Today is Kryssi’s — aka sugarbuffet’s — Day on the Blog over at Hero Arts! She was my pick for the last “Win a Day” contest. I just love her style — she has a terrific sense of color + always does something unexpected — plus she is so sweet!
I thought I’d share the cards that I made that are inspired by hers. First off, here’s one featuring one of my favorite stamp sets — the Clear Design Dolls + a real doll that Kryssi found, called a momiji! My card was inspired by the momiji doll’s dress
And here’s a little tip — you can roll the edges of the stamped doll around your finger to curve them — then she’ll look even more like a doll! Thanks to my friend Liz for that trick!
Since today is “Watch it Wednesday” over on the Hero blog, I made a little video showing how to make a paper fortune cookie — thought they went with the theme. These are so fun to make — and to give — they always make people smile! :)
Here’s a closeup
And here’s the video
Here’s a better view doll that I got — isn’t she just adorable? The place that I got mine from is now out of stock, but you can search on Google and find some others. Note: these dolls are addicting! You have been warned! :)
Next, here’s a card totally inspired by one that Kryssi did:
Gotta love those owls — and wiggle eyes with eyelashes crack me up!
Last but not least, I finally got to use the cloud stamps in the Clear Design Sky’s the Limit set — yay! LOVE clouds, they are so fun!
To see all of Kryssi’s super duper cards that I used for inspiration, just click on over here to the Hero Arts Blog. Oh and! There’s a giveaway going on there, too!
BIG hugs to you, Kryssi! Hope you enjoy your day on the blog!
Hey Lisa – love your work! I have a quick question. Who makes the google eyes with eyelashes? I have never seen any like that and love them!
Hi Kathy! Not sure who makes them, as I took mine out of the package — I store my eyes in baby food jars — too many bad experiences where the package ripped and eyes went flying everywhere, ha ha ha! :) I got them at Hobby Lobby if that helps.
well lisa… i am already sleep deprived (my kid wakes up at least 3x a night), but the excitement got me up for good 8:30 this morning (we usually sleep till 10, haha)!
i love your cards, love your talent, love you!!! thanks and here’s a big fat {{{HUG}}} from your biggest new york fan!
I LOVE all of the cards today Lisa! Your “Hello friend” with the cut felt flower is genius!

OH MY GOODNESS! These cards are amazing. I absolutely love the fortune cookie too. Thanks for the tutorial on how to make it.
I just love love love your blog. Your work still amazes me! Thanks!!
Lisa…lover of felt: Have you ever tried making the fortune cookies out of beige felt? A little more pliable than paper, although it can be mistaken for a “wonton” because of the coloring! Try it…they’re addictive to make!
Donna! That is a most excellent idea! I was actually thinking it the other day, but I didn’t have the right color felt…! This calls for a trip to the craft store..!
Ohhh I love those momiji dolls. I saw them in England two years ago for the first time and since than I was in love LOL
Great cards you are showing. The Japanese girls are my favorite stamps right now too :D
