Yes, you read the title right. I know it is still summer, but yesterday I drove through a storm that made me think it was winter. Well, back to the point of this post. My Pink Stamper had a winter challenge and here is the little circle shape card that I made for it. It is super simple, but that is what I do best :). Thanks for looking.
I made this card with the help of my sweet little Gypsy. I used the Christmas Tags and Mickey Font cartridges. The glitter paper is coredinations and I LOVE it. The camera doesn't do the paper full justice, but you should check it out for yourself, if you haven't already. JoAnn's carries the coredinations paper and you can get it for 20 cents a piece when they run their 5 for $1 sale.
Emma at My Creative Time had another Throwback Thursday Challenge. This one was with the Tinker Bell cartridge. I just had to join in because I am a total Disney nut and I LOVE Tinker Bell and her pixie friends.
These characters take a little bit of patience to put together but they sure are beautiful when they are done. I used my Xyron to add glitter to the wings and then I used my glossy accents on top to make them pop (My Craft Spot has a great video demo on this process). I used my EK Success Tinker Bell stamps for the Pixie Perfect sentiment. Have a great day!
I know we are a long way from Halloween still, but I had these cute Peachy Keen halloween and fall face stamps and had to put them to use and soon (these stamps are discontinued but SO CUTE) . So here is yet another Halloween card. I have Frankenstein's Bride designed but I didn't have time to cut it out and put it together... so that will have to wait for another day.
I thought it would be fun to put names on the wooden sign and use these as name plates for a Halloween party. Here is a view of the card opened up.
My little great-nephew is celebrating his 1st birthday today. He is such a cutie and he LOVES trains. This card just came to me and I LOVE how it turned out. I hope he likes it too.
I used the following items for this card: The train and monkey came from Create-a-Critter, the #1 candle is from Sweet Treats, the monkey's cute little stamped face is from none other than Peachy Keen Stamps. I mixed parts from two different sets to make the face. I used PK-493 (Everyday Character Face Parts) for the nose and mouth and I used PK-573 (Basic Paper Doll Faces) for the eyes. I also used my Versamarker to highlight the edges, my black marker for some dotting, some stamps for the sentiments and some brads for the train wheels.
My Creative Time had another Throwback Thursday Challenge. This challenge was to use a frame and to use Paper Doll Dress Up. I love this cartridge and I had a lot of fun with the challenge. I took Emma's idea of doing a lift up shaped frame and then I made it into a trifold card. This is what it looks like a folded up.
Then when you lift the spider web this is what you see...
Then when you pull down the spider flap you get this...
The pictures didn't turn out the best, so watch this video below. I used coredinations couture cardstock and all of that glitter doesn't photograph too well, but it is really fun to work with.
I used some Peach Keen fall face stamps that are discontinued now, but they made for some super cute faces on the ghost and the spider.

I was a little stumped on what to do for this challenge. The colors are not ones that I would normally use together. An idea came to mind of doing some bright colored candy and candy boxes (I turned the sketch around at a 90 degree angle).
Here is the sketch and below that are the colors we were supposed to use.
I used Peachy Keen Stamps Simple Sallies for the face. I used Christmas Cheer for the candy, George for the candy boxes, and From My Kitchen for the 'candy' and 'sweets' labels.
