When I first looked through the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog, I wasn’t going to get the Cheerful Critters stamp set. But the more that I saw it, the more that I loved these goofy little critters holding up their signs! This set arrived in one of my (many!!) recent orders and I’ve been waiting for the perfect sketch to use it…I think that I found just that sketch today!

I used the Sketched Birthday stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create a quick birthday card for the Stamping and Blogging SB78 Sketch today.

CAS Banner Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

Cupcake Party Fry Boxes – Stampin’ Up!
I got the new Fry Box Bigz L Die from Stampin’ Up! a few days ago so I thought that it was time to pull it out and play a little. I love the way that these little treat holders turned out and they are so easy to make!

June Paper Pumpkin from Stampin’ Up!…Pinwheel Party!!
I got the June Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up! a few days ago but just finally had a few minutes to put everything together to share with you today. This months kit was pinwheels and it was a box full of them! The kit contained 3 stamps, an ink spot, 24 precut pinwheels, 24 paper straws, 20 banners, 24 cellophane bags, some Basic Gray Baker’s Twine, 24 silver brads, 24 silver clips and 96 glue dots…there was a lot packed into that little box. 🙂
Here are the projects that I made with them. The first project was a wreath, I’d seen several of these on Pinterest so I thought that I’d give it a try.
