Rain or Shine......{PKS Challenge #1....plus a few more}

Hi Everyone!

I am back with my second post for today (to see my first one click HERE)

 and my entry card for the Peachy Keen Stamps release challenge #1

This is the challenge....

RAINY DAY CHALLENGE - Create whatever you'd like for this challenge, but give it a "Rany Day" Theme.  Stormy skies, clouds, raindrops, whatever your heart desires!  

and here is my take on it.

I hope you like it!!!

(if you click on the picture it comes up a lot nicer)

Here is a close-up of the adorable cloud with her cute PK face.

In the white spot below her face I ended up adding some glitter using glossy accents and sprinkling some CI Paint~ Resplendence Angel Dust.  I did the same thing with the rain drops also...

So what do you think????

I am pretty happy with the way this turned out.

Supplies Used:

Paper~ White cardstock, Studio Calico Here and There collection

Got Snow?

Hi everyone!

I can not believe that in one week it is Thanksgiving!

I have so much to do and it seems like not enough time...before we know it Christmas is here!!

I have a quick card to share

Awww he is too cute :)

Yesterday SVG Attic had All The Trimmings file as a freebie

and one of the cuts is this adorable penguin.

I cut him out at 3.5" and added PK~521 Winter Faces

colored in with my copics

A little stickles and some white gel pen doodles finished him up.

The sentiment is from Bugbites~Mistletoe Magic and I heat embossed it on.

The snowflake brads were some I picked up at the CKC convention at the Eyelet Outlet booth.

They are the quickset ones...no tools needed. Very cool, I set them with my pen.

Finally some white seam binding for my bow.

I hope you like it :)

This card is being entered over at:

The Pink Elephant~ Embossing

A La Card Monkey~ Sketch

Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of your day



Christmas is Claus for Celebration~ Another Bugbites Card w/ Mistletoe Stamp Set

Good Morning Everyone!

I have another card to share featuring Barb's over at BugBites new stamp set Mistletoe.

I just love this time of year...getting ready for the holidays. Making holiday cards and here is my newest card with this adorable stamp set.

I LOVE making twisted easel cards....I think they are super easy to make and look awesome when opened.

My card is the A2 size twisted easel using black cardstock for the base.

I layered the base with white cardstock and then red polka dot digi paper I received from Get Funky! as a prize.

The adorable Santa and the chimney are cut from Simply Charmed 3.5" using all the layers on Santa and all the layers but the face on the chimney (I hide the face with my gypsy)

Santa has some stickles on his hat and I added stickles to the chimney top to look like snow.

I used ribbon from my stash as well as Trendy Twine in Peppermint Stick.

The sentiment is stamped on a tag from The Digi Bistro~Stylish Edges

And how adorable is that sentiment?!?!

Love it and love how it fits so well with my card :)

So there you it...my final sneak at this adorable stamp set and I have to say I will be making LOTS more Christmas cards and using this awesome set.

Barb now has this set and her other new set Magic Spells up for sale over on her blog BugBites.

Make sure to hop over and pick up a set or two.

They are perfect for this upcoming holiday and Barb ships them super fast!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to be back later with some more cards to share!

Have a GREAT day!!



Merry Merry Merry Christmas w/Ava Chrismas Mistletoe Fairy~~ Chistmas Challenge Card

Another post for me today....that is 3!

For my Bugbites sneak click here

For The Digi Bistro This to That Challenge click here

I am on a roll and wanted to share this card with you today because I am pretty proud of it!

I so love the way it turned out that I am thinking of making another so I can keep one :) I am hoping that I have enough scraps to do that!!

I am already trying to get a jump start on my chrismas cards and since I usually send out anywhere between 60-100 I have my work cut out for me. I think I have 15 done so far....almost a quarter of the way there! Good thing I have 2 months to work on them :)

This card was put together originally for The Paper Players and  during my blog hopping I found several more challenges that this card fit.

Oh so here are at the details:

I used the sketch from The Paper Players

and paper from my stash....The paper was from My Mind's Eye Oh Christmas Tree Paper Pack.

The card is an A2 size on Kraft Cardstock matted with maroon cardstock and my pattern paper.

I attached brown seam binding in ribbons to each of my 3 panels.

All the cardstock was inked with Coffee Bean Pigment ink

My image is from Bugaboo Stamps~ Ava Chrismas Mistletoe Fairy

and I colored her with my copics.

For some fairy sparkle I added some stickles in Lime Green

The sentiment is from Bugbites~ All Year Round Stamp Set

So there you have it...what I think of as my super cute Christmas card...

I am entering this into the following Challenges:

The Paper Players~#65 Sketch

Totally Stampalicious~It's Got Wings

Celebrate The Occasion~#32 Include Ribbon

Paper Sundae's~ #88 Anything Goes

One Stitch At A Time~ #81 Favorites (anyone who follows me knows that

Bugaboo Stamps are my favorite)

Love To Crop~ Let's Scrap It!

My Craft Spot~ Monday Challenge #26 Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow :)

Another Sneak Peak at BugBites New Stamp Set~ Mistletoe

Good Morning Everyone!

I am here again with another sneak peak look at BugBites new stamp set

Mistletoe

Barb has done an awesome job with this adorable Christmas stamp set, I just know you will all LOVE it!

I have 2 cards to share...

For this card I used the cut from Create a Critter and all paper from my stash.

The star is a paper punch that I found in the bottom of my punches...yippee for me :)

Isn't the sentiment perfect?!?!?

Here is my second card. Another simple design, this one using a cut file I found browsing the Internet.

I lightly inked the edges and used homemade foam dots to attach.

My favorite .....my white gel pen for some doodles and

another sentiment from Bugbite's Mistletoe set.

Please hop over to Barb's blog~ BugBites and see what the other guest designers have to share.

Then in a couple of days Barb will have the BIG reveal of both new sets!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day :)

A Sneak Peak at Bugbites New Stamp Set~ Mistletoe

Morning Everyone!

I am so super excited to share this adorable stamp set preview with you for Barb over at Bugbites

She has done an amazing job with this set and I know you will all LOVE this set....I know I do :)

I have made a few cards using this set and I will share them over the course of the next few days...leading up to the release of Barb's 2 new sets this week.

Here is my first card using the Mistletoe Stamp Set

I made another shaker card! They are so much fun to make and I love the extra detail it adds to my card.

The stamped image is from Peachy Keen Stamps PK~M17 "Snow Much Love"

I colored the image with my copics,

C5,C10

E47

YR14

R39

For the shaker I used seed beads in clear and a baby blue. (my kids had a blast shaking this card)

The paper is baby blue and white card stock which I embossed with my cuttlebug snowflake folder.

I have an adorable mini snowflake punch that I punched out 3 snowflakes and used my irock to add some bling to the centers.

The sentiment is the cutest isn't it!?!?!

I knew when I saw it exactly what I wanted to do with it :)

I love how this all came together and love the fonts Barb used for this set.

I hope you enjoyed my card and will hop over to Bugbites to see the other designers sneak peak project.

Thanks for stopping by and I will have another preview on Tuesday.
