Mouse Cookie Valentine Card

Hello everybody!

I hope that you are all enjoying a 

pleasant Tuesday!

Today I want to share this adorable

little card that I made using

Fresh Brewed Designs

Mouse Cookie

If you give a mouse a cookie, 

he will melt your heart!

I adore mouse images!

I think I mentioned before that I'm not a huge

fan of the real mice though!

I'm petrified that one will crawl up my leg!  EEEEK!

Recipe

I colored in this adorable mouse with my copic markers

The cardstock is Stampin Up

Did you notice that I didn't use any design paper?

Yay Me!  Hee Hee!

The sentiment stamps are from Whimsy Stamps

The die cut doily and heart are from Cheery Lynn

The small heart embossing is done with the

 Stampin Up embossing folder

The large glitter heart and small glitter hearts are

punched out with my Stampin Up heart punches.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

Lets make a Cutie Pie Box or Purse!

Hello, my lovely and crafty friends!

I made a really cute little box

that I want to share with all of you!

Or if you like, it can be a purse!

It's really roomy inside!

It measures 4 1/2" x 4" and it's 3/4" wide

Here is a picture showing it holding 

six lip balms!

To make the box I started with a piece of 

pink cardstock  that measures

6" x 10 3/4"

I scored it at 

1 1/4" - 2" - 6" - 6 3/4"

from the top to the bottom

Then I turned it 

and scored it at

3/4" - 5 1/4" 

from the top to the bottom

Then I cut out the first two squares

on both the left and the right side.

I cut slits up the sides of both middle squares

as you can see in the picture above.

Fold on all of the creases and use sticky tape to 

make your box.

Then the fun part is decorating it!

I used 

Fresh Brewed Designs

Cutie Pie in Clouds rubber stamp!

She is going to be on sale for a 

steal of a price 

$3.95

as Fresh Brewed Designs

Brew of the month

on 

February 6th!

She will only be on sale at this very low

price for the one day on 

February 6th, 

so mark your calendars!

Isn't she adorable?

I know so many little girls 

who would love this little 

purse that I made with

Cutie Pie in clouds!

You can add a pocket on the back for a 

gift card or sentiment tag too!

If my cards or projects inspire you to place a Fresh Brewed Designs order

I would really appreciate you using

 my code Sfbd3 in the comment section

along with my name, Sheryl,  when placing your order 

Thank you so much!  :-)

Hot Chocolate Holder pocket Card

Hello, my lovely and talented friends!

I made a cute 

Hot Chocolate holder Pocket Card

that I would like to share with you today!

I used

Fresh Brewed Designs

Angel Cake Chilly Day

I colored little Angel cake with my copic markers 

and paper pieced her little outfit.

I started with a piece of 11"x 6 1/2" card stock

Then I scored it at

4", 4 1/2" and 8 1/2"

You will need 2 

3 3/4" x 6 1/4" card stock

topped with

3 1/2" x 6" designer paper

You will need 2

2 1/4" x 6 1/4" card stock

topped with

2" x 6" designer paper

you will need a 3 3/4" x 4"

card stock for the inside pocket

You will need a 3 3/4" x 3" piece of 

designer paper for the top of the pocket.

I used my Martha Stewart snowflake punch along the edge.

Then I punched a separate piece of pink card stock to adhere 

along the bottom after I sewed the pocket on.

This is what the back looks like.

As you can see, I tucked the ribbon 

underneath the panels before adhering them on.

I added a 6 1/2" x 4" panel of blue card stock to the back.

This is what the inside looks like with the 

hot chocolate packet in the pocket.

And the front after it is decorated with

my pretty

Fresh Brewed Designs

Angel Cake Chilly Day

digi stamp

and 

MFT die-namics snowflakes

along with some pink bling!

The corner embellishment and rose are

from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Sweet Valentine Treat!

Hello!

I am still having fun making 

Valentine treats for children!

Here is an adorable treat that will 

hold a mini bag of M&M's 

or two mini chocolate bars.

This adorable digi is

Fresh Brewed Designs

Turtle Love

This is such a sweet image for both girls and boys.

Start with a piece of card stock that measures

10 1/4" x 4 1/4"

Score at 

4 1/4" - 5 " - 9 1/4" 

I used my Stampin Up pinking heart border punch for the white paper

used along the top flap.

