Anything But a Card 12: Share the Love

Today at Anything But a Card we begin a new challenge perfect for the season: Share the Love- anything related to hearts, Valentines, love sick, love struck, love stinks, red, cupid, honeymoon, wedding, get the idea?  So this is a nice broad category that should generate lots of fantastic entries!  Be sure to link yours up at the challenge home. Also check out the other fabulous DT projects. For my project I used my Paper Made Bakery Kit and the Fresh Squeezed Hot, Hot, Hot stamp set. It's a simple jar to hold coffee for a valentine's treat to my mom.

Freshly Made Sketches 70

Here's a simple card made for the Freshly Made Sketches blog using my Paper Made Bakery Kit and my Fresh Squeezed Stamps Hot Hot Hot set. This is also for the Sqeeze-A-Palooza Valentine's challenge from Fresh Squeezed Stamps.

Pumpkin Spice Shop Challenge #3

Here's a simple card created with my Paper Made Bakery kit and for the Pumpkin Spice Shop challenge to make a card with a coffee theme. I love coffee and tend to drink mine in to go cups from Dunkin so this coffee cup is my favorite one from the Hot, Hot, Hot stamp set from Fresh Squeezed Stamps.

Anything But a Card Challenge 11: Tie It Up

I created the cute coffee treat holder for the latest challenge at Anything But a Card. This week we are challenging you to "Tie It Up" which is basically to use fibers in some way. As you can see I used some ribbon and some twine. All the supplies for this treat holder (including the holder) are from my Paper Made Bakery Kit with the Hot, Hot, Hot stamp set from Fresh Squeezed Stamps.

Shopping Our Stash 84: Use Old Buttons

I seem to be much more inspired to create Christmas cards now that the season is over but at least I will have some ready for next year when I hit the Christmas creative slump again. This week at Shopping Our Stash they are asking for old buttons. While most of my card is from my relatively new November Paper Made Bakery kit, the buttons are from a variety of past kits. I always have a few buttons left over when I've created my 10 kit cards and I add them to a cute owlie dish on my table which I raided for this project.

Anything But a Card Challenge 10: Things with Wings

Our first challenge for 2013 at Anything But a Card is Things with Wings. I love that this challenge is so simple that you could create a wide range of projects. I used it to get a jump start on Valentine's day by making a treat holder with some butterflies. The paper is from my new Paper Made Bakery Kit but the 'sweet' sticker and the Kreaxions butterfly punch are old products from my stash so this is perfect for the Our Daily Bread Designs new/old challenge too.

Jingle Belles 13:01 Look What Santa Brought Me

Jingle Belles is a challenge blog aimed at getting Christmas cards done before December. Participating in their challenges has certainly saved me come December so I'm hoping to fit in a few challenges this year as well. Their first challenge of the year is "Look What Santa Brought Me" where you use some brand new goodies. So in this card I used some brand new paper borders and my Paper Made Bakery November kit.

Mama Elephant Color Challenge 1

I'm not very good with color challenges. I prefer to keep it simple and work with a single paper line but I wanted to share a creation with my Mama Elephant stamps. I have used them before but I don't get to share much because I'm only home during the daylight on days I don't have work. So I took advantage of this time off to enter this challenge. I used the colors and it may be hard to notice in the picture but I sprayed the card with glimmer mist to add the glitter element. The stamp set is Believe in Magic. The papers are from my November Paper Made Bakery Kit.

Squeeze A Palooza #2

I made this card for Squeeze a Palooza. Squeeze A Palooza is a challenge from Fresh Squeezed Stamps and the theme this month is Christmas. I used the Christmas Treats set for the sentiment and the little candy cane on the end. The paper and embellies are from my Paper Made Bakery Kit.

Paper Made Bakery October Kit

 I wanted to share all the cards I made with the October Paper Made Bakery Kit. There is enough material including cardstock to make 10 cards but there is always plenty leftover and of course the stamp set keeps giving. 

As you can tell from my cards, the bees and bird from the Fresh Squeezed The Sweet Life stamp set were my favorite.

The Bazzill Basics Avalon collection and stickers were also fun to play with.

The variety of buttons and ribbon also force me to get a little creative because I tend to stick to just patterned paper even though I own tons of fun embellies.

I packaged up most of the leftovers with some additional cardstock to pass on the my sister and I'm sure she'll get another about 8 cards out of it. Love these kits!

CAS(E) this Sketch #4

I love the sketches at CAS(E) this Sketch but I also love patterned paper so it's a bit tricky for me to be as CAS as others but I'm trying. I created this card with my Paper Made Bakery kit from October. The November kit was revealed yesterday so be sure to check it out. Can't wait for mine! Anyway those little flowers and the sentiment are from the Fresh Squeezed Stamp Sweet Life set. Check out the sketch below. Thanks for stopping by!

Cas(e) This Sketch #2

Last week I saw a great sketch on someone's blog but couldn't remember where it was from then luckily I stumble upon CAS(E) This Sketch once again and got pretty excited. Loving these sketches and this time I am sharing my card with the sketch and am able to link it up. Sorry for the crummy photo but I took the original in the good format and when I realized this the sun was already down. Anyway check out these fun and simple sketches. It's a bit of a challenge for me to make a card CAS but it's fast which is a benefit. The stamps are from Fresh Squeezed Stamps and paper is from my Paper Made Bakery kit.

Shopping Our Stash 72

I'm using my new kit from Paper Made Bakery for the new Shopping Our Stash challenge. At SOS they are playing crafting tic-tac-toe. I choose the bottom row: yellow, sparkle, and sentiment. The cute yellow birdie, the fence and the flower are all from the Fresh Squeezed stamp set. So excited to get the rest of my stamps from them.

Paper Made Bakery Kit for September

I love getting my Paper Made Bakery Kit each month and September was no exception. I'm going to share a few cards and a tag made with this kit.

I love Cosmo Cricket so I was thrilled to get the Twenty-Three collection to play with.

I also love Lawn Fawn and so it was great to add to my collection with the Stay Tuned set. Everything from the projects is from the kit so I can assure you when playing with the kit you'll need to add adhesive, ink, and scissors only.

ABAC Challenge 2

I'm so amazed at the response and talent for ABAC's first challenge. I know that anything goes challenges are super easy to fit a project into and might get more response than others but I'm so happy you all have found us and I hope most of you stick around for our next challenge. This week we are challenging you to use texture. This can mean fabric, paint, fiber, etc. I added most of my texture with fiber. I used the Paper Made Bakery September kit to create a cute tag set. I inked up the chipboard to better match the tag then wrapped Lawn Fawn twine around the frame. Everything but the ink was from the Paper Made Bakery kit. So have fun using texture on Anything But A Card and then link it up to share.
