Fall Mash Up Blog Hop featuring Peachy Keen Stamps and SVG Attic

Good morning Hoppers!! Are you just joining us? If so, WELCOME to the Fall Mash Up Blog Hop featuring Peachy Keen Stamps and SVG Attic. If you’ve just arrived here from JESSICA’S blog then you’re hopping on the right on track! Not sure where to start? Head on over to Peachy Keen Stamps’ Blog and catch up on anyone you’ve missed there!

We are showcasing how perfectly Peachy Keen’s whimsical faces and SVG Attic’s adorable SVG cuts pair together.

I used the sweet witch out of the “Spooky Friends” collection over at SVG Attic. I LOVE the variety of costumes in here! Then, I used the pumpkin pile from the “Pumpkin Patch” collection. The limited amount of pieces per shape made this SUPER SUPER simple! I used some Glitz cardstock (glitter cardstock that doesn’t flake!! honest!) in the lime green and black colors to bling up my witchy. For the body and the rest of the cuts, I just used some heavy solid colors that I had in my stash.

For the witch’s face, I used one of Peachy Keen’s newer face collections – “In Stitches”. Isn’t she adorable (if I do say so myself)?  For the pumpkins, I used the “Jack-o-Lantern” faces (one of my fave collections, by the way), and stamped a sentiment from our new “Sweet Spooks” set from Market Street Stamps.

To create shading, I used both “Wild Honey” and “Black Soot” Distress Inks and a foam applicator. I used a white gel pen to highlight areas throughout the card, as well as some faux stitching on the sentiment panel.

Sizzix Fresh Vintage Blog Hop

Hi Everyone and welcome to The Sizzix Fresh Vintage by Eileen Hull Blog Hop! I am SUPER excited to show you an easy project using the 3D Fringed Flower Die and my go-to neutral twine, Cappuccino from The Twinery!!

First, I want to say how excited I am to be a part of this HUGE hop with so many talented people! Can you believe there are 60 designers participating?! I know, it seems like a lot, but it’s all broken down quite nicely. Here’s how it’s set up:

  • Each week, for 6 weeks, there will be new projects featured in the hop. You don’t need to worry about finding a long link list or a specific post, because that fun little button on my right side bar? It will automatically take you to the most recent projects. 
  • Did you miss a day or miss a week? Don’t worry, just visit the “FAQ” section at the bottom of this post for more info!
So, ready to see what I created? Let’s go!

—————————————-

Using some chocolate brown and turquoise felt, I ran my die through in my Big Shot Pro.

Super easy, clean cuts.

To create my card, I simply used Fabri-Tac – that’s right – NO sewing -

to glue my flower elements together.

I whipped some twine through a cream button and adhered it with more Fabri-Tac.

I’m surprised I still have all my brain cells after all that glue sniffing!

I polished it up a bit with some shiny silver iRock gems and threaded some Cappuccino twine for a border.

If you are looking for just one neutral twine color, I highly recommend this color from the Twinery.

It seriously matches ANYTHING I can’t match with another color! The sentiment is one of my sentiment designs that was included in the “Chillaxin” set from Market Street Stamps!

Oh wait…what’s this I see? A hidden gem! It’s a pin!

How fun would it be to receive a card that doubles as the gift?

I’m not talking gift cards, folks, this is a brooch you can wear right after you receive the card.

Simply use a bit of hot glue to adhere your pin back to your felt flower and attach

through the front of your card.

I really want to whip up a dozen more of these for an inexpensive little holiday gift.

I think my jean jacket I use in the Fall will appreciate this little accessory very much. ;)

Here’s everything ELSE you need to know about this awesome, awesome hop and the SUPER talented designers who will also be showcasing their projects:

FAQ about the Fresh Vintage Blog Hop:

How do I hop around to see ideas using the current featured die?

