Toilet Bomb

Nope, not planning to destroy any bathroom fixtures.  I saw a recipe for Toilet Bombs over on Pinterest and I had to try it!  I had most of the ingredients.  I just needed citric acid and silicone molds so I hopped over to Amazon and they were on the way.  Maria put hers in a jar, but I couldn’t leave my jar plain, could I?  So I grabbed my new Bloom for You stamp and the coordinating Fun Flower punch.  I used Tangerine Tango, but you could use any color card stock and ink that coordinates with your décor.  You can make your own bombs too!

Baby Blocks 7-12-14

Baby Block Card 7-12-14I saw Dawn Griffith make a similar card and adored the idea! I just love her designs and videos!

I made a few changes to her design.  Mine is made with Lullaby Designer Series Paper and also uses the matching Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding card stock.  Stamp and punch a ticket from That’s the Ticket and a few hearts punched with the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack.

I shrunk mine down a bit from the one Dawn showed.  This allowed me to fit the card in a standard medium envelope.  It also made the perfect size blocks to use the Postage Stamp and 1″ Square punches.  With the smaller size, I was able to cut this from less than have an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of card stock and it already includes the part to overlap.  I also realized that the tops of my blocks are open where Dawn’s open to the front.  My version could easily be turned that way.  I couldn’t tell you which I prefer.
