Cupcake Birthday

Hello and Happy Sunday

to all my crafty friends.

I have been sitting here

making out my Thanksgiving Menu

and grocery list.  I bought my Turkey

a few days ago, but I forgot several

things, so I have been going over my menu

and making out my list to ensure I don't forget anything!!

We will not celebrate until Friday.  We like

to make it easier for our kids since we are

a "blended family" and on Thanksgiving

our kids have to make several stops,

so whenever we can we celebrate on

a different day.

 

Anyway enough rambling, I have a birthday

card to share with you today that I

made for my friends baby girl.

She had a "Cupcake" birthday party.

I used quite a few different products for my card.

The adorable little girl is the

Cupcake Girl cutting file from

SVG Cutting Files.

The blue mat was cut with a

Martha Stewart border punch and

the next layer is the Journal Die

from My Creative Time.

I embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder.

My girls cute face is from Peachy Keen

and I covered the icing of the cupcake

with Distress Stickles.  The banner

at the top is also from My Creative Time.

For the inside, the blue mat

is a Spellbinders die,

the next layer is once again

the Journal Die from My Creative Time

and the Sentiment is from

My Creative Time as well.

I added some 3 Girl Jam ribbon

and some glitter tulle.

 

I will be entering this in the following challenges:

SVG Cutting Files Birthday Challenge



It's Fall

Happy Friday!!

I have a quick post to share today.

I made this card for the

Peachy Keen Challenge-

Just Cards - Leaves

 

 

All the pieces for this card

were made from extra pieces

I had in my "Extras" drawer :)

The cute Peachy Face is from

the PKSC-18 June 2013 set

and the sentiment is from

PKSC-22 October 2013 set

The Leaf was from the Silhouette Store

the orange piece was embossed with

a Quick Kutz embossing folder and the

Burlap Ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam

I also added some flower soft

around the edges of the leaf

 

Have a great weekend everyone :)

Boy Elf

Hello and Happy Monday!!

I hope everyone had a

great weekend.  I was pretty

hot here in So. California.

It was around 95 yesterday

and I do not like the heat!!

I had a ton of laundry to do, so that

is how I spent my weekend...lol.

Today I have a fun project to share with you.

Before Easter, I started saving the empty

toliet paper rolls.  I had plans to

make bunnies out of them but never

got around to it.  So now I have a bunch

of these rolls lying around, so I decided to

make something for this week's

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

I made a funny little boy Elf using a file from

Miss Kate's Cuttables

I used only his head and arms.

I wrapped the TP roll with some

printed paper from a stack I bought

ages ago!!  I added some ribbon from

3 Girl Jam and My Craft Spot

for his collar and belt.

I embossed his hair using the

Cutllebug Divine Swirls folder.

I also added a little distress in

in Gathered Twigs to his hair.

I used the Wide Eyed Kids Stamps for his face.

And check out my faux stiching!!

I added the stiching using my sketch pens

and my Cameo!!  This was my first time trying

this, but one of my blogger buddies

Nana from My Crafting Channel.com

shared a great video with me that had

step my step instructions. 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Q2fEppuaY

The video shows how to add the stiching with te

the print and cut feature, but I just used my sketch pens

and it worked perfectly!!

Not sure yet, what I am going to use my

little elf for.  I could just use him as

decoration, or fill the tube with

candy and use him as a treat!!

I will be entering him

in the following challenges:

Silhouette Challenges - Use Faux Stiching

My Craft Spot - Christmas in July

Sweet Tweets

Hello, and Happy Monday.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Mine was very busy.  We postponed

celebrating Easter with the kids and grandkids

because my hubby was sick last weekend.

So we had all the kids and grandkids over

yesterday.  We bbq'd and did our easter egg hunt

plus we celebrated my granddsughter's

 and son-in-law's birthdays.  Plus my car has been in

 and out of the shop for  the last two weeks and the bad news

on that is I have to take it back again tomorrow! 

UGGGHHHH!!

Anyway, I have another card to share with you.

