{SPD} Beary Special Baby

Hello Friends! Today myself and the rest of the SugarPeas have a little hop in store for you! Every other month we showcase the stamps and dies that were released the previous month- this is called the Sweet2Repeat blog hop! The project that I have made for you includes tons of SPD products, and I sure hope you like it! It was such a fun card to make!

I just love the set Welcome Baby, and Welcome Baby Accent sugar cuts dies. I did something a little different and added the head of the teddy bear from the set Bee My Honey (our May Sweet Incentive Program stamp set) and adhered to the onsie. I used the 'For a beary special' from that set as well, and cut the word 'baby' from Baby Diaper Pin sugar cuts. The sentiment flag and wee star are from Gift Tag sugarcuts, and the tag that I adhered the onsie to was cut using the Brainy Bookmarks die, just trimming it down a bit in length!

 I did some machine stitching, and added a mini wooden clothespin and hemp twine. I also distressed my papers with TH Frayed Burlap ink. I entered this card into the last Deconstructed Sketch challenge....

Here are the SPD supplies that I used:

{SPD} Sweet2Repeat hop- April

Hey Crafty friends! Today the SugarPeas are revisiting some of the stamp sets from our last release in our Sweet2Repeat blog hop!

I chose to use this sweet little scooter and one of the sentiments from the set Wanderlust. I stamped the scooter, then masked it and inked with a sponge, distress inks and a stencil. I then removed the mask and coloured the scooter with Copic markers. I added the sentiment, below, and also used an accent stamp (the little arrows), and stamped them in the same red distress ink that I sponged over the yellow DI. I added some enamel dots that coordinated with the DP I chose. The LO is from this weeks Deconstructed Sketch.

{KKS} Glitter & Glamour

This week our Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge is 'Glitter and Glamour'! I used the newly released Sparkle Fairy and made a glitzy gold and silver Christmas card.

I used glittery gold paper, textured silver paper and black CS to mat. I added some gold, silver and black sequins and a glittery gold Christmas tree button on top of black satin ribbon.

I used TONS of rock candy glitter, glossy accents, and wink of stella pen to really overload her with sparkle!

I used this weeks Deconstructed Sketch (175) for my LO.

Check out the Krafty Blog for more deets and inspiration! Happy Krafting!

{RC} YOU are my happy...

Hiya! Just popping in to share a card that I made for this month's Reverse Confetti Colour Challenge…

I used the new Fabulous Flamingo stamp set and coordinating Confetti Cuts. The sentiment is embossed in black and is from All About You stamp set (as is the inside sentiment). On the half circle panel behind the flamingos, I white embossed one of the circle patterns from the set Whole Lotta Dots and then lightly sponged over it in soft distress ink to really pick up the pattern. The banner dies are by MFT. I used the sketch from The Deconstructed Sketch #161. 

Here is the inside…I accidentally smudged the lime sentiment (I freakin' hate it when that happens!!! Grrrr!), but it was the last to go on, so such is life! I think I'll just give this to my hubby and he likely won't even notice, so oh well! haha

{RC} Quirky Cuties Hop!

Hey there! I'm super excited and honoured to be participating as a special guest for Reverse Confetti's Quirky Cuties Blog Hop! I am a colouring enthusiast, so this stamp line is one of my RC faves! They are such fun to colour…if you haven't picked one of these sweet characters up yet, I highly encourage you to! You definitely won't be sorry that you did- I have so much fun colouring these cuties!

You should have arrived from the oh-so-talented Stacey Schafer's blog!

I chose to work with the newest Quirky Cutie, Rocky Racoon…. I've coloured him with copics and a bit of black pastel pencil for the dark shadows. I glossed up his nose (love the heart noses!), eyes and paw pads with glossy accents. I fussy cut him out- His shirt is paper pieced- and used some foam dots to pop him up on an extended cut of the new Tag Me, Too Confetti Cut. 

You'll also see Arrow, Love Note, and Tag Me Confetti Cuts used on my card.

The inside of the card features the word dies from Tag Me, Too and sentiment from Rocky Racoon, stamped in Memento Luxe Nautical Blue.

Anyone interested in some PRIZES?? Oh yeah!  TWO random commenters will win:

Studio 3 Solutions Color Cubbie + 3 Quirky Cuties (winner’s choice)…so leave comments along the way to increase your chances of winning!

Up next on the hop is my uber talented friend and favourite kiwi, Miss Sarah Gough! And if you get a little lost along the way, you can always check back at the Reverse Confetti Blog for the complete hop list. Thanks for stopping by!

{PPC/TE} Blog Hop!

Hey there! I am super excited today to be paired up with one of Taylored Expressions Designers for a bit of an unconventional blog hop of sorts! 

Taylored Expressions and Perfect Paper Crafting are joining forces for some 'Crazy Dayz' of hopping! So instead of just one main Blog Hop, you'll get lots of different days to hop around to various designers blogs! Fun, huh?

I've used the really cute stamp and die set from TE called Love Bugs. I coloured with copics and added a jar die cut of thin vellum over top of the main jar die. It gives it a bit of a softer affect. I didn't adhere the vellum down (except under the lid on the top) so that you can lift it up to expose the love bugs underneath! Which have a bit of glossy accents and glitter on their lil' bums and wings, and gloss on the heart as well.

I know you are thinking 'WOW, she is genius!' right about now, but I cannot take credit for this one- I swiped the idea from my pal Sarah, who had me pining over this set ages ago :)

I used my trusty Perfect Paper Crafting tools: Perfect Layers Mini and Perfect Cutting Mat to get those oh-so-precise-layers! All of the panels are matted in 1/16" black CS. Use Jenny5% to receive a discount on all of your PPC products HERE!

Now head over to Taylored Expressions designer Kendra's blog to see what she has to show you! And remember to leave comments and 'like' Perfect Paper Crafting on Facebook for your chance to win! Both of these fabulous companies are giving away a $50 gift certificate!

Note: My layout is from the Deconstructed Sketch (#158) from a few weeks ago…I'm also adding this card to the Catered Crop Vellum challenge that's going on right now!
