OH SNAP!

Hello! For my super simple card today I paper pieced the adorable crab from the Under The Sea set from MarketStreetStamps. Isn't he a cute little crabbie?!!! :)

The sentiment is from the Crikey set from PinkByDesign.

I'm entering this into the Block Party over at the MarketStreetStamps blog.

PeachyKeen Challenge 15

Hello! Welcome to another PeachyKeen Challenge! Our challenge this time is to use your PeachyKeenStamps and create a background. For my card I used the Mini Happy Turtle to stamp my background. I didn't color them in because I wanted my big Happy Turtle to stand out as my focal image. 

I paper pieced Happy Turtle and added some black enamel accents to his shell. See the shine? Now, scoot on over to the Challenge Blog to see the other creations and to play along with us!

We'll be awarding "TOP PEACH" to the player who uses their Peachy Keen Stamps this week and  our two runner ups will receive a spiffy badge to display on their blog!

Throwback Thursday

Hello! It's Throwback Thursday again over at MyCreativeTime and the theme this week is to use any older cartridge with a "frame". For my super simple card today I used the fabulous Lacy Labels lite cricut cartridge. I cut out my image layers at 2.75 inches. The Wishing you comfort sentiment from the new set called Floral Sentiments. Ok, pop over to Emma's blog to see the rest of the awesome creations over there and to play along! You have until May 9th to link up your projects over there. :)

Just Sea-Horsin' Around

Hello and happy Monday! For my card today I stamped the Loopy Loo Polkas background from MarketStreetStamps with embossing ink and heat embossed with white powder. This stamp reminds me of bubbles, so I wanted to make it water like. I layered on distress inks in tumbled glass and broken china and added just a little bit of shabby shutters {green} to make it more oceany. I stamped the adorable seahorse from the Under The Sea set {also from MarketStreetStamps} a few times so I could paper piece her. I used paper from the Graceful collection by Echo Park. 

The sentiment is from the Crikey set by PinkByDesign. The Crikey set is super cute and is only $8.99!!! Super fabulous deal! ;)

I hope you have a FABULOUS day!

Game On

Hiya! Today I played with some PinkByDesign stamps while I was watching my Cubs win. :) I stamped the Crazy Daisy background and white heat embossed it. I did miss some spots because I need to re-juicify my embossing ink pad. ;) I inked it up with Festive Berries distress ink. Then I stamped the cute little game from the LOL stamp set from PinkByDesign a few times so I could paper piece it. I stamped the game on sentiment which is also from the LOL set. I added glossy accents to make the screen shine.

See, shiny screen. :) This LOL set is great for boys or teens. Oh, I used my silver sakura pen to add "metal" accents to the little gameboy. Both of the stamp sets I used are in the new clearance section over at the PinkByDesign store...only $6.99!!!

Hang in there

Hello and happy Friday!!! For my card today I stamped the Sweet Lace background from MarketStreetStamps in pink pastel colorbox fluid chalk ink. My monkey is from the Life's a Party cricut cartridge. Isn't she adorbs?! Her sweet little face is from the Critter Faces Medium set from PeachyKeenStamps. 

I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Jungle Fever set from PinkByDesign. Speaking of PinkByDesign...They now have a clearance section with TONS of  ADORABLE stamps starting at only  6.99!!! WOWSERS!! Amazing deals to be had! :) OH and they are having a Ustream tonight at 9CST and will be showing their new releases...yeah! I ♥ Ustream fun! :)

Hello and happy Thursday! For my card today I used my new Ole Cricut Cartidge to cut out the pretty lady. I used my gypsy to hide her face so I could stamp a face from the Laughy Taffy set from PeachyKeenStamps. I colored her lips and then went over them with a sakura clear pen to add gloss. 

I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Camera Shy set from MyCreativeTime. Emma is featuring two sets this month as her favorites...so...Camera Shy and My Teacher Rocks are on sale until April 30th at Midnight PST. Cool, huh?! :)

Happy Birthday

Hello! Last week when my Nana was here visiting she was looking through the Sophie cricut cartridge and fell in love with this rose. So I cut it out and made a quick card for her to take home with her. I cut both layers of the rose out of white cardstock. I used tons of distress inks to color it up. Sorry, but I don't remember all of them. I then did some spritzing with copper perfect pearls and water in a mini mister.

I just quickly hand cut the leaves and stamped them with the Script Type Backgrounds from MyCreativeTime. I again used a bunch of distress inks to color them up. Flicked on some water while the ink was still really wet to get the splotchy look. I embossed the back panel with the Textile cuttlebug folder. The sentiment is from the Gift Card Sentiments set also from MyCreativeTime. 

♥ Nikki ♥

p.s. sorry the pics look weird. 

hope your birthday is...AND Peachy fun tonight!!!

Hello! Here is a super simple card I made using some new PeachyKeenStamps. The pretty butterfly is from the Everyday Pop Up Cards cricut cartridge. I cut it out in white and inked it with distress inks. Then I misted it with perfect pearls and water in a mini mister. I only stuck down the middle so the wings could kind of hover off the card. 

This card has my new FAVORITE stamp on it. :)

Please join us tonight at 6pm Central {7 EST} at the PeachyKeenStamps Ning site for our release party! There will be lots of fun and PRIZES :)
