Adventure Awaits

As one who loves camping, hiking and all sorts of adventure, I had fun playing around with Stampin' Up's Pieces and Patterns designer paper.  The paper has all sorts of cute animals and camping images on it.  I spent a few minutes cutting them out (I think I need the Brother Cut and Scan for Christmas - hint, hint) and then made some magnets using the images.

I just love the little trailer in this one.  I just bought a vintage trailer similar to this one and can't wait to take it out "on the road!" 

I added ribbon, pearls, buttons and enamel dots to the magnets for embellishments.

Look how cute the moose is!  Someday I'd like to see one (from afar, that is) in real life. 

I had so much fun playing around with these.  Look how I even added an enamel heart to the little bear.  :)

Which one do you like the best?  Seriously, I could make these all day.

I finished off the day making a shadowbox with more cut-outs.  The saying says, Today is the perfect day to be happy.  Looking at all of these really does make me happy.  I'm already looking forward to next year's camping adventures.

How about you?  Do you love to hike, camp and find adventures?

Coneflowers from the Daisy Punch

This week I have been working on making cards using the Daisy Delight stamp set with its coordinating punch.  I love punches that match the stamp sets- they are so quick and easy to use. 

The cards have 2 different colored flowers.  I used Tranquil Tide at first and then Early Espresso.  I decided that I like the brown flowers better.  Then I stamped a light speckle stamp using Crumb Cake ink for a subtle color in the background. When I stamped the saying onto this card, the ink smeared so I stamped the saying again on some scrap and mounted it in an oval scallop.  I mean, who wants to start over when your card is almost done? 

For this project, I used the Daisy punch and cut it in half to form a coneflower.  It was stamped on the Daisy designer paper to give it a watercolor look.  What do you think? 

I saw the idea for this card on Pinterest from Cindee Wilkinson.  I love how it came out. :)
