a Sweet hello - SMS Terrific Tuesday Challenge

Hi There! Welcome to little home in blog land!

Today there is a new Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at Scrappy Moms Stamps!

The Challenge: Use a Digi

I am posting a little late today but it's all good!

I used my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut my image!! It was so easy!! It definitely made it easy to put a quick card together!

I cut out my image an layered it on a another oval and added some doodling around the image. My sentiment come from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Sweet Somethings" set. I curved it on my block to follow the curve of my oval.

I used patterned paper from My Mind's Eye "School Daze" 6x6 paper pad. The rick rack was created with the newest die from Scrappy Moms Stamps called "Chevron and Rick Rack Die." I LOVE this die!!

Here is a look at the Scrappy Moms Stamps products I used"

It was truly a quick and easy card to put together. I can see using this method to make a bunch of invitations and such.

Head on over to Scrappy Moms Stamps to see what the other designers have created for your inspiration!

Hope you join us in the digi challenge!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!!

Feeling Ruff? ~ Peachy Keen Stamps August Peek

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Did you have a good weekend? I did! It's nice to have some time with my husband without the distractions of the world. :)

Today I am sharing another peek of Peachy Keen Stamps August Release.

For this card I used the cute puppy from the August Stamp of the Month PKSC-August 2013.

This puppy is the cutest!!  I colored him with my Copics and did a little texturizing. I love the way he came out. I embossed the background with the Cuttlebug See Spots embossing folder and added a strip of white cardstock that I stamped with PK-1331 Dog Background using some Hero Arts shadow ink.

Now I couldn't have a puppy without a fire hydrant! The fire hydrant was cut from the Four Legged Friends Cricut Lite cartridge. I added yellow rick rack that I cut using Scrappy Moms Stamps Cheveron and Rick Rack Die. I added some baker's twine and button top finish off my card.

The sentiment is from PKSC-20 August 2013. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Here is a closer look at this cute puppy!!

I added some Glossy Accents to his eyes for some shine.

Added another strip of Rick Rack to the inside and stamped it with the second part of the sentiment. The dog paws were stamped from PK-1331 Dog Background.

This is my last peek!

Tonight is the Peachy Keen Stamps August Release Party over at the Peachy Keen Connection. The party stats at 7:00 PM est. I hope you will join us in the fun and games that will be happening. You will also get to see the full reveal!

Hope to see you there!

Until next time...

Meow, I miss you! ~ Peachy Keen Stamps August Sneak Peek

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

If you are looking for the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop scroll down or click  HERE.

Tonight I am sharing another peek at Peachy Keen Stamps August release.

For today's card, I used another kitty.

I used the kitty head, face,paws, and sentiment are from PKSC-20 August 2013 Stamp of the Month. I colored my kitty with my Copics and added Glossy Accents to her eyes.

The card base was stamped with PK-188 Brick Wall Background. The window and the curtains are files that I purchase from the Silhouette Store. I thought the patterned papers from My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing "Lavender" collection would make pretty wallpaper and curtains. Inked everything with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The card was still lacking something so I decided to add a branch from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge.

For the inside of the card I used a shape from Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge and stamped it with a sentiment for PKSC-20 August 2013 and a sentiment from PK-1334 Howling Puppy. The pay is from 

PK-1332 Cat Background.

There are more sneak peeks on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog! Go check them out!

I will be back Monday with another peek!

Until then...

Sunny Smiles ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today is the first Saturday of the month so that means it is time for the monthly Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop! All of the designers have created projects using products found at Shop Pumpkin Spice.

If you have arrived here from Carissa's blog: Happily Ever Papercrafter then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon my blog and would like to start from the beginning then head on over the Heather's Blog: Houses Built of Cards.

This week's Pumpkin Spice Challenge is "Sunshine."  Using that theme I created a shaped card for you today.

For my card, I used a paper-piecing file from Treasure Box Designs called Tiny Treasures (Sun). I opened the file in my Silhouette Designer's Edition software and grouped the images together, welded them, and created a shadow to create the base of my card. Using my Silhouette Cameo, I cut the base of my card out of Bazzill Kraft cardstock.

Here you see the card from the side.

For the sun I used patterned paper from Carta Bella Traditions 6x6 paper pad. I inked the edges of the sun with Ranger Distress Ink in Spiced Marmalade. I popped the top part of the sun on one thickness of foam tape and the nose is popped on one thickness of foam tape. I added Glossy Accents to the eyes and sunglasses. The smile is hand drawn and I chalked the cheeks.

My clouds were cut from My Mind's Eye On the Bright Side Two 6x6 paper pad. I inked the edges with baby blue pigment ink and ran them through the Cuttlebug with the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder.

I stamped a sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Beach Bums" set.

I finished the card off with some faux stitching and it was complete!

You can find many great products from the Shop Pumpkin Spice Store and from the Pumpkin Spice Ebay Store. Check them out!

I hope you will join us in the challenge this week! You can find all the details on the Pumpkin Spice Blog!

Now it's time to head on over to Court's blog: Court's Crafts. She has something fabulous for you to see!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!!

Meow ~ Peachy Keen Stamps August Sneak Peek

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Tonight I am share a sneak peek of the upcoming August release from Peachy Keen Stamps.

The images that Kathy created are definitely for those that love their pets. These images are adorable!! Kathy never disappoints!

The project I am sharing today was actually a collaboration between my husband and I. You see, we have a fur baby that loves to bring us presents so this card was inspired by her.

I started by creating my card base in my Silhouette Designer Edition software. I just used various shapes to create the door, window, and layers. I then cut it all out with my Silhouette. I stamped the front of my card with a sentiment from PKSC-20 August 2013 Stamp of the Month. I added the little paws from PK-1332 Kitty Background Stamp.

I, also, stamped the inside of the door with the kitty background stamp and then went on to create the scene.

I used PK-107 Cloudy Day background for my sky. I cut strips of Kraft cardstock and ran it through my Cuttlebug with Paper Studio's Wood Grain embossing folder. Ranger Distress Ink in Vintage Photo was added to make it look real. I added a strip of grass using the Fiscars Grass Punch.

The kitty comes from PK- 1333 Faceless Puppy and Faceless Kitty.  I colored her with my Copics and added Glossy Accents to her eyes. The mouse (present) was also colored with my Copics. My husband suggested that I "X "out the eye just like you see in cartoons. The  kitty's face, mouse, and sentiments are all from PKSC-20 August 2013.

I have a few more projects to share over the next few days. So be sure to check back.

And don't forget to join us for the August Release Party, Monday, August 5th, at 7 PM est. over at Peachy Keen Connection.

Now head on over to the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog to see all the sneak peeks my fellow design team sisters have created. You will be in awe!

Until next time...

I went with a more CAS look for my card and I love it! I let my cute little elf be the center of attention here. Isn't he the cutest!! I colored him with my Copics and added some Diamond Stickles to his hat.

I embossed my background with Sizzix Lines and Dots embossing folder and added some Washi Tape. To finish off my card, I added some Twinery Baker's Twine in Pea Pod and topped it with a brad.

My sentiment is from PK-859 Christmas Greeting Words. It was heat embossed with white embossing powder.

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.
