Terrific Tuesday: Rock Princess

This week's Terrific Tuesday challenge over at Scrappy Moms Stamps is to create a project using the Rock Princess cartridge. If you've been following me, you know that Rock Princess is my current favorite cartridge. Woohoo! I had so much fun creating this card. I purchased this awesome glitter paper from AC Moore quite some time ago. It's a 12x12 sheet and it's a lightweight chipboard. It's so awesome and I think it looks great paired with the zebra print, which is from a Paper Studio stack called Safari that I purchased at Hobby Lobby. Yay! I gave her a rhinestone belt and some glossy red shoes and she's ready to have a fabulous day!

That adorable face on my birthday girl is Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed Kids and that sentiment stamp is from Emma's Wow! So Many Candles set.  The frame around the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Fillable Frames. I love being able to stamp around the frame.

Happy Bee Day/Peachy Challenge #1

The first challenge of the year over at Peachy Keen is to create a project with a pocket. The design team made so many inspiring projects. I needed a birthday card for a close friend and I've been having trouble coming up with something special, but the juices sure were flowing after visiting the Peachy blog!
 

My bee was cut from Create a Critter and her face was stamped using one of my favorite Peachy sets, Happy Lashes.  Tonight I was reminiscing about when I was not able to use Peachy faces because I had no way to "hide contour" on my Cricut projects. I had the Gypsy, but it took a while before Provo Craft added that feature. It was such a sad time back then. LOL.  Those faces really add such character and life to each cut. Ok, back to my project.

The card base was cut from Lacey Labels. I used my Gypsy to weld the image together. The sentiment stamp on the outside is a Pink By Design set called Honey Pie. It's full of cute "bee" sentiments. I also added some glossy accents to her flower antennae and her wings. I just love this cute little bee!

On the inside, that little tag is from Emma's Build a Banner kit and so is that hounds tooth background. Isn't it adorable?! The sentiment on the inside is from Emma's Polka Dot Surprise set. Another gem. All Emma's stamps are amazing.

Be My Sweetie

 

I enjoy playing with non traditional colors for holidays and I came up with this yellow and kraft color combo for Valentine's Day. I think it's cute and Valentine-y in it's own way. I used Emma's stamp set called 100% Sweetness for the the all of the stamps. I used the stitched heart die included in this set for the twin hearts and that small die for the sentiment is from Emma's Build a Banner kit.  I thought I purchased a thicker sheer black ribbon, but it was this one instead. I'm not thrilled with it, but it's all I had. I'll pick some up at Joann's tomorrow. The background is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder whose name escapes me right now. I added some rhinestones in the center of some of the flowers to add some sparkle and I colored the center of each flower with a white gel pen.

A few more quick cards

I am on a roll creating quick cards. I just love how simple these are. I have one sheet left of my white cardstock. Thank goodness my Papertrey order just shipped. Yikes!

The first card's image is a Whipper Snapper stamp called "Little Girl with Dotted Present". She's just so adorable, isn't she?  The sentiment is from Emma's set called Wow, So Many Candles.

The second image and sentiment are both from Papertrey Ink's Green Thumb set.

The final image is from the Sweethearts cartridge and that adorable face is Peachy Keen's Cute & Cuddly samp set. The inside is a PTI Fillable frames set and the sentiment is from Emma's So Grateful for You set.

It's a dog's life

Emma's Friday Tip of the Day over at My Creative Time last week was showing how elegant simple cards can be. I just fell in love with the simple design and couldn't wait to make one of my own. My stamp is a Penny Black cutie called "I'm so cute" and isn't he?! I love this puppy!  The sentiment is from a Pink By Design set called Furry Friends. I colored him with Copics and added a simple black line around the whole card. I love how elegant and clean it looks!

I left the inside simple too, with some stamps from the same PBD set. Thanks for looking. And thanks for inspiration, Emma!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge

 

Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday challenge this month is to create a project using a cartoon character. I'm using the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge and she's all dressed up in her adorable rain gear.  That background paper is from a 6x6 My Mind's Eye pad called Quite Contrary. It is such a whimsical stack. That perfect sentiment is from Emma's set called Turn That Frown Upside Down. I added some twine and glossy accents to complete this card. I just love Hello Kitty. 

 

 

My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #40: It's Delicious

Kimberly's challenge over at My Craft Spot this week is to make something delicious out of paper! Well, I was in need of a Thank You card and I don't know of anything sweeter than a juicy, sweet strawberry! My mouth is watering just thinking of a big old bowl of them. The yummy fruits are from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Green Thumb set. The paper is a My Mind's Eye 6x6 stack called Quite Contrary. I added some twine because I was finally in a twine-kind-of-mood. Sometimes I add twine and I don't feel it enhances my project, but I see other projects with it and love it. I'm very pleased with this simple, sweet card.
