Happy Fall!

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today I wanted to share a card I made for a swap over at the Peachy Keen Connection. The theme for this swap was "Fall" and of course we had to use Peachy Keen Stamps on our cards.

 

 

You may have a seen a similar card that I made when this scrarecrow stamp was released last month but I loved this card and decided to amp it up a bit.

 

Th scarecrow is from PKSC-09 September Stamp of the Month. He was colored with Copics and paper-pieced. I cut the pumpkin from Mini Monsters Cruct cartridge an stamped him with a face from that same set. The corn is from Just Because Cards and the fence is from Paper Doll Dress Up.

 

The grass and leaves are both made with punches. You can find the sentiment on PKSC-09 September Stamps of the Month.

 

I just wanted to say what great fun I had making this card and I LOVE all the cards I received!

 

Check out the Peachy Keen Connection for lots of Peachy Keen inspiration!

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

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

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!

 

 

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!

I know you all must be excited because this month's Peachy Keen Stamps kit is just wonderful and so, so fun!

This cute little witch is one of the stamps included in the Peachy keen Stamps September Kit of the Month. She is just adorable with her cute little face!

 

I paired her up with a cauldron that I cut with my Cricut Expression and the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge.

 

All the cardstock here is from the September Peachy Picks kit.

 

I added a heat embossed spider web and spider that is also new for September. It is f

rom one of the add-on sets. PK-130 Spider and Web. The sentiment is also from this set.

What's Brewin'? ~ SMS Terrific Tuesday Challenge

Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today is Scrappy Moms Stamps Tacky Tuesday Challenge and we are having some fun! The challenge this week is to use Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge. Don't own that cartridge? Don't worry you can use another or even an SVG cut that is a similar cut found on Mini Monsters. We just want you to have fun.

I created a shaped card for this challenge.

Here's a little close up of the sentiment and toad.

To create this card, I welded the shadow layers of the couldron and toad together in my gypsy. I then cut all my layer pieces and put it together. I used glossy accents on the witches brew and popped the bubbles. I asldo popped up my toad. I added lime green stickles to his spots and used 2 sets of Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment and PK-691 Make a monster Face 1 1/8. I colored in the whites with my gel pen and added Ranger Glossy Accents. My patterned paper is from K&Company's Spooktacular line and another older line. The little spider is a button that I picked up from Hobby Lobby. I had to cut off the shank so that it would lay flat. I added some Halloween twine to finish it off.

My sentiment was heat embossed in white so that it would show up on the black designer paper. This sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "A Haunting We Will Go!" set. This is from last year but it is still a fun set. Have a look:

Aren't these sentiments just the most fun! They stamp beautifully, too!

Now head on over to Scrappy Moms Stamps to see what my fellow designers have made. Then whip something for the challenge. We would love for you to join us!

Have a wonderfully, scrappy day!

A Real Treat

Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today's project is something I put together for the challenge over at My Craft Spot. Challenge #21 is Gift Bags / Boxes. I was thrilled when I found out that Kimberly extended the deadline for this challenge as I had a little time to play this weekend.

For my treat box I used an SVG file that I had purchased from SVG Cuts entitled Tied Surprise Gift Boxes. I used the flower box but got rid of the flower. I inked all of edges of my box in black.

I decided to use patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Black Bird collection. I purchased this from Shop Pumpkin Spice. I highly recommend this online store as the prices are fabulous and shipping is very reasonable.

I trimmed the box in My Craft Spot's gorgeous Crinkle Ribbon. I used Candied Orange and inked it with black ink to go with the look of the paper. I, also, used Midnight Black to tie my box. Kimberly's Crinkle Ribbon is absolutely gorgeous and I love working with it.

For my cuts, I used the spider web from Mini Monsters and removed the spider. I inked the edges and applied Ranger Glossy Accents. My spider came from Paper Doll Dress Up. I hid the face using my Gypsy. I stamped his face with Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment.

Since I was stamping on black cardstock I decided to heat emboss the face with black embossing powder to help it stand out. This is a little trick I learned from Kimberly at My Craft Spot. :) I used my white gel pen to fill in the eyes. I then attached my spider to the web with a little white thread and popped him up with some foam tape.

My sentiment comes from Scrappy Moms Stamps ( my favorite! ). It is from the "A Haunting We Will Go" set. I heat embossed the sentiment in black, also. I love how it turned out.

I added a little brad from Studio G and my little gift box was complete!

I hope you will come back. On Wednesday I have a special project to share with you. I am the guest designer on Pink By Design!

Thanks for stopping and Happy Crafting!!

You're Out of This World!

Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together.

Today’s card was made for my nephew. His birthday was yesterday. I tried to make something that would appeal to an 11 year old boy. I don’t know if I hit the mark or not!

I went with a space theme. I used B is for Boy Cricut Lite cartridge to cut my rocket ship and little astronaut. Mini Monsters was used to cut my alien monster. I hand cut the ground that they are standing on and used my Cuttlebug and the Spots and Dots embossing folder for some texture. The background paper comes from My Mind's Eye Party Time stack.

Here is a close up of my little guys face. I used the hide contour feature on my Gypsy to hide his face. I then stamped it with Peachy Keen Stamps PK-642 Boy Mates Face Assortment. I added some silver Stickles to his helmet and then covered his face and helmet with Ranger Glossy Accents. For my monster I decided to give him some googly eyes and only use the nose and mouth of Peachy Keen Stamps PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment. I added some Starry Night Stickles to his spots.

My sentiment is fom Scrappy Moms Stamps "A Haunting We Will Go" set. I thought it was perfect for this card. I decided to use black embssing powder to heat emboss it. I love the way it came out!

Some other miscellanous items I used for this card were gems, Black Diamond Stickles, white and black gel pens, foam tape, and my trusty ATG.

Just a reminder, Scrappy Moms Stamps will be giving away an acrylic block to all customers who order this week and put “FCCB” in the instructions to seller sections of Pay Pal.

You can view all 22 sets that are available – HERE

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!
