Freshly Made Penguin Pals

Hi friends!  As we wrap up the second Sale-A-Bration of the year, this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge had me reaching for my favorite Sale-A-Bration DSP.

Penguin Playmates DSP is the cutest and oh-so-perfect for the fussy cutting crafters, like me!   After die-cutting a couple stripes and polkadots circles, I added these playful little fussy-cut pals.  The soft pine tree pattern of DSP made for the perfect background too!

Be Cool, Be Chill, Be Merry

I love this cheerful sentiment, which is perfect to go along with all of the wintery fun critters.  I love the little bits of glitter in the Opal Rounds, which reminded me a bit of snowballs.  Cute, right?!?!

I may have hoarded a couple packs of this DSP to make some more winter-fun holiday cards!  Sale-A-Bration may be coming to an end, but this adorable dSP isn't going to be leaving my craft room anytime soon!

Happy Stamping!

Fall Birthday Wishes ~ Monday Montage

Welcome to an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop and the beginning of Fall!

My momma celebrated her birthday this weekend and the leaves are starting to turn.  I am always inspired by the fall colors when I create my moms card and this year was no exception!

I love the buffalo check print from the Pattern Party DSP and it paired up beautifully with the Detailed Leaves Thinlits Dies.  I cut some of the beautiful leaves out in a rainbow of fall colors and tucked them behind a Happy Birthday sentiment from Biggest Wish stamp set.  A little strip of Be Dazzling Speciality Paper and a few Sequins for Everything gave just the perfect amount of bling.

I had several die cut leaves left over, so I decided to make a second card, which ended up being the card I gave to my momma.  A Basic Black card base topped with more Pattern Party DSP started this card off.  Then I added another strip of Be Dazzling Speciality Paper, along with a beautiful sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set.  The Detailed Leaves were tucked behind the sentiment on one side and along the Be Dazzling strip on the other side.  A little black Bakers Twine bow was tucked in and a sequins were added to this card too.  How did I live this long without Sequins for Everything?!?!

I am embracing the beautiful days of fall and soaking up every last bit of sunshine!  What are your favorite parts of fall?

Be sure to check out the rest of the teams amazing projects.  I promise you won't be disappointed!

Cute Halloween Critters ~ #GDP310

Hooray!  We made it to Friday!  

It has been another insanely crazy week at work and stamping has kept me calm in the mornings.  This weeks Global Design Project Sketch Challenge was just what I needed to start my day today!

I've been working on a few Halloween cards and have been having so much fun fussy cutting the cute little ghosts and goblins from the Cute Halloween DSP.

These cuties were perfect for this weeks sketch!  I paired them up with some Halloween stripes and polkadots, also from the Cute Halloween DSP.

My sentiment was, once again, heat embossed in white on black and fussy cut for that perfect placement.

A little bit of Black & White Gingham Ribbon and a few Cute Stars Sequins were the final touch.  So cute!!!

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!  I have a busy weekend ahead of me, but I am certainly looking forward to a break from the craziness of the work week!

Happy Stamping!

If Friends Were Pumpkins ~ #HSSIC373

Happy Tuesday friends!  Fall is in the air and this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge has all of the fall feels!

I just got the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle and was so excited to use it!  I thought it would be perfect for this challenge.  Inspired by the colors and pumpkins in the Inspiration Collage, I made quick work of putting this card together.

I created a shiplap background and added a couple of the pretty die cut pumpkins, as well as a pretty stamped and die cut pumpkin.  I stamped and fussy cut the beautiful sentiment in Coastal Cabana, then popped it up with a few Dimensionals.  A few Holiday Rhinestones were the finishing touch.

Sorry for the short and sweet post today.  It's been a week already and it's only Tuesday...this back to school stuff is kicking my tail!  I hope to be back later this week with more projects to share.

Happy Stamping!

Sketchy Control Freaks ~ Controls Freaks Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome to Septembers Control Freaks Blog Hop!  You may have arrive here from Melissa Davies of Rubber Funatics or you may just be starting.  Either way, make sure you hop your way all the way through!

This month we have a fun sketch that we are all playing along with.  It is so much fun seeing all of the different creations with the same sketch!

Fall is here and I am loving all of the rich fall colors that are all around!  I was drawn to the Harvest Meadow suite again for my first card.  I love the Harvest Meadow DSP and I broke out the Cork DSP for the first time too.  This paper is AMAZING!

I colored the cone flowers in shades of Daffodil Delight and Cajun Craze, which were actually inspired by some Mums that I just recently planted.  I used the Diamond Weave Ribbon as part of the sketch, weaving some Linen Thread through the diamonds for a pretty added touch.   The Happy Birthday sentiment from Peaceful Moments was heat embossed on Cajun Craze and die cut with the Tasteful Labels Dies.  This card will certainly make for a wonderFALL birthday card!

With fall comes the excitement of Halloween and the fun of creating cute Halloween cards!  The Cute Halloween DSP is so stinking cute and perfect for some adorable Halloween cards for the littles.  I love the cute little bats and fussy cut a few to incorporate into the sketch.

I layered up some fun patterns of DSP and added a heat embossed sentiment from the Cutest Halloween stamp set.  A few of the Cute Stars were added and this card is ready to send out next month!

Next up on the hop is my friend Wendy Weixler of Wickedly Wonderful Creations.  You're going to love what she has to share with you today!

Happy Stamping!
