{SSSC} Witch Way is the Candy?

Hi Friends! Happy World Card Making Day! I made two cards today- one you'll have to wait til this coming week to see, and then this one, for our Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

I used this fun Halloween set from Torico (designed for MFT), Witch Way is the Candy? and the matching dies. I don't usually buy matching dies, but I splurged this time ;) I also used an older spiderweb die and just cut it down to the right size. I don't see it on the website anymore.  The little flag is from Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX. I added a tangy orange button tied with hemp cord.

Here is your sketch!

Hey there! I am your hostess for our second challenge of the day, and my Challenge is 'Falling into Fall'!

I don't know about all of you, but I love fall! I love the smell of the crisp air, the changing leaves, harvest time on the farm, Thanksgiving dinner, pulling out the knit sweaters and tall boots, Halloween, and of course ANYTHING pumpkin flavoured! This is my favourite time of year, so I thought I would base my challenge on this gorgeous season! So create a card, scrapbook layout, altered item, home decor, tag or whatever…and 'fall into fall' with me! Can't wait to see your autumn creations!

I'ved used an adorable autumn set Pick of the Patch, some older SU papers, MFT twine, a button from my stash, and I just inked and stitched. Pretty simple! I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card.

Check out the Krafty blog, because my challenge has a really GREAT PRIZE that could be yours if you play along!!! I'll be over at our FB event page if anyone wants to chat!

{SPD} Hello, Friend!

We've got a really great sketch to throw at you this week at SugarPea Designs! I've used Tin Can Chat on my card today- this was one of our first sets released and it's still one of my favourites! LOVE these sweet little girls, with their crazy hair, tooth gaps and big ears…they look so innocent!

I used stitched circle dies from MFT, enamel dots by YNS in pink, jade green and dark purple (those aren't the real names, but the pic doesn't depict the colours real great) and inked the edges of all the panels with distress ink. A fun element of this card is the 'phone cord' that joins the two girls cans. I used black twine, coating it in fabric stiffener around a toothpick, and then dried with my heat gun. You can wait for this to dry naturally, but ain't nobody got time for that! I need a different kind of twine, as this is really 'fuzzy' and I'd rather it came out nice and smooth, but oh well! It's still pretty cute!

I used a toothpick and copic white paint to add the highlights to their cheeks. The clothes were paper-pieced. I stamped the sentiment in versa fine ink.

The rules are very simple…

  Create a new card or project using the SugarSketch provided.

• SugarPea Design 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

{SSSC/MFT} Batty for You

It's been a bit since I made a card with all My Favorite Things supplies and I just had a new order come AND since I am a lover of all things Halloween, I thought I'd pop off a spooky lil card :)

I used Batty About You (which happens to be on SALE right now- all Halloween MFT stuff is a great price right now! DOH! I shoulda waited hehe!) along with the Stitched Circle STAX and a stitched banner from the Blueprints 1 set. The button is Steel Grey and it's tied with Hemp Cord. The little flag under the button is from Jumbo Fishtail Flags STAX. I coloured the adorable little character with copics, fussy cut her out and mounted on foam squares onto the DP circle. 

It's also time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!

Here is your sketch for this week:

{RC} You... are my happy

I thought I'd play along in the Reverse Confetti colour challenge, which let me tell you, was NOT easy, LOL!!! Yellow and pink are probably my least favourite colours to work with, hehe! So this was indeed a challenge for me. I almost didn't even post this card, but some crafty friends told me to just take the plunge and enter it!

I've used Chevron Pretty Panels, subbing in some patterned paper where the white cut outs were. The easiest way to do this, I find, is to adhere double sided tape to the back of the panel (once you pop out the chevrons) and then flip if over and lay in the patterned strips. I backed the Pretty Panel die with the scalloped rectangle from  Love Note, and added hearts from that die set. I added 'you' in gold paper from the confetti cuts Tag Me, Too. 

The inside uses a stamp from All About You, stamped in grey ink….

{SPD} Pick of the Patch

I've used the accessory stamps from the set Bountiful Blessings, masking the front pumpkin, then stamping the bundle of straw/pumpkin image. This is the PERFECT Fall set!! I coloured with copics and pastels. I curved the sentiment on my block and stamped above the images. The dies are MFT and I used an old Mojo MOnday sketch.

I used Perfect Paper Crafting tools to create those perfect 1/16" mat edges! The Perfect Layers Mini along with Perfect Cutting Mat are the perfect combo for card makers! Use the code Jenny5% to receive 5% off at checkout!
