Throwback Thursday Challenge w/My Creative Time!

Happy Thursday!

Today starts an all new Throwback Thursday Challenge on Emma's blog!

This weeks challenge is to create a card using any older cartridge that has a "Card Feature" on it. There is a little twist your card must have a Halloween theme!
I made a birthday card for a friend who was born October 30th.

I used the Scallop card from the Wild Card Cartridge. The pumpkin's are from the My Scrap Chick file called Hocus Pocus.
Their super sweet faces are from Peachy Keen Stamps new release set called, PK-292 Faceless Corn. 
The Happy Birthday stamp is from Emma's set called, Gift Card Sentiments and it was stamped on the Stitched oval die. You can get both of them here. 

Don't forget that the winner of this challenge will receive all of the October new release stamp sets! So... make sure that you play along with us! You can see more inspiration on Emma's blog.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

SVG Attic Design Team Project

Happy Wednesday!

Don't you just love fall? Cooler days and nights, the leaves on the trees change colors, harvest, and my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving! 

I thought it would be fun to create a home decor item that would help welcome fall.

I used the SVG Attic set called, Fall Leaves SVG Collection,
to create my door rosette.
The papers I used are from Cosmo Cricket and Doodlebug Designs.
Want to know how I made it? I will have a video tutorial up on Saturday showing all the steps. For right now, here are the sizes, just in case you feel like making one too! :)

Large scallop circle: 9 1/2" Dia
Rosette: 8" Dia
Inter scallop: 6"
Fall cut out: 4.4531 x 3.9375
Leaves were cut at 2 1/2", 2" and 1 1/2"

Here is a tutorial showing how to make a rosette, just in-case you don't know how to make one. Like I said, I am working on a video tutorial, it will be posted here on the blog on Saturday!

Tomorrowstarts an all new Throwback Thursday Challenge, I can't wait to show you my card.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hey "Sweet" Thing!

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I spent most of mine working on upcoming projects. I did however find some time to make a few "non-project cards". I purchased a super cute svg set from My Scrap Chick a couple months ago. It's called Kawaii Kid Snacks.
The papers are BoBunny's 12" Whoo-Ligans collection. I also used some Bazzil card stock.
The twine is from Sugar Twisted Twine, the colored matched the paper perfectly. I printed the sentiment on my computer.

The face's are from Peachy Keen Stamp's newly released set called, PK-292 Faceless Corn.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Fall Mash Up Blog Hop!!!!

Happy Friday!

Welcome to the Peachy Keen Stamps/SVG Attic Hop!  If you've just come from Angelica's blog, then you are on the right track.  If not, make sure you start at the beginning, Peachy Keen Stamps blog, so you don't miss a single chance to win any of the fun prizes up for grabs!   

Peachy Keen Stamps and SVG Attic have partnered this weekend to bring you fun, creative, and inspiring projects to get your Fall crafting into high gear! You'll also see how easy PKS face stamps are to use with SVG Attic's adorable cuts!



PEACHY KEEN STAMPS:
Peachy Keen Stamps is a family business founded by Kathy & Dave Jakopovich in September, 2003. We are located in Green Bay, WI and are the leading manufacturer of the original clear, high-quality, whimsical face stamps loved by die cutters internationally! Kathy illustrates the entire face line as well as an image stamp line with the same sweet whimsical look. Our stamps stamp crisp, clear, and never need to be sanded or rubbed with an eraser. Trade quality photopolymer means that your stamps will last through thousands of impressions!

SVG ATTIC:
SVG Attic was founded early 2011 by Jessica Bashaw and is a family owned company that operates in Southern California. Jessica provides fresh, cute, and easy to cut/assemble SVG files for use with your favorite electronic cutting machines.

Since it has been awhile... I decided to make a banner.
 I used SVG Attic.com's set called Spooky Friends for Mr. & Mrs. Frankenstein and basic shapes in Make-the-Cut, to make the banner flags. 
 The font is CK Fancy Cat. I created a shadow layer behind it and cut both out with Make-the-Cut.
 Frankenstein's face is from Peachy Keen Stamps set called, PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment. I added some shine to their eye's with Glossy Accents.
 The bride's face is from Peachy Keen Stamps set called, PK-680 Retro Paper Doll Face Assortment.

I haven't decided yet what I am going to do with this... I was thinking it would be really cute on the fridge. All I would have to do is add magnets to the back of Mr & Mrs. I also have a large grapevine wreath that I redo for each holiday, it might look fun on that too. 

Whatever I do, I will share a photo next week.


PRIZES:
Peachy Keen Stamps will be drawing two random winners from comments left on all the blogs. Up for grabs will be a set of our “In Stitches” assortment and our new “Uglies” face assortment.

SVG Attic will be sponsoring a winner with 2 -$25 gift Certificates and will also have a 30% OFF coupon going on throughout the weekend, the code is “HOP”. 

Both companies will draw their winners and announce them on their blogs Monday morning.

I made a card.
 Fall is my most favorite time of year. Whenever I think of the fall, I always think of apples and leaves. One of the things we love to do each fall is go apple picking in Julian, a small town in the mountains, about 45 minutes from my house. We usually make a day of it and do a little shopping and then lunch at one of the restaurants in town too. 
 I used the Lettering Delights set, Feels Like Autumn Svg set. I used Make-the-Cut to weld the shapes together and then created a shadow layer around them, to form the base of the card. The papers are from DCWV and Papertrey Ink.
 The apple's sweet little face is from Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-486 In Stitches Face Assortment.

A set of  In Stitches face assortment!

Throwback Thursday Challenge w/My Creative Time

Happy Thursday!

Today is the start of another Throwback Thursday Challenge on Emma's blog. This weeks challenge is to create a card with a "font" cart. You can use any images or fonts that are on the cart. Remember... you can only use a "Font" cart!
Here is my card!
 I used the Simply Sweet Font Cart. I used the heart feature and made the base of my card, the white insert, and the red heart.
I used my white gel pen for the stitching on the front of the heart and I wrapped turquoise twine around the base of the card.

I used the Emma's stamp set called Home Sewn for the sentiment, it is embossed with white embossing ink.

For more inspiration and to see more about the challenge, click here.

Tomorrow is the start of an all new Peachy Keen Stamps, Let's Face it Friday Challenge, I can't wait to show you my project.
