Take time... ~ SMS Terrific Tuesday Challenge

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

There is a new Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at Scrappy Moms Stamps. The challenge for this week is "Spring is Blooming." Include flowers on your project.

 

 

For my card I cut flowers from the Forever Young Cricut cartridge and leaves from Accent Essentials. I handcut the stems and used a Fiscars punch for the grass. For the centers of my flowers I added some buttons from my stash and tied bows in the center using Trendy Twine Baker's Twine.

 

My card base was created using my Gypsy and welding 2 tag shapes from A Child's Year Cricut cartridge.

 

My sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Fun Celebrations" set. I thought it was perfect.

 

Take a look at all the inspiration to be had on the Scrappy Moms Stamps blog. Visit each of their blogs and give them a little love. Then create your own "Spring is Blooming" project and link up for your chance to win a stamp set of your choice.

 

Later this week Scrappy Moms Stamps will be releasing 2 new sets you are sure to get excited about! Come back later to see what I have created using the new sets.

 

Thanks for stopping!

 

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

 

You Make Me Smile ~ PKS Release Challenge

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

I am just popping on real quick to share the card I made for the PKS April Release Challenge 1 "Rainy Day." This challenge is found on the Peachy Keen Connection and it ends tonight!

 

 

I created this card with the newest PK Stamp of the Month for April. I stamped the cute little duck on some patterned paper and cut her out. The rain boots were cut from the Paisley Cricut cartridge and the puddle was cut from Create A Critter cartridge.

 

The sentiment is from last month's release: PK-193 Baby Easter Bunny.

 

You still have a few more hours before the challenge ends and for your chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Peachy Keen Stamps store.  Hurry! Link up by 10:00 PM est. over at the Peachy Keen Connection.

Cardz TV Challenge #27 ~ Mix It Up

Happy Bird-day! ~Peachy Keen Inspiration and Challenge

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today I am providing a little Peachy Keen inspiration here and on the Peachy Keen Blog.

 

I created this card with the Birthday Challenge in mind that is currently open on the Peachy Keen Connection.

 

 

I used the cute little chicks that are on the brand new PKSC-16 April 2013. This set was just released on Friday. I colored these cuties with Copic markers and added some glossy accents the their eyes. I placed them in a nest that I cut from the Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge.

 

I cut a shape from Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and stamped it with PK-107 Cloudy Day background stamp. This is one of favorite background stamps. I find myself using it quite often.  The ink I used was very pale so it is hard to see in the photo.

 

For more definition, I inked all of the edges of my cuts with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

 

Since this is a birthday challenge I cut some balloons from Create-A-Critter Critcut cartridge. I added some Twinery Baker's Twine in Maraschino, Denim, and Lemon Drop and a button from my stash.

 

I used sentiments from PK-142 Lil' Tweets Bird Day and PKSC-12 December 2012.

 

Here's a another close up for these adorable chicks:

 

There is still time to join in the April release challenges for you chance to win a $25 gift certificate. You have until Tuesday, April 9th at midnight CST. You can get all the details on the Peachy Keen Connection.

 

Just a reminder that there is a special sale going on right now.

Enjoy this Day ~ SPS Inspiration

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today I am sharing a card that I made using products from Shop Pumpkin Spice.

 

I thought I would use the current Pumpkin Spice Challenge for my inspiration. The challenge this week is to create something with "Spring Animal or Insects."

 

I have always wanted to cut this jar of butterflies from Kate's ABC Cricut cartridge and this challenge was perfect.

 

 

My patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing "Tangerine" 6x6 pad. I love the beautiful colors and patterns in this pad! I layered it on some kraft cardstock. I added some yellow ribbon from my stash and topped it with a brad from My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing "Sunshine" decorative brads.

 

I added a bit of The Twinery Baker's Twine in Canteloupe to embellish the jar.

 

I chose a sentiment from Paper Smooches Flap Happy set.

 

You can find these products and so much more at Shop Pumpkin Spice and the prices are always at least 30% off retail.

 

If you would like to join in the Pumpkin Spice Weekly Challenge then be sure to head on over to the Pumpkin Spice Blog. You have until Friday 9 PM est to link your project. We would love for you to join in!

 

Thank you for joining me today!

 

Until next time...

A Note To Cheer You ~ PKS April Sneak Peek

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

I am so excited today! Our internet is finally up and running AND I get to share my first Peachy Peek for this month's release! Yay!

 

You are in for a real treat! Kathy amazes us each and every month and I am thrilled to share what I have created with these wonderful stamps!

 

 

For my first peek, I couldn't wait to use this cute little bee and hive from the newest Stamp of the Month for April. I colored the bee and hive with Copic markers. I added some Star Dust Stickles to the bee's wings and I added some pen work to the hive.

 

The branch was cut from the Create A Critter cartridge and my background shape was cut from Elegant Edges. The background shape was stamped with PK-107 Cloud Day background stamp.

 

My yellow paper was stamped with MSS-BK-22 Honeycomb background stamp.. I heat embossed it with some clear embossing ink and then inked it up with Ranger Spiced Marmalade.

 

To finish off the card I added some jute rope and a button from my stash.

 

I thought the sentiment from PK-194 Wise Crack Sentiments was perfect to go with this cute bee!

 

Here is a bit of a close up:

 

These stamps, as well as, several add-on sets will be revealed on Friday, April 5th, at 7:00 PM est. over on the Peachy Keen Connection. After the party you will be able to purchase them. I hope you will join us!
