Sugar Pea Designs Card

I was fortunate enough to win a gift certificate during the Grand Opening Festivities for Sugar Pea Designs. I purchased the Bushel and Peek set and designed to make this card with it.

Now who wants to guess what I was eating when I colored this at midnight lol??? You got it... my BIGGEST weakness during this time is Conversations Hearts. I can set like 4 packs s day and my hubby gets me the big bags at least once a week when they are in the store.

I used my Simple Stories paper pack with this.  Colored the image with my Copics and actually picked the paper first this time so it is colored to match the papers.

I will be entering this one into the following challenges:

SugarPea Designs-Anything Goes with a SugarPea image
Deconstructed Sketch-based on their sketch
Sweet Pea Stampers-Valentines/Love
Aud Sentiments-Share the Love
C.R.A.F.T-Love
Addicted to Stamps and More-Photo Inspiration
MilkCoffee Stamps-Valentines/Love

Welcome to another challenge for Totally PaperCrafts.

 

Now, on to this week's challenge which was chosen by Chitra is:

 

CAS (Clean And Simple)

This weeks fabulous sponsor is

DigiStamp Boutique

 

 

I am not really a Clean and Simple person so it took a lot for me to just come up with this one.  The temptation to add more is sooo strong for me. I used one of the Sponsor's Image, Freya's Cupcakes. 

 

I colored the image with my Copics and had to add some liquid pearl on the cupsakes.  The sentiment is actually from my There She Goes sets.  The paper is MME from my large stash of that.

 

I will be entering this card into the following challenges as well.

 

4 Crafty Chicks-Anything Goes

Party Time Tuesday-Anything Goes

Crafty Calendar-Let's Celebrate

Crafty Catz-Anything Goes

Sister Act-Anything Goes

DigiStamp Boutique-January Submission

 

 

 

Valentine theme Card

Look I did not even give you enough time to miss me again this time lol.  Here is the second card I created last night. 

This time I delved into my A Day for Daisies collection that I love. This image is just so pretty to me and I decided it would be a beautiful card for Valentines.

 

I used my MFT dies to create the lace border behind the image and my Spellbinders for the oval shape of the image. The paper is from my MME paper stash.

 

Colored the image with my Copics, I think I actually wrote them down this time

 

Skin: E02,01,000,0000, R2

Hair: E29, 8,9

Dress: R89,85,83,81

Birds: R29,27

 

The sentiment is actually a rub-on I have had in my stash so glad to finally use it.

 

I will be entering this one into the following challenges:

 

A Day for Daisies-Use Pink and Red

My Sheri Crafts-Use a digi

The Pink Elephant Challenge-Love

Card with Accordion Folding Tag on it-Yumi & Fumi Style Inspiration

Happy Thursday. It is my turn to do an inspirational post for you on Yumi & Fumi Handmade.  Today I am showcasing a cute Accordion Tag Folded Card I saw on Youtube. This is a new technique for me and love how it came out.  

Here is the outside of the card.  I used the adorable image of Yumi with Bookbag. I cropped part of the image out with my Spellbinders. The card base is your typical 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size card.  

 

The addition is the mini accordion book that I added on front.

 

Here is the what the mini accordion folds look likes opened up.

 

To make the tag book

 

-3 1/2 x12 piece of card stock

-score  at 3, 4 1/2, 6, 7 1/2 and 9 inch marks

-decorate your outside panels as you wish- my large panels were 3x 2 and my inner panels were 1 3/8x 2 5/8.

 

The inspiration for this tag original came from Catherine Pooler-a  Stampin up rep with some great variety of tutorials on her site.

 

You can write little message on there or even tape a gift card or something onto the front.

 

Supplies used were

Yumi and Fumi-Yumi with Bookbag Stamp

Loves Rubberstamps-New Years Resolution

Happy New Years Eve to most of you out there! I am looking forward to a great party at our friends house. All of our kids are finally old enough to stay up and all get along so well. The kids and us adults are excited about it.

 

This weeks Challenge at Loves Rubberstamps is - New Years Resolutions! 

Show a card, scrap page or project that represents your New Year Resolution.  We would love for you to tell us what it is as well. 

Well I have only a few Resolutions but they are pretty big ones!!

 

My biggest one is to try to kick up my heels and relax a bit more. I feel like I spend so much of my time running like a chicken without a head and do not stop to enjoy and laugh with friends and family enough.

 

The next biggest one is to live cash only!! I have to admit I have more on my credit cards then I would like so this year I plan to live cash only. Leave the cards to the dire emergencies like a broken car or something but I have put them away and hope to get them paid off this year.

 

Then there is the workout Resolution...trying to do at least 30 minutes a day. Got  to get back into that gym!!

 

My crafty one is to do more scrapbooking since I have tons of pictures and to not buy a single store card for this year!!

 

Well fitting with my first Resolution this is a my "Kickin Back and Relaxing" Resolution

 

 

I used one of my favorite line of stamps, My Favorite Things A La Mode Series, Martinis on Me as well as my Copics to color it.  The sentiment is actually from another company but thought it fit great.

 

Also want to take this time to send a HUGE hug and best wishes to one of the Best DTs I have been on!! It has been a blast and I will miss all of you greatly. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

 

I am entering this card into the following challenges as well:

We want to remind you: Just two more days to get into our special HOLIDAY BLITZ - ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE!! We have a huge list of Sponsors who are all set to give away some amazing prize packages to lots of our lucky players!! 

 

Today I decided to do something a little different and for me. I decided to alter a cell phone case, this is Samsung Galaxy Case to create a bling case for the Holidays. My focal stamp was from the Bildmarana Collection called Christmas Gift.  I colored the image with my Copics. I used the Authentique paper collective, Festive and cut it to fit. Then I mod podge the paper to the case and then cut the image and mod podge it to the paper.  I then used my trusty E600 glue to add all the rhinestones, rhinestone mesh and pearls.

Here is my tip if going to do this!!! TWEEZERS ARE A MUST and E600 glue is a very strong glue but it does not set immediately so it give you a little time to work with it.

Hope you are all enjoying your break. It has been fabulous for us, plenty of time and fun with family and friends and enjoying all the goodies "Santa" has brought us.

So don't forget to hop along and enter our challenge!!!
