Whimsical Wednesdays "Layer It" Challenge

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Whimsical Wednesdays! This time the challenge is to make a Christmas or Winter theme project and it must include LAYERS. Nanne from Nanne's Creations is sponsoring this weeks prize with Websters Scrapbook Pages.
I cut the card base and all the layers from Birthday Bash. I embossed the scallop white inner circle with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder and added white dots to the outside of the card using a gel pen. The reindeer was cut from Create A Critter and I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed And Bushy Tailed face. I used a white pen for the eyes, copics for the mouth, and chalk for the cheeks. I also cut pieces of twine and glued them to his scarf. The tag I cut by hand and added a sentiment that I printed off my computer. To finish the card I tied twine around the top, added a bow, and mounted the layers of the card togehter with pop dots. I hope you will play along this week and don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has come up with.
Also, don't forget to come back tomorrow when we will be starting the sneak peeks of the Whimsical Designs Stamps! These are the CUTEST STAMPS! I just love them and I know you will too! Have a great day!

Celebrate The Occasion Challenge #41

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Celebrate The Occasion! This week the challenge is Birthday and use the SKETCH. I am SO sorry, but I somehow lost the sketch somewhere on my computer, so please check out CTO for that.
I made this card by following the sketch. I cut 1 1/2 inch squares of paper for my background. The cupcake was cut from Simply Charmed at 2 inches and I hid the face with my Gypsy. I mounted it to a double matted frame that I rounded the corners on. I added the bow and sentiment which is a clear sticker from my stash.
Please make sure to check out what the rest of the DT has made and I can't wait to see what you will create!

Happy Sunday everyone! I am sorry that I have been MIA the last couple of days! I have been enjoying time with my family and SHOPPING!
This is a super quick card that I put together. I cut the penguin from Simply Charmed and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Winter Wonderland face stamp. I colored it with copics and chalk and embossed the bow with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug floder. The "JOY" was cut from Robots that I layered. To finish I tied a ribbon and bow.

For my project, I created this card. I printed and cut the snowman and bunny from Snow Friends using my Imagine. I pop dotted the second layer to the hat and like how the sweater texture looked. The tree I made by cutting a simple tall triangle out of cardstock. I then punched A TON of snowflakes with a punch and folded them in half. I then started gluing them to the triangle in layers starting from the bottom and working my way up. I just LOVE how it turned out. It looks like real branches and the texture it created is amazing. I embossed the background with the Cuttelbug Snowflakes folder and the snow with Poka Dots. I inked white over the snowflakes and wrapped twine around the top of the card. The sentiment is a sticker that I mounted to white cardstock and added a twine bow to the corner.
I hope you all liked my card and don't forget to go check out what the rest of the amazing DT has created! I can't wait to see what textures you will create! Have a great day!

Scraptastic Mondays Challenge #3

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Scraptastic Mondays! This time the challenge is to create any fold card you like, but not a shaped card or A2 single fold. It must include ribbon, and a cut from a die, Cricut, or a punch. You do NOT have to use a digi, so please come check out the new challenge and play along.
For my card, I made a Criss Cross card. The tutorial can be found HERE. I just love this fold card and I can't believe that this is the FIRST time I've ever made one! I used Cindy's Digi Xmas Penguin and colored it with Copic markers. The scallop mat behind the image and the tag pull is from the Lacey Circles Nestabilities set. I tied a ribbon for the pull and added a strip of matching paper to the indside card.
Please make sure to check out what the rest of the DT has for inspiration and I can't wait to see what you will create! Have a great day!

LFIF Recipe Card Challenge

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made for Peachy Keens LFIF challenge. This time the challenge is to make a recipe card and use a Peachy Keen face.
I got my inspiration for the girl from Miss Emma at My Creative Time. She showed how to print and cut the girl from Imagine Best Friends and stamp the face. So that's what I did. I don't have an E2, so I just flood filled the body with a skin tone and printed and cut it.
I made a Z Fold Pocket Card by cutting a 12 X 4 1/2 inch piece of cardstock. I scored it at 6 and 9 inches. I then cut a piece of cardstock at 2 7/8 X 4 1/2 for the pocket on the inside. I used a Sampin Up Poka Dot stamp and stamped the paper and cut and puched a trim piece for the pocket. I cut the girls body at 4 inches and her hair, shoes, and head I printed and cut. The only reason I printed and cut her head was to get the pig tails. I trimmed off the pig tails, glued them to the head and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids stamp. For her clothes, I used the Cricut Craft Room! I was able to size the clothes to her body. You are able to combine Imagine cuts and regular Cricut carts....I LOVE this feature in CCR! So I used the dress from Once Upon A Princess and the hat from Paper Doll Dress Up. I used a white pen and did some highlights on her dress and added some white trim to her dress and the ball of the hat. The list was cut from Christmas Cheer and I hand wrote Cookies at the top and some squiggle lines for the writing. I printed out the recipe and mounted it to cardstock. The gingerbread men were cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I used white and black pens for the highlights and stickles for the buttons. I added a tab by punching an oval shape, folded it in half, and added twine to the end and slid it into the pocket.  I also printed the inside sentiment from my computer and added Glossy Accents to the girls eyes.
I hope you survived my EXTREMELY long post and liked my card! Have a great day and thanks for looking!
I am going to link this up and Robins Creative Cottage in her linky/stamp release party!

