Celebrate - Stars

Hello to all my crafty friends.

This will be the first of 2 posts today.

I got to work on some projects

yesterday for a couple of challenges.

My first project is a simple little

card I did for the

Peachy Keen - Oh My Stars Challenge

I know it is only March, but I had these cute

little stars already cut out from a previous project.

I believe they are from the Baby Steps cartridge.

My card is cut out using the My Creative Time

3x3 Trifold Card die. I first cut it out in

the dark blue paper, and then again with

the PP paper from Best Creations.

The cute little face is from the

Peachy Keen July SOTM set.

I added this little tag and sentiment using the

 My Creative Time Chunky Jar Accesories Set.

I tied it on with Midnight Blue and

Maraschino twine from Trendy Twine.



Pot of Gold

Hello and Happy Monday!!

How are all my crafty friends today?
I am doing good, unfortunately I had to go
back to work today after being off for a month
with my foot surgery.  Everything went great, so I
had no more excuses for not going back to work...LOL

I have a fun project to share with you today
that I made to enter in a few challenges.

I made this little treat box with the

pillow box from Art Philosophy cut at 6".

The foil paper is DCWV "Green Tea" Stack.

I added a double belly band around the box.

I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch

on the first layer, and then embossed the

second layer with a Shamrock Folder from

the Cuttlebug Companion Folder

from Simply Charmed.  For this layer,

I used Tim Holtz Kraft-Core

cardstock from Coordinations.

I then sanded it.

Next I cut this cute little Pot of Gold from

Simply Charmed at 2"

 I added his cute little face
from Peachy Keen's "Piles of Smiles"
stamp set.  The gold coins were cut
from some gold foil paper.

I used my stylus to emboss some lines

on the coins to define them better.

I attached the pot of gold to the box

with an Action Wobble.

I also cut some Shamrocks from foil paper

using the My Creative Time

"You're My Pot of Gold"

stamp and die set.

The sentiment below is from the same set.

The sentiment was stamped onto
a Ticket cut from the
My Creative Time
"Stiched Fun Ticket Dies"
I added some Tim Holtz
Distress Ink in Peeled Paint.

I added some gold twine to finish it off!!

I got my inspiration for this project from
page 23 of the March Issue of the Cricut Magazine.
Gwen Lords made this adorable box.

I will be entering this into the following challenges:
FCCB - Fun with Puns
Little Scrap Pieces - Emboss It
Cut It Up - Pinterest Inspired

My Craft Spot - Pop It Up
Cardz TV - Luck of the Irish

Happy Day

Hello to All My Crafty Friends.

I have a sweet little card to share with you today,

that I made for a few challenges.

The first challenge is the
Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge.
Here is the sketch:



Here is my take on the sketch

I started with paper from My Mind's Eye.

I embossied the flowered paper with

the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder

and the yellow paper with a folder

from the Damask Decor set.

I inked each side with some

Tim Holtz Distress ink

in Old Paper and Weathered Wood.

I used one of the adorable fairy stamps from

the Peachy Keen June 2012 SOTM.

I colored her in with my Stampin' Up markers.

I added some Stickles in Fruit Punch, Waterfall

and Stardust to make her sparkle!

The doily border is a new We R Memory Keepers

punch that I got from HSN.

I added a crocheted flower that I

purchased from Created by Tatiana.

The tag and sentiment are

from My Craft Spot and is

tied on with some Flax twine

from The Twinery.

I finished the whole thing off with

some pearl bling from

Want 2 Scrap.

I will be entering this card in the

following challeges:
