Frog Birthday Basket

LOOK! She even has a backside...LOL!

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Peachy Keen! This week the challenge is "3D Objects: Birthday" Create a 3D project of your choice with a Birthday Theme.

This little Birthday basket couldn't have turned out any cuter! I just LOVE it!
I used a file from My Scrap Chick called Critter Books to create the frog. This file is actually for a book, but I thought it would make such a fun basket. AND HOW CUTE is the back....lol!

To create the basket, I welded the suitcase from 3 Birds On Parade with a rectangle in the center for the outer wrap. The inside is a simple 1 inch tall box. I secured it closed by punching holes and using some Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine.
I stamped the eyes of the frog with Peachy Keen's Erkle And Merkle face stamps and the mouth with PK's Sweet and Silly Faces.
The "Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped using PK's Happy Birthday-Big stamp and the sentiment tag with PK's June 2012 SOTM set.








I hope you will all play along in the challenge and please don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's projects! Have a great weekend!

Winter Is For The Birds

Hello everyone! Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? I did...but I ALWAYS eat wayyy to much! LOL! 

I have a card to share with you today that I made using the New Think Snow stamp set and the Lacy Banners Metal Dies from My Craft Spot.

I cut the bird from 3 Birds On Parade and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face stamp. The background was embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder and I cut a strip of paper for the snow. The trees I created by using the Lacy Banners Metal Dies. These make the PERFECT trees! I cut 2 in green and 2 in white. I trimmed the tops off the white and glued them to the tops of the green ones to create the snow. I also added some stickles to the snow and simple strip of brown for the trunks. How cool is THAT?!? To finish I stamped that fun sentiment.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping in!

Grad Card

Hi everyone! The challenge over at Exploring Cricut this week is to use a cart that you HAD to buy and never use. When 3 Birds On Parade came out,  I HAD to have it! And guess what? I have used it ONCE! So this is the cart that I chose to use for this challenge. I even opted to use the font too!
I cut the graduate bird and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face. The diploma was cut from Everyday Paper Dolls and I added twine to it and the grad cap. I cut the font and shadows and matted them to square blocks. The bottom strip I double matted and stamped the sentiment across the entire bottom. This card turned out so cute, I might just have to use this cart alot more! LOL!

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!
