Peachy Keen Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

It's time for the last challenge of 2012 on the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog. The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes!

 

That gives you all free reign to do whatever you want but you must be sure to use your Peachy Keen Stamps.

 

For this challenge, I created place cards for my family's Christmas table.

 

 

To start I cut my base from Stretch Your Imaginations Cricut Cartridge. I then stamped the all the deet and the sentiment shape from PKSC-11 November 2012.

 

Here are the boys place cards.

 

And these are the girls!

 

I added some greenery using a Martha Stewart punch. To that I add some bling. All of the names were hand written.

 

Head on over to the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog to see what all of the other designers have created then get out your Peachy Keen Stamps and created something, Anything!

 

Make sure to link up on the Blog. I can't wait to see what you create!

 

Until next time...

Happt crafting!

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

It's been a bit quiet on my blog this week but that is only because I have been busy creating for some upcoming design team projects.

 

Today's project was created as a gift for a special lady. I was asked to create a layout with a note and picture for a scrapbook that is being created as a birthday gift for her.

 

Now, I don't do a lot of scrapbooking because it takes me so long to feel like I am happy with the layout. I kept this one simple and tried to go with a quiet beauty.

 

 

I used the following items to create this layout:

 

Cricut Expression and Gyspy

Baby Steps Cricut Cartridge ~ "grace" welded with my Gyspy

Stretch You Imaginations Cricut Cartridge ~ tag at the bottom

Market Street Stamps ~ MSS-BK-10 Vintage Notepad

Martha Stewart Punch

DCWV Rustic Stack

Flat Backed Pearls

Vintage Photo Distress Ink

 

My flowers were just cut from the designer paper. I didn't want the layout to be too bulky and these flowers are very pretty with a glossy overlay.

 

A few things coming up on blog:

 

Tomorrow, we will be hopping with ShopPumpkin Spice!

 

 

I have a cute, cute card that I cannot wait to share with you and since it's the season of giving, I may have a little somethin', somethin' for one lucky follower!

 

Also, tomorrow marks the beginning of the December sneak Peeks for Peachy Keen Stamps! The new stamps are fabulous as always! I've been working on several projects that I will be sharing over the next few days.

 

Well, that's it for me today. Thanks you so much for all your sweet, sweet comments. I read every one and it means a lot to me that you take the time to comment.

 

Until next time...

Happy crafting!

 

 

Excellent! ~ SMS Terrific Tuesday Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

For Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge we are going Retro!

What a fun challenge!

For my card I used a sentiment from the newly released Scrappy Moms Stamps "Blast from the Past!" This particular sentiment reminded my of the 80's and I just had to use it.

I used the Rock Princess Cricut cartridge and did a little paper piecing to get the pieces I wanted to use. I cut her face, arms, and legs out of white then used my Copics to color her skin. Her face is from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-112 Cherub Faces Assortment.

I placed my girl on a frame that was cut from the Stretch Your Imaginations Cricut cartridge. This is an oldie but a goodie!

Other  items used:

Echo Park Hello Summer

The Twinery Pink Sorbet Baker's Twine

Button from my stash

Fiscars Edge Punch

White Gel Pen

Fruit Punch Stickles

Cotton Candy Stickles

Check out all the sentiments that are included in "Blast from the Past!"

Head on over to Scrappy Moms Stamps to check out what the other designers have created then join us in this Retro challenge!

Thanks for stopping and checking out my projects!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Good Afternoon, Everyone! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. It is a beautiful day here in NC.

As some of you may know Emma over at My Creative Time has a challenge every Thursday called Throwback Thursday. She challenges you to use older cartridges. For this week's challenge we were to use New Arrival, but I don't own that one currently so I used Stretch Your Imaginations and Doodlecharms.

Here is the recipe:

Paper is from Papertrey Ink.

Stretch Your Imaginations cartridge ~ Baby p.70. I welded the shadow cuts in Design Studio. The I used the blackout feature for the baby and clothing. I also cut another bay for the inside of the card. These were all cut at 5 inches.

Doodlecharms ~ duck p.103. This was cut at 1/2 inch using the blackout feature.

Cuttlebug ~ Swiss Dots folder

Bottons and ribbon from my stash. I believe I purchased both of these from Walmart.

White gellyroll pen for stitching

The face was hand drawn. I'm very pleased with how this card came out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Card Set and Door Hanger

Here is a card set and door hanger I made for a swap that I am participating in.

I found the directions for this card box from Split Coast Stampers. I love this paper. I found it at Hobby Lobby. I used Accent Essentials for the scalloped squares and Opposites Attract for the "K".
I altered this door hanger for my partner. I painted this with acrylic paint in sky blue. I cut the snowman from Stretch Your Imaginations using the shadow feature. I added an orange gem for the nose and used Rain Dots for the eyes, mouth, and buttons. I added snow flakes using white acrylic paint. I used Modge Podge to glue the snowman onto the door holder. I then added snow using wall spackling. I just frosted it on and waited for it to dry. Once dry, I painted it with white acrylic paint. I then used Modge Podge to cover the whole thing and sprinkled Martha Stewart glitter while it was wet. Once dry I added a ribbon and snowflake. I really like the way this came out.

July MCPT Challenge

I made this card for the July MCPT challenge on the Cricut message board. I loved this image so much I went out and purchased the stamp! The only Cricut cut on this card is the tag under the sentiment. I cut the tag from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I used Prisma pencils and mineral spirits to color the image. I added some stickles to the flower and glass and I attached skittles with some glue dots. The sentiment is from Stampin Up!.
