Craft Room Fun

My second entry into the 2017 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is a thank you card using a beautiful porcelain cup image from Stampendous. Found the Slider card template on Pinterest (dudetimedoodles.blogspot.com/p/slider-card-tutorial.html) Am sending to a friend who collects teacups and is also a beekeeper. A while ago she gave me a pint of the best honey I've ever tasted and this is the perfect way to thank her!

Recently won this sweet Lili of the Valley digi named "Little Mermaid Friends." It works perfectly with Hero Arts "Reef Border and Frame Fancy Die" which I popped up with foam mounting tape. The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Stamps & Cuts Butterfly. You can't see it in the photo, but I painted the mermaids with Twinkling H2Os Shimmering Watercolors which add a wonderful shimmer to the colors.

I've had this wood-mount stamp from Uptown Stamp Company for many years. Paired with a new Cuddlebug embossing folder and silver foil it creates a fresh new feel.

The current Power Poppy Challenge is entitled 12 Days of Christmas. The project for Day 4 is a "Christmas Organizer." After seeing the sample, I decided to make my organizer into a small gift holder for a friends son. His name is Olle, he is 2½ years old and likes finger puppets. So when I found a free printable for Nativity finger puppets on Pinterest, I knew I had to make him a set.   (Here is the link http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/nativity-finger-puppets-free-christmas-printable)
