My Piggy Fam

Ok here is all the piggy's I made for the swap I was in. There is 12 little pigs here and you can see his tail. I didn't have any pink wire so I used red. His tail is sunburned. LOL

Hope you enjoy, my other post here. You will have to re size them, or they are way to big to fit in our envelopes. Here is the pattern.

These are so much fun to make and so easy. The lady that did the swap Lori, had a contest for the most unique pattern and I won! WooHoo! Can't wait to see my prize.

Hope everyone is have a wonderful day. It is really hot here in Central Minnesota, so we are going to the river to swim. Ok home to finish, we just got out to the river got in and it started to lightning out so we had to get out and come home. At least we was in long enough to cool off. Got home and the winds started to pick up and rain. My police scanner said a tornado touched down in a town near us but think it went down and right back up cause we was watching the rotation. It went down and right back up. Anyway things have settled down in my area now so I am back on and finishing getting this out.

Supplies used:

Pretty in Pink Card Stock

Pretty in Pink, Ink

Sponge

Red wire 18 gauge

Plaid Flannel background stamp

White Gel Pen

Black Marker

Pretty in Pink Marker

Crystal Effects

Directions are pretty much self explanatory.

If you have questions just as and leave an email and I will get back to you.

I Scream You Scream... We all Scream for Ice Cream

I bet you all thought I forgot about my blog and you my readers. I didn't I have been sick. Sinus headaches and just plain feeling blah!

I completed my swap with the little piggies so am going to share them with you this week. But for today I have the Ice Cream Cone card. I had seen these made and thought they was really neat. I made this card for my VC partner. I hope she enjoys it. Sounds like she loves chocolate as much as I do.

I found the choc. saying stamp at Joanne's Fabric in the dollar bin. Thought it went well with this card. Otherwise everything else is SU card stock. If you click on the Ice Cream Cone you can see that I used my fiskars trimmer with the scoring blade to make the cross hatches for the cone. I did every 1/2 inch. Makes the cone look more realistic. On the choc. chip card stock I used Crystal Effects to give it the glossy Ice Cream look.

Hope you enjoy today's project.

Now all you need is red, white and blue, plates and napkins and your set to go. Of course you can't forget the fireworks! Directions for the lanterns are here. Don't forget to get the kids involved in these projects they are easy enough for them to do too.

Bringing in the 4th of July

Red, White and Blue! We are all getting ready to Celebrate the 4th of July. Bring it in with a bang with these Red, White and Blue Stars! I was surfing the net and found these. What a cute way to decorate for the holiday. You can find directions for this at the Martha Stewart Website. These would go great with the Pinwheels I shared not long ago. Wouldn't these stars be awesome across a deck? Then have your pinwheels on a basket on the table.
Hope you enjoy and I have sparked some holiday interest.

Piggy Pattern

Sorry been busy working on swaps and forgot to post the pattern. Here is the link to the Piggy, this is such a cute pattern. Please give credit for this to Sara Sandberg. She is the one who created this pattern and was nice enough to let me use it for a swap. She has more patterns too, so check out the rest of her blog here.
I will be sharing another piggy when they are completed that I am doing for the swap. On the ones I am working on I am using pop dots to pop his head so it looks more 3D and also his snout will be pop dotted. I am doing them in a brighter color.
In the meantime check out Sara's place and enjoy her patterns.
Note: You will need to make the pattern smaller to work with our regular card envelopes 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. From what I am told you reduce it with your printer program 20%. I just had someone do it for me I cheated.

Here Piggy, Piggy......

Sorry I haven't posted much, I have been sick. They changed some of my medication and I am not doing well with the change. I wasn't doing well without the change either so had to do something. Anyway, trying to give these new meds a chance to work. Cross your fingers that they will work out and I don't have to go through this again.

I am in a Shaped Swap and I found this pattern on the net and fell in love with him. If my hands can hold out I will be making 12 of these little piggies! My aunt and uncle used to be pig farmers so this was the ideal card. One will also go to my aunt who is in assisted living.

I had to adjust the pattern to this template as it was to large to fit in a A4 envelope which is the size of our normal cards. So I will share that with you later. In the meantime I hope you enjoy my piggy.

Supplies needed:

Flannel Background Stamp

Versamark

Blush Blossom Card stock

Blush Blossom and Black Marker

White Gel Pen

Mono Adhesive

Sponge

Directions:

I cut out my pattern and traced onto card stock and cut all pieces out. With Versamark I stamped each piece with the Flannel background stamp. With the Blush Blossom Marker I made his nose holes. And I sponges around each edge of all the pieces so it showed some dimension. Used black marker for his eyes and then added a dash of white gel pen for his eyes to make them glisten. Add the snout to the face and then add face to the body. This card opens up and the head kind of goes back when open. I think it turned out kind of cute for a first try.

Hope you enjoy.