Every Tuesday and Thursday between September 27-November 3, 2011 there will be a
new Sizzix Fresh Vintage die featured on 6-10 participating designers’ blogs.
The navigation buttons for “Hop Back” and “Hop Forward” will allow you to easily
hop around and see projects featuring whatever the current die is, since those
buttons are programmed to navigate only to the blogs that are participating for
that die. On the next Tuesday/Thursday, the buttons will automatically reprogram
themselves to navigate to the blogs that are signed up for the next featured
die.

What if I start at a designer’s blog that isn’t one of the 6-10 signed up for
that die?

No problem! Simply hit either the “Hop Forward” or “Hop Back” button on the
Fresh Vintage navigation widget from any blog’s sidebar and you’ll automatically
advance to one of the participating blogs.

Can I go back and view the ideas for a previously featured die?

Of course! Go to Eileen Hull’s blog and find the Fresh Vintage Permalinks button
on her “Blog Hops” page. It will bring up her blog posts where you’ll find
direct links to each participating blog along with a thumbnail image of the
project.

Where can I buy the Sizzix Fresh Vintage dies, by Eileen Hull?

You can visit Sizzix.com to find a local and online retailers for Sizzix
products. Also be sure to visit Oh My Crafts, (http://ohmycrafts.blogspot.com/)
one of this blog hop’s sponsors, (between the dates of September 27-November 12,
2011) and enter for a chance to win a Flower Layers #9 die!

The Blog Hop has ended and the navigation widget is no longer in the sidebar.
How can I see the ideas?

Go to Eileen Hull’s blog and find the “Blog Hops” page. It will bring up her
blog posts where you’ll find direct links to each participating blog along with
a thumbnail image of the project.

Thursday, Sept 22nd ~ FULL HOP LIST Day 2

Peachy Keen Stamps/Quick Quotes Blog Hop

Hello & Happy Friday to you all!! If you’ve just come over from the Peachy Keen Stamps blog, then you’ve made it to the first stop on the hop for Day 1! YAY! We are SO thrilled to have you hoppin’ along with us. This is going to be a fabulous 2 day hop that features designs from the Peachy Keen and Quick Quotes Design Teams.

To showcase the beautiful papers from Quick Quotes, I decided to make two cards using very different color schemes, but the same stamp. Fun, right?

For this first card, I used the very vintagey, elegant  French Quarter line. I thought it looked gorgeous done very simple. I used a Martha Stewart border/corner punch (eyelet) to frame the second layer. I colored “Lauri” from “Lauri Loves Skip Faceless Elves” in a range of yellow-green and deep red Copics. I just love these traditional colors for Christmas.

For my next card, using the same sweet Lauri elf, I used the Live Out Loud line by Quick Quotes. This is probably one of my favorite collections ever! The  matching dimensional accents available made this card easy peasy to create! I usually sit and search for the perfect embellishments, but I have to tell you, I put this card together in about 10 minutes (not including the coloring, of course..hehe). Of course, as much as I love Christmas in traditional colors, this happy-go-lucky elf looks fresh and modern in these very non-traditional colors of Orange, Turquoise and Green. All of the dimensional accents are from the Live Out Loud line as well.

So I’m dying to know – which one do you like best? Do you like the vintage look or the more whimsical fun look? Leave me a comment letting me know and you’ll be entered to win one of the TWO big prizes being given away by QQ and PKS! Check out the goodies we’re giving away:

Peachy Keen Stamps PRIZE:

Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment

Faceless Fruit Stamp Set

Quick Quotes PRIZE:

Family Canvas Kit (All inclusive)

Glitter Chipboard (2 sets – I used the “Live Out Loud” set for my whimsy card!!)

PVC Frosted Embellishments (flowers – I used these on my whimsy card, too!!)

So much to see, I better send you off on your way to Quick Quotes’ Social Media Coordinator, Lisa! Go on and see what fabulousness she has for you! Enjoy the hop, good luck, and thanks so much for stopping by!!
