Merry Christmas

Hello, it's Lori with got2bcrafting!

Happy Saturday. :)

This week the DT was showcasing Christmas projects using Joy's Life "Oh Christmas Puns" and "Wintery Puns" stamp sets.

I LOVE both of these sets A LOT!!

So here is my card:

I used "Wintery Puns" for my sentiment. :)

This is a PNC (print and cut) file from the Silhouette online store.
I just printed the image tho, and did not cut it.  To make it a little more dimensional, I added some liquid applique on the Santa hat, as well as some stickles, then I added liquid glass to the bow, ornaments, and the eyes and nose of the bear.
Added some twine and a button, stamped the sentiment.... and viola, it was done. 

Pretty simple card.

Thanks for stopping by today.
I would love for you to come check out my blog if you can't a chance. :)

Tree-mendous Sets

Joy's Life has some tree-mendously humorous sets to get you started.

This sentiments comes from "Oh Christmas Puns."

Snowflake themed gift box

Hi crafty friends!

Happy Thursday!!

Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner
here to show you another project that uses those awesome
 Joy's Life Stamps.

This week the Joy's Life Design Team is in the Christmas spirit

and showing you some festive Christmas projects.

I decided to make a little gift box.

I filled it with some milk chocolates. I think this will make a super cute little gift for someone. Maybe a neighbor, teacher, mail person, co worker, etc. 

I thought this sentiment from the Oh Christmas Puns stamp set, went perfectly with my glittery snowflake gift box. 

I love all the sayings on the 

Oh Christmas Puns stamp set:

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!!

Kendra here from Luv 2 Scrap N' Make Cards!

This week it is all about Ho Ho Ho!

Can you believe before you know it, it will be Christmas?!?!

With HO HO HO in mind, I thought I would use this adorable Santa freebie I got from Miss Kate Cuttables recently! 

I used the fun HO3 for the sentiment next to this adorable Santa which is from the Oh, Christmas Puns set!! 

And the "Merry Christmas" is from the Wintery Puns set!

Warm Decemberrr Wishes

Hello everyone! Laura here from Laura's Crafts & More...This week the DT is all about Christmas!! Yes it's that time of year again! My card today uses "Warm Decemberrr Wishes" from Wintery Puns. 

I used a Snowflakes embossing folder and added some Star Dust Stickles to make it all sparkly! The branch is a die cut that I inked with Gathered Twigs distress ink and the bird is a "button" from my stash. I also used Distress Stickles for the "snow" on the branch.

Hello, crafty friends! It's time to think Christmas! Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers with today's post.  Our design team theme this week is "Ho, Ho, Ho".  So, it's time to jump into Christmas, and I did with this card -- of Santa, set to jump down the chimney.

The card is a square 5x5. This Santa silhouette is in the Silhouette Online Store.  I found the perfect sentiment for Santa's plunge on the Joy's Life stamp set "Oh Christmas Puns".

Here's a close up of the sentiment, ribbon, and twine.

An Elf Notebook

Hi everyone, Maria here from Five Simple Things.

I have a pre-Christmas project to share today.

I know Christmas is coming when the kids

start emailing me their Christmas lists,

complete with hyper links!

So I created this fun little table

to keep track of clothing sizes, 

store lists & purchases.

"Note to elf..." - Oh Christmas Puns

I used stamps from Joy's

Oh Christmas Puns 

and 

Wintery Puns

stamp sets.

Hello crafters, it's Lori with got2bcrafting!

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend. :)

This week the Joy's Life DT has been showcasing "food based" projects.

I thought I'd have a little fun with this one, so here is what I came up with:

That super cute sentiment is from Joy's "That Tastes Punny" stamp set.

I found the egg, banner and bow shape all in the Silhouette online store.

I created the card base using my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I would love for you to visit my blog. :)

Have a Happy, Crafty Day!

I

Breakfast time!!

In our home, birthdays mean breakfast in bed 

with a small tray present.

So, I thought I'd make a breakfast in bed card!

This set comes from Joy's Life: That Tastes Punny set.

