I love you with all my Heart ~ Clean & Simple Cards Day 4

Hi there! I am back today to share a card I created following a technique from Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Cards 4 ~ Day 4.

Day 4 focused on Adding Texture.

I chose to do the Faux Embossing Technique.

I created my background using My Creative Time's Stitched Sweethearts & XOXO dies. 

My sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps PKSC-01 January 2012. I heat embossed it in black embossing powder on some Vellum. The heart in colored in with a Copic marker and I added some Glosssy Accents on top. A few Pearl Satin Sequins from Neat & Tangled finished off the card.

I'm having a great time learning in the this class and have a few more techniques to try!

I will be back with more!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Star is Born ~ with Scrappy Moms Stamps

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today is the start of a new Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge. 

This new challenge is "All That Glitters!"

I decided to make another shaker card.

For my card, I took some midnight blue card stock and used some star dies to create my windows. I wanted a little texture so I ran my cardstock through my Big Shot with the D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. For some shine I sprayed it with some sparkle.

Here is a picture showing a bit more shine.

I filled my windows with some yellow sequins and added a sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Life's A Circus!"

Here is a look at this fun stamps set:

We want to see your "All that Glitters" projects so be sure to link them up on the Scrappy Moms Stamps Blog.

Thank you for joining me today!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

Christmas Tag ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Welcome to the First Saturday in December and the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop.

This month is all about tags.

If you came from June's Blog: Simply Elegant Paper Crafts then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon my blog and want to start from the beginning the head on over to June's blog because she is the first stop!!

Here is the tag I created for you today.

For m y tag I chose designer paper from My Mind's Eye Winter Wonderland (psst.. this paper is on sale!!). I have loved this paper so much that I have 2 pads and lots of scraps. So, I thought this would be a great way to use up some of those scraps.

I used the Stitched Hexy Dies from My Creative Time and cut out 10 hexies. I, then, created my tree. It was really easy and I love the way it came out. I topped the tress with some Twinery Baker's Twine and topped it with a brad from the coordinating My Mind's Eye Brads.

I added a little stitching around my tag and stapled on some ribbon from my stash.

There are many items on sale at Shop Pumpkin Spice make sure to visit the store HERE or HERE.

Now it's time to see what Heather has created!

Thank you for joining me today.

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

I Adore You ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Inspiration

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today I am sharing a little Shop Pumpkin Spice inspiration here and on the Pumpkin Spice Blog.

If you haven't noticed there is a trend happening now for CAS (Clean and Simple) cards. I am not usually clean and simple. :) I love adding layers and such but today I thought I would give it a try. I'm not sure how CAS this card is but I like the way it came out.

For my card today, I started with a piece of Bazzill 8.5" x 11" Classic White cardstock. I cut it in half and then scored it to measure 4.25" x 5.5" and rounded the corners. I stamped the card with a hexagon background stamps and used a hexagon die to cut some pretty patterns from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline "Dolled Up" paper. I randomly placed the cut hexagons on the card.

My sentiment is from Paper Smooches "We Connect" set. Once I placed my sentiment the way I wanted it I stamped it with Momento Black Ink. For some interest I added some sequins and then tied some "Honeydew" Baker's Twine around my card.  

Make sure you check out all the great products that Shop Pumpkin Spice has to offer HERE and HERE.

There's still time to enter into the Pumpkin Spice "Sunshine" Challenge. You can find all the details HERE.
