Die Cuttin Divas - August Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today's challenge is a SKETCH CHALLENGE.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

I do love a good sketch challenge, and, as I often do, I changed up the sketch slightly...  I turned it 90 degrees.  I wanted to be able to use the cute campfire from Miss Kate Cuttables, and it just fit better on a vertical card.

I used my Silhouette to cut out the campfire.  The adorable papers are from Doodlebug Designs, and the sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps.  This card is going to camp this week, to be given to my happy camper!

Be sure to pop over to the Die Cuttin Divas blog, to see what my fellow Divas created, and please play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you created!

MKC and PKS Co-Hop!

If you are looking for my CDD sneak peek post, please click HERE.

Happy Thursday everyone, and welcome to Miss Kate Cuttables/ Peachy Keen Stamps Co-Hop.  I am SO excited to share what I have created for today!

I decided to make 2 different projects showcasing MKC SVGs and PKS face stamps.  Here is my first project:

Isn't it adorable??  I made a shape card, by offsetting the original snow globe in Designer Edition and welding them together.  The snowglobe is from MKC Snowman Snow Globe . The mat that the sentiment is on is from MKC Tags and Backgrounds.  For the cutie face, I used PKS Happy Lashes.  The sentiment is from CDD Holly Day Punnies.  

On to project #2.  I made some cutie Hot Chocolate holders.  My son takes the bus to school, so he will be giving these to his bus drivers on the last day of school before the holidays.

Aren't they cute?  They are little sliders.  I sort of followed THIS tutorial.  The paper is from an old CTMH pack, and the card stock is CTMH and Recollections.  The ribbon is from Michaels.

I used THIS Hot Cocoa SVG file from MKC.  Of course, I used Peachy Keen Stamps for the cute little faces.  The one on the left is from PKS In the Garden and the one on the right is from PKS Princess Faces.  I used some chalk for the cheeks and then doodled with my Sakura Jelly Roll pens.  The sentiment is from CDD Simply Christmas set.  

You can get all the MKC files used for the hop!  All you have to do is comment and follow each of the designers blogs to win the MKC file(s) that the designers used on their project for each day of the week.  PKS is giving one lucky hopper a $25 gift certificate each day, and one lucky person will win a $75 gift certificate from PKS at the end of the week.

From The Desk Of...

Happy Thursday everyone!  It's my day to create a project for Miss Kate Cuttables blog.  I am SO excited to share what I have created for today!

I really like to make a personalized card set for the kids teachers as a little back to school gift.  I was inspired many moons ago by THIS card made by the talented Ruthie.  There is also a You Tube video for how to do the embossing and the sentiment.  You can find that HERE.  I love the School Time set from Miss Kate Cuttables.  I think it's SO cute, and just perfect for this card.  I think I'm going to make a box using the cute eraser.  You can find this set HERE.
