Welcome Baby {SugarPea Designs Colour Challenge}

There is a brand new challenge over at SugarPea Designs...it is a COLOUR Challenge and the first colours are SO pretty!!! I couldn't wait to get out my new Welcome Baby stamp and die set to make a baby card! I think the colours are perfect for a baby card! I am also linking to the current Paper Issues Linky party.

 

I used a doily to create a "feminine" feel to my card and kept the design simple. I stamped each letter to spell "baby" in Strawberry Slush ink and cut out the blocks with my scissors.

One of the new dies is this adorable rocking horse! I just used the die and found some yellow polka dot designer paper in my stash! Simple and easy! 

Come and play along with us to win a credit to the store!! You do not have to use SugarPea Stamps but we love it when you do!

Purple Onion Designs Sale & a Few Challenges

Good morning stamping friends! Today I am sharing a card I made for a couple of challenges! This wee owl is in a white out! Yep, cold and snowy here!!! I had fun using some of the adorable Purple Onion images...and they are all 25% off until Wednesday, Dec. 10th!!!

I inked up each stamped image and then fussy cut them out. the "lights" were stamped directly onto the background first! I kept my design clean and simple, and had fun with arranging the images.

I used the following stamps:

Cocoa Stand

Lights

Louis

Joy to the World {CASE this Sketch & Merry Monday}

Happy Thursday! The weekend is near and there is so much to be done with Christmas on its way! Today I am sharing my design team card for CAS(E) this Sketch! I love being on this team, it pushes me as a card designer! The sketch this week was a toughie for me...I was really struggling but then something happened! 

I was making my Art Impressions card for today and I realized that the oval I had used for my main image was too big, so I placed another oval "inside" of the original oval I had cut and voila! I had my oval "outline". So I decided to use an oval outline instead of a rectangle outline! Yay!

I cut my background white and using the "stamping off" technique, I stamped 3 pine boughs in the top corner...I only inked once and then stamped off two more times, to give it more depth. Then I placed the oval on my card but cutting some foam dimensionals into small pieces. Then I stamped the image inside on the main card front. Then I die cut the bird and popped him up in the "tree". 

This card took minutes to make...I think about 10 minutes in total! 

I used the Verve Sentiment called Every Heart Plain Jane. I LOVE it! Anything with a music reference is wonderful!

SugarPea Designs 2014 Holiday Release {Day 1}

Welcome to Day 1 of SugarPea Designs 2014 Holiday Release - our LARGEST release yet and all just in time for the holiday crafting season!!  Today we are extremely excited to start Sneak Peek Week off with the introduction of Sugar Cuts (our Brand NEW line of wafer-thin steel dies) and our Sweet Chic Collection of clear stamp sets – all designed by our very own Simonne Clay.  Simonne’s graphic and playful style shines through everything she does– and we know you are going to love it just as much as we do.   

I absolutely LOVE that we now have dies at SugarPea Designs and these dies are absolutely perfect for making the most adorable "sweet treats" for Christmas!!! Anyone who knows me understands that I am OVER THE TOP when it comes to Christmas!!! I LOVE making Christmas cards and tags and decorating my home. It is a full on love affair with the holidays!!! So today I am sharing a pillow box, a tag and a matching card!

  

I made this card using the challenges at The Challenge.! I wanted to play along with Virginia's View Challenge which is to go Metallic and the Paper Issues Challenge is Happy Halloween but I was allowed to use just word HAPPY and Christmas makes me happy! SRM Kraft Pillow Boxes and Burlap bags also make me happy!!! So I am linking up there too! Christmas is the perfect time to use gold or silver and so I just had to get out some gold glimmer paper, some gold embossing powder and my heat gun!

These dies are SO sweet and they do the paper piercing for you!!! Love that my tag has the little pierced marks in it! Easy peasy!

I used  just the new tag and die cut a tag from the scrap paper left from my card. Then I added the same elements as the other two projects I made.

Don't forget…our entire Holiday Release will be available in the SugarPea Designs Online Boutique at 6:00 PM EST this Friday, November 7th. This are the items I used today to make my projects. I also used the pretty paper from Teresa Collins called Tinsel.
