Cupcake Thanks Candy Sticks...{Challenge Project}

Good Morning everyone! 
I am popping in with a non DT related project, but with an entry for a few challenges!
It has been a while since I played along with any so I thought I would share an order I just completed that happened to fit into a few I love to play along with.
A friend of mine contacted me looking for some birthday party favors. She wanted some candy sticks, purple~her daughters favorite color~ a birthday theme with a thank you message so these are what I created.
Hope you like them!
Candy sticks are so fun to make! Decorating the tags to fit the theme, have just endless possibilities. For my tags, I used some freebie images I got from Paper Smooches (links down below) and I designed them to fit inside my circle and scallop die cut~ all using my Silhouette Designer Studio.
Once I had the design in place, I printed and cut the shapes, assembled the tag and then added diamond stickles to the frosting and cotton candy stickles to the cherries.
Once they were all dry, I attached them to my skinny candy bags (already filled with white and purple candy jewels) with some Grape Fizz Trendy Twine.

Supplies Used:
Purple, white cardstock
diamond stickles
cotton candy stickles

 And there are my treats. I am sure hoping my friend and the birthday girl love these!!!
That is all I have to share for today. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!

Scrapping the Little Things.....w/MCT

Good Morning everyone!!
Welcome to "Scrapping the Little Things" with My Creative Time
where we share Project Life, Smash book or Scrapbook LO's using MCT stamps and dies!
*************************
For today's "Scrapping the Little Things", the DT was given this inspiration photo to base our projects on 
and since this past weekend was the 4th of July and we always spend it at my in~laws cottage on Lake Chautauqua, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to scrap one of my FAVORITE pictures I took of my oldest son Casey tubing. I think he would spend all day riding around if we gave him the chance...LOL! 

So here is my smash page.....
I used TONS of MCT products for my page and I always forget how rewarding it is to complete a page. I really need to make time to create more pages to fill up my book. I know I have the best intention when I snap these pictures :)
I ended up using the colors from the photo and the water from the picture as my inspiration for this page. I had a bunch of pictures I took with my FIL and hubs took him out and LOVE how the photobooth die let me add a few of them while still having my page focus on that great picture of Casey. I added just a few extra elements to this page, the machine stitching to the banner pieces and some random sequins but let all the awesome MCT stamps and dies do the story telling :)
My Creative Time Products Used:
Other Products Used:
Kraft, Red and White cardstock
Sequins
Sewing Machine
Faded Jeans Distress Ink
Sky Blue Pigment Ink
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

That is all I have for now.... I really hope you have enjoyed my smash page!
Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!
I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!!

Christmas in July...PKS New Release Blog Hop!

Hi everyone and welcome to the 
Peachy Keen Stamps July New Release Blog Hop!

The past two days have brought some positively adorable creations for Christmas using these new stamps, and tonight, we are thrilled to be able to share this new release with you in its entirety! The past two days have been filled with adorable snow people, elves, Christmas ornaments and greens, as well as sweet new peachy faces!

 The time we've been waiting for has finally arrived! It's time for us to share our July 2014 Release with you! These stamps are now available at Peachy Keen Stamps and we know these adorable designs are going to have you excited to start creating all of your holiday projects.
We've got a little blog hop going on in celebration of these new stamps.

if not, 
head on back to the beginning~ 
over at the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog~
you are not going to want to miss a thing!

Now onto my project... which I think is so super ADORABLE if I must say so myself :)
I can not get enough of these ADORABLE new snowmen!!! For my card I used the new Snow Hugs Snowman and the cute matching sentiment for my card. I started with a Kraft cardstock base and added a layer of white and designer paper for my mats. Taking that through my sewing machine for a little bit of an extra border, I placed that aside and went onto paper piecing my snowman cutie! After stamping the image onto my designer paper, I cut out the scarf, gloves and hat and pieced them onto my image. I added some diamond stickles to the edges of the gloves and the hat, LOVE that extra sparkle!
To embellish my card further, and to go in theme of the adorable sentiment, I added a bunch of MCT die cut hearts. I even added 2 in place of my snowman's buttons....SO CUTE!
The snowman was then popped up onto my card front, after I added some chalk and white gel pen to his cheeks and some copic highlights to her body.
Here is the side pic of my card and another view of the CUTE new snowman!!!!

Christmas In July... PKS July New Release Sneak #1

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
No, no, no… NOT outside, but at Peachy Keen Stamps it’s looking a whole lot like Christmas!!

Welcome to our annual Christmas in July Release!
Here we are celebrating Christmas in the midst of Summer and 4th of July celebrations!  This is a much anticipated event for us, and tonight we kick off our sneak peeks by showcasing five adorable stamps sets that will have you excited and ready to get started on your 2014 holiday projects.   You DO know there are only 174 days left until Christmas don’t you?   Take a break from the Summer heat and grab something cool to drink and join us as we share projects made with:
PKSC-31 July 2014, 
PK-1410 Christmas In July Faces (Assortment and 1 1/8″ sizes), 
PK-1412 Snow Hugs Snowman, 
and 
PK-1413 SMILE Snowman.

 I have 2 cards to share for tonight...so lets get started!
Isn't this snowman adorable??? I just LOVE Kathy's drawings!! 
I did a bunch of paper piecing with this guy, for his hat, scarf and mittens and then added some stickles to the fluffy parts :)
Keeping my card simple, I used a pattern paper for the background and then added some randomly placed snowflake dies (stickled up of course) to the background. Using the sentiment from the stamp set, I added it to the center of another snowflake die...popping it up for some more dimension.
Here is a side view of that adorable snowman!!!!

Other Products Used:

And then for my next card....
I am not so sure I like the LO of this one. I had something pictured in my mind and it didn't turn out as I thought :( Maybe is it that background paper.
BUT I LOVE those singing elves!!!!
I colored them both using my well used copic markers.... I need to get a few of them refilled
(doesn't that always seem the case...have a project to do and then your markers run out...couldn't go to the store at 11pm either..oh well)
To add some more to the images, I used my white gel pen and some chalk for the face as well as some random doodles. 
Some silver stickles to match the silver jingle bells, some Trendy Twine and the sentiment placed behind a punched out window and my card was completed.
Another side view of the CUTE elves!

How super adorable are these new dies?? The possibilities are endless for sure!!!
OMG cuteness to the MAX and that pup is only one that Miss Emma has added to this new release. 
Here is how I made this card...it was super easy! I started my card with a white card base and added my layer of designer paper~ Cloud 9 Designs Dog Chitchat. Then using all the colors from the designer paper, I die cut several pieces from the new Loyal Friends stamp and die set to make my puppy "scene"
Everything was then layered onto the largest Bunch of Fun Circle Dies. Finally for the sentiment, I used again the new Loyal Friends stamp set, stamping it onto the Stitched Square Speech Bubble Die and popping it up to look like the cutie pup is saying it :)

My Creative Time Products Used:
Stitched Square Speech Bubbles

I did make another card using the same set as well.... Just can not get enough of these adorable pups!
For this card I made a treat jar with some dog bones inside...It is a shaker card, the bones will move around a bit but my intention was to make the dog look like he was watching the jar of treats :)
