Trick Or Treat!

Hello and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Here's one last Halloween card for this year. Sigh. I used the Pumpkin House Die from PeachyKeenStamps. The adorable face is from the Squee Face Assortment by PeachyKeeenStamps. 

The greeting is from the Fall Face Parts Medium set by PeachyKeenStamps. And to make it extra cute, it's on a WOBBLE, so it wiggles. :) 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

Have fun, and be safe...and stuff yourself to the gills with candy!

MCT Inspiration Wednesday

Hello! It's Inspiration Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. My best friend since we were knee high to a grasshopper just had a baby girl on Monday! I've already made her a card, but I was inspired to make one for her parents. Grandparents deserve a card for all the spoiling they're gonna do! ;) I cut out my panel with the Stitched Rectangular Frames and More Dies. 

I used the tall font in the Alpha Pack to make my custom greeting. I used some K and Company patterned paper that I've had forever. For a simple embellishment, I cut out a little elephant from one of the patterns in the collections. I added a little wink of stella to her. I really like the simple modern feel to this card. :)

If a zombie chases us...

Hello! Sooooo I was playing around in Cricut Craft Room and found that I had an image set called Zombies. I never bought it, so I guess it was free? Yay! So I cut this cool guy out at 4.75 inches. I gave him the perfect face from the Zombie Face Assortment by PeachyKeenStamps. Sorry that the color is so off in these pics. Guess my camera doesn't like neon? ;) I used neon green Hero Arts ink for the hair and grass...and neon purple for the pants. I added wink of stella to his hair.  I white heat embossed the spider from the August 2014 set by PeachyKeenStamps on his shirt. 

I stamped the Cartoon Cloud Background by MyCreativeTime with soft granite Hero Arts shadow ink. I added glossy accents to the ax and his eyes. The greeting is from the Halloween Sentiments and Label set by PeachyKeenStamps...and continues on the inside...

I hope your week is off to a great start!

Creeping by to say hi

Hiya! Happy Walking Dead day. :) I had some more fun playing with my Cricut. I cut this cute spider witch from the Create A Critter 2 cartridge. I gave her a face from the new Squee Face Assortment from PeachyKeenStamps. If you have either of the Create A Critter cartridges, you should get these faces! They go perfectly with them! :) 

I stamped the PeachyKeenStamps Candy Stripe Background {on sale for only $7.99!} with soft purple shadow ink to match the band on the hat. I stamped the greeting from the Trick Or Treat set by MyCreativeTime. I white stitched everything with my favorite white gel pen. And to make it more fun, the spider is on a WOBBLE so it wiggles. :)

Hello! Happy Saturday to you! I had a little fun playing with my Cricut. :) I cut this cute pumpkin witch from the Create A Critter 2 cartridge. I hid the face in Cricut Craft Room so I could add a PeachyKeenStamps face. I used the new Squee Face Assortment and the new Fall Face Parts Medium set to add the little tooth. I masked off the bottom of the tooth to make it shorter to fit in the mouth. Eek! So cute! :) 

I white heat embossed the greeting from the Trick Or Treat set by MyCreativeTime. The witchy pumpkin is on a WOBBLE so it wiggles. :) 

I hope you're having a great weekend!

MCT 37th Edition Release Blog Hop

Hello! You should have come from Shar's Blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. For my card I have used the fabulous new Boughs Of Holly set. I turned the "boughs" in the set into feathers. :) Here's how I did it...I inked up the stamp with worn lipstick distress ink. I then pounced on spiced marmalade and picked raspberry distress markers. I then spritzed the stamp 3 times from a foot away. Then stamped it on to water color paper. Then I used a brush to swish the color around. To finish, I used the end of my paint brush to drag color up from the bottom to make the "stem/vein/i dunno". HA! I then used the coordinating dies in the new Boughs Of Holly set to cut them out. 

I used the "happy" die, also from the Boughs Of Holly set. I cut it out 5 times and glued them together. I used tarnished brass distress stain to color it. I also used that distress stain to stamp "birthday", which is also in the Boughs Of Holly set. I used the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies for my shaker window. Phew...So, do you think my "feathers" look like feathers? :)

Have fun hoppin'! Your next stop is MICIA.

