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!

Here is what I created for you:

I really loved the blues tones in the photo so I went with it.

I decided to create a shaker card today. I haven't done that in a very long time!

For the focal point I stamped the jar from the newest Peachy Keen Stamps soon to be released PK-1338 Clear Canning Quart Jar. The jar was stamped 3 times, twice on cardstock and once on vellum. I trimmed the center from one of my cardstock images and adhered the layers together. Before I sealed it up I added some sequins from Neat and Tangled Winter Wonderland Sequin Mix.

I colored my jar with Copic markers as well as the pinecone and pine branches. The pinecone and branches are from PK-1341 Clearly Autumn Pint Jar Contents. I wanted a little sparkle on my pinecone so I touched all the edges with my Spica pen.

The background of my card was dry embossed with the Cuttlebug Embossing folder and the ribbon is from my stash.

The sentiment comes from PK-1341 Clearly Autumn Pint Jar Contents. These sets are so fun to play with and I can't wait to make a few more projects from them.

We would love for you to join us in the challenge. Head on over to the Peachy Keen Challenge Forum for all the details!

Let's Celebrate!

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today I am sharing a card that I created for the Little Tangles Color Challenge.

The challenge is to use the colors Grey, Yellow, & Pink.

Here is my card:

I know it may not look like it in the picture but the pinks really do match!! I had such a hard time getting a good picture of this card!

I used the strip of dots from Neat and Tangled Party Dots stamp set to create my background. I used Hero Arts shadow inks in Soft Granite, Butter Bar, and Bubble Gum alternating the stamp and the inks.

I cute a party hat from Simply Charmed and added a pom pom made from Timeless Twine Raspberry Lemonade Baker's Twine. I also added some Neat Tangled Satin Sequins in Pretty Pretty Pink and Summer Sun to the rim of the hat.

My sentiment is included in the Party Dots set and was stamped with Hero Arts Charcoal ink.

If you would like to join in the challenge you can find the details on the Little Tangles Blog.

That's it for me today!

Until next time...

Sparkle & Shine ~ Neat and Tangled Challenge

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

This week is a light design team week so I found I have a bit of time to play so, I thought I would try a few challenges.

The card I have for you today is for Little Tangles "Case the Birthday Bash Designer" challenge.

For my card, I decided to case Amy T's card. You can see her card HERE.

I used one of the newest released stamp sets from Neat and Tangled called "Merry and Bright." I stamped and paper-pieced the ornament. I added a few sparkles by embossing in Recollections Clear Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder and added a few gems for even more sparkle. The sentiment is from this same set. I just stamped it on a die cut that has been sitting on my desk for some time waiting to be used.

It's hard to see but I spritzed the ornament with some Sheer Shimmer Spritz. I was trying to get as my sparkle and shine as I could get!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Until next time...

Eat Cake ~ Little Tangles Challenge

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! My husband is redoing our half bath and it is looking so nice. While he is slaving away, I had some time in my craft room to put together a card for one of the Little Tangles Birthday Bash Challenges.

The card I created is for the Eat Cake challenge.

You can use your Neat and Tangled Stamps or if you don't have any Danielle is providing a few digis so you can play along.

For my card I used patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up 6x6 paper pad. I cut and layered in onto a 4.25 x 5.5 card base. I then did some stitching around the edge. I cut to borders out of the the same patterned paper with a scallop border punch. I then layered a strip of white cardstock on top that I had run through my printer using one of the free digis that Little Tangles has provided. I added some Neat Tangled Pretty Pretty Pink Satin Sequins between each phrase.

For my cake, I cut a small rectangle and ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I then stamped the heart border from Neat Tangled Kindness Matters stamp set in Hero Arts Bubble Gum shadow ink and fussy cut it so that I could add it to the top and bottom of my cake.

My candle is from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-106 With a Cherry on Top! I colored it with Copic markers and added Orange Peel and Yellow Stickles to the flame.

It's been a while since I played in any challenges. I really enjoyed putting this card together.

That's it for now.

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

 

This card won! I am a Top Tangle!!

 

 

Project Life Cards with Neat and Tangled

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping  Together!

It's been a busy time at my house with the beginning of school and I know that is the same with many of you.

Tonight I wanted to share a quick project that I created for one of the birthday challenges over at the Little Tangles Blog.

Neat and Tangled has been celebrating all month for its birthday.

Here is what I created for the Project Life challenge on the Little Tangles Blog.

I created two 3x4 journal cards using some patterned paper, Neat and Tangled Stamps and sequins.

For my first card, I used some Echo Park paper and stamped my sentiment with Kindness Matters. I used the little heart border that comes in the set to stamp on some Studio Calico wood veneer butterflies with some Hero Arts Shadow Ink in Bubble Gum. I added some Pretty Pretty Pink Satin Sequins to finish off the card.

For my next card I used the Dreams stamp that I got for free for placing an order. I stamped it the sentiment directly on my patterned paper and then paper pieced the banner. I started with a white banner but it seemed a little too bright so I colored it with my Copic markers. I, then off set it a bit just for some interest.

I punched a few clouds using my Fiscars cloud punches and ran them through my Cuttlebug to emboss them with the D'Vine Swirl folder. I chose some sparkly blue sequins from the Birthday Bash Sequin Assortment pack. Stitching was added with my white gel pen.

I am thrilled to finally join in one of the challenges over at Little Tangles and am hoping to join more.

Well, I am getting this linked up at the last minute, so I will leave you for now.

Until next time...

Happy Crafting! 

 

This project got an honorable mention!

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.
