Scrappy Moms Stamps Release ~ Day 2

Hi There Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

You can find the PKS Fairwell Blog Hop HERE

 

I am back with another look at Scrappy Moms Stamps newest release.

 

 

Here is a treat the I make every year. My kids love it. Since my son is unable to come home for Christmas because of his military commitment I wanted to send him some.

 

This is the recipe I use except I don't use the chocolate Chex. I use 5 cups Corn Chex and 3 cups Wheat Chex. I, also, drizzle both milk chocolate and white chocolate over the mix.

 

Chocolate Chex Caramel Crunch

 

I tied a simple bow to my bag of Chex mix and added a tag that I stamped with Scrappy Moms Stamps "Top That" set.

 

 

These are in stock and ready to ship!

 

You can get them at Scrappy Moms Stamps!

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

 

 

Christmas Wrappings

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

I have been busy getting gifts together for my son who is in the military. He is not able to be home for Christmas this year so I need to get his box in the mail today!!

 

I, of course, had to make a few things for him a little more special and I get to play along with a few challenges in the process!

 

The first is a gift card holder.

 

 

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More to make the pocket tag. I decorated it with MME Merry papers.

 

I cut the reindeer tag from Winter Woodland. I cut the top layer twice so that I could have my reindeer in white but the frame in patterned paper. I glittered the reindeer with Crystal Stickles. I added a felt snowflake that got some glitter and topped it with card candy. I added MME bakes twine to finish it off.

 

My next project is super simple.

 

 

I covered some Hershey nuggets with some seasonal paper that I had purchased at Hobby Lobby. I put them in some Pretzel bags that can be purchased in the Wilton section at Walmart.

 

I added a tag that I made using Scrappy Moms Stamps "Christmas Cheer!" I punched it with a circle punch and layered it on a scallop that I had punched.

 

I tied everything off with ribbon from my stash.

 

I am entering this in the following challenges:

 

My Sheri Crafts ~ #100 It's A Wrap

The Kraft Journal ~ Anything Goes

My Craft Spot ~ #76 Wrap It Up!

Ribbon Carousel ~ Holiday Spirit

DL ART ~ Thankful Thursday Red and Green

 

It's a busy week at my house so I will be back Friday with a little special something.

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

 

My gift card made Top 3

 

 

 

My, oh my! ~ Scrappy Mom Stamps October Release

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today Scrappy Moms Stamps is relasing 2 new sentiment sets and, Boy, you are in for a treat!

 

I created another treat box and used a sentiment from
"Pick of the Patch!"

 

 

This box is not my idea but I loved it when I saw it. Renee from I came, I saw, I created did a whole series on pies and I just had to try it.

 

For this piece of pie I used Cricut Tag, Bags, Boxes, and More, Plantin SchoolBook, and Give A Hoot. There was some welding involved so you will need a Gypsy or Cricut Craft Room to recreate this.

 

Here are few more pics so that you can see this from every angle.

 

 

I can see me making more of these in the future. They would be great for Thanksgiving favors!

 

Here is a look at the brand new Scrappy Moms Stamps.

 

"Pick of the Patch"

 

 

"From the Inside Out!"

 

These stamps are in stock and ready to ship. So head on over the Scrappy Moms Stamps to get yours!

 

Make sure to check out all the Scrappy Moms Designers' blogs to see even more projects.

 

I will have a few more for you over the next few days!

 

Happy Friday, Y'all!

 

Trick or Treat Matchbox ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Inspiration

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today I am sharing a little project using products found at Shop Pumpkin Spice.

 

With Halloween just around the corner I wanted to make a quick and easy treat box.

 

 

For this box I used papers from My Mind's Eye Blackbird Collection. The box was cut from Cricut's Tags, Bags, Boxes, More.

 

To decorate my box I used this cute little witch from Penny Black's "Mimi Halloween" stamp set. She was colored with Copic markers and embellished with yellow Stickles.

 

To finish off my box, I added a spider web border and topped it with The Twinery "Mandarin" Baker's Twine, then filled my box with treats.

 

If you are looking for great cardstock and embellishments then Shop Pumpkin Spice is the store for you! There is a great selection of products and the prices can't be beat!

 

Be sure to check out the Pumpkin Spice Blog Monday thru Friday for inspiration!

 

Thanks for stopping!

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

 

 

PKS 2012 Halloween / Fall Blog Hop

This is the my second post for today. Scroll down to see my Scrappy Moms Stamps project.

