Hi Scrappy Friends! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

 

Today I am bringing you inspiration using products that you can purchase from Shop Pumpkin Spice.

For my card I used the following products:

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!

Sweet as you are! ~ PKS Inspiration!

Hi Peachies!Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

It's my turn to post on the Peachy Keen Blog and I have a cute gift bag to share.

 I love buying plain kraft bags and decorating them to make them look extra special for the recipient. Peachifiying them is always fun!

I love Peachy Keen Stamps faces! My cherries were on the small size but the faces from PK-123 Darren and Laura Lee worked perfectly. The faces are looking at each other, isn't that just too cute!

I chose a sentiment from PK-106 With a Cherry on Top! This set has a lot of interchangeable sentiments that give you a lot of options.

Other items used:

Lacy Labels Cricut Lite cartridge

Country Life cartridge

My Mind's Eye "Twinkle Twinkle Little Girl"

My Mind's Eye "Fine and Dandy Girl"

Ranger Glossy Accents

Ranger Distress Ink "Tea Dye"

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!

Aged to Perfection!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

Today I am sharing a card that I made for my father-in-law's 87th birthday. He has come to enjoy getting handmade cards from me and so I HAVE to make them for him. :)

I know many of you struggle with male cards just as I do. Not only is it a challenge for me to make a male card, it is also a challenge to come up with an idea for my father-in-law that I have not already done.

The phrase, "Aged to Perfection," kept going through my mind and so that is how this card came about.

These aren't the best pictures but I think you get the idea.

Here is what was used:

Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge ~ wine

From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge ~ cheese ( I didn't used the swiss layer )

Lacy Labels Cricut Lite cartridge ~ sentiment mat and shadow

Fiscar's edge punch

Echo Park Papers

Sentiment is computer generated

Acetate for the top layer of the wine bottle

Well, there you have it! I hope it has given you an idea to use for a future card.

Thanks for stopping!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!
