Sweet Treat Bag with Peachy Keen Stamps Christmas in July!

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

We are celebrating Christmas in July at Peachy Keen Stamps all month long with great sales every Tuesday evening through the following Tuesday. 

Today I am sharing a project I made with one of the add on sets that coordinate with the July Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month.

I made a treat box / bag . I purchased this svg file from Lori Whitlock and cut from some older K&Company paper I had in my stash.  I cut a circle and scallop from the Gypsy Wanderings Cricut download that was on my Gypsy. I ran the circle through my Cuttlebug with the snowflakes embossing folder.

My cute little snowman cupcake is from PK-1328 Yummies! set. I colored him with my Copic markers and added some Diamond Stickles to his hat/frosting.

To finish of my treat container, I added some felt snowflakes and gems I had in my stash.

Head on over to Peachy Keen Stamps to see the current sale.

Thank you for stopping today!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!



I love you to Pieces ~SMS January Release

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

I hope you all had a great weekend! Things are moving fast at my house with the big move so I am feeling a little overwelmed. I know that all will be well and that my Lord will get me through so, there is no need to worry.

 

Today I am sharing a card that I created with the new release from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

 

 

I really love this card!. I used real puzzle pieces to create my heart. I just took an old puzzle and painted some of the pieces with acrylic paint. It look several coats. Once dry, my pieces looked a little dull so I covered them with Ranger Glossy Accents.

 

I cut  a heart from Gypsy Wanderings so that I had a template to follow and I glued and layered my pieced down. I added some crinkle ribbon and topped it with a Prima flower.

 

My patterned paper is from Authentique Lovely Collection. I added some flat backed pearls to the corners and that was it!

 

Here is a close up:

 

 

My tag was hand cut and I stamped with Scrappy Moms Stamps "With All of My Heart" set.

 

 

Here is a look at the other set that Scrappy Moms Stamps is releasing, "2 Thumbs Up!"

 

 

Both of these sets are in stock and shipping. Hurry over to Scrappy Moms Stamps to get yours!

 

I am linking this to the following challenges:

 

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Flowers

Pile It On ~ Have a Heart

Cut It Up ~ In With The New ( stamps and paper are new )

Whimsical Designs ~ Anything Goes

Really Reasonable Ribbon ~ Valentine's Day/Love & Ribbon

Crafty Ribbons ~ Love/Romance/Anniversary

4 Crafty Chicks ~ Pearls

 

Have a fabulous Monday!

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

I'm so excited to share my card with you today! I have another sneak peek of Peachy Keen Stamps November Stamp of the Month.

 

 

For this card I chose papers that came in the November Peachy Picks kit. Love them!!

 

I chose this cute patootie elf and colored her with my Copics.

 

I added some sparkle to her hat using some Stickles. The sentiment is also found in the November Stamp of the Month. I think it fits perfectly with this little elf!

 

You can check out the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog to see even more peeks from my fellow designers.

 

Also, don't forget...

 

 

I hope you will join in on all the fun!

 

Have a wonderful Sunday! I am hoping to have something for you tomorrow.

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

Shop Pumpkin Spice "Boy Crazy" Blog Hop

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

It's the first Saturday in March and that means it's time for a Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop. This month's hop theme is "Boy Crazy." All of the designers have a male themed project that includes a challenge: Use at least one circle, twine, and at least one button.

If you came from Courtney's blog, Court's Crafts, then you are on the right path. If you just happened upon my blog then you will want to head over to the Pumpkin Spice Blog to start from the beginning. This hop is a great way to get some good ideas for those difficult male projects.

I created a card using Echo Park's "A Boy's Life" 6x6 paper pad.

I am so pleased with the way this card came out. It could be used as a birthday, congratulations, or encouragement card. Echo Park's "A Boy's Life" is filled with wonderful designs and I know I will get a lot of use out of this pad.

I used my Cricut Expression and my Gypsy to cut out my shapes. I then inked all my edges with Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye. I added some wooden buttons from my stash and inked them, also. I added The Twinery Twine in Pea Pod and Lemondrop to my buttons.

