25 years and a Lifetime

Morning!

Is everyone ready for a nice long Memorial weekend?! I know I certainly am...My sister-in-law recently celebrated her 25 year wedding anniversary. It was perfect that Sister Stamps came out the Wedding couple image just in time for me to use =P I went happy with Washi paper and cherry blossoms on this gift I made them. It's pretty much a desk photo stand made from coasters =D

 First photo up is the front of the photo stand laying flat. The washi paper are from Hanko Designs I picked up awhile ago at the Stamp in A Hand show. He has the best washi selection and their made from Japan =) The heart shape block is from TGF - Film Die cut. The letters and numbers are from ATS - mini Alphabet & numbers die.

Up next is the inside of the photo stand. I used the Wedding Couple stamp and embellished with cherry blossom stickers. The red washi design at the spine of the photo stand is actually fabric tape. Cool huh? I got it at the Daiso store (They got some neat crafty goodies there for cheap!) I had a postage spellbinder which I cut out and written "Insert Photo Here" and distressed it with red ink on the left. 

Next is the back of the stand. I finished it off with the cherry blossom stickers to accent with the white washi paper I have in the background.  I used the washi tape on both sides of the stand in order to cover up the gap it needs to fold nice and snug.

Here is the inside again laid flat =D

Had a lot of fun making this for my sis-in-law. Hope you like my share as much as I enjoyed making it!

Hats off to You!

Hello!!

It's graduation time everywhere!! My husband's niece graduated college and we celebrated this past weekend for her BIG MILESTONE! I was looking for inspiration and came across this awesome card by Jenny from Sister Stamps using Kiyomi. Loved the idea and layout so much...that I cased it with a lil personalization of my own. The school colors are red and black so went with that scheme on my card. The sentiment and background stamps are from Heidi Swapp I have picked up from Michael's. The alphabet die cuts are from ATS. I had a buddy help me do the heart dotted lines by stenciling a small heart shape I had. The graduation hat is a sticker pack I bought from Michael's as well and used red twine to replace the gold tassel it came with.

Here is a closer look at Kiyomi =D

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice remainder of the week!

March Wishes

Morning!

It's been awhile since I have used a SOG stamp. Glad I am able to finally use what I bought long ago...LOL I used the Celebration Mae set here. The heart banner is from LaLa Land Crafts. The "Bday" is from CC Designs mini Alphabet & Numbers die. Haven't had much time to craft but will try to keep up where I can!