1 1/2" circle punch to punch out the sentiment

1 3/4" scallop punch with red glitter paper for under circle sentiment

I used Stampin Up small heart punch with red glitter paper

I punched a 1" x 4 1/4" strip for the top flap 

with my Stampin Up pinking heart border punch.

4" x 4" square of white paper for base of front panel.

I colored the adorable Turtle with my copic markers.

Then I cut it out to measure 

2 1/2" x 2 1/4"

I cut a 

2 3/4" x 2 1/2" piece of red cardstock to frame it on.

I punched out my sentiment with my

1 1/2" circle punch

Then I adhered it to the 1 3/4" red glitter scallop punch.

I also added a couple of red glitter small hearts

I used dimensionals to adhere two chocolate candy bars inside.

Then I used another dimension inside the top flap to seal it up.

I cut a 3" x 3" square of white card stock for the back

I added some more red glitter hearts.

However, if you are making these 

Valentine Treats with your child,

they can add Valentine Stickers 

and write their friends names on the back

themselves.

A red satin bow makes the perfect finishing touch!

I hope that you get a chance to make these

adorable treats!

Please feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy

to answer them!

My first sewn card!

Hello, to all of my talented and lovely blogger friends!

Today is Wednesday!

Time for a brand new challenge at

Freshly Brewed Challenges!

Our theme this week is

Buttons and Bows!

I'm very excited about sharing my card with you

because it's the very first card that I have sewn with my

sewing machine!

I made it a while ago for this particular challenge 

and I have actually 

posted some new stitched cards since I made this one.

However, this is my first sewn card.

This card is similar to a JOY FOLD

I used my fabulous

Fresh Brewed Designs

COFFEE TAKE ME AWAY stamp!

She is colored with copic markers and paper pieced.

This is a picture of the inside of the first flap.

This is the inside of the card when it is completely open.

In my mind when I was making it,

 (A long while ago) 

I was thinking that you could

 add pictures

to the inside of both sides for a nice keepsake.

Now when I look at it,

 I'm thinking it would have been 

nice if I added some pockets for gift cards, 

tags or pictures.

NEXT TIME!

Recipe

Fresh Brewed Designs, Coffee Take Me Away, rubber stamp

Stampin Up cardstock

The really gorgeous and yummy paper is 

DCWV French Country Stack

The pretty Die Cut is

Marianne Design Creatables Broderie Anglais Border

The leaves for my flowers were made with my

Cheery Lynn Designs Flourish

The buttons, twine and ribbon are all Stampin Up

The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts

Now I hope that you pop on over to 

Freshly Brewed Challenges 

to see all of the wonderful inspiration 

that my very lovely and talented Design Team mates 

whipped up for you!

Then TOMORROW 

is our very special 

Valentine Blog Hop!

I can hardly wait to see the fabulous new 

Valentine Digi images that

Heather has created!

Heather assigns each of us on the Design Team

 a special new digi

to work with,

 so we don't get to see all of them 

until we actually participate in the Blog Hop!

Valentine Lolly Pop Treat!

Hello!

I have another fun and very simple 

Valentine Treat 

to show you!

I love to make these adorable

Lolly Pop Treats 

for the children in 

my preschool.

I used 

Fresh Brewed Designs

So Sweet Valentine Digi

I colored her with my copic markers.

Then I punched her out with my Stampin Up 

2 3/8" scallop punch.

Start with a piece of 3" X  6 1/2" card stock

Score it at 3" and at 3 1/2"

Then fold it on the score lines and use a hole punch in 

the center.  My hole punch isn't "long" enough to reach

the center of the card, so I have to fold one of the score lines

and use my punch that way.  I will cover the second hole with

my back piece.

Here is a picture of the supplies that I used.

I used Stampin Up Pinking Hearts border punch

and their small heart punch

This shows the front of my Lolly Pop treat!

As you can see, I still need to cover the punched hole in the back.

This is what my finished "back" looks like.

I like to have a nice space to write the child's name.

Pop your Lolly Pop inside the hole and add

a dimensional to keep it closed.

The finished front with a little bling added!

And one more look at the back!

I hope that these pictures were easy to 

understand. 

Heather has so many adorable Valentine images at

Fresh Brewed Designs

that are so sweet and very easy to color, up quickly, 

for these adorable little Lolly Pop treats!

 Please leave me a message if you 

have any questions!
