Day 3 JoysLife.com Give-A-Way!

So "Cow are you?"..

I think this is now my favorite posting on my blog, first because I just love this stamp from Joy's Life Lot's of Pun Stamps, second because it's my first Give-A-Way! YEAH!

I used Cricut Create a Critter Cartridge (I think this is my favorite cartridge right now) for the Cow and Everyday Paper Doll Cartridge for the barn. The card measures roughly 6"x6" and the cow was cut at 3". I did have to get creative to make the layers for the barn - thanks Gypsy. Added a little scrap ribbon and some black ink marks around the roof line. Fun Fun! The best part of it all - I used all scraps!

And Now For a Wonderful Opportunity for you!

I am super excited to be posting this!

My first design that is published on www.joyslife.com She has a wonderful new set of stamps out called "Lots of Pun" They are perfectly designed to accompany the Cricut cartridge "Create a Critter". I isn't necessary to have this cartridge, but how can you not?

Well here goes.... This stamp I used was "Hi-ppopotamus" from "Lots of Pun" by Joy'slife.com AND of course I had to use a Hippo! I decided to make 2 cards right away - saves on time - something I learned from my fabulous Aunt Lolly & Cousin Mindy - thanks ladies for the tip!
The list of things used: -Joy's Life Stamp "Fun with Pun", Cricut cartridge "Create a Critter", Stampin Up punch Modern Label, Edger punch from EK Success "Scalloped Diamond", Stampin Up Cardstock Certainly Celery & Chocolate Chip and other misc cardstock in my collection.

I used stampin' up Celery cardstock for the card at 8 /2 x 5 1/2 & fold in 1/2. I used Choc Chip cardstock for the base of the hippo adn the butterfly. Next layer was dark pink for both, Hippo had the checked pink and then topped with a link pink textured cardstock for the edge, butterfly, stamped punch out, and hippo nose.


The next hippo card has the same concept. Basic colors on a 6x6 inch card. I used all scarps on this card so I don't have the specifics on any. Once again Joy's Life "Lot's of Pun" stamps, Cricut cartridge "Create a Critter". Also added some stickles in Pink & Silver. Once again 4 layers to the hippo Black, pink, dark gray & light gray. The weeds and water are accessories from Create a Critter & the cloud was free hand.
