Peachy Keen July Release Day 2

Hello everyone and welcome to Day 2 of sneak peeks for Peachy Keen's July Release! Today we are sharing projects made with the following stamp sets......

PK-1405 Singing Elves, PK-1406 Musical Tree, PK-1407 Christmas Trees and Foliage, PK-1408 Musical Elves, PK-1409 Bell Ringer Elves

Be sure to head on over to the Peachy Keen Blog to check out all the projects made today and to see what you could win!

For my project today, I made these cute little gift bags. These elves are so stinkin cute!

I made these cute little gift bags using 2 of the new elf sets PK-1408 Musical Elves and PK-1409 Bell Ringer Elves.
I colored each one and cut them out. I glued them directly to the bag along with the sentiments which were cut out using the Jaded Blossom Curly Label Die. I did a black stitching line around each label and also glued them directly onto the bags.
For the top closure, I punched 2 holes and thread some twine through tying it in a bow. I also added some bell brads by threading them through the holes and closing them in the back. 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day! I'll see you back here tomorrow for the full release and Blog Hop!
Make sure to head over to the PK Blog to see what prizes can be won today and to see all the wonderful projects made with these stamp sets!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Hello everyone and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! Today I am sharing a project that I did with the new Virginia Squaredy Cat. She's so patriotic looking that I just had to do a 4th of July project.

This was a fun project to create. This is the SAFE alternative to sparklers. I have always been very leery of sparklers and so I made up this little gift pack with glow sticks for my 2 1/2 year old nephew. 

I created the topper by cutting the mat from the Jaded Blossom Card Mat Dies and mounted it to a piece of cardstock that I folded in half. I put 3 Glo Sticks into a 1X8 Inch Clear Bag and glued to the topper on.

I cut the Virginia Squaredy Cat and mounted it on pop dots. The sentiment banner is cut with the Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies and the sentiment is stamped from the Peachy Keen USA stamp set. This was a free stamp set from last year's Peachy Keen 4th of July Sale. 

I hope you all liked my project and thanks for visiting!

Have a FUN and SAFE 

4th Of July!

 Day 1 HERE

Day 2 HERE

  Candy Caddy is a 2 piece die. It is for sale for $49.99 and NOW available!

  Isn't this die amazing?? There are SO many different things you can do with it!

 Here is what I created for the hop...

I created this fun double pocket style candy bag. I will include a tutorial for you to be able to replicate it with your new Candy Caddy Die. 

For my project I cut the Chibi Tiger from SVG Cutting Files and stamped the sentiment using the Jaded Blossom Go Wild stamp set.


TUTORIAL
 This is a pic of the cuts you need from the die. 

1-outer wrapper

4- total of bottom box pieces trimmed as instructed below.

You will also need to score the center of the outer wrapper die. Make sure to work this score line really well so it moves easily. 

You are going to cut off the top tabs on 2 of the bottom box pieces and the top and bottom tabs of the other 2. (See picture 1 for example)

 Then you are going to assemble bottom box on the 3 sides left and glue together. The second strip is going to get glue on the outside of the tabs and then glued to open side of box to create pocket. Placing tabs to inside of 3 sided box. This will leave you with a pocket with open top.

Next you will glue the pockets in, lining them up with the second dotted score line. Make sure to glue the side with just the outer tabs to the wrapper. This way when you glue down the bottom, your pocket will be nice and secure with no gaps. Glue in the second side by repeating the same as first. Now glue down the bottoms of the box to center of wrapper. I added glue to the wrapper and then folded it up so the bottom will line up perfectly.
Now you have a pocket box! Decorate to your liking!
Here is another set of pictures of my completed project.

I added some Laffy Taffy to the inside of the pockets!

Candy Caddy Die Release Day 2- We Go Together Like Milk and Cookies

PEACHY KEEN FACE DAY PROJECT JUST BELOW

Hello! Jaded Blossom is having a special die release for July! We are calling it the Candy Caddy Die Release! The Candy Caddy will be available for sale starting July 1st, 12:00 am (limited quantities available). Our design team member Trixie came up with this idea! 

  Candy Caddy is a 2 piece die. It is for sale for $49.99 

Here is what I created with it...

For my project today, I created a half caddy using the Candy Caddy Die. 

I cut out the outer wrap in white and red check paper. I cut off one side to the second score line on each piece and glued them together. I cut out the box and then glued the wrapper back piece to the back of the box. 

I added strips of red check paper around edges of the box. The bottom sentiment banner was cut with the Flag Dies 2 and the top sentiment banner was cut with the Mini Tag Dies. Both sentiments were stamped with the We Go Together Like stamp set. 

I cut the milk cartons from the SVG Cutting File Cow Milk Carton Box and added red paper around the middles. I stamped the milk containers from the Kawaii Candies stamp set and the Milk sentiment from the We Go Together Like stamp sets.
To finish, I added some cookies to a Gusset Bag and tied it shut with some twine.


Thanks so much for checking out my project today!

Peachy Keen Face Day- Puppy Treat Box

Hello everyone! It's my day to share a "Face Project" at Peachy Keen Stamps!

Here is what I came up with today using the SUPER CUTE Happy Go Lucky Dog Face Assortment....

I made this box for my dog who just celebrated his 19TH BIRTHDAY!

The box is cut from the SVG Cutting Files Simple Treat Box file and the dog from the Floppy Ear Dog With Letter file. 

I hid the cut face in my Designers Edition program and cut it out. After it was cut out, I glued the eye patch onto the head and then stamped the Happy Go Lucky Dog face right over the whole thing. I chalked the cheeks, added the white highlights with a white gel pen, and used a Copic marker to color in the eyelids. 

I added decorative panels to the box with matted designer paper and a ribbon at the top. The sentiment is stamped from the Sunny Side Up sentiments.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my project today and thanks for visiting!
Have a great day!

Candy Caddy Die Release Day 1- See Ya Later Alligator

Hello! Jaded Blossom is having a special die release for July! We are calling it the Candy Caddy Die Release! The Candy Caddy will be available for sale starting July 1st, 12:00 am (limited quantities available). Our design team member Trixie came up with this idea! 

  Candy Caddy is a 2 piece die. It is for sale for $49.99 

Here is what I created with it...

This turned out so cute! I just LOVE this new die! AND it is HUGE people! Takes up the whole length of my Cuttlebug plate!

I cut the outside wrap in a green DP and the bottom box piece in a blue to simulate the water. I also added strips of blue to the bottom of the wrap. 

The Alligator is a NEW file from SVG Cutting Files and I stamped the eyes with Peachy Keen Erkle and Merkle face stamps. The sentiment tag was cut using the Flag Dies 2 and stamped with a sentiment from the Go Wild stamp set. 

I also finished the candies on the inside with wrapper cut using the Candy Wrap Dies and added the eyes to the first one from the heart candy in the Sprinkled With Love stamp set. The end one I cut into a triangle shape to make it look like an alligator in the water. 

Thanks so much for checking out my project today!
