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!

 

 

Flaunt It Fridays ~ Twinkle Toes

Yay! It's Friday! That means it is time for a  new challenge over at Flaunt It Fridays. This week's challenge is to use any cut from the Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite Cartridge. I decided to use the piano cut from this cartridge. When I started on my project I had thought I would do a layout since both my daughters play piano. I even had the perfect patterned paper in mind. But as I started gathering supplies I realized that the paper I had planned on using was no longer a nice 12 x12 piece of patterned paper it was much smaller. So, I went from a layout to a card that would be perfect to give to a piano teacher.

Here is what I used:

Card size ~ 4.25 x 5.5 inches

Cricut Cartridge ~ Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite

Cardstock ~ All from my stash

My Craft Spot ~ Acorn Crinkle Ribbon

Ranger Distress Ink ~ Tea Dye, Brushed Corduroy

Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

Pearls

Button

Hemp

Pop Dots, Glue Dots, ATG

Spotlighting My Craft Spot ~ Post #2

Good Morning!

It's Monday so that means is is time for a "Challenge Me Monday" challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. For this week's challenge we are asking that you make some kind of shaped card. There are so many Cricut cartridges that have shaped cards that you can use or it you have a Gypsy or Design Studio you can create your own shaped card. I decided that that I would create my own.

I am also sharing my second card that I made using hand-dyed Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot. We featured My Craft Spot in our "Spotlight Sunday" post over at FCCB. You can check that out -HERE.

I created this shaped card using my Gypsy. I used the Create A Critter Cricut cartridge for this sweet little lamb. I took 2 shadow images at 3.94 inches flipped one vertically and welded them at the head. I then cut out another shadow image so that I could layer that on top so the the fold would be hidden. All other layers were also cut at 3.94.

Here you can see a close up of that adorable face! I used Ranger Glossy Accents on the eyes and nose to give them a little shine and dimension.

I stamped my sentiment on the inside of this cute little card.

Here is what I used to create this card:

Cricut Cartridge ~ Create A Critter - lamb cut at 3.94

Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK 757 Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Face Assortment

My Craft Spot ~ Hand-dyed Crinkle Ribbon in Petal Pink

Pink By Design Stamps ~ Country Living

Stampendous Fun Flock ~ Cotton Ball White

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder ~ D'Vine Swirls

Winter Warmies FCCB #42

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

It's Monday so that means it's time for another Fantabulous Crciut "Challenge Me Monday!" Todays challenge is "Winter Warmies." Create something using things you would wear to keep you warm in the winter. For this challenge I created a shaped card.

Here is what I used to make this card:

Cricut Cartridges ~ Everyday Paper Dolls, Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More

Gypsy ~ the mittens from this cartridge come in pairs so the first thing I did was "hide" one of the mittens. Once that was done I copied the mitten I wanted to use and flipped it and welded the 2 together. I also cut 2 more mittens, one in white and one in blue. I glued the blue one on top of my welded base so that it would hide the fold. I then cut the bottom off the white mitten to create a white cuff.

Cardstock ~ from my stash

Cuttlebug ~ Houndstooth embossing folder

White Fun Flock ~  I used this on the whilte cuff

Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch

Martha Stewart Gem

Ribbon ~ Hobby Lobby

Sentiment ~ Computer generated

Head on over to the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to check out what the rest of the Fantabulous designers have created. I invite each one of you to participate in the challenge. Who knows! You could be the winner of the great prize this week!

Happy Crafting!

Cards By Susie

Happy Thursday!

I don't have a project for you today but don't worry I have been in my craft room creating something that I am so excited to share with you. It is for the FCCB so you won't get to see it until Monday.

When I came up with the name for this blog it was so that my daughters and I could share our creations. At first they were so excited to do this. In fact, it was my daughter, Julia, that had wanted to start the blog. Since then and, to my sadness, they have decided that they really don't want to blog. I kept the name anyway because I still love to scrap with them. :)

Susanna is my 14 year old daughter and she caught the crafting bug this week. I asked her if it was ok to share her cards on my blog and she was ok with it. I think she did a great job. She really doesn't like to use the Cricut for her cards. She is more of a stamper. Without much further ado here are Susie's Cards:

Some of the items used:

• Scrappy Moms Stamps ~ Winter Wishes
• StampUp! stamps
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folders
• Martha Stewart Punches
• Fiscars border punch
• Ribbon
• Brads
• Glitter
• Distress Ink

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

• Cricut Cartridge ~ From My Kitchen

• Scrappy Moms Stamps ~ A Pinch and a Dash
• Martha Stewart Punch
• Ranger Distress Ink ~ Tea Dye
• Acetate ~ I used for the glass

Stop on over to Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and see what all the designers are sharing this week and don't forget to play along. There are great prizes to be won!

Madison's Card

I made this card for Madison, a little girl battling cancer. Trish over at Techniques by Trish is hosting a card drive for this little girl and her family. Click here for the details.

I will also be submitting this to My Pink Stamper's Color Challenge. The colors to use are pink, purple, and green.

The details:
Cricut Cartridge ~ Create A Critter ~ racoon and marque shape
Paper ~ Recollections and Martha Stewart
Ribbon ~ WalMart
Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-754 Critter Faces SET A Medium ~ My set really didn't have a face that fit the racoon so I chose two stamps and combined them. I liked the mouth and nose on one stamp so I just inked up that part and stamped. I used the eyes from another stamp but had to ink one eye and stamp and then do the same for the other eye.
Sentiment ~ TPC Studios
White Gelly Roll Pen
Color Chalk Ink ~ Chestnut Roan ~ I just inked the marque shape a little to help it stand out.

Have great Sunday, Everyone!
