Make Lemonade

 

Hello, I have a quick post to share with you today.

I made a card for the

Peachy Keen Challenge 13-15 - Photo Inspiration

 

Here is the photo inspiration:

 

 

I took my inspiration from the colors,

the fruit and the drink.

Here is my card:

 

The mason jar stamp from the Peachy Keen

April SOTM reminded me of Lucille's Smokehouse.

They serve all their drinks in mason jars.

Their lemonade is especially yummy.

I stamped the jar using Brilliance Starlite Silver ink

I then colored in the lemonade using

my Stampin Up markers in Yoyo Yellow.

I then coved the entie jar with Glossy Accents.

(as you can see, the color ran a little...oopps!!)

The sentiment came from Just Becasue Cards

Cricut Cartridge cut at 2.5".

 

My cute little lemons were cut from Simply Charmed

at 1.75" and the lemon slices were cut

from Savory at 2.6".  The cute faces

on my lemons are from the

"Erkle and Merkle" Assortment.

 

The papers are from My Mind's Eye

6x6 Happy Day paper pad.

The ribon is from Michaels.

I also added some distress ink.

 

I will also entering this card in the following challenges:

Everyday is an Occasion~ Linky Party

DL Art~ Linky Party

 

Also, I am  very excited to say that my husband told me

last night to go ahead and order my Silouette Cameo!!

It was the one and only thing I want for my birthday this month

and now it is ordered and I hope to be playing with it soon!!

I have asked my son for a gift card from either the

Silouette Store, Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons

or Miss Kate Cuttables!!

(or all three..he, he, he)

 

 

 



Hogs and Kisses

Hello and Happy Thursday!!

Today I have a cute little project to share with you.

Yesterday was my 14th Anniversary.

Since I have been laid up with my foot surgery,

I was unable to shop to get something for my hubby.

I decided to make him a yummy box of treats!!

My inspiration for this project was

the cute little KISS die from

My Creative Time. 

Chocolate Greetings Die and Stamp set.

I started with a box that I recycled.

This box was perfect for what I had in mind.

It was a black box with a red lid.

I just needed to decorate it.

My cute little HOG is a morphed character!!

The head is from Animal Kingdom and

her body is from Teddy Bear Parade.

Her cute little face is from

Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed.

I attached the head with an Action Wobble.

My HOG is hugging a chocolate kiss that I cut

from a foil paper that I have had for ages

and have never used!!  I crumbled it up

a bit to give it the look of a real kiss!!

The flags and sentiments are from

the same set.

This sentiment is from Just Because Cards

and the Hearts are from My Creative Time

Stitched-Scallop-Heart-Die-Set

and

Stitched-Heart-Layering-Dies.

I finished my bos off my added some

My Craft Spot crinkle ribbon around the

edge of the box.

And here is a picture of the inside!!

I covered the inside with some red tissue paper.

I made my hubby some yummy chocolate

covered strawberriesand chocolate brownie

cake pops!!  This was the first time I ever

made anything like this. I had bought a cake pop

maker almost a year ago and have never used it!! 

 I made my brownie cake pops with a

boxed chocolate  cake mix and a can of

canned pumpkin.  I added some chopped

 pecans for crunch.  I popped the batter into my

cake pop maker and they came out almost

perfect on the first try!!  I the chocolate coating for

 both the strawberries and cake pops waas a whole

different matter...lol.  I ruined the first two batches

but the 3rd time was a charm!!

I was really proud of my little treat box

and my husband loved it!!

Now my son wants me to make one

for his "girlfriend" for Valentine's Day

but he already paid $30.00 and ordered

them online.  Next time he will

know to ask mom first!!

I will be entering this project in the following challenges:

Hello and Happy Labor Day to

all my crafty friends!!

I hope you all are enjoying your

wonderful 3 day weekend.

 

For this week's post I chose to create

a project using "Just Because Cards".

I made a very simple card to

share with you today.

I made a round card

using the sticker feature on the cartridge. 

The card base is cut at 5" from the

Art Philosophy Cartridge.

I used Kraft Cardstock.

The boot image I chose is on

page 65, and it was cut at 4.81"

The pattern paper is from Best Creations

"Cowboy Up" paper pack that

I got from the Shop at Erica's Craft Room

I added some Cinammon Stickles

and Chestnut Liquid Pearls.

