Twinkle, twinkle

It has been along time since I've posted anything... I have been working both jobs and there has been no time for crafting. So today I thought that I would run up to the craft area for a bit and enter the current challenge over at Peachy Keen.

13-17 : Sketch Challenge

I started by making my little astronaut. I used the Cricut Lite B is for Boy cartridge and cut him out at 2 1/2 ", it's hard to tell but I used Acetate to make his space helmet. Then I stamped this adorable face from the Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids Assortment and a White Gelly Roll Pen, Bic Markers and some chalk to color in his face.

 I made my little green Alien using a Fiskars heart punch for his body and an egg shaped punch for his head. I used the Peachy Keen Simple Simons Assortment in 3/8, it made the perfect alien face. His spaceship is from the Cricut Boys Will Be Boys cartridge but I cut off the top antenna and feet and added some rhinestones.

The sentiment is from my newest Peachy Keen set that I just got last week Twinkle Twinkle Sentiments. Love this set it is very cute!

The background paper is from DCWV All About Boys Stack and the green stars paper is from Crate Paper Party Day collection  called Wish. I used Spellbinders Classic Circles, Star Circles and the Provocraft Spots and Dots embossing folder for my planets.

Make sure to head on over to the Peachy Keen Blog and enter the challenge yourself.

Late last night I made this card for the Peachy Keen Challenge 13-8, 3D Objects: Metal

I started by cutting this robot from the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge at 3", along with the shadow layer. I stamped his face from the Peachy Keen Monster Mash Face Assortment and colored in the eyes with a white Gelly Roll pen. I added a Metal Screw brad to him for some fun.

I pulled out my Cuttlebug and ran through a piece of Silver Metallic cardstock with the Craft Concepts Hexagon Illusion folder to give the background some dimension. I picked up this fun embossing folder and a few others at Crafty Capers, one of my LSS.

The sentiments are from Pink By Design's Friends Til The End and Spring Has Sprung stamp sets embossed in Stampendous Silver.

The front sentiment is cut out with a Spellbinders Grommet Tag Die and some Monster brads from the Eyelet Factory. The inside sentiment is cut using the Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio and attached with some American Crafts Ribbon.
