Cupcake Love

Happy Monday!

 

It's cold here in the Wisconsin AND it is only going to become colder as the day progresses! 

You KNOW it's cold when schools are already closed for tomorrow.....*GASP*....... BRRRRRRRRR

 

So you can bet that I'm going to stay inside with the family...and craft as much as the kids will allow me to.  But before I started cleaning and scrapping, I want to share a card I created while inside this weekend preparing for the cold weather to arrive......

 

The cute 'cupcake chef' & sentiment is from the new January SOTM set from Peachy Keen Stamps.

 

 

Don't you just love the little chef's mustache?  To accent his 'stache, I used some Bella Blvd paper that I've had for ages.  The mustaches and hearts were perfect for this image. 

 

I colored my stamped image with Copics and added some Stickles (Glam Pink/Cupcake - Silver/Chef) for highlights.   The scallop was cut using my Fiskars Fuse and edged with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink.  The image looked plain...so I added some Tea Dye Distress Stickles around the edge too. 

 

 

On the inside of the card I second generation stamped the chef to give just the lightest impression. 

The sentiment is from the Peachy Keen January 2013 SOTM set.  The papers are just scraps from the front of the card.   

 

 

 

I am linking my card to the Peachy Keen Stamps January 2014 Release Linky Party.

Appreciation

 

 

I created a card with my daughter's dance coaches in mind.

 

 

I used a Mojo Monday sketch.  The sentiment is from the Peachy Keens September 2012 SOTM set.  To glam up this card, I used Orange Peel, Eucalyptus, and Silver Stickles on the buttons and to frame the sentiment.   

 

 

 

 

 

 



Peachy Keen Stamps Challlenge - 3D & Ribbon

Happy Wednesday!

 

I wanted to share with you my creation for

 

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-28 :: 3-D Objects :: Wrap It In Ribbon.
 

 

 

I didn't know if I was going to be able to join in this week's PKS challenge.  It's been a very challenging week (not to mention the previous weekend) here in the Graham household.  But I did it!  =) 

 

I used a file from the silhouette store and modified it for what I wanted.  I added the hats, hat bands with Stickles, and took off the snowflakes that were originally on two of the snowmen's tummies.  And of course, I added PKS faces!  In fact I used the Winter Faces Assortment.  I colored their adorable carrot noses with Copics and added Orange Peel Stickles.  I also colored their pipes with Copics and highlighted with chalk and gel pen. 

 

For my ribbon, I made cute little scarves for the snowmen.  (The braid handle was created with the same ribbon.)

 

Have a great day!

 

 

 

Relax and Enjoy

Happy Wednesday!

 

Today I'm sharing with you a creation inspired by the Peachy Keen Stamps challenge 13-26 -Anything Goes!

 

 

 

As a little girl, I LOVED hot air balloons. I had stationary, book covers, folders... you name, I had it in hot air balloon print. 

 

For this challenge, a Peachy Keen Stamps is required.  I used the sentiment, Relax and Enjoy, from the PK-206 stamp set.  It think it's perfect!  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black ink on white cardstock.  Then I enhanced it with Antique Linen Distress ink to better fit the feel I wanted.   

I added some Diamond Stickles to the balloon. It wouldn't have been complete without Stickles.

 

 For this card, I used a new technique to me - clouds for the background.   It took me three different attempts to not have some seriously noticable errors in it. =) 

The hot air balloon is from the Silhoutte Online Store, and it included two clouds.  I cut those out with a scrap piece of grey cardstock.  Then used them as templates with Stormy Sky distress ink for the background.  I like the softer, relaxing feel that the Storym Sky gives you compared to a more traditional blue, such as Broken China or Tumbled Glass Distress ink. 

 

 

I used 3 Girl Jam ribbon in Hot Chocolate to marry the background and sentiment pieces.

The hot air balloon is on some foam squares to bring it up off the background.  I think it gives it more of a 'floating in the air' feel.  Don't you? 

 



 

 

 

 

Star Spangled Stickles Blog Hop

Welcome to the Star Spangled Blog Hop brought to you by the    All that Stickles design team!

"Oh say can you see... by the gleam of Stickles. Oh so proudly we post, our patriotic projects" (if you sing it to the tune of Star Spangled Banner, we promise it makes sense ;)

In non-musical form: Today, the All that Stickles design team has created a variety of patriotic-themed projects using our favorite sparkly embellishment - Stickles!


For my project I made.............

 Excuse the homemade collectables and Skylanders toys.... I have kids and I display all their artwork and fun on our mantel.  =)


I used Lori Whitlock's 3D star file from the Silouette store. I embellished with stars and stripes from Paper Studio's Vintage Nation Cardstock Pad. I added Rock Candy Distress Stickles. I inked the edges of the star to give them a bit more depth.

My creation.......................

 

My 13th wedding anniversary is this month.  So I thought it would be fun to create this vintage card with my husband in mind.  He's a Navy veteran and when I saw this image, I knew that this was the type of feel I wanted for this card.
