52CCT: 12 Days of Christmas

Hi, all!  I've got a card today for 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown for our weekly challenge, which is a SUPER fun theme!  The theme is the 12 Days of Christmas!  I cannot WAIT to see how you all interpret this!

Here's my interpretation~

Doodle Pantry: Birthday!

If it's your birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  I have a card made for anyone who's celebrating today! :)  It uses some gorgeous Doodle Pantry images and papers and is so bright and cheerful, I just know you'll like it as much as I do!

Here's the card~

Details~

Can you see the shine I added to the white portions???

I've used papers, and image, and a sentiment from the Cute Cake set. This set is SO fun and uses a few different color schemes!  AND, it's currently a set you can get FREE with purchase!  How cool is THAT?!

Thanks for stopping by today to take a peek at my creation!  I hope that you join in the fun of the monthly Doodle Pantry challenge.  Don't forget--if you use a Doodle Pantry product, you'll receive this month's featured set (the Petite Bouquet set) for FREE!  HUGS and happy digi stamping, all!

Take a PEEP!

Well, I don't normally show all the fun stuff I make to give away for holidays, but this project was SO EASY AND SO FUN (and cheap affordable) that I just had to share!  Because if you want to, you can TOTALLY knock one of these out before Sunday!  This time I did have some help--my sister is here visiting and so she came over to make these with me.  It really cuts down on the amount of time if you have a helper!  Okay, so come take a peek--or should I say PEEP?!!!

Here's the WHOLE project~

A closer look at the different colors~

And a close up of the tag~

For these fabulous challenges~

Paper Sweeties: Sweet Treats

DL.ART: Easter

Tag Along: Easter Tags

Decorate to Celebrate: Easter or Birthday

Little Red Wagon: Easter Parade

For the tags, I've used stamps by Paper Sweeties (sentiment) and Inspired By Stamping (egg), black ink by Memento, twine from my stash, and all other supplies were from Stampin' Up!  Each egg color corresponds to the color of Peep on the stick. :)

To make these, you just gotta get some Peeps ($1.10 per package--the rabbit shaped ones work best...but our store only had green chicks), some lollipop sticks (I used Wilton 6" sticks, $1.98 for a package of 35), some plastic baggies (just the fold over kind--you can grab a package of these for about $1-$2), some twine (I used some I got for $3 a roll via a discount site and barely used any), and then whatever you want to make your tags!  Put a Peep on a stick, wrap with a baggie (we cut ours down a bit), tie with twine and the tag.  That's it!  I think this whole project cost me about $8 and it only took us about 2 hours to make about 60 of them.  Not even kidding!  And there will be some happy little kids, I think! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my project!

Two Cards

Whew.  I've been having a little bit of a blogging marathon. :)  This is my third and final post for the evening and I've got two cards to share with you and then I'll be done for a bit! :)

Here's the first card~

For these fabulous challenges~

Dynamic Duos: Color Inspiration

Crafts Galore: Use Your Favorite Color

(My fave colors really are purple and yellow!)

Sparkles Forum: Favorite Color Combo

I've used Stickles by Ranger, and all other supplies I used are by Stampin' Up!.  My purple looks a lot deeper than it really is.  I had a bit of trouble photo shopping this one!  I used watercoloring onto the paper for the flowers and leaves and then fussy cut them out before adding them to the splotchy background I created. :)

Now for card two~