These items can be found at Shop Pumpkin Spice:

Echo Park "A Boy's Life" 6x6 paper pad

The Twinery Baker's Twine in Pea Pod and Lemondrop

Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More ~ Box

FCCB Spring Fling Cricut Crawl

Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together and the fifth Fantabulous Cricut Crawl...Fantabulous Cricut's version of a blog hop!

It's Spring Time, even though some places may not look like it :) and everyone at Fantabulous Cricut has decided to have a Spring Fling! Each Design Team member will be featuring an original spring project that includes Pink, Green and Yellow on it along with at least one Cricut cut.

If you've come from visiting Sarah at Sarah’s Stamping and Stuff, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE.

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Spring Fling" project at FCCB!

How fun is that!

For my project I created some mini milk cartons that could be filled with jelly beans, robin’s eggs, or any type of treat. Now, I must confess that I forgot that our challenge was to used pink, green, and yellow. Oops! I know these would be so cute in those colors, too!

I really love how these turned out!

Star Dust Stickles

Before you go I would love to give away a brand new stamp set from Scrappy Moms Stamps. These are the same stamps I used in my project.

Before I tell you how you can win these stamps I need to tell you how I came to have this extra set. A few days before the release of Spring Fling I had ordered a set of stamps from Scrappy Moms. Well, when they released the Spring Fling set I ordered those. When I received my stamps I discovered that Mel and Tammy sent me 2 sets of the Spring Fling set. I contacted them and told them what had happened. Instead of having me send back the extra set they told me to keep them and they sent me the other set I had ordered. They were wonderful! So because they allowed me to keep the extra set I get to pass them on to one of you.

All you need to do to win these stamps is leave me a comment on this post with a way for me to contact you. You don’t have to be a follower but I would love it if you would. You have until Saturday, April 16, 12 midnight EST to comment. I will choose the winner via Random.org Sunday.

I also have another giveaway going on. You find the details—HERE.

Now it's your turn! Let's see your Spring Fling projects! Make sure to include a Cricut cut somewhere on your project and Pink, Green and Yellow!

Next stop...Tamara's blog, Happy Life Crafty Wife. Go see what she has in store for you today... And when you're done, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest!

Happy Crawling!

Giveaway is now closed.

For my project today I decided to make a few note cards using PK-229 Funny Flowers.

Here is my list of ingredients:

Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-229 Funny Flowers

Kraft cardstock

Gypsy Wanderings Cricut Cartridge ~ Scalloped circle

Prisma Colored Pencils and Mineral Spirits

Crystal Stickles

Ranger Glossy accents

White Gelly Roll Pen

Fiscars Punch

Before you go I want you to know that the generous Peachy Keen family allowed me to pick out a set of stamps for one of you to win this week. As I was looking through the stamps I just could not pass up these cuties!

Danger! Contents Highly Addictive

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends!

Welcome to another Flaunt It Fridays Challenge! Today's challenge is to Flaunt the skull and crossbones from Mini Monsters. The only requirement is that it not be used for a Halloween project. Here is what I cam up with:

f

This is a pop-top can filled with chocolates. It is a fun way to give a gift.

Here are the steps in making this fun gift.



You will need and can with a pop-top lid, safety can opener, super glue, and something in which to fill the can.

You are going to turn the can over and open it from the bottom with your safety can opening. Empty the contents from the can and clean it thoroughly.

Now fill your can with whatever surprise you would like to hide inside.

Using super glue reattach the bottom of the can. It is probably a good idea to put the contents in a sandiwhic bag or baggie with a twist time. This will help protect the contents from the glue.

Now the fun part, Decorating!

Here is what I used to decorate this can:

Cricut Cartridges ~ Mini Monsters - skull and crossbones, Gypsy Wanderings - Danger

Fiscars Punch

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders ~ Seeing Spots, Swiss Dots

Computer generated sentiment

Atg or if you really want it to stick, Mod Podge

I hope you join us this week in Flaunting your stuff at Flaunt It Fridays!

Happy Crafting!
