Shine On!

This week I decided to combine two Blog Challenges into one. Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge#13-9 Just Cards: Oh My Stars and the Just Us Girls #178 Sketch Challenge.

This is the sketch that you had to use from Just Us Girls:

This is what I came up with, I think that the two challenges worked out perfectly together.

I started by using the Cricut Plantin School Book cartridge and cut out my star using the Roly Poly feature, so it is a little wider then the normal cut. I then pulled out one of my favorite stamp sets from Peachy Keen The Cornies Assortment. Added a little white Gelly Roll to the eyes and some chalk to the cheeks.

Oh My Stars ... She is such a cutie!

 I ran some blue cardstock through my Cuttlebug with the Provo Craft Stars Embossing Folder for the background and used the Spellbinders Classic Ovals to cut out my sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Pink By Design Illuminate stamp set and was perfect for my little star! It is embossed in Stampendous White Embossing powder.

Three little red star rhinestones from my stash to finish the card.

Illuminate the world with the light that shines deep inside your soul

The inside sentiment is also from the Pink By Design Illuminate stamp set and embossed with ColorBox Canary Yellow Ink and Clear Embossing Powder.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:

Swinging By To Say Hi!!!

Here is a fun little card that I made the other day for the Fun Friday Anything Goes Challenge over at Little Scrap Pieces.

It's an Easel card, I love making these types of cards, they are so much fun to display.

I  really like this fun banana paper  made by Reminisce called Goin' Bananas and Crazy Monkey Stripe from the Monkey Business collection.

I used the Create A Critter cartridge, Bazzill paper and some googly eyes to make this cute little monkey. I cut out the vines and ran them through my Cuttlebug with the Indentz Vine 1 folder then placed one on top and one underneath him to make him swing.

Both the sentiments come from Pink By Design's Jungle Fever stamp set, which I embossed in black. I used my Spellbinders Grommet Tag die to cut out the front sentiment and attached it using brads.

Isn't the banana so cute? I used The Cornies Assortment from Peachy Keen for his cute little face.... heeeheee.

Head on over and check out all the great entries for the Fun Friday Anything Goes Challenge... you still have time to enter yourself.

Happy Fright Night! Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #36

This week's challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog is 3-D Objects - Candles.

I found this candle that I had laying around and since it had this crackle effect on it, I thought that it was perfect for a Halloween candle.

Happy Fright Night!!!

I pulled out the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge and cut the ghost and the hairy purple monster at 2 1/2 inches. I used black embossing powder to emboss the ghost with the Peachy Keen Cornies Assortment in 5/8" and the purple monster with the Peachy Keen Monster Mash Face Assortment in 3/4".

The sentiment is from Pink By Design's A Haunting We Will Go stamp set inked in Memento Grape Jelly.

I stamped the sentiment inside of a Fiskars Halloween stamp set I had and then cut it out with my Honey Bee Scissors. I attached the sentiment  to the candle with two mini purple star brads and added a larger one  on top in the middle of the ribbon.

I cut a piece of black cardstock and used my Martha Stewart Fence Boarder punch and wrapped it around the base of the candle.

I just love this cute little pumpkin, I just got my order in the mail the other day and couldn't wait to use them. I cut two pumpkins from the CottageCutz Pumpkin Trio Die set with matching Peachy Keen Faces and adhered one to the front and one to the back.

Isn't he just so cute?!?  Turns out that the piece I cut for my fence wasn't long enough for this chunky candle so the little pumpkin came to the rescue and brought together my fence boarder along with some large Zots Dots.

You should head on over to Challenge #36 and take a peek at what everyone came up with.
