I'm a 'sucker' for you

Happy Friday!!!

 

It is SO cold here today....single digit highs.  But the sun is out...so ALL is well in our Winter World.  And because of the temps (and I cleaned the house like crazy yesterday washing the family's bedding and other laundry), today is a scrappy day for me. YAY!!!!   Before I get to scrapping my bottom off, I wanted to share with you a cute little card I make a few days ago...

 

 

 

My inspiration for this card was two fold....the current PKS Sketch challenge (see sketch below) and Valentine's Day. 

 

 

I used Miss Kate's Lollipop Couple for my focal point (and hearts).  For her cute little face, I used Peachy Keen Stamps January SOTM.  I highlighted the face with white gel pen and dry chalk.  The lollipop is on pop dots, along with the 'floating' hearts..

 

The paper is from some loose 6x6 in my stash.  The flatback pearls are from Miriam's Crafting Supplies.   

 

 

The inside says "I'm a 'Sucker' for you." 

Just perfect for a special little one.  ;-)

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas and A Ginger

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's my day over at Get Inky Stamps. 

 

For my project, I created a Christmas card, using Blue Moon's Holiday 2013 Stamp set. 

 

 

I used a Silhouette file for the base of the card (the gingerbreak pop out).

 

Once the pieces were cut and assembled, I stamped the front with a star, from the Holiday stamp set, in Versamark Ink. 

The gingerbread man on the front of the card was stamped on Kraft cardstock, hand cut, and embellished with Liquid Applique. 

 

The inside of the card, was embellished with Stickles, of course. 

 

 

 

And once the Stickles were dry, Merry Christmas (also from the stamp set) was stamped, colored with white gel pen and Frosted Lace Stickles. 

 

My daughter saw the card and immediately took possession of it to give to her friend. 

How sweet is that? 

 

 

 

 



 

Ice Cream, Love, & Stamps

Happy Tuesday!!

 

 

Get Inky! Stamps current challenge is "Summer Sun Fun." 

 

When I was a little girl, I remember my parents loading us kids up in the Summer, in our pjs, and going to get ice cream. 

Here is my creation for the challenge..........................

 

 

 

I used Blue Moon Creations' Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set for the sentiment and the hearts.  

 

 

The ice cream cones and speech bubble frame are from the Silhouette Store.  I used Peachy Keen Stamps Snow Cuties Face Set for the ice cream cones.  A little twine bow and rhinestone to finish it off.

Peachy Keen Challenge

Happy Wednesday!

 

I am sharing with you this cute creation I made for the Peachy Keen Challenge.  This week's challenge was to create a 3D Birthday themed project.

 

 

Here's what I came up with......

 

 

I made a 3D ribbon for one of my kids to wear.  I used Peachy Keen Stamps' new face set, In The Garden.  I added a little birthday hat with a pom pom.  I think it shows off the cute, little face.  For the sentiment I used PKSC-12 stamp set.  I stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed with white.

 

 

 

Happy Wednesday!

 

I wanted to share with you a card I made inspired by the Get Inky! Bling Challenge.

 

 

 

I used the Sew Sweet Cupcakes from Get Inky! Stamps for the cupcake and the Happy Birthday sentiment. 

 

I stamped the cupake twice, once on white cardstock, and once on patterned paper.  I cut the 'wrapper' out of the patterned paper to use as an overlay. 

 

 

 

I colored the top of the cupcake with a light colored copic.  Then I stickled the paper and outer edge of the top of the cupcake.  The sentiment banner was created by stamping the sentiment with Memeno ink.  I cut the edges with a pair of shaped scissors.  Then I inked the edge with fluid chalk and finished it off with matching Stickles. 

 

Get Inky!'s challenge is live until the 27th.   The winner could receive this stamp set....
