Chalkboard Stand

Hi Everyone!

My girls love it when their sister Natalie bakes them yummy treats. I thought it would be fun for Natalie to have a chalkboard where she can write what she's going to bake for everyone and display it on the kitchen counter. This was another project I wanted to make when I designed the AccuCut Locker Album die. I think it so fun to see restaurants write their " today's special" on the chalkboard and now you can create your own for your kitchen. The Chalkboard Stack from DCWV was perfect for this project. I instantly fell in love with this paper stack when I first seen it. The new BazzillBasicsPaper's Vintage Marketplace is so pretty and went perfect too. I just love how ThePiecebyPiece trims coordinate so well with this collection. My girls can't wait for Natalie to write down her first treat she's going to bake for them.

Shadow Box Cards

I just LOVE the Sitting Cute and Sitting Lovely stamp sets by The Greeting Farm. Both stamp sets are so adorable. After creating a card for my husband with the Sitting Casual stamp set, I couldn't stop and had to make more. heehee I thought it would cute to use other Greeting Farm stamps on the adorable chair, sofa and bench. There were several stamps where Miss Anya and Cheeky Cherry were sitting and just was perfect. These stamps will also be perfect with my latest AccuCut Custom Shape Pros Custom Vintage Sofa die that I designed and can't wait to get it. One of my favorite dies from AccuCut Craft are my Shadow Box Portrait and Landscape Dies that were designed by Vicki Chrisman. Both stamp sets are perfect with these dies. I can't wait to make another one using the Sitting Casual stamp set. These are definitely fun to make.

From the Man Cave Step Card

I just adore the Greeting Farm Sitting Casual stamp set and had to create a card for my hubby. I wanted my card to have a wooden floor with a rug and a wall with a picture frame. I thought it would be perfect to create a step card. It was really super fun to create and I love how it turned out. For the wooden floor, I used the design paper from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody paper pad and added a fabric blue rosette flower from Frog Feathers Etsy store. I then stamped the chair onto the Glitz French Kiss design paper and stamped his shirt and shoes on the MME Howdy Doody design paper as well. I wanted Ian's jeans to look like an actual pair of jeans, therefore I stamped the image onto a pair of jeans my daughter no longer wears. I colored both his hair and skin using my Copic markers. For the back wall I created a frame using my Spellbinders Labels Three die and stamped the sentiment "From the Man Cave" onto some design paper and punched it out using my Stampin Up! Curly Label Punch. On the corner I added I Am Roses gorgeous Mini Blue Roses, Small White Gardenia and Blue Cherry Blossoms. I will definitely create more projects with this stamp set. Its just too adorable.