 

 

 

 

Here is the inside of the card.  The phrase is on the same page of

the book and I cut 1.82".  The paper is from the same paper pack.

 

This was a quick and simple card to make.

 

Now head on over to My Cricut Craft Room

to see what the rest of the design team made today!!

For my first project this month, I decided to make a project directly from the book, using the "Just Because Cards" Cricut Cartridge.  I had ourchased this adorable paper from my LSS, it is from Best Creation Inc. "Robot" line.  When I saw this paper, I knew the exact cut I wanted to use!! 

The card base, label, and space ship were all cut from page 33,  the card base was cut at 8".  I had orginally cut the label at 8" as well, but I thought it was too big, and wanted you be able to see the wonderful paper, so I cut a smaller one, unfortunately, I did not save the resized image.  The spaceship was cut at 8" as well.  The sentiment was a sticker from the same paper line.  I mounted it on a piece of orange glitter cardstock and cut around it to make a shadow layer.  I used a few different cuttlebug folders, and finished it off with some twine.

For my second project, I used 3 cartridges.  Blackletter, Beyond Birthdays and Celebrate with Flourish.

The base of the card was cut from Beyond Birthdays at 7.31"h.

The frame and banner were cut from Blackletter.

The frame was cut t 6.10" and the banner at 1.31"

The flower in the vase is from Celebrate with Flourish.

All the layers were cut at 3"h

All the paper is from the"Perfect Day" paper pack from Close to My Heart.

I embossed the sentiment (very messy!!) with Copper Zing Glitter Embossing Powder.

I distressed everything with Antique Linen and Iced Spruce Distress Ink.

The ribbon is from My Craft Spot.  I did not have the right color, so I inked

some Vintage Vanilla with the Iced Spruce Distress Ink.

I finished it off with some Stickles in Xmas Red and Crystal.

Don't forget to comment along the way on all of the blogs

today and tomorrow to be entered to win the Cricut

cartridge that Erica is giving away today.

Winners will be announced on her blog on Tuesday!

Theme Day Thursday - Laundry

Welcome back and thanks for visiting.  It is Theme Day Thursday over at My Cricut Craft Room

 



 

Todays theme is LAUNDRY!!

 How fun is that!!  I love that Erica is challenging us to think outside of the box. 

 

So here is my project for today

I just think this card came out so cute!  I love the colors.  I actually used 3 cartridges for this card.  For the "laundry", I used Country Life Cricut Cartridge.  Plus, I used the banner feature key!!  The images I cut are on pages 59, 61 & 66.  They were all cut at 1.5".  I hung them on the line using twine. 

The word "just" was cut from Just Because Cards at 1.5"  The phrase "hanging out" was also cut at 1.5" from Simply Charmed.  The paper is DCWV Dot, Stripes & Plaids paper stack.  I added some more twine, plus a couple of bling flourishes from Recollections.  I also used a Martha Stewart border punch and inked the edges with a Studio G stamp pad.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Crafting!!

You are my Sunshine

This next card I am entering into the 2 Peachy Keen Challenges for this week.  The Theme for Let's Face It Friday is Sunshine.  And here is the sketch for Sketch Challenge 61, you also had to use twine.



I decided to make one card for both challenges.  For this card, the cuts are from Just Because Cards.  The checked and polka dot paper are from Creative Imaginations.  The glitter cardstock used on the sun is Coordinations Couture.  The printed cardstock is DCWV Nana's Kitchen Stack.  The sun is on an action wobble and I used from bakers twine from My Craft Spot.  The face on the sun is from PK Princess Face Assortment.

Something seems to be missing on the left side, I guess maybe I should have made the printed piece of cardstock a little longer.  Oh Well !!

Happy Crafting,

Kathy

Piece of Cake

I am entering this card in FCCB Challenge #73 - Piece of Cake!   All cuts are from Just Because Cards.

Refresh Yourself

Ok, this is the last one for today, and this one is my favorite.  I got the inspiration for this card from the background paper!!  It is from Imanginsce Berrylicious Collection.  Love this collection!!  The glass of lemonade is from Just Because Cards, the cherry is from Paisley, and the font for the sentiment is from Cindy Lou.  I just love the way this card came out.  I am entering in in the Cricut 360 Challenge #6 - Refreshing I think it fits perfectly!!  I am also going to enter this card in the My Craft Spot Challenge #20-It's Hot Out There
