Hi All, Maria here from Five Simple Things,

sharing a CAS birthday card!

How adorable is that pirate? 

When I saw the free cart, Pirates & Mermaids, 

offered the other week in the Cricut Craft Room, 

I just had to cut him!

...and, of course, Joy's Life had the 

perfect senitment stamp to compliment him!

What's Canoe With You?

Hi guys!

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner

here to show you a fun little card using those fabulous

 Joy's Life Stamps!

This week the design team is showing you projects that celebrate an outdoor theme.

For my card, I cut my little bear in the canoe out with my Silhouette. I adhered him close to the top of the card so that he hung off a little to give my card more depth. 

I stamped my sentiment using a greeting from the Wild Life Puns stamp set.

Look at all the cute sayings on this stamp set:

One last wade in the creek

Summer is drawing to its end. 

But, there is still sometime to enjoy nature

and the wild life around and in the lovely waterways.

To celebrate, I chose to use this Quack Me Up sentiment from Joy's Life: Punny Animals.

There are 18 punny animal sentiments.

Bound to tickle your friend's funny bone!

I used Micro Glue Dots © to get the fine shapes glued down.

Pop Up Glue Dots © are good for the dimension on that duck's wing!

Thanks for dropping by!

Down By The Creek Bank Frog Card

Hi, all!  It's Patty here from The Crafty Kitten.

 Joy came up with the super cute theme this week....Down By The Creek Bank.  I remember as a kid catching nightcrawlers with my dad and finding salamanders in the window wells.  Yes, I was a tomboy.  

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.

Lot's Of Pun was the first stamp set that I bought from Joy! You can get yours here.

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! 

Thanks for coming along with me on a trip down memory lane!  I hope you'll drop by my blog and share one of your favorite memories with me.

That bites - Silhouette card

Hello everyone, it's Lori with

got2bcrafting!

It's been a very "Sweet" week here at the Joy's Life Design Team Blog. I hope you have enjoyed the yummy projects so far.

I think one of summer's greatest sweet treats is a popsicle, so that was the inspiration for my card:

When I saw this cut file, I knew exactly which of Joy's stamps I should use:

Isn't that perfect??

This stamp is from the Sweet Popsicle Puns stamp set, which can be found at the Joy's Life products page here.

A Little Something Yummy - Food gifts

"a little something Yummy"

Hello, Maria here from Five Simple Things,

sharing a fun gift set idea for the season.

It's zucchini season in our neck of the woods,

which means baking zucchini bread!

A lot of it!

We enjoy sharing it with family and friends

and they very much enjoy eating it!!

So this year my daughter & I decided to

make little cutting board gift sets 

to share these fun mini-sized loaves.

Joy's Life sentiment

"a little something Yummy"

from the Tag You're It-Set One

stamp set was perfect 

for our faux-chalkboard tags!

Thank you for stopping by

the team blog today!

Hey Sugar

Happy Sunday Crafty Friends!!

We hope you are having a wonderful day!!

Kendra here from Luv 2 Scrap N' Make Cards!

This week we are featuring Sweets!
We are making projects this week that are junky and/or yummy!

One of the sweet ladies that works for me loves chocolate cookies (she's always buying cookies to share) and the kids recently found a recipe for some chocolate M&M cookies that they have been wanting to make, so I thought I would make them!

With the theme in mind we had a fun time making our delicious cookies!

I then created this fun little packaging to give my employee, so she could enjoy some as well!

She loved it!

I just love making fun packaging like this!!  Even more fun with fun sentiments like this!

A look at the entire That Tastes Punny set:

I've included the yummy recipe for these delicious cookies!!

Crayon Candy Container

Hi guys!

Happy Saturday!

Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner
and today I get to show you another project using those awesome

Joy's Life Stamps!

This week is all about going Back To School!

I decided to make a little gift to give to someone special on their first day of school.

I found this cute little acrylic pencil/crayon shaped container and filled it with some candy. 

Here is a view from the back so you can see the container better:

This sentiment from the My Hero stamp set 

is the perfect way to wish someone a great first day!

Here is a look at all the great sayings on the My Hero stamp set:

Lunch Notes

I had so much fun creating a pile of lunch notes for my kids yesterday! Over the next month, schools are calling classes to order. I enjoy tucking notes and cards into my kids' lunches from time to time.

With the many sentiments from Joy's Life, you can make their day a little brighter!

I also thought it might be fun to use up my dwindling stash of stickers.  Yes, Stickers.  Gasp. I know...evil stickers! lol. But...I think you will really like how these turned out!

I picked these darling hoot owls from Colorbok over a year ago.

Perfect for school stuff...or to decorate the keyboard area of my laptop!

LOL

I made 3 of each...with slight variation...as I have 3 kids!

It was so fun to use paper from a memo pad to create this 

cheerful note! Simple adhere it together using Ultra Thin Glue Dots ®.

This one is extra special b/c I only had stickers enough for one card.

I guess I *DO* need to add to my sticker collection!

Every kid has a sweet tooth...right?

And, I don't think they will mind being called "Sugar"

 if there was a piece of candy tucked in with this note!

Inspire that student of yours...

All of these note cards measure 3.5 x 2.5 when finished.  Simply cut your paper: 5 x 3.5 inches...and fold in half!  Dig through your stash of stickers...add your favorite embellies.

Top it all off with sensational sentiments from Joy's Life.

Here I have used words from:

My Hero

Punny Animals

That Tastes Punny

Back to school treat box

Hello Joy's Life fans! Megan here with a back to school project! I thought this would be fun to put in a lunch box filled with treats or fruit snacks or whatever. I used several stamps because I thought my daughter would get a kick out of the puns.

I used four sayings from the Punny Animals stamp set.
