{KKS} Saturday Challenge

It's the weekend! Yay! I'm busy making two custom birthday cakes for a very special little girl and boy today, but first I thought I'd share a card I made for you for this weeks Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge! Martha is our lovely hostess today and she's challenged us to use three or more dies (or punches) on our project! I've used 5 dies actually! All of my dies are MFT die-namics. I used this gorgeous stamp from the You Are Beautiful set from KKS.

Check out the KKS blog for links to all the krafty girls and guests playing along in this weeks challenge!

{SPD} Warm Wishes

Hey there! I'm up on the SugarPea Designs blog today, showing you a card I made for this week. I'm busy this week planning and baking up a few cakes for my friend Amanda's kids lumberjack themed birthday party! I made a practice cake this past weekend, shaped and decorated like a tree stump, and patterned in plaid in the centre. It turned out pretty cool and I'm glad I had a trial run to make some minor tweaks! Anyway, I made the kids a single birthday card to go with the theme! This handsome fella was perfect for the job! He's coloured in copics and I masked him and stamped some trees to complete the scene. I added some machine stitching, twine and a button and stamped the sentiment on a flag die. 

Check out the SPD Blog to see the other designers featured today!

• Stamps: Timber, Have an ICE day (sentiment)
• SugarCut Dies: Stitched Flags

{SPD} Bright Hello!

{SPD} Pineapple Paradise

Our entire April Product Release will be available for purchase starting this Friday, April 15th at 6PM EST. 

Today we are introducing Pineapple Paradise & coordinating SugarCuts die. I LOVE the sentiments in this set- the font is so gorgeous and stamps super crisp! These pineapples are really fun to work with- they come separately: the fruit and leaves..so you can use different inks. I painted distress inks on with a paintbrush and then spritzed with water just before stamping. I sponged the background and then flicked ink and water on with a paintbrush for the spatter look. 

 Would you like to win the Pineapple Paradise stamp set?  All you need to do is leave a comment on the SugarPea Designs blog telling us where you find your paradise! It's that easy!  You have all week to comment! Winners during our April Product Release will be announced on Sunday, April 24th.

Our team has some amazing creative inspiration for you using the products featured here today. You can visit each of our designers blogs below for details on their projects.  And while you're there be sure to leave a sweet comment for them, giving you an extra entry to win today's giveaway prize.

{SPD} Funky Wreath- Spring Addition

Today, We're excited to be sharing two new products that are part of our SugarPlum Collection illustrated by Chaitali Narla.

 Introducing: Funky Wreath - Spring Addition stamp and SugarCut die set.

YAY! No more fussy cutting with these amazing new dies!!

I used the gerber daisy stamp, stamping in hot pink, orange and yellow! I cut with the coordinating die, also cutting some greenery with one of the leafy dies. Using a triangle of craft CS I made a paper bouquet wrap and tied it with twine, stamping the greeting on the wee tag from the 'Key to My Heart' set. The flowers and greens were set into the paper wrap at various heights with foam dots to get some dimension. On the centres of the flowers that were visible in the bouquet, I added some brown enamel dots. 'Thanks' was cut once using our new SugarPuff Foam Sheets that were introduced yesterday, as well as white CS, then adhered together...The prefect way to pop up those sentiments and give them some strength!

Would you like to win the Funky Wreath - Spring Addition stamp set?  All you need to do is leave a comment on the SugarPea Designs blog telling us what your favorite flower is! It's that easy!  You have all week to comment! Winners during our April Product Release will be announced on Sunday, April 24th.

{SPD} April Release- DAY ONE

Today, We're excited to be sharing three new products that are part of our Sweet Chic Collection illustrated by Simonne Clay. You are gonna love this set, with so many little stampy details and the most GORGEOUS sentiments and fonts!

You can see that I used the falling rain little stitched die to cut out that cool detail.  You might notice another new die....it's a little sneak that we'll be fully showing off later on this week!! You are going to go bananas for this one!

I'm so EXCITED about this next product I'm sharing with you!! Whatever The Weather Patterned Paper Collection. 

I've used one of the patterns on my card today- the lovely grey fading raindrops!

SugarPuff foam can be used for unlimited craft projects.  Each packages contains (10) "4x6" sheets of 3mm white foam which cuts easily with scissors or any die cutting machine.  I am loving this stuff- even fine dies cut through it so easily! You'll see more of this from me in the upcoming days.

____________________________________________________

And last, but certainly not least, we are proud to introduce Little Things from Lucy's Cards.

I used a few different clear sequins as well as some little iridescent purple looking dots to look like rain coming from my clouds. These are the coolest little packets of loveliness! 

*** Please visit our store to view all of the available Sparkly Shaker Selections ***

Would you like to win the Whatever The Weather stamp set?  All you need to do is leave a comment the SugarPea Designs blog telling us how you like to spend a rainy afternoon! It's THAT easy!  You have all week to comment! Winners during our April Product Release will be announced on Sunday, April 24th.
