Sweater Weather {Waffle Flower Crafts}

Hello, hello!

It's Tuesday already, and I am popping in today to share a couple cards using Waffle Flower Craft's adorable On My Mark stamp set and On My Mark die.  I was beginning to think that Winter lost our address in Ohio, but it found us with a vengeance.  It's COLD, and we are doing whatever it takes to stay cozy around here and generally that means sweaters. Not wanting to leave anyone out, I used my ever-growing stash of washi tape, I fashioned some sweaters for the sweet On My Mark doggie and kitty.

My first card was inspired by the "I love you this much" sentiment included in the set.  I stamped and die cut the kitty along with several strips of white card stock at 7/16".  I wrapped the strips of cardstock with washi and adhered them to the card at approximately 1" intervals.

 I left room in the top and bottom row for the kitty face, sentiment and hind legs and tail.  I love that the "sweater showcased some of my very favorite washi tapes- they look so colorful and pretty!

For my second card, I used the doggie stamp and made him a simple sweater using only two types of washi tape.

I gave him some fun birthday accents including a hat made from the tree in A Homemade Christmas stamp set.  The tiny star and ball were made with the Tiny Die Trio.  I am thinking this card will be perfect to send my little nephew on his next birthday.

Well that's it for me today!  Thanks for stopping by and stay warm!

Make a List Notepad {Waffle Flower Crafts}

 Hello friends,

I don't know about you, but I LOVE lists.  I make lists of things to do, things to buy, things to make, you name it.  A couple of weeks ago, I was at a paper supply store and spied a set of four 2.5" x 4" notepads for $0.60.  I couldn't resist.  I decided to cute up my find with a bit of card stock, washi tape, a patterned paper scrap and the On My Mark stamp set and On My Mark die.

I cut a piece of card stock the width of the notepad and added a few score lines to help the card stock fold over the top of the notepad. I trimmed the extra length of cardstock, and I secured the back of the notepad to the card stock cover with Score Tape. 

On the notepad, I stamped the number list included in the On My Mark stamp set with basic black ink.  I thought it would be handy to have my to-dos already numbered. 

To decorate the cover of the notepad, I affixed some washi tape to the top fold and a scrap of patterned paper to the bottom edge.  Then I stamped and die cut the kitty and added "make a list" in black ink. 

I think I am going to cute up a few more of these notepads and give them as little gifts, because who doesn't love lists?!

Thanks for stopping by!
