Howdy Partner! ~ Scrappy Moms Stamps April Release

Howdy! Welocom to my little space on the web!
 
I am back today to share another card I made using the new Scrappy Moms Stamps April release.
 
I pulled out an old Cricut cartridge for this one but it is an all time favorite.
 

For this card I used the Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge to create my little cowboy. The border was created by welding several horseshoes together using my Gypsy. I added a button and some jute rope to the top of the card to balance it out.
 
Here's a better look at my cowboy.
 

 
Doesn't he look cute with that Peachy Keen face! I used PK-145 Piles of 3/4 inch Smiles.
 
My sentiment is from the brand new Scrappy Moms Stamps "That's Entertainment!" set.
 
 
This set is so fun! You can see this set and so many more in the Scrappy Moms Store.
 
Make sure to check out all of the designers' blogs to see what they are creating with the new stamps.
 
We also have a special guest designer with us this month:
 
Until next time...
Happy Crafting!

No Place Like Home ~ Scrappy Moms Stamps April Release

Happy Saturday, Everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!
 
Today I am sharing a card that I created with the brand new Scrappy Moms Stamps release.
 
 
For this card, I used an image from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge.  I thought it worked perfectly with this Scrappy Moms Stamps sentiment. The sentiment is from the "That's Entertainment!" set.
 
 
This is a fun set with lots of quotes from movies and tv shows that I am sure many of us recognize.
 
I cut my image quite large and then cut the main image again but this time partly off the mat so it wouldn't cut the whole thing. I wanted to pop the roof on the birdhouse so I needed to create that layer since it did not have a seperate piece for the roof. For a little texture, I used the Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug embossing folder.

 
All my patterned paper is from Echo Park's "Sweet Day" 6x6 paper pad. I added a button from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Two "Blush" collection and baker's twine from My Mind's Eye "Happy Go Lucky "Together" twine.
 
A few accents were added with my white gel pen and everything was inked with Ranger Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.
 
I hope you like this sweet card!
 
The new stamps from Scrappy Moms Stamps are in stock and ready for shipping. You can go to the Scrappy Moms Store to see these and so many more!
 
Thanks for stopping today!
Until next time...
Happy Crafting!

Just Hatched ~ PKS Challenge

Hi there welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!
 
There is a new Peachy Keen Stamps challenge today.
 
THE CHALLENGE
Create a project using Peachy Keen Stamps. Anything goes!
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 4/24 - 11:59 pm EST
 
I decided to create birth announcements using some super cute Peachy Keen Stamps!
 
 
I made both a girl and boy version. To create theses cards I used the egg from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge and the babies from the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge.
 
Here is a close up of the boy:

 
And here is a close up of the girl:

 
The babies were cut out of Copic Express It paper then colored them with Copic markers and with Spectrum Noir markers.
 
I stamped their faces with PK-1201 The Moodies 1 1/8th. I added some Ranger Glossy Accents to the eyes for some shine.
 
I used patterned paper from doodlebug designs Sugar and Spice 6x6 pad and Snips and Snails 6x6 pad.
 
My sentiments are from the new mid-month release from Peachy Keen Stamps. Not only does this release work perfectly with the April Stamp of the Month, but it can be used with so many other Peachy Keen Stamps.  I used PK- 195 Honey Set. These are on sale today, along with several other sets. Check them out at the Peachy Keen Store.

Sending Prayers ~ Shop Pumpkin Spice Inspiration

Hi There! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!
 
Today I am sharing a little sumthin' sumthin' that I created using products I got from Shop Pumpkin Spice. I am, also, providing inspiration on the Pumpkin Spice Blog.
 
 
With the tragedy of the Boston bombing still in the air, this sentiment from Paper Smooches "Flap Happy" felt appropriate. The beautiful butterflies are also from this same set.
 
I love the soft pretty colors that come from the My Mind's Eye "Nostalgia" papers. They worked perfectly for the butterflies and my background.
 
This card came together quickly and would be easy to recreate.
 
Shop Pumpkin Spice has a wonderful selection of designer papers, stamps, and embellishments. The prices are very reasonable and the shipping is fast.
 
For daily inspiration, please visit the Pumpkin Spice Blog. There is also a new challenge every Saturday. You can check out the current challenge HERE.
 
Thank you for stopping!
 
Until next time...
Happy Crafting!
