Action Wobble - Camel

It's my last time hosting at Little Red Wagon this year. All through 2024, I've used Def Leppard hits to inspire the challenge themes. This time, it's "Action" and I'm challenging all to create something with action, When there is literal action/movement on your creation or you've used a picture/image of something that is known for action (e.g., a vehicle, Santa's sleigh, an animal, etc.), I'd love for you to link up!

My sister's birthday is today and I've made this birthday card for her. I call her "Kami" which is actually a nickname based on "camel". I call her this as I often end up asking her to hold my bags and things when we're out and about so I can snap photos, grab a snack, etc. Then, due to being easily distracted, I move along without taking my things back. Kami then asks if I think she's my camel, carrying all my things. Anyway, I try to give her camel-related cards and gifts and this year is no exception. The paper-pieced camel is on an Action Wobble - a supply that has seen no action in my craft room for ages!

I filmed this short video showing the wobbling camel in action. The music playing is Def Leppard's Action! 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the "Action" projects - and then link up one of your own!

Feel Better Soon

Hello friends!  I'm so delighted to be sharing a card at My Craft Spot today - and am sharing it with you here as well.

Unfortunately, a friend of mine was recently quite ill so I made this card to brighten her day.  I used g.c.d. studios papers and inked everything with some Tim Holtz Tattered Rose distress ink, adding some faux stitching with a white Gelly Roll pen.  The Bandaid was cut from Indie Art and the border was cut with a Fiskars punch.

The little sentiment is from the My Craft Spot Tiny Tags stamp set and I used the My Craft Spot Tiny Tags metal dies for the tag layers.  I finished things off with some Cherry Divine baker's twine from My Craft Spot and a couple of sweet little buttons from Calico Cottage Crafts.

I used an Action Wobble to attach the Bandaid to the card!

Thanks so much for visiting!  Don't forget that next week is the My Craft Spot Christmas/Winter stamp (and metal dies!) release party.  There will be lots of wonderful projects posted, prizes up for grabs each day - and a fun blog hop to finish things off!  I'll be back on Monday with my sneak peaks.

Cute Little Christmas Card

Hello Friends!  Today is my day to share a project at My Craft Spot!  As this  week's challenge at My Craft Spot is Christmas in July, I thought I'd give you a bit more inspiration as you get a head start on your Christmas projects!

I have to say that I got my inspiration from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.  She's on a bit of a Hello Kitty kick right now and her projects are so adorable! Be sure to check them out!  It's great to see the different cuts she has been using and find some inspiration.  I've had my Hello Kitty cartridge for a couple of years now and have only used it a handful of times so decided it was time to play with it again.

I used Hello Kitty Greetings to cut the little image and attached it with an Action Wobble.  The card sentiment and little tree stamp on the tag are both from My Craft Spot's 'Tis the Season stamp set.  The little tags were cut using My Craft Spot's new Tiny Tags Metal Dies.  I just LOVE these dies!  Although they are made to coordinate with the Tiny Tags stamp sets, you can use them with other stamps or cuts as well - just like I did!  I used some fun Holly Berry baker's twine to attach the layered tag to my card.  I also did some faux stitching around the card and rounded the bottom corners as well. 

There is still time to play in this week's Christmas in July challenge.  Click HERE for details!  I'm also going to enter this card at Little Scrap Pieces where Karen has a Christmas in July challenge going on as well.

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Party - Day Two

Hello from Lucerne, Switzerland!  My husband and I are continuing our 20th anniversary holiday and all posts are pre-scheduled this week.  

It's Day Two of the My Craft Spot stamp release party!!  Today's set is another must have.  You'll understand when you see all the sentiments in Saturday's reveal.

I made these cards for my youngest son's teachers.  For the past few months, I've been so busy with work and finishing my M.Ed. that I haven't had much time to play with my new toys!  I finally used Wild Card 2 for this fun apple.  As soon as I saw the apple cut, I knew I had to buy this cartridge to make my son's end-of-year cards.  I attached each of the apples with an Action Wobble - something else I've had for ages but have never used.  I just had too much fun watching the apples dance around on the cards!!

The sentiments are from today's My Craft Spot release.  I love the all-caps on this particular sentiment.  It suits the card perfectly!  I finished things off with some Cherry Red baker's twine - from My Craft Spot.  

Head over to My Craft Spot to see what the rest of the design team has made with today's new release.  And don't forget to leave a comment for Kimberly for today's prize - some gorgeous crinkle ribbon!  Remember that we're having a My Craft Spot blog hop on Saturday - and EACH design team member will be giving away one of the new releases (courtesy of Kimberly)!!   

Come back tomorrow for another peek at a new stamp set!
