"Made in Minutes" with My Creative Time

Happy Monday and Happy Cinco de Mayo Crafty Friends!

Did you have a good weekend?  We had a great weekend with an overnight trip out of town to visit my college kid.  I'll share more at the end of my post.

 

Today I am excited to share that I am a Guest Designer over at My Creative Time for their "Made in Minutes" segment.  The idea is to create a card/project in 20 minutes or less.  This is made easier to do with Emma's fabulous stamps and dies.  I love my cutting machines, but I also love my dies!  I don't have a lot of space so I find that sometimes it is easier to get out my dies when I am creating.

 

I made a gift card holder to share with you.

 

 

Details:

My Creative Time dies and stamps -

"Embossed Gift Card Holder" die

"Puffy Hearts Just for You" stamp set

"So Grateful for You" stamp set

"Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO" dies

Papers are by Stampin Up - "Baked Brown Sugar" and "Coastal Caribbean"

Peachy Keen PK-1385 "Cartoon Bombshell" Face Assortment

The Twinery "Caribbean" twine

sequins

 

I love this gift card die!  It has been my go-to when I need to make gift card holders.

 

 

Now I'd love to share with you about my weekend.

(Sorry about the blurry/fuzzy pics.  It was sunny and bright out and I took these with my phone.)

This picture just about sums it up!  We had a great day at the track watching my oldest daughter compete for her University in their conference finals.  She made the podium in all 3 of her events, and came in first in 2 of them!  Her relay team is Nationally ranked and is heading to Nationals in 2 weeks.  And she set some new personal records too.  I am a super proud mom and it still makes me smile when I think about it.  She is only a Freshman so there are more great moments like this to come. 

 

Congrats to her and her University of La Verne team mates!!!

 

 

Have a great week and Thanks for stopping by!

 



Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Happy Hump Day Crafty Friends!

 

I'm back to share with you a little mid-week craft project.

 

 

As soon as I saw the April Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month set I knew I need to have these super cute flamingo stamps!

 

My parents' motorhome is decorated with lots of cute flamingos so I wanted to make them a little something.

 

Supplies:

$1 wood frame from Michael's

Minwax stain

PK-1382 "Flamingo Sayings" for the sentiment

PKSC-28 "April SOTM" set for the flamingos, paper pieced with DCWV "Spring Mix" papers

Lovebug Creations "Princess Party Pink" Rumple Ribbon

 

I will be linking up this project to the Peachy Keen April Release Party.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

What Up Chickie?

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

 

How was your weekend?  I had a great weekend but it went by way too fast.  My oldest came home from college for a couple of days since it's the end of her Spring Break.  We did a bit of shopping for college essentials, food, and a few fun crafty things.

 

Today is my day to share over at the Lovebug Creations blog.  I made a cute spring card using my new Peachy Keen stamp sets.

 

 

Details:

Shape card was made using a Spellbinders Scallop Square die, but I first folded the cardstock in half and then placed the die slightly over one edge.  This allowed for the die to cut one connected piece.

 

The patterned cardstock is from My Minds Eye "Happy Day" 6x6 stack.  I also cut this using the same die and glued it to the card.

 

PK-1375 "Faceless Chickens", stamped on patterned cardstock and cut out.

 

PK-1373 "Chickie Face Assortment", white gel pen

 

Lovebug Creations "Crushed" Rumple Ribbon

I'll be entering this card in the Peachy Keen Stamps Color Inspiration Challenge, 14-04.
 

 

Have a Great week and Thanks for stopping by!

 

Springtime Butterfly

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!

 

I'm back today to share with you a card I made for some challenges. 

 

I dusted off my Cameo and started playing with some svg files and papers.  Oh how I've missed svg files and paper piecing! 

 

Here is one of the cards that I made:

Details:

 

I made the shape card using the "Adorable Butterfly" svg from SVG Cutting Files.

 

The solid cardstock are from the Brights collection by Stampin! Up, and the patterned papers are from "Snap Color Vibe" 6x6 pad by Simple Stories.

 

The face is from the "In The Garden Face" set by Peachy Keen Stamps.

 

The sentiment is from the "Bug A Boo" stamp set by Jaded Blossom.

 

 

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

* Jaded Blossom - Crafter's Choice

* SVG Cutting Files - Spring Theme

* Peachy Ken Stamps - PK1402 Color/Photo Inspiration