MCT Sneaks Day 4

It's day 4 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime and today we are sneaking a new set called Oh Deer. For my card I used a sweet deer die from the Oh Deer set to die cut my circle from the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies. The circle is splattered with picked raspberry and spiced marmalade distress inks. Oh, and some gold lame Color Shine spray too. I used the Grainy Wood Background and gold heat embossed it. I also gold embossed the greeting from the new Oh Deer set. This was really hard to get a photo of, it looks better in real life. :)

MCT Thrifty Thursday

Hi! It's Thrifty Thursday at MyCreativeTime. My card today uses the alternate background I made for THIS card. And sticking with the thrifty-ness...I also recycled my design from that card. {I just flipped it} On with the deets... I stamped the background with the grid from the Get Schooled set with soft granite shadow ink. I stamped over that with the stars from the Trick Or Treat set with neon orange Hero Arts ink. I used the same inks to stamp the chevrons with the Build A Chevy set and cut it out with the Bunch Of Fun Circles dies. 

I made the sunglasses with the die from the What's Growing On set. I cut it out 5 times and glued them together. I made "glass" part by coloring the back of vellum with a black marker. It's looks cool in real life. The greeting is from the Treasured Moments set. I finished it off with sequins.

Happy birthday, Monster! :)

Hello! Today I played with brand spankin' new PeachyKeen goodness! :) I used my silhouette to cut out the new Blue Monster Peachy Pieces. I cut him out in white, and inked him up with tumbled glass, broken china, salty ocean, and chipped sapphire distress inks. I used antique linen distress ink for his arms and legs. The adorable face is from the new Squee Face Assortment. So cute! I ♥ him! 

I stamped my sky with the fabulous Cloudy Day Background from PeachyKeenStamps with soft pool Hero Arts shadow ink. I free hand cut the hill and inked it with lime green shadow ink. I combined 2 sets to make the greeting. I used the Sentiments For September 2014 set for the "happy birthday"...and the "monster!" is from the August 2014 set.

MCT Tag It Tuesday

Hello! It's Tag It Tuesday at MyCreativeTime. Today we have the above photo and color combo for inspiration. As usual, I've put my tag on a card. :) Here it is...

Bright enough for ya? :) I started by making my background. I made it by stamping the grid pattern from the Get Schooled set with soft granite shadow ink. I stamped over that with the trio of stars from the Trick Or Treat set using lime green shadow ink. I stamped "Ride it and Fly it" repeatedly with lime green and neon orange Hero Arts inks. I then used the Stitched Round Tab, Arrow, And Tag Die to cut it out.

I stamped the "if the broom fits" from the Trick Or Treat set with charcoal shadow ink. I used the circle from the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies. The neon orange strip is a tag cut in half from the Tag Layers dies {inked with neon orange ink}. And the broom is from the Wicked Fun Dies. To finish it off, I added wink of stella to the broom...and of course, some sequins. :)

MCT Made In Minutes

Hello. It's Made In Minutes Monday at MyCreativeTime. I made this card for Emma's sister who lost her sweet dog Raider last week. :( Breaks my heart to hear of someone losing a furry baby. 

I made the card base and layer with the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies. I die cut the window for the sequins with the Live Love Bark set. 

I stamped the name on the banner from the Stitched Vintage Label Dies using the Alpha Pack.

p.s. The most time consuming part about this card was gluing down the sequins. You could make it much faster by substituting some pretty patterned paper instead. :)

I baked you a cake...and SALE info :)

Hello! Happy Friday to ya! :) For my card today I used my cricut. GASP! LOL. I cut the raccoon using the Live Simply Cricut Cartridge. He is cut at 2.5 inches.

I made the card base and layer with the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More die set by MyCreativeTime. I used the Stitched Grass Die also by MyCreativeTime. I used the Speech Bubble Sentiments set for the speech bubble die. I stamped the greeting from the fabulous Sentiments For September 2014 set by PeachyKeenStamps in the speech bubble....and the continuation of the greeting on the inside....

Love that set! Gotta love a funny greeting! :)

Inspiration Wednesday

Hiya! It's Inspiration Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. I have no picture of what inspired this card, because there isn't one. LOL. I had the news on and they said, "It's a vicious cycle."...and BAM! This card just popped into my head. :) I die cut the bicycle from the Way To Go set. I cut it from the white panel again and then inlaid all the bits and pieces back in. This is a really cool look in real life. 

I made the sentiment with the Alpha Pack. I kept this totally simple, and I think it's pretty darn funny. Hardy har har.

Happy World Card Making Day...again! ;)

Hello again! :) As promised, here is the other card I made today. I used the same Nob Hill papers on this card, but this card is girly. I kept this really simple because I love that patterned paper. So pretty on its own. I did add clear wink of stella glitter pen to the flowers and and buds, but it doesn't show up in the pic. I white heat embossed the greeting from the Fun Variety On The Inside And Out set by MyCreativeTime.

In addition to enjoying card making today, I've also had my own backyard air show with the Blue Angels! :) There is an air show going on here at MCAS Miramar this weekend, but I can just look from my back yard. :) 

HAPPY WEEKEND TO YOU!
