A Note of Thanks ~ SMS July Release

Hi Everyone!! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today I have another card featuring Scrappy Moms Stamps newest release.

For this card, I used a sentiment from the newly released "Many Thanks" set.

I paired it with this cute little pencil from Smiley Cards Cricut Cartridge which was a download for the Gypsy. I used all the layers and then added a small strip of silver cardstock that I ran through my Cuttlebug with the Candy Cane Stripes embossing folder. I added a cute face from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-294 The Cornies 1 1/8.

All my pattererned paper is from Echo Park's Sweet Day 6x6 pad. I used an EK Success punch to make my paper look like a page from a notebook. I added some Baker's Twine from The Twinery. You can purchase this from Scrappy Moms Stamps along with the Action Wobble that was added to my pencil. These are super fun!

For a finishing touch, I added some Ranger Gossy Accents to give some shine and dimension to the eyes.

Just look at all the sentiments that are included in the Scrappy Moms Stamps "Many Thanks" set:

You know that this set will be used over and over again.

Go check out all the wonderful things that Scrappy Moms Stamps has to offer.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Boy Crazy ~ SPS Inspiration

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today I am providing inspiration for Shop Pumpkin Spice and the Pumpkin Spice Blog.

Both my sons will be having birthdays next week so I needed to make some masculine cards. I don't know about you, but masculine cards are not the easiest things for me to make. No worries, though!

Shop Pumpkin Spice carries many lines of designer papers and you are sure to find something masculine. For my card, I turned to SPS Boy Crazy card kit.

This card is for my younger son. He will be 20 years old so I didn't want the card to look juvenile.

All the papers I have used here, with the exception of the black and white, is found in the kit. The button is also in the kit. Another place this patterned paper can be found is from Echo Park's "A Boy's Life."

I used my Cricut Expression, Gypsy, and the Smiley Cards download to cut out this ipod. I used my Gypsy to hide the face so that I could use a Peachy Keen face. I used PK-680 Retro Paper Doll Face Assortment. I used my Copics to color in the eyes and a little chalk on the cheeks.

I added some Twinery Baker's Twine in  Peapod and Lemondrop  and topped it off with a button that is found in the Boy Crazy kit. The sentiment is from the brand new My Pink Stamper's "Girly Doodles" set.

Head on over to Shop Pumpkin Spice to check out all the wonderful products Denine has to offer. You will not be disappointed.

Check out the Pumpkin Spice Blog for daily inspiration.

Thanks for stopping today.

I will have another masculine card tomorrow.

Until then...

Happy Crafting!

You Put The Happy...

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today is the day! Peachy Keen Stamps is releasing the new April Stamp of the Month, plus all the add ons, and the Peachy Picks. Haven't you just LOVED all the sneak peeks?!

I absolutely love the new background stamp, Cloudy Day! I can see using this stamp over and over!

I stamped the background with sky blue pigment ink. Pigment ink is the best ink to use with background stamps as it clings to stamp better.

I created this card in my Gypsy using a Child's Year for the card base, ZooBalloo for the grass, and Smiley Cards for the flowers.

The faces come from my favorite PK-293 The Cornies Face Assortment and the sentiment is from the newly released PK-105 Happy Hour.

Hurry over the Peachy Keen Stamps to purchase the newest sets!

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

Bundle of Joy Layout

Hi Everyone! It's me again! This is my second post for today. :)

If you are looking for the Fantabulous Cricut "Share the Love" Crawl click HERE.
For the Flaunt It Fridays "Paper Doll" Blog Hop click HERE.

Today is design team day at 40:31 Creations. There are 5 fabulous stamps sets created by Lauren and there will be soon, and I mean very soon, to be released sets on the horizon. These stamps are of high quality and stamp so crisp and clean. I love them.

Our project for today was to make a layout. Now, as many of you know from following my blog, I really don't do layouts. In fact, I have only ever done one before so... this is a struggle for me. I love that I am being stretched creatively. My vision I had at first is nothing like what I ended up creating but all I can say is that I LOVE the end result. 

Isn't this adorable! The picture is of my oldest daughter. She is about to turn 16 in a few weeks. Time sure does fly! Ok, on to the details:

Cricut Cartridges ~ New Arrival, airplane and banner with all the layers, Pooh and Friends, butterfly and layers, Smiley Cards, flowers and all the layers. I hid the faces on these using my Gypsy. Plantin Schoolbook to add a tiny rectangle to the stems of the flowers to make them longer. I welded these together in my Gypsy. Zooballoo for the grass. I also used my Gyspy here to weld 2 pieces together to make it long enough to fit across my 12 x 12 mat.

40:31 Creations ~ New Baby stamps.

Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-532 Simple Sallies 1 1/8 and PK-754 Critter Faces Set A Medium

White and Black Gelly Roll Pens for doodling.

White pigment ink ~ I used this to sponge on my background to give the look of clouds. It's very subtle.

Foam tape and ATG

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you visit 40:31 Creations to see what my fellow designers have created today. You will not be disappointed. You can check out Lauren's stamps HERE.

Happy Crafting!

I will be submitting this for The Pink Stamper challenge because it makes me smile! :)
