Hmmm, housework or knitting????



Duh, knitting of course!!! I bet you didn't know that about me now did ya? Yup, I love to knit! Of course I only do simple things like scarves and hats but it's a lot of fun and very relaxing... When I saw this little "Crafty Cuppie" stamp set over at Taylored Expressions, I thought, "that is SO me" and instantly fell in LOVE with it. One of those HAD TO HAVES!! You know how that is, right? There are 5 images in the set plus several sentiments. But if you're like me, the more sentiments the better. They must've heard me because there is also an additional set available called Crafty Expressions for even more cute sentiments to go with it! Well say no more!! ADD TO CART!!

I stamped my little Knitting Cuppie onto some Classic Crest CS, colored her with my Copics and added some Stickles to the cherry on top. I sponged some chalk ink around the edges and matted her with Island Mist Medium and Classic Red CS from my Valentine Key Ingredients Kit. This DP is from DCWV Farmer's Market collection. This is a really cute paper collection and what I like most about it is that it's Kraft colored paper on the reverse side of each piece. How cool is that? I followed the sketch from the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #98 and used my Martha Stewart border punch along the top and bottom edge of the mat and then stitched around the edges. I stamped the sentiment from the Crafty Expressions set and added these little flowers that I punched out from one of the DP sheets. I added a few brads to the flower centers and tied on some pretty saddle stitched ribbon to finish. Be sure to leave a comment below and let me know what you think of her, okay? I hope you all have a SUPER DUPER Tuesday.

Supplies:
Rubber Stamps - Crafty Cuppie & Crafty Expressions from Taylored Expressions; DP - DCWV Farmer's Market; CS - Island Mist Medium & Classic Red from Taylored Exressions, Classic Crest White; Copics; Ribbon - Papertrey Ink; Brads; Stickles
