Flashback Friday: Frogs and Flies

Welcome to another Flashback Friday!!  I have a cute set for us to flash back to this week, it's called Frogs and Flies from 1998.



Isn't this set fun!  I especially love the saying "Time's fun when you're having flies"........  too stinkin' cute!  I haven't touched this set in a looonnnngggggg time so I figured it was time to pull it out.



I love putting a modern twist to an older stamp set.  I went for a clean look, not country like the older cards were.  Here's the details:

1.  My card base is Bashful Blue with a layer of Chocolate Chip and DSP.

2.  Stamped the frog on Glossy White card stock with StazOn Black.  Colored it with blender pen and markers.





3.  Stamped the sentiment on Whisper White with StazOn Black and added a banner end with the hexagon punch. 

4.  Adhered the frog to the card with SNAIL and added the greeting with dimensionals.

That's it!  Super quick and fun!  Thanks for checking out my flashback card, I had a blast making it!


If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

    I love your idea of Flashback Friday! I still have lots of retired sets and want to use them but am afraid that no one would want to see them because they aren't "current". Thanks Nicole!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad

I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along with Frosted Se

I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confetti Star Punch an