 

Hi Peachy Fans! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today we are hopping! This is the 2012 Peachy Keen Stamps Halloween / Fall Blog Hop. The present and past Peachy Keen designers have so much for you to see.

 

If you have come here from Nikki's Blog: Scrappin Navy Wife, you are in the right place. If you just happened to be visiting my blog then you will want to start from the beginning at the Peachy Keen Blog.

 

Here is my Peachy project:

 

 

I created a treat box for you using the match box from  Cricut's Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. I cut it at 4.12 inches so that it could fit 6 mini Reeses Cups.

 

The box is decorated using papers from the September Peachy Picks Kit. I cut the little monster from Cricut's Mini Monsters cartridge. I hid his face and stamped him with Peachy Keen Stamps PK-692 Monster Mash Assortment. My sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps PKSC-09 September 2012.

 

Other items used:

Mathy Stewart  Drippy Goo Punch

Halloween Baker's Twine

Lime Green, Orange Stickles

Ranger Glossy Accents

Button

 

The Peachy Keen Stamps Club is a monthly recurring subscription that you can opt out of at any time.  You get an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of image and sentiment stamps eachy month at a special club price. The club is available for US residents, as well as, international residents.

 

You are still able to get these stamps without a subscription but the price will be different than the club price.

 

Now it's time to head to the next stop in the hop but before you go I need to share a few more things with you.

 

First, there is a Peachy Keen Stamps Sale happening right now! With every order you will receive a FREE Stamp. There are a few discounts to be had, too.

They will include: 1 $50 Gift Certificate and 4 $25 Gift Certificates. BUT you must leave a comment at each stop in the hop to have a chance to win. These gift certificates have been hidden and we do not know from which blogs the winners will be pulled. We will keep the comments open until Friday morning, when we will "officially" end the hop.

 

After you leave your comment, head on over to Lisa's Blog: 2 Angels in Heaven. She has something fabulous for you to see!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Skipping by... ~ Peachy Keen Challenge

Hi Crafty Peeps! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Are you ready for another Peachy Keen Challenge?

 

This week we have a sketch challenge for you.

 

 

THE CHALLENGE

Create a card or layout of your choice following the sketch provided.

We'll be awarding "TOP PEACH" to the player who uses their Peachy Keen Stamps this week and our two runner ups will receive a spiffy badge to display on their blog!

Guidelines:

- Design must be new

- Link up by 8/29 - 11:59 pm EST

 

For inspiration I decided to create a gift card holder/ note holder.

 

 

I had an extra tag pocket left over from a project I did earlier this week and decided that it would work perfectly for this challenge.

 

I cut the pocket from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. I, then, decorated it using PK-125 Recess Jump Rope Girl and papers from the March Peachy Picks kit.

 

I colored this little girl with my Copics and paper-pieced her dress.

 

I thought this could be a cute way to send a note so I grabbed my PKSC-08 August 2012 and stamped the notebook page and and mounted it on some patterned paper.

 

Tuned out cute, didn't it?

 

Make sure to check out the Peachy Keen Challenge page to see all the peachy projects my design team sisters have created.

 

I hope to see you join us!

 

Have a great weekend!

Happy Crafting!!

 

 

Just For You! ~ with Scrappy Moms Stamps

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

It's Tuesday and time for another Terrific Tuesday Challenge at Scrappy Moms Stamps!

This week's challenge is "Back to School."

I know many of you are sending the kids back to school this week and we wanted to give some inspiration for the start of the school year.

I thought it would be fitting to make a gift card holder that could be used as a teacher gift, helper gift, or reward for a job well done.

This was fast and simple to make.

The gift card holder was made using the Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More cartridge that was a free download for the Gypsy.

I sized it to fit a gift card. I then used the blackout feature as I don't like the tick marks. This would be great to make with double-sided cardstock but I don't have any that was large enough for this project. I cut the pocket tag from Kraft and then lined it with a smaller tag.

My patterned paper is My Mind's Eye "Fine and Dandy Boy." I love the colors in this stack!

I choose a sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Dancing in Circles" set. I used a 1.25 inch circle punch to cut it out and a 1.5 inch scallop punch and layered them together. I added a star that I cut from the Chore Chart Cricut Lite cartridge.

To finish things off I added a boy made from The Twinery "Lemon Drop" Baker's Twine that you can, also, purchase from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

This was so fast that you could easily make a few of these in a short period of time.

