Hey Cupcake! ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Inspiration

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today I am sharing inspiration here and on the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog.

I got out my My Mind's Eye Sweetest Thing Tangarine 6x6 paper pad. I have loved this pad and it's apparent because I only have a few sheets left! Thankfully it is still available at Shop Pumpkin Spice!

Once I chose my papers I stamped the cupcake from My Pink Stamper Birthday Doodles stamp set three times. I colored the cupcake with my Copic Markers and added some Orange Peel Stickles to the flames. The sentiment is also from My Pink Stamper Birthday Doodles set.

Shop Pumpkin Spice has many items on sale. Make sure to check out the store HERE or HERE to see all the great deals!

Thank you for joining me today!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

NSD hourly Challenge at Shop Pumpkin Spice!

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together and the Shop Pumpkin Spice May Blog Hop!

 

This month we are celebrating National Scrapbooking Day with a Challenge on Every Stop. 

 

The twist.... Design Team members will be posting Hourly starting at 8 AM est.

 

The last challenge was posted on Lezlye's Blog: Lezlye's Ink and Paper Creations and the Pumpkin Spice Blog.  I have posted the whole blog list at end of this post so you can easily see what you may have missed so far.

 

 Here is what I have created today. These are 2 shaped cards and I used scraps to create them.

 

 

For this card, I used Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge to create the base , the scallop, and the hat.

 

The base was cut from Bazzill Kraft cardstock. All of my scraps came from Echo Park's Paradise Beach 6x6 paper pad. This is a fun and colorful collection of beach and summer prints.

 

I added a brad from MME The Sweetest Thing Sunshine Brads and added some baker's twine in Blossom from The Twinery.

 

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Birthday Doodles set and stamped with My Pink Stamper's Darkest Night ink.

 

To finish my card off, I added some faux stitiching with my white gel pen and a ribbon from my stash.

 

Here you can see how this card folds open. The Cricut cartridge has this shape built right in.

 

For my second card, I started with the same Bazzill Kraft cardstock but this time I used 2 circles that I cut from Accent Essentials Cricut cartridge. In the picture below it shows how I attached them to create the base. The circle and starburst shape also came from Accent Essentials.

 

I cut the party hat from Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge.

 

My scraps for this card came form MME The Sweetest Thing "Tangarine" 6x6 pad. I LOVE the prints in the collection. They are just so pretty.

 

I made a pom pom from The Twinery Baker's Twine in Mandarin for some embellishment.

 

This sentiment is also from My Pink Stamper's Birthday Doodles set and stamped with MPS Darkest Night Ink.

 

To make a shaped card without using software to weld your images togetheris to cut 2 of the same shape. Score one of the shapes about 1 1/2 inches from the edge and just add adhesive to that part. It's very easy and the plus side is that your shapes will not have a flattened side.

 

 

Ok, so here is my challenge:

 

Make a shaped card using your scraps!

Challenge submissions must be posted on the Pumpkin Spice Blog. I will be picking the winner from all the submissions for this challenge only. I cannot wait to see your creation!

Friends Listen... ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Inspiration

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today I am sharing a card that I put together for inspiration on the Pumpkin Spice Blog.

 

 

I love these beautiful papers from Carta Bella's Traditions 6x6 paper pad. I knew I wanted to use them but I needed a little inspiration.

 

When I am having trouble with a layout, many times I will turn to a sketch for inspiration. For today's card I used Deconstructed Sketch #99.

 

 

 

The papers are gorgeous with all these flowers. I thought it worked perfectly with the current "Back to Nature" challenge on the Pumpkin Spice Blog. You can find all the information for the current challenge --> HERE.

 

The following products I used can be found at Shop Pumpkin Spice at at least 30% off retail:

 

Carta Bella Traditions 6x6 paper pad

Bazzill Cardstock in Kraft

Jute rope

My Pink Stamper "Girlie Sayings"

My Pink Stamper "Texas Chocolate" Hybrid Ink

Acrylic Block sized at 3 1/2"

 

Other items used:

 

Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge ~ scallop

Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge ~ scallop circle

Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge ~ heart

Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye

Button from my stash

 

Saturday, May 4th is National Scrapbooking Day and the Shop Pumpkin Spice girls are working hard to bring you a load of inspiration, along with plenty of challenges that will run throughout the day with a chance to win some prizes! I hope you will join us!

 

 

For more inspiration, you can find something new on the Pumpkin Spice Blog every day of the week!

 

That's it for me today.

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPS Inspiration ~ Tags

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

If you are looking for the PKS Farewell Blog Hop click HERE

 

I am back with more inspiration from Shop Pumpkin Spice.

 

Today I bring several Christmas tags I created with items from the "Winterland Fun" Kit.

 

 

The only thing that is not part of the kit is my solid green paper.

 

My daughter needed some tags for some Christmas gifts so I set to make the tags as she requested. The first tag had to be pretty. So this is what I came up with.

 

 

I cut this tag from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge. The poinsettia comes from the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge. I cut the petal layer 3 times, layered it, then added one of the flowers that comes in the kit. To that, I added some Frosted Lace Stickles, card candy dot, and topped it with Glossy accents. I attached this beautiful ribbon. All of the embellishments are in the kit plus so much more!

 

For this tag, I cut the base from Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and the gift from Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge. Again, I added some Frosted Lace Stickles and card candy. The sentiment is from MPS Birthday Doodles stamp set (retired).  As you can see, I was mimicking the wrapping paper and I think I did a good job!

 

This last tag is one that matches the wrapping paper. I cut the 2 circles and the red snowflake from Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge. This one was really simple. All I really needed to do was pop it up and add some card candy and it was finished.

 

You can still purchase the "Winterland Fun" kit. Just head on over the Shop Pumpkin Spice Store and snatch it up before it is gone!

 

This is my last 2012 post for Shop Pumpkin Spice. I will be back for another year with Denine and all the 2013 design team girls in January. Look for some great new stuff happening here on the blog.

 

Have a Merry Christmas, Everyone!

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

Sweet Sixteen ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Inspiration!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

This is my second post today. You can check out my Peachy Keen Stamps post by clicking --> HERE

Or you can just scroll down. :)

Today is a special posting day for the Pumpkin Spice Blog. Several of the designers have created some extra inspiration for you.

I created a card using products that can be found at Shop Pumpkin Spice.

I have to say that this card came out just the way I imagined it. It was really simple to put together, too.

This fun paper is from Fancy Pants Designs Be You 6x6 paper pad. It has fun colors and patterns that I thought would be perfect for a Sweet 16 card.

I added some twine and a Prima flower. The brad is from My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy Tickled Pink Brads.

The number 16 was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Kate's ABC's cartridge. I welded the shadow using my Gypsy and then layered the patterned paper on top.

My sentiment inside and out are both from My Pink Stamps Girlie Doodles.

I've added links to all the product I used so that you can easily find them on Shop Pumpkin Spice. Although once you are there you may be tempted to look around even more. It is chock full of great designer papers, embellishments, stamps, and more!

Check out the Pumpkin Spice Blog to see all the wonderful inspiration that is being shared.