Celebrate The Occasion Challenge #39

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Celebrate The Occasion! This week the challenge is to create a project with a Thanksgiving theme and you must use a PUNCH.
I cut the turkey from Create A Critter and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. I also used a black pen a did a stitching line around the tail. The background was embossed with the Cuttlebug Textile folder and I used a Fiskars corner punch and punched the corners. I also punched the leaves and added some to the hat and corner of the card. To finish I added a ribbon to the background and a bow to the corner.
I hope you all will play along this week and don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has created! I can't wait to see what you'll create! Have a great day!
I am going to enter this into the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl challenge which is to make a fall themed project and use the colors Red, Orange, and Brown and at least 1 Cricut cut.

Hot Chocolate Mug Card

Hello everyone! Here is a project that I made for when little one's come to my house during the Holidays! It might only be hot chocolate and a chocolate stir stick, but when it's packaged like this they seem to think it's so much more! LOL!
I made one of these last year if you would like to see that post and where to go for the template, click HERE. I actually made mine using my Gypsy, the mug from Gypsy Wanderings, and some images from George and Basic Shapes.
Hello Kitty was cut from Hello Kitty Greetings at 3.5 inches. The "Merry Christmas" pull tab I made by welding 2 together and folding in half, also cut from HKG. I embossed the front of the card with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder and added a ribbon. To finish I added the packet of hot chocolate and a chocolate stir stick.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges
1. My Creative Time Throwback Thursday- Create a project that is KID themed
2. Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday- 3D project
3. Getting Cricky Simple Sunday Challenge- Tea time, create a project with a hot beverage theme.

Whimsical Wednesdays "Happy Turkey Day"

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Whimsical Wednesdays! This time the challenge is to create any kind of project that has a Thanksgiving theme. 
For my project I made a card. The birds were cut from 3 Birds On Parade and I stamped the faces with Peachy Keen face stamps. I decided that I wanted a boy and a girl so instead of adding the pilgrim hat, I added the bonnet which was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up. The frame mats were cut from Love You A Latte. I added the ribbon and also cut the sentiment from the Imaginisce paper that I used on the top of the card.
I hope you all liked my card and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the amazing DT has come up with. I can't wait to see what you will create! Have a great day!

Scraptastic Designs Challenge #1!

Hello everyone! It's FINALLY here! The first challenge at Scraptastic Designs! This week the challenge is to decorate a gift bag or box and it must include a tag, stitching, and a button with a Thanksgiving theme.
For my project I decorated a pre-made gable box that I got from Annie's Paper Boutique. I used Cindy's digi Little Pilgrim Boy and colored it with colored pencils. I added Glossy Accents to the turkey, the buckle on his hat, and his eyes. I cut him out and mounted him to a matted frame that I cut from Once Upon A Princess. I made a belly band for the front of the box and added a piece of paper for the top. I cut the leaf tag from Straight From The Nest and added a button with a twine bow. I attatched it to strips of crinkle ribbon that I tied to the handle of the box.
I hope you all liked my project and will check out what the rest of the amazing DT has made for your inspiration. I can't wait to see what you will create! Have a great day!

I embossed the bag with Seeing Spots Cuttlebug folder and punched the bottom band with a Martha Stewart border punch. The tag is one of Cindy's digi's called Sweet Gingerbread Tags. I colored it with colored pencils and added a striped line to the frame to create the candy cane effect. I added Stickles to the berries, button, and white on the candy cane stripe. I then mounted it to a piece of red cardstock and trimmed around the edges. I tied a piece of twine to the tag and attatched it to the crinkle bow at the top.

LFIF Creepy Cute

Hello everyone! I know that Halloween is past but I wanted to enter this into Peachy Keen's Lets Face It Friday challenge. Also I just got Sweet Tooth Boxes and had to create something with it! LOL! The challenge this time is "Creepy Cute" and you must use a PK face stamp.
I cut the box and insert from Sweet Tooth Boxes at 7 inches. The cups holding the eyeball gum was also cut from STB's at 3.5 inches using the cupcake bottom. I used a set of PK eye stamps to stamp the insert and the front cover. I used a Copic marker to color in all the white aside from the eyes. The mummy was cut from Mini Monsters and I inked all the edges. I stamped the face with PK face stamps and colored the eyes and mouth with a Copic marker. The banner was cut from Birthday Bash as was the BOO font. I added some black floss to the banner and added bows to the edges.
I hope you all are having a great day and don't forget to come back tommorow for the Scraptastic Designs Blog Hop at 7pm! Also there is a new challenge up for Whimsical Wednesdays! This time the challenge is Anything Goes.