Oh...another family tradition is the red plate tradition.

We have a special set of red plates. A single set.

So if it is your birthday, 

or you had a big accomplishment or award, 

you get to eat off the "red plate!"  

That should make the card  more understandable! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope your day is eggcellent too!

Hi crafty friends!

Happy Thursday!!

Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner
here to show you another project that uses those awesome
 Joy's Life Stamps.

This week the Joy's Life Design Team is showing you

I decided to make a little gift using some chocolate nuggets and a pretzel bag.

I decided to make a cute little tag to hang from the ribbon.

I'm Nuts about YOU!

Hello, crafty friends.  Julie here again from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers posting twice this week. We had an empty day, so I'm filling in.  The design team theme this week is "yum, yum, yum." 

I love to make treat bags and boxes, so I fired up the Silhouette, and made a quick little treat bag, perfect for Fall:

 

 

I used the Joy's Life stamp set "That Tastes Punny" on this treat bag.  I thought it was the perfect sentiment for this die cut acorn.

 

To learn more details about this project, and to see what else I've been working on, please visit my blog.

I hope you enjoyed today's yummy treat bag.  I had a great time making it! 

 

Love You To The Core

Hello everyone! Laura here from Laura's Crafts & More...This week the DT is making projects with a food theme! I was looking through some Fall paper and found this one from Bo Bunny from last year and knew exactly which stamp I wanted to use! And it fit into the food them perfectly!! Yay me! I used "Love You To The Core" from It's All Fall Puns. I love that even though this isn't a "Fall" card I can use these stamps! 

Perfect huh??!! I used some wood tags I found at Hobby Lobby to add some dimension & texture to my card and of course...Stickles!! Mercury Glass, my new favorite color!!

A Veteran's Day Thank You

Happy Monday, Joy's Life fans.  Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.

Today is Veteran's Day, and it's a big day at the nursing home. There are many Veterans where I work.  Fewer and fewer of them are WWII veterans, but there still are quite a few.  They are a generation where defending their country didn't feel like a choice to them, it felt like a duty.  Saying thanks seems like the least we can do for our veterans.  They have given so much for our freedom.

My father is a veteran, and will be at the Veteran's Day Program at the nursing home today.  Sometime during the day, I'm going to slip him this little treat box, just so he knows I love him, and I'm thankful for him.

 

 

I put some of his favorite chocolates in the box.  He'll be happy!

I used the Joy's Life stamp set, "It's All Fall Puns" on the sentiment.

I cut this box out on my Silhouette.  Here's another view of the box:

 

 

If you'd like more details about this treat box, please visit my blog. 

 Don't forget to thank a Veteran today -- and everyday.

Give Thanks for November

 

Happy November, everyone! A month to count our blessings.  Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  I love Fall, with the brilliant colors of the leaves, but it's the season the follows that seems to last waaaaay to long!  This week, the design team is featuring projects using Fall colors. I love the Fall color palette.  They are some of my favorite colors -- I seem to gravitate towards earth tones and blues. I found some Close to My Heart papers that had blues and earth tones in them, a leaf shaped card from The Cutting Café, and got busy cutting it out on my Silhouette:

 

 

The sentiment is from the Joy's Life stamp set, "It's All Fall Puns".  Visit the Joy's Life store to see all the wonderful stamp set -- and the great bundle prices!  A white gel pen to add some faux stitching, and a little crinkle ribbon, and this card is a wrap.  Now, it's time to rake the thousands of leaves in my yard -- if only they were all this pretty!  For more details about this leaf shaped card, and to see other projects I'm working on, please visit my blog.



Autumn Tree card - Just Because

Just Because!

Hi everyone, Maria here from Five Simple Things.

Are you enjoying the beautiful colors of Autumn?

It's my favorite season!

I so enjoy making "just because" cards.

You can send them any time to anyone

and the recipient receives an unexpected 

'smile' in the mail.

How wonderful is that?!

The sentiment is from 

Joy's Life: Tag You're It-set one

stamp set.

Clean, simple and ready

to make someone smile!
