PDE Challenges #182 Guest Designer

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday!!

I am very happy to share that this week I am a guest designer for 

Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges!

This week the challenge is....

Down On The Farm.

I decided to make a fun little box to hold some candy for the challenge.

I purchased this cute little chicken coop box from SVGCuttingFiles and put it all together, being sure to ink the edges of all my kraft colored cardstock. I decided my coop needed a chick so I used one of the cute little chicken stamps from the June 2017 Peachy Keen Stamps stamp club set. I added adhesive to one half of her and adhered her to the coop. I also used one of the sentiments in the stamp set to place over the doorway. I filled the inside with some paper shred and some mini peanut butter cups (candy was hubby's choice lol). I think it turned out so super cute!

Be sure to stop by the PDE Challenges blog to see all the fabulous creations the DT made! 

I hope you will be inspired to join in and play along :)

(Sketch N Scrap #93)

Here is a look at the card that I created based on the sketch above:

To create my card, I picked some pretty papers from a My Mind's Eye paper pad that I've had for awhile. I was inspired by the pretty peachy colors in the paper pad. I used a wood grain paper and layered it on top of my white card base. I picked out a pale peach paper from the stack and used a embossing folder to create the small dots. I inked all my edges with Vintage Photo distress ink. I stamped out some flowers and used my Copics to color them in. I added them onto my card and added some white accents to the flower centers with a white gel pen. I added my greeting using a HELLO die and finished off my card with some iridescent sequins.  I think it came out so pretty and am very happy with the end result.

--Dies R Us: #59 Fall (Including Halloween)--

--PDE Linky Party: #142 All Cards--

Here is what I created for the challenges:

I'm still in Halloween mode so I couldn't wait to make another Halloween card. 

I dug deep in my stash for this one lol! The Halloween stamp is quite old and I honestly can not remember the last time I used it but it was perfect for the sketch. After I had my image all stamped up, I used a circle die to cut it out as well as the layering circles. I cut an orange strip, added some faux stitching, and added a spider web border to the back. I adhered it to my card base and added my die cut circles and image on top. I finished off my card with some doodles around the edge. Simple but I like it :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Happy Haunting Treat Box

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous Friday!

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a project that I created for the current challenge over at

Lawnscaping Challenges.

I decided to make a little treat box for the challenge.

I used the Scalloped Treat Box from Lawn Fawn and heat embossed my greeting from the Booyah stamp set onto the upper panel. I used a circle die cut to create my moon, as well as my geometric shape, and used some distress inks to color it and some water droplets for dimension on my moon. I colored my witch hat with some zig clean color real brush markers for a watercolor effect and popped my witchy ghost and the speech bubble up with some foam tape. I finished off my little box with some purple star confetti. The stars can count as a geometric shape too now that I think of it lol! 

I will also be entering this into the challenge over at

Easter Banner

Hey crafty friends!

Happy Hump Day!

Today I would like to show you the banner that I made for my March banner.

I'm going to try and make a banner every month this year! 

For this month, I decided to make a Easter banner for my home decor. 

This was really simple and quick! I used some chipboard coasters that I purchased over a year ago from PTI. Never quite knew what to do with them so they just sat. Then I saw them when I was rummaging through one of my bins and had a lightbulb moment lol! I covered each coaster with some patterned paper from an older 6x6 stack that I have also had for over a year then added a paper doily to each square. I added some circles to the centers of each doily and began decorating.

I added a little Easter basket full of eggs and a chocolate bunny to the left end. Some of the letter panels have some older paper flowers I've been hoarding and some have some Easter eggs that I die cut from the scraps left over from covering the chipboard. 

To the Right end, I added a little Chickie that just hatched. I punched some holes and attached each piece with some white satin ribbon.

 Here is a look at the entire banner. I absolutely love how it turned out! The best part is it took me less than an hour!! lol

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

1. Clear It Out: Stash (Patterned Paper Over A Year Old)

2. Creative Moments: #89 Anything Goes: Twist of Spring

3. Decorate To Celebrate: Anything Goes #6

4. DoubleClickSkittles: Bunny, Basket or/and Egg(s)

5. PDE Linky Party: Anything Goes

I've had the Chirpy-Chirp-Chirp stamp set from Lawn Fawn for a couple of weeks now but haven't used it until today. I was so excited to finally pull it out and play with these cute images for these challenges. After I had my images colored in, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also used a grass die from MCT. I heat embossed the greeting using some pale blue embossing powder that ended up being a pretty good match to my blue cardstock. I added some white faux stitching with my gel pen to the tag and some clear Wink Of Stella to the egg and paint. I finished off my card with some iridescent sequins. The inside reads,

The birthday greeting as well as the bows on the balloons came from the Birthday Bits stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

I hope you are all having a great day!

We were snowed in for a bit this past weekend and I was able to get a little crafting in while I watched the snow fall outside. I love watching it snow, as long as I'm inside lol! 

I decided to make this fun little winter card for the current 

Lawnscaping Challenge: Watercoloring

I placed some ink from some distress markers onto a craft mat and added some water to create my watercolors. I colored my walrus and the ice he is sitting on as well as my Stitched Journaling Card. I added a bit of glossy accents to the ice, which faded my watercoloring just a little. It was a happy accident though cause it looks more like ice :) I finished of my card with some sequins and a fun little bow.

Snowflake Christmas Card

Hey everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

Today I have a simple but pretty Christmas card that I made for a few challenges.

The first challenge is the December Card Sketch challenge over at Scrapbook.com.

I made my card using sketch #3 which is this one by Susan Stringfellow:

Here is the card that I created based on the above sketch:

My card was pretty simple once I had the papers I wanted to use all picked out. For that, I used some pattern papers that I have had in my stash for awhile now and am trying to use them up. I matched up some of my solid cardstock to the colors in the patterns and got busy layering up my card. Once I had all my layers on my card, I added some faux stitching with my gel pen. I used a snowflake die from My Creative Time to cut out my snowflake and then adhered glitter all over the flake. I added some bling, that I have also had for awhile, onto my snowflake and to the bottom and top corners of my card. I finished off my card with some twine. 

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

~Shopping Our Stash #231: Let It Snow ~

Merry Christmas Snowflake Card

Hey everyone! I hope your Wednesday is going great!

Today I have a card to share with you that I made for a couple of different challenges.

The first challenge is for the December Card Sketch Challenge over at Scrapbook.com. My card was based off of sketch #5, which is this sketch:

(Sketch credit: Aga Malyszek for Studio Callico)

Here is the card that I created based on the above sketch:

 For my card, I used some awesome snowflakes from the Snow Sweet stamp set by Pink & Main and heat embossed them in white onto some white cardstock. Then I took 3 different distress inks and blended them all together over my snowflakes. I adhered that panel onto some silver glitter cardstock and attached that to my card base. For my greeting, I heat embossed a greeting from Lawn Fawn with some silver embossing powder, notched the ends and popped it up onto my card with some foam adhesive. Super easy and it is so much prettier in person. My picture definitely did not capture all the shimmer and sparkle. Sorry about that. 

The other challenges I am entering my card into are:

I thought it would be super cute to build this snowman from the Christmas Open House from SVG Cuts and fill it with some candy for a fun little Christmas gift.

It was so easy to put together and it went together fairly quickly. I added some enamel dots for his eyes and buttons and some black bling for his mouth. I also tied some threads together to act as his little scarf. For his hat, I used some gold metallic cardstock for his hat band and then added just a bit of holly leaves with some red bling for the berries.
