Trick or Treat ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Inspiration

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

 

Today I am posting and prividing some inspiration for the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog.

 

 

I have been having fun coloring again!

 

 

This adorable little image is from Penny Black's "Mimi Halloween" stamp set. Isn't she the cutest witch! I stamped her with My Pink Stamper's "Darkest Night" Hybrid ink and she was colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is also from this set. It is part of the treat bag that another image in the set was holding.

 

The papers I used are from My Mind's Eye "Blackbird" Collection and Echo Park's "Chillingsworth Manor." I cut the sheet music from this 6x6 pad. The star and punched border were also from the Blackbird Collection.

 

Everything, except my image, was inked with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I finished off the card with a button and some twine from my stash.

 

You can find all these products and so much more at Shop Pumpkin Spice! You really should check it out. The prices and selection are fabulous!

 

You may or may not know but there is a referral contest going on right now on the Pumpkin Spice Blog.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge ~ 3D Objects

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today I am sharing inspiration for this week's Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge.

 

The Challenge:

 

Create a project involving candles. You can wrap them, stamp on them, or anything else your creative minds can come up with!

We'll be awarding "TOP PEACH" to the player who uses their Peachy Keen Stamps this week and our two runner ups will receive a spiffy badge to display on their blog!

 

Guidelines:

- Design must be new

- Link up by 9/26 - 11:59 pm EST

 

 

I decided to create a decorative band for my candle using the September Stamp of the Month PKSC-09.

 

The scarecrow was colored with Copic markers and his clothing was paper pieced. I colored the pumpkin with Copic markers, also.

 

 

For some added color and texture I added some Autumn Flower Soft to the base.

 

Now it's your turn!

 

Head on over the the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog. Check out my design team sisters project for some more inspiration and then create a project. I can't wait to see what you do!

 

Thank you all for the sweet comments over that last few days. I really appreciate each one of you.

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

 

 

PKS 2012 Halloween / Fall Blog Hop

This is the my second post for today. Scroll down to see my Scrappy Moms Stamps project.

 

Hi Peachy Fans! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today we are hopping! This is the 2012 Peachy Keen Stamps Halloween / Fall Blog Hop. The present and past Peachy Keen designers have so much for you to see.

 

If you have come here from Nikki's Blog: Scrappin Navy Wife, you are in the right place. If you just happened to be visiting my blog then you will want to start from the beginning at the Peachy Keen Blog.

 

Here is my Peachy project:

 

 

I created a treat box for you using the match box from  Cricut's Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. I cut it at 4.12 inches so that it could fit 6 mini Reeses Cups.

 

The box is decorated using papers from the September Peachy Picks Kit. I cut the little monster from Cricut's Mini Monsters cartridge. I hid his face and stamped him with Peachy Keen Stamps PK-692 Monster Mash Assortment. My sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps PKSC-09 September 2012.

 

Other items used:

Mathy Stewart  Drippy Goo Punch

Halloween Baker's Twine

Lime Green, Orange Stickles

Ranger Glossy Accents

Button

 

The Peachy Keen Stamps Club is a monthly recurring subscription that you can opt out of at any time.  You get an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of image and sentiment stamps eachy month at a special club price. The club is available for US residents, as well as, international residents.

 

You are still able to get these stamps without a subscription but the price will be different than the club price.

 

Now it's time to head to the next stop in the hop but before you go I need to share a few more things with you.

 

First, there is a Peachy Keen Stamps Sale happening right now! With every order you will receive a FREE Stamp. There are a few discounts to be had, too.

 

Secondly, We will be giving away a total of $150.00 in prizes for this hop! How AWESOME is THAT?!!! They will include: 1 $50 Gift Certificate and 4 $25 Gift Certificates. BUT you must leave a comment at each stop in the hop to have a chance to win. These gift certificates have been hidden and we do not know from which blogs the winners will be pulled. We will keep the comments open until Friday morning, when we will "officially" end the hop.

 

After you leave your comment, head on over to Lisa's Blog: 2 Angels in Heaven. She has something fabulous for you to see!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bippity Boppity Boo! ~ SMS Terrific Tuesday Challenge

Hi Friends!  Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Are you ready for another Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge?

 

This week's challenge is to make a Halloween project.

 

 

I welded 2 tags together using the Cricut cartridge, A Child's Year, and my Gypsy. This cute little witch is a SVG from Lettering Delights Witch One.

 

I stamped her face with Peachy Keen Stamps PK- 560 Dolly Dumplins. I added Yellow Stickles to her buckles for some bling. The spider web border is a Martha Stewart border punch. Added on top of the border is the new Halloween Baker's Twine that is now available at Scrappy Moms Stamps.

 

This sentiment is from the newest release from Scrappy Moms Stamps, "Goosebumps!"

 

 

Now it's your turn. We want to see your Halloween projects. You can link up at Scrappy Moms Stamps!