I made this cute little card using another one of the

Peachy Keen Cottage Cutz dies.  It is called

Happy Bird.  The umbrella is from the

Duck Accessories Die Set.

The white layer is cut from the

Spellbinders Fleur Di Lie Rectangles Die.

I added some Nestabling from Want to Scrap.

It is hard to see, but I also added some

clouds to the white background using

a stamp from the Peachy Keen

February 2012 Stamp of the Month Kit.

It is the stamp for the foam from the beer!!

Here is a close up of the sweet little bird.

I added some chalk to add some detail  to the her.

My sentiment is from the Peachy Keen June 2012 SOTM kit.

It is stamped onto a Spellbinders Ribbon Banners Die.

I inked it with Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers.

I added some glitter tulle and a vintage button from

3 Girl Jam with a little twine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Baby Carriage Gift Bag

Hello all My Crafty Friends!!

I have a cute little baby

gift bag to share with you today.

 I started with a kraft gift bag.

The next layer is a piece of ivory cardstock

that I inked with TH Distress Ink

in Fired Brick and Scattered Straw.

The next layer is a piece of 6x6 paper

from My Mind's Eye "Playdate" stack.

Not sure what pack the red paper is from,

but I cut this doily using my new

We R Memory Keepers

Lucky 8 Punch.

The top layer is my adorable baby in the buggy cute

from Simply Charmed.  I have embossed it, and

added a cute little Peachy Keen Face, I believe

it is from Wide Eyed Kids.

used it.  I have about 8 of them so you may

see this image again!!

I mounted the baby buggy on an action wobble.

For Someone Beary Special

Hello All My Crafty Friends!! 

It has been almost a month since my last post.

I finished my term on the

My Cricut Craft Room Design Team
and I decided to take a little break.

December and January are very
busy for me at work. 

I've missed you all and it feels good
to be in my craft room again!!

I have a cute little gift bag to share with you today.

I made this cute little gift bag for my daughter in law’s birthday present.  I started with a kraft gift bag.  All the paper I used is from a My Mind’s Eye 6x6 Paper Pad called Miss Caroline.  The first layer was embossed with a Sizzix folder called Cottage Style.  I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Tea Dye and Mustard Seed.  The next layer is a Spellbinders Curved Rectangles Dye, inked with Mustard Seed and Tea Dye Distress Ink.  The next layer is a Spellbinders Labels 10, inked with Dried Marigold Distress Ink.  And the cute little bear in her jammies is from the Peachy Keen January Stamp  of the month.  Her face is from the same stamp set.  Isn’t she just the cutest!!

Here is a close up of her cute little face.  I added some pink chalk to her cheeks as well as some freckles.  I also added glossy accents.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped onto another cut
from Spellbinders Labels 10.   I added a cute little button from
3 Girl Jam and some twine.  I also added some decorative trim from
Webster’s Pages to the top of the bag, a little bling from Recollections

 and I tied a bow with some crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam.

I will be entering this into this week's Peachy Keen

Halloween Treats

Hello all my crafty friends. 

First off I just want to send my thoughts and

prayers to all affected by Hurricane Sandy!!

I just wanted to post a couple of quick pics.

These are the treat bags I made for

the 5 grandkids that live

here in California.

Their church has a Harvest Festival

so they do not really celebrate Halloween.

I made it easy on myself this year

and made the same bag for each one!!

I used Simply Charmed for the pumpkins

The font for the sentiment is from

A Child's Year, welded on my gypsy.

I used Peachy Keen Cornie Faces and

New Year's Faces for the pumpkin faces.

Here are the little treats I made for mine

and my hubby's coworkers.

I used the My Creative Time Tri-Fold Card Die.

The label is from Lacey Labels and the sentiment

is from Pink By Design.  I added some crinkle ribbon,

buttons from Recollections and more of my

homemade stickpins!!

They loved them, some of the ladies

took the stick pins off and were wearing them

on their lapels!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

I am entering these treats in the following challenges:
