If You Give A Crafter A Cookie #62

Happy Thursday!!
Today starts a new challenge over at
If You Give A Crafter A Cookie

We have two sponsors for this challenge. They are:

Elisabeth Bell
and
The Cutting Cafe

Here is a look at the Cookie Inspiration Photo for this challenge:

So pretty! I love those polka dots!!

Here is the card I created based on the above cookie photo:

I used a file from one of our sponsors, The Cutting Cafe, called "I Heart U Word Shaped Card".

 I love the polka dots on the cookies in the photo so I went with some polka dot paper for my heart on my card. I added some fun shaker bits of small hearts, micro beads, confetti and small sequins to the center.

I stamped my greeting and curled it a little with my bone folder to give it a little dimension. I added a heart button with a crochet thread bow to the middle. The file even came with an envelope. I cut that out and then adhered the polka dot heart that was cut from the center of my card to the bottom front corner. I finished off my card and envelope with some fun white doodle with my gel pen. This card is going to my hubby for Valentine's day. I hope he likes it :)

Be sure to stop by the

For my project I created a card that showcases a few of my favorite things.

For my card, I cut out that adorable ice cream cone from the Ice Cream Cuties set from KaDoodle Bug Designs and I layered a greeting from the Ice Cream Social stamp set from Scrappy Moms Stamps on top. I added a few sequins and some cute little peachy keen faces and of course some ribbon and my card was pretty much done. 

Here are some of my favorite things that were showcased on my card today:

(in no particular order)

1. Pattern Paper! I can't seem to make a card without it. 

2. Ribbon!! I love incorporating ribbons and bows on my projects. 

3. Stamps!! Whether it is faces, images, or greetings. I love them all!

It's almost the weekend! Yay!!!

Today I have another project to share with you for the

Happy Tuesday!!

Are you guys ready for another great challenge from Scrappy Moms Stamps??

The theme for this terrific Tuesday challenge is: Time To Play! Incorporate game/playing into your project.
Here is the card that I created for this challenge:

For my card, I decided to make a masculine birthday card. They are definitely not my strong point but I think this one came out pretty good. My entire family loves playing video games so when I saw this file in the silhouette store, I had to have it! For my greeting, I used the Hooray For Birthdays stamp set from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

Scrappy Moms Stamps July Release Project 2

Happy Sunday!!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Today I have another project to share with you for the 

Scrappy Moms Stamps July stamp release. 

For this project I used the new stamp set titled:

Random Acts of Kindness

I love the cute little smiley face on this stamp set so I decided to do some embossing resist and make a fun rainbow type of pattern with some of my distress inks. I simply used some white embossing powder and then rubbed some distress all over the white cardstock panel. The embossing resists the ink. Cool huh? I finished off my card by using that super cute greeting, also from the Random Acts of Kindness stamp set.

Here is another look at the stamp sets that were released on Friday:

Scrappy Moms Stamps July Release

Happy Friday!!!

Today Scrappy Moms Stamps is releasing two new stamp sets!!

WooHoo!!!

Here is the first card that I created for this release using the new stamp set titled

CowBoy Up!

This little cowboy boot card from the Silhouette store was so cute and I thought it went perfectly with the new Cowboy Up! stamp set. My mom and I often say Howdy to each other instead of Hello so this card will be perfect to send to her and I really think she will get a kick out of it and love it!!

This is a swing card. The two boot layers are held together with a brad so that the card swings open.

DCWV July Stack-a-holic Challenge

Hey everyone!!

I hope your Wednesday is going great!!

Today I have a card to show you that I made for the 

DCWV July Sketch Challenge

The sketch is so fun for this month!

As soon as I saw it, I immediately thought of a welcome baby card with little dresses hanging. 

Here is what I made:

For my card, I used the Nana's Nursery Baby Girl for all of my patterned papers. One of the prints in the stack has some really cute little dresses on it. I simply fussy cut some of them out so that I could hang them across my gift card pocket. I added some glossy accents to the dresses. I finished off my card with a few pearl touches 

All I had laying around my house to use as a template for my pocket was a Itunes gift card. When the time comes to give this card to someone, there will be a more appropriate gift card purchased haha! This one was just to show what goes in the pocket. :) 

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

I really appreciate it!!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge---Use A Star

Happy Tuesday!

Are you guys ready for another great challenge from Scrappy Moms Stamps??


The theme for this Terrific Tuesday Challenge is: Twinkle Twinkle!  Use a star on your project.
Here is the card that I created for the challenge:

I love that greeting from the Designer's Choice 2 stamp set! I thought some glittery stars would be the perfect compliment to it. I simply cut out a lot of stars from some glitter cardstock using a a couple of different size star dies. I randomly placed them all over my white cardstock layer. I trimmed off any that were hanging over and attached that panel to my card base. I stamped my greeting onto another piece of white cardstock and added a blue glitter star and layered that on top of some pink glitter cardstock and then some black cardstock. I attached that little panel using some foam tape for a little dimension. I finished off my card by adding some silver star confetti to fill in some of the gaps. I also traced over the word SPARKLE with my clear wink of stella glitter pen. Such an easy card to put together but I love the way it turned out. It has so much more sparkle to it in real life.

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

One more day until the weekend!!

Yay!!

Today I have a fun little card to show you that features one of those 

Cutie KaToodles from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

I love love love all things nautical, especially anything Navy related so I had to have this cute little Sailor to make a card with him. For my card, I used some fun patterned papers from Carta Bella. Once I had my base layers added to the actual card base, I got to work on building the cute little Anchor Bear. After I had him all assembled, I placed him onto some light blue paper, also from Carta Bella and stamped my greeting from Scrappy Moms Stamps along the top. I think he is absolutely adorable!!

Happy 4th Of July!!

Happy Thursday!!

I have a super simple shaped card to share with you today that features one of the 

Cutie KaToodles from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

For my card, I used some circle dies from We R Memory Keepers to create my card base and light blue inner layer. I then cut out that adorable little Cutie KaToodle Bald Eagle and popped him up onto the front of the card. I thought it would be cute if was was holding a little banner flag while he was whizzing by on his firecracker so I stamped my greeting from Scrappy Moms Stamps onto some white cardstock and notched out the ends and cut a thin strip of red cardstock and voila! I simply glued the red strip to his wing and put some foam adhesive behind the banner flag.

This weekend is going to be pretty busy around my house so in case I don't get back on here before then, I hope all that are celebrating the Fourth Of July have a great one filled with lots of good food and great memories! Be safe out there this weekend!!

Project 3 for the Scrappy Moms Stamps June Release

Happy Wednesday!!

Today I am back with a project that showcases a greeting from one of the new stamp sets from the Scrappy Moms Stamps June release.

I decided to make a center step card and use that sweet little greeting from the new
Writing On The Wall stamp set.

To make my card base, I simply followed a tutorial from Split Coast Stampers. After I had my card base ready to go, I added some fun patterned papers. I found this cute little bear sleeping on the moon in the silhouette store and thought it went perfectly with the little icons on the greeting. The Writing On The Wall stamp set has so many cute sayings and I love that some of them even have little pictures/icons that can be colored in for just a little pop of color. I colored in the moon, stars and little heart on my greeting incorporating some of the colors found on my patterned paper.  I love that little extra touch. 

Here is a complete look at the new stamp sets that were released this month.