I hope you will join us this week. I cannot wait to see all your school projects!

Get over to Scrappy Moms Stamps and link up!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

Father's Day ~ FCCB Challenge Me Monday

Good Morning Everyone! It's Monday! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend.

Mondays mean it's time for another Challenge Me Monday challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. This week's challenge is all about Dad. Our sponsor this week is Whimsie Doodles. The winner of the challenge will get a gift certificate to their online store.

Some of the designers are using images from Whimsie Doodles. I decided to use the Happy Father's Day sentiment for my simple project. I don't know about you but making something for a guy is much harder than making something for a gal. For my project I decided to make a gift box for the special dad.

For this box I used an SVG file from SVG Cuts called Tied Surprise Gift Boxes. You can find the SVG HERE.

Here is a side view of the box.

And one more picture in the bright sunlight.

I used kraft cardstock for the base of my box. As you can see I kept it very simple. I selected what I thought was a masculine print from DCWV's Rustic Stack for the flap.

My sentiment, as I mentioned easlier, is from Whimsie Doodles. You are getting a special preview!

I cut the tag from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More.

I used Crinkle Ribbon in Golden Harvest. I purchased this from My Craft Spot. I love Kimberly's Crinkle Ribbon!

Everything was inked with Ranger's Distress ink in Tea Dye.

I hope you'll stop by Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to see all the wonderful inspiration my fellow design team members have put together for you. I know you will be inspired to create something and join us this week. Can't wait to see what you create.

I'm adding this to the Linking Party with Alex!

Happy Crafting!

Flower Shower

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Today's "Challenge Me Monday" over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is "Flower Shower." Use at least 3 flowers on your project and, as always, it must include a Cricut cut.

For today's project I have created a gift box. I had seen something simular out in the blog world but cannot remember where. There are just so many inspiring blogs out there that I some times have trouble remembering exactly where I have seen projects I have liked.

I used a double sided paper for this box so it would be pretty inside and out.

Here's a close up so you can see the dimension of the flowers:

And one more...

Here are the details:

Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More ~ Box

Gypsy Wanderings ~ Scalloped circle to create window

Kate's ABCs ~ Flowers

Echo Park Carstock ~ Life Is Good

Ranger Distress Ink ~ Tea Dye

Acetate for window ~ it's actually recycled cartridge packaging

Pop Dots for the middle flower

Head on over to Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to see what my fellow designers have created to inspire you today and then join us in the "Flower Shower!"

I am adding this to Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge over at My Creative Time. The challenge was to make a 3D item using an older cartridge. Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More definately qualifies!

Happy Crafting!

FCCB Spring Fling Cricut Crawl

Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together and the fifth Fantabulous Cricut Crawl...Fantabulous Cricut's version of a blog hop!

If you've come from visiting Sarah at Sarah’s Stamping and Stuff, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE.

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Spring Fling" project at FCCB!

How fun is that!

For my project I created some mini milk cartons that could be filled with jelly beans, robin’s eggs, or any type of treat. Now, I must confess that I forgot that our challenge was to used pink, green, and yellow. Oops! I know these would be so cute in those colors, too!

I really love how these turned out!

Before you go I would love to give away a brand new stamp set from Scrappy Moms Stamps. These are the same stamps I used in my project.

Before I tell you how you can win these stamps I need to tell you how I came to have this extra set. A few days before the release of Spring Fling I had ordered a set of stamps from Scrappy Moms. Well, when they released the Spring Fling set I ordered those. When I received my stamps I discovered that Mel and Tammy sent me 2 sets of the Spring Fling set. I contacted them and told them what had happened. Instead of having me send back the extra set they told me to keep them and they sent me the other set I had ordered. They were wonderful! So because they allowed me to keep the extra set I get to pass them on to one of you.

All you need to do to win these stamps is leave me a comment on this post with a way for me to contact you. You don’t have to be a follower but I would love it if you would. You have until Saturday, April 16, 12 midnight EST to comment. I will choose the winner via Random.org Sunday.

I also have another giveaway going on. You find the details—HERE.

Now it's your turn! Let's see your Spring Fling projects! Make sure to include a Cricut cut somewhere on your project and Pink, Green and Yellow!

Next stop...Tamara's blog, Happy Life Crafty Wife. Go see what she has in store for you today... And when you're done, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest!

Happy Crawling!

Giveaway is now closed.