Eyes on You! ~ Scrappy Moms Stamps Sept. Release

Hi Guys! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today I have a simple shaped card to share using the newest Scrappy Moms Stamps "Goosebumps!"

 

 

This was a super quick little card to put together. I used Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge and cut this monster using the card feature. I didn't use the eyes and mouth. Instead, I masked off the eyes on my Peachy Keen Stamps, PK- 692 Monster Mash Assortment, and used just the nose and mouth.

 

This little guy just needs googly eyes so that is what I added. To dress him up a little I added some Lime Green Stickles and Ranger Glossy Accents to his spots.

 

The sentiment is from the newest Scrappy Moms Stamps release, "Goosebumps."

 

 

These are in stock and shipping as I type. AND, if you place an order this week through September 16th you will receive FREE Shipping!! Now that's a deal! Go check out allthe Scrappy Moms Stamps has to offer.

 

Thanks for stopping by today. Come back tomorrow for another project.

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

 

 

Angelica's Fond Farewell Blog Hop

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today the Peachy Keen designers, past and present, are hosting a Fond Farewell Blog Hop for our one and only Angelica Suarez.

 

Angelica is such a special person. Not only has she been the Design Team/Marketing coordinator for Peachy Keen Stamps for the past 3 years, she has been an encouraging friend. I've so enjoyed working with her! She has made being on this design team a real joy. Although, I will miss her, I know that she is going to be a success in her new venture and I wish her the very best.

If you arrived here from Melissa's Blog , you are hopping along in just the right order, but if you started here, then you will want to go back to the beginning to the Peachy Keen Stamps blog, because you're not going to want to miss one single crafty creation.

You may want to grab a cup of coffee and settle in. There is a lot to see.

 

First you should know that there are four $20 Peachy Keen gift cards up for grabs. To be eligible, you must leave a comment at each designer's blog and the PKS blog. You will want to do this as we don't know which blogs will be chosen to choose a winner.

Now onto my card!
 

 I wanted to create a Thank You card for Angelica.

 

Because I have been working more, I haven't had as much crafty time as I'd like so I kept this simple.

I used PKSC-05 May 2012 for my flowers which I paper-pieced. The sentiment comes from PKSC-09 September 2012. I added some crinkle ribbon and a brad to finish it off.

 

You have until Tuesday morning, September 11, to leave a comment on each blog. Winners will be announced on the Peachy Keen Blog on Tuesday evening.

 

Now it's time to head on over to Viv's Blog. She always has something wonderful!

Halloween Treats ~ Scrappy Moms Stamps September Release

Hi Everyone!

 

I hope you all have been having a great week.

 

Today Scrappy Moms Stamps is releasing a brand new Halloween set entitled "Goosebumps."

 

This set is filled with wonderful spooky greetings that are just so fun to use with your creepy-cute diecuts.

 

I decided to make some lollipop holders to showcase a few of the sentiments.

 

 

To make the lollipop holder I used Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and the book feature. I welded 2 together using my Gypsy to measure at 7 1/4"x 2 1/2". I then scored them at 4  3/8" and turned them and score again at 4 3/8."

 

For this one I used the skeleton from Paper Doll Dress Up. I heat embossed my sentiment with black embsossing powder and attached it with my Tim Holtz Tinby Attacher.

 

For this little guy, I used Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge. I used my Gypsy to hide his face. I stamped him with PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment. I added some Cotton Candy Stickles and Glossy accents.  I just loved this sentiment and thought it was perfect for this treat.

 

To keep my lollipops stable I added a glue dot to the inside and then punch holes and tied them closed with some Twinery Baker's Twine,  which is available at Scrappy Moms Stamps.

 

Take a look at this stamps set:

 

 

I told you it was a fun, fun set!

 

Now here some other fabulous news. Scrappy Moms Stamps is have an End of Summer Sale! 

 

Order anything from the Scrappy Moms Stamps Store and get FREE Shipping beginning today, September 7th - September 16th! You gotta love that!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

SMS Terrific Tuesday Challenge with a Peachy Peek!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day. I spent it with my daughters so, I had a wonderful day!

 

Today I am sharing a card I made as inspiration for a new Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge.

 

The challenge: Make a shaped card.

 

 

For my shaped card I welded 2 of the book shapes together from Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge then layered a smaller cut on top.

 

The sentiment I chose is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Bewitched" set. This is such a fun set!

 

This little bat is actually a sneak peek of the newest Peachy Keen Stamps September Kit of the Month. He was colored with Copic markers and then painted with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam Glitter Paint for some sparkle. I, then,  put him on an Action Wobble, which you can purchase from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

 

I stamped the inside with another sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Bewitched" stamps. The little bats are inculded in this set, also.

 

As you can see Scrappy Moms Stamps can compliment your Peachy Keen Stamps perfectly.

 

Be sure to check out the Scrappy Moms Stamps Blog to see what my design team sisters have created then, create an shape and link up!

 

Come back later to see another Peachy Peek!
