More Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peaks!

Good morning! I have a couple more cards I made with the NEW sets of Scrappy Moms stamps! Remember - they are offering {FREE shipping} through October 16th - so it's a great time to pick up any new sets you might have been eyeing for a while!!!

Here is my first card:

I used the new set A Holiday to Remember.

The house was cut from Joys of the Season. I added some gray Bakers Twine for smoke from the chimney, lots of stitching and doodling with my white gel pen, and pop-dotted it from the background.

The sentiment tag is cut from Sophisticated, and I found the little hearts on Birthday Cakes cartridge - they are also pop-dotted from the background! Finished off with some more faux stitching around the edges of everything else. 

My second card is so simple - but I love how it came out! I just used my Martha Stewart Score Board to add an embossed double square, then took some pink ribbon, twisted it, and glued it down with Zip Dry glue where I wanted it to stick.

Finished off with the sentiment from this set - Believe in Miracles! Remember - $2 of from the sale of each of this set goes toward research and support for families and victims of cancer. I am also linking this card up to the Link up for Pink linking party over at Gaby Creates! And...adding it to the Hand Stamped Sentiments Think Pink Challenge! 

That's it for today! I will have some more sneaks up for you tomorrow!!! Thanks for stopping by!

Screaming Marshmallows!!!

Bet the title REALLY made you want to look, huh? My brother-in-law's 18th birthday party was tonight, and since I needed to make a card for that, I also decided to put it in the challenge over at Scrapbookaholic By Abby - anything goes, but use a stamp somewhere on the project! I thought of the card because the birthday guy had shown us some Youtube videos a while ago of these little marshmallows with faces, screaming as they found out they were going to be roasted over a campfire. He also loves coffee, tea, cocoa, and anything like that - so I decided to kind of combine the two ideas!!! I LOVE how it came out! So much fun!

Anyway, used Unity Stamps for the sentiment on the mug, and the corners, and a Pink by Design sentiment in the left hand corner. The mug is cut from Gypsy Wanderings, by hiding the extra contours on it, and the steam is cut from Joys of the Season and covered with Glossy Accents. The marshmallows are just rounded off rectangles that I got off of the Preserves cartridge, but I know you can find that on several different cartridges as well. Added some cute Peachy Keen faces, by mixing together the eyes from a couple different sets, and the mouths from a face part set that I had. Inked the edges of the marshmallows, and drew the little half circle to make them actually look like marshmallows! Pop dotted everything, and finished off with a little faux stitching! SOOOO much fun!



Catching up on a few cards...

We were without internet the last couple of days, so I was unable to post these as I finished them! Also had an eventful couple of days! My 7 year old daughter fell on a trampoline and broke her two front teeth, and of course, her adult teeth had already come in! So we spent a day at the dentist getting those repaired. Then I spent the day at the doctor and specialist yesterday with another ear infection, fortunately a LOT less severe than the previous one I had a few months ago. Life feels a little back to normal this morning, so I thought I would post these 3 cards I got made over the last couple of days, mostly before the craziness set in!

This first one used my Peachy Keen Stamps, one of the cute snowmen from Snow Friends seasonal cartridge (which was the first time I had ever used it!), a background cut from Lacey Labels (my first Lite cartridge - and first time using it!), Cuttlebug on the background, lots of inking, some doodling, a little ribbon, and a sentiment from the Pink by Design Winter Fun set. The snowman and the sentiment are also pop-dotted from the card for dimension.

This second one was kind of a struggle to finish for some reason. I'm still not sure I'm entirely happy with it, but I don't know what else to do with it! It is for a sketch challenge on the Cricut Circle blog. Anyway, used Lacey Labels for the scallop circle and threaded some ribbon through it with a button at the top. Did a little cuttlebug on an oval to fit in the center, and cut out the ice skater from Winter Woodland cartridge. Put ribbon along the side, added a sentiment from My Pink Stamper's Winter Fun set, LOTS of inking, Glossy Accents on the ice skater and the little corner pieces, and pop-dotted the skater and the sentiment.

The last one kind of came about a little different than I planned! I had originally cut the tree and added the Peachy Keen Stamp to go on the last card, but it just didn't seem to fit - so I added Stickles and Glossy Accents, and made another card for it! The tree was cut from Joys of the Season - and this card also has a little ribbon, lots of inking, and of course, a My Pink Stamper sentiment.

Thanks for looking - and hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season so far!

One more from Smiley Cards!

One more card I made last night from the Smiley Cards Cartridge! The steam came from Joys of the Season though...
