Inspire Me Tuesday

No, this isn't a Downy add, it's Inspire Me Tuesday at MyCreativeTime! :) I was inspired while doing laundry. Isn't this fabric softener bottle pretty?! I really liked the pinks and orange, and thus this card was born...

I started by stamping and white heat embossing the Type Calendar. A cool way to get more use out of your calendar stamp! :) I quickly colored it with worn lipstick and spiced marmalade distress markers. Then I sprayed it half to death with a mixture of perfect pearls and water in a mini mister and let it dry. You end up with a sparkly watercolor look. I used the same inks and perfect pearls mixture to splatter my card base. 

I cut a circle out of if with a die to create a shaker window. I heat embossed the greeting from the fabulous It's All About You set on vellum. I used vellum to make the window more subtle than using acetate. I filled the window with sequins from Neat And Tangled.

p.s. If you're wondering, that fabric softener smells divine! :) 

PeachyKeen Challenge

Hello! It's time for another PeachyKeen Challenge. The challenge this time is to follow the above sketch. For my card, I flipped the sketch on its side...

 I LOVE the paper from the Vintage Bliss collection by Simple Stories. LOVE. IT. I was "eeking" out loud while I paper pieced the kitty from the new August 2013 set from PeachyKeenStamps. A plaid kitty??? Yep! :)

I used my Martha Stewart butterfly punches to make the 3 accents for this card. The bottom layer of the butterflies is vellum that I embossed with the swiss dots cuttlebug folder.

Hello! It's release time again for PeachyKeenStamps!!! This card is for Challenge #1 which is to create a project with a back to school theme.

I stamped and paper pieced the apple which is also from the August 2012 set. 

I stamped the notebook paper from the August 2012 set on some cork paper...I used Ranger Archival Jet Black ink and it worked great! :) I white embossed the greeting from the August 2012 set. 

Here's my card for Challenge #2 which is to use office supplies. I stamped the notebook paper, greeting, and pencil from the August 2012 set.

Peachy Keen Stamps Sneaks! :)

Hello Peachy Pals!!! It's sneak time again for PeachyKeenStamps!!! First up is this absolutely darling puppy from the new August 2013 set. Isn't he/she cute?! I paper pieced this puppy in a jiffy. ;) 

To finish off this simple card, I stamped the bones around the circle. The bones are also from the new August 2013 set. And this next card is the product of my weird imagination. HA! The second I saw this next sentiment, I saw a rockstar kitty in my head, and then this card happened....

Tee hee! That sentiment from the new August 2013 set just looked like it needed to be sung by a rockstar kitty to me! HA! I paper pieced the kitty from the new August 2013 set. His face is also from that set, but I drew in an open {singing} mouth. ;) 

The microphone is from the Karaoke Birthday set from PeachyKeenStamps. And here is the inside...

The inside greetings are also from the new August 2013 set. Here's something fun that I noticed after I finished this card...when it's open, the light shines through the opening on the front, and it looks like kitty is in the spotlight! :) 

I hope you liked my cards today, cuz I do! :) Rockstar kitty makes my ♥ happy! :) Pop over to the PeachyKeen Blog to see more sneaks!
