This week we have a brand new sketch from SugarPea Designs!

OMG. Might I remind myself, yet again, my dislike for heat embossing. But it does add a nice touch, so here we are! LOL. I did heat emboss the cell phone, glasses, lips and pipe. All of those stamps are from the new set Hashtag Hipster. I added in some die cuts from the Gift Tag SugarCuts. I added some little gems to the cat eye glasses and on the phone button.

The rules are very simple…

• Create a new card or project using the SugarSketch provided.  SugarPea Designs stamps are NOT required to play along or to win but would be appreciated 
• You may rotate/flip the sketch & replace shapes – so long as the original sketch layout is recognizable.
• Upload to your blog or other Online Gallery using Keyword: SPDSS25 so that we may check out your beautiful work.
• Add your name and link to your project in the InLinkz shown on the BLOG.
• One randomly selected winner will receive a $10 Gift Certificate to the SugarPea Designs Online Shoppe. However, if the winning entry features a SugarPea Designs stamp we will increase the prize to $15

Time for a new sketch this week from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! You can check out that sketch by clicking on the link!

I've used one of my Avery Elle sentiment stamp sets, So Happy. I love AE's fonts...I think they are so elegant...like old school calligraphy. I paired it with some vintage looking paper from Chickaniddy. I added some enamel dots and shapes. The sentiment strip is popped up on foam squares and the die is MFT. This  card was so simple to make and even though it's far from my usual style, it was really fun to make! Relying on a gorgeous sentiment and perfect paper to create a card was a nice change!! ;)

I used one of the stamps from the set Rainy Day Fun. The pad is available at KKS as well and its called Sunny Days Ahead by EP. I added glossy accents and pieced her lil boots. the chevron ribbon is from my stash.

{SPD} Shake it Off!

I used Hot Diggity Dog, and mounted the pooch onto a wobbler. You can see that pic below. So when you give him a poke, he starts to shake!! (the bottom picture shows him 'shaking it off' LOL). I also used the banner from the SugarCuts Gift Tag.

{SPD} SMILE!

I used SugarCuts- Polaroid Journal 
Card for my card today and NO 
stamping!! Can you believe it?!?!
But that is just how awesome this 
die is! It can be a companion die
for a few of our sets , or it can be used as a stand out die all by itself and still make a bigstatement! I used some silver cross-hatched CS for the camera details, as well as the 'smile' word die. I think this card is really bright and fun and just puts me in the mood for summer to come!!

{SPD} Sweet2Repeat hop- April

Hey Crafty friends! Today the SugarPeas are revisiting some of the stamp sets from our last release in our Sweet2Repeat blog hop!

I chose to use this sweet little scooter and one of the sentiments from the set Wanderlust. I stamped the scooter, then masked it and inked with a sponge, distress inks and a stencil. I then removed the mask and coloured the scooter with Copic markers. I added the sentiment, below, and also used an accent stamp (the little arrows), and stamped them in the same red distress ink that I sponged over the yellow DI. I added some enamel dots that coordinated with the DP I chose. The LO is from this weeks Deconstructed Sketch.

{SSSC} some bunny loves you!

Happy Easter! I made this sweet card using a sweet stamp set from Mama Elephant called Honey Bunny and coordinating dies. I am loving my new Mama Elephant stamps!! 

I used this weeks SSSC  for my layout. I made this card for my three little bunnies. I coloured each bunny up a little bit differently to represent my boys :) I wanted some really boyish paper, so I didn't use pastel-y Easter paper at all. I really like the way this one turned out!! The grassy hill was made with an MFT circle stitched die and used MFT twine and button.

Here is the sketch:
