Mondays with The Project Bin ~ get messy!

Hi friends!
 

It's officially the LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL :)

The best part of summer for me ... having my "babies" near ♥

And not driving to and from and from and to

 all.  day.  long.

will be nice, too :)

 

Since it's Monday, Kelly² posts cards for The Project Bin

on the TPB Inspiration blog!

What did I make for you with The Project Bin stamps today?

 

A mess!

That's what I made!

A big 'ol fun, gooey mess :)

 

This shaving cream technique is one that I have done a few times before,

and it's always great fun.

It's like finger painting - for moms!

The only thing I did different with this 'faux marble" shaving cream techique

is instead of using my reinkers, I used 'ol fashioned food coloring.

Like from Betty Crocker :)

The colors are amazingly vivid and striking!

 

 I used the stamp/die set Feline Good ~ such an irresistible set ♥

 

 

 

I stamped the different cats onto designer paper,

then ran them through my Cuttlebug with the coordinating dies.

I propped them onto the brightly colored background with 3D foam.

This card is matted with black card stock, almost unheard of with my cards,

but it was just the perfect color for the contrasting 'busy' colors.

The banner was the last stamped touch, right onto the dsp.

Since it was so busy, I added a few matching enamel dots and that's it!

You can see more cards with this stamp/die set in the DT gallery.

There are so many different sentiments in the set,

your cards will turn out PURR-fect! 

You can find this stamp/die set as well as many others in the shop!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Mondays with The Project Bin ~ Lemon Shaker!

Hi friends!

For all my friends that are moms, grandmas, aunties, etc ~ 

I hope yesterday was a wonderful day for you all!

Even though this is a busy season of life for us,

with each of the little squares on the calendar filled in 

with notes and appointments and meetings and places to be,

I feel so incredibly blessed to be called mommy by 4 ♥

 Children are God’s love-gift; they are heaven’s generous reward.  – Psalm 127:3

It's Monday, which means it's time for another card featuring The Project Bin :)

I'm showing you the YELLO! stamp set again today,

and this time in the form of a shaker card.

I call this one ........... Lemon Shaker!

I've created a different kind of shaker card ~ this one using the lemon/lime slices

 from the stamp set inside the acetate window box.

 Here it is, 'shaken ... not stirred'   ↓

This is truly one of the most fun stamp/die sets I've 'played with' to date.

The possibilities are just endless.

 

You can find this set and more by heading over to TPB shop,

and see many card samples on the Inspiration blog.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Mondays with The Project Bin ~ Nat'l Love Your Pet Day!

Hi friends!

Yay!  It's Monday!

That's the day I post on the inspiration blog at The Project Bin stamps ♥

It's also a holiday and if you were lucky enough to score the day off of work, woohoo!

In addition to today being President's Day, today is also

National Love Your Pet Day!

How.  sweet.  is.  that!

 

We love, love, LOVE our pets here in our home!

We have two high maintenance fun and crazy doggies

 that keep me on my toes ~ literally!

 (and a bunny and an amazon macaw) ♥

Today's card is using three different stamp sets, 

all on one card!

I've used the dog stamp and die cut from Kinda Pawsome,

stamped directly onto the designer paper,

followed by the kitty and die from Feline Good.

I cut a circular pattern in the cardstock

 and placed a peice of Puppy Love dsp by Doodlebug behind it.

Lastly, the sentiment is from the In My heart set

and the bubble die is from Riley and Company stamps.

Here's a closer look at the sentiment:

 You can find all three of the stamp/die sets used on this card

here in The Project Bin's store!

I hope you get lots of hugs and slurps from your pets today ♥

As for me, now that I'm better and back up and walking, 

mine will have me sprinting around the block! LOL!

Before I go - take a peek at The Project Bin's sale!

Mondays with The Project Bin ~ Everybody ♥

Hi friends!

I LOVE Mondays!

It's the day that I post on the inspiration blog 

 at The Project Bin Stamps,

for Kelly² Monday! :)

Today's card is using the Everybody stamp from the Bazinga stamp set.

This saying is so sweet,

and a great reminder in this uncertain time in our country.

Most days, I just don't even look at the news or social media.

 Andy Warhol stated it wonderfully:

"I think

everybody

should like

  everybody." 

Love. that. saying!

Tomorrow is a day we show our love and affection and friendship.

But you can start today :)

Wherever you might be,

whomever you are with, and

whatever you might be doing ....

do it with kindness!

Love everybody ♥

Here is my card today ↓

Denise, the owner and designer of The Project Bin stamps,

Mondays with TPB - 9 Lives ♥

Hi friends!

Happy Meow-nday!

This weekend went by in a blur for me,

especially since I spent most of Sunday after church in bed :(

Unfortunately, I'm not feline so good!

While I don't have all the symptoms of that flu bug going around,

the severe body aches, lethargy and nausea kept me almost still ;) 

 My card today is using the new Feline Good stamp and die set

from The Project Bin stamps.

Mondays are the day that Kelly² (that's two Kellys!)

post to the inspiration blog at The Project Bin stamps.

For all the kitty lovers out in crafty land,

here's a super cute fluffy cat!

This.  sentiment.

♥

 I stamped out the image onto dsp, then ran it through my cuttlebug 

with the matching die.  The sentiment is also from the stamp set ~

one of the many fabulous kitty sayings :)

 And the inside, left blank - 

because this card goes to my purr-fect other half!

  And that's it for today's The Project Bin card.

Thanks so much for stopping by ♥

Monday with The Project Bin ~ Love Notes! ♥

Hi friends!  

And just like that ~ the winter holiday break is over!

 It's back to college(s) and middle/high school for our kids ..

 I'm suddenly humming the tune to Willie Nelson's  

"On the road again" ♪♫♯   
LOL!

I've gotten spoiled by their constant presence in the house

and I truly love having them here so often.

Not a single one of us was looking forward to today's return to school(s) :(

   

 But in happier news -

It's Project Bin Monday!

Which means once again, Kelly² are the highlighted designers :)

The Project Bin stamps are so. much. fun!

I am in love with the In My Heart stamp and die set,

so I am showcasing it again today.

  For today's post, I made .......

Lunch box love notes! ♥

This idea was inspired by my daughter's super sweet boyfriend ♥

He packed her lunch for her and left it in the refrigerator

with a little love note on a piece of paper inside.

I, of course, had no idea but she told me about it later via text

and sent a little snapshot, too - cuteness!   

  

So here's how I made these:

I cut random scraps of cardstock in a variety of colors in 4" x 8" strips.

Using the score pad, I folded these in half to create little 4" x 4" note cards.

I ran a white piece of 65# cardstock through the Cuttlebug 

with a scallop edge die, then stamped out different sentiments 

 from the In My Heart stamp/die set directly onto the cardstock.

The hearts are die cuts from the coordinating die heart

which I ran through the Cuttlebug as well, 

and then glued those down with Tombo.

The inside of the love notes have plain white cardstock for messages.
