Peachy Keen Sneak Peek: My Battery Needs Charging!

Hello everyone! I am showing a sneak peek of the NEW Peachy Keen Stamp Of The Month kit coming out on Feb. 5th. This is such a FUN set, you all are going to LOVE it! Especially if you like robots....I can't say anymore! LOL!

I paper pieced that adorable little bot girl and gave her a twine bow. I also added some Glossy Accents to the light on her head. The sun was also paper pieced and I tucked him behind a cloud. This is pattern paper, so what I did was use my x-acto knife to cut around part of the cloud so I could slip the sun in. 

I stamped and cut out the sentiment tabs and tucked them under the main mat. 

To finish I used my sewing machine to do a zig zag line down the side. 

Head over to the Peachy Keen Blog to see more of these super cute sneak peeks all week long! And come join in the fun on Tuesday at 6 pm at the Peachy Keen Connection for the full release party! You won't be disappointed.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping in!

Always And Forever

Hello everyone! I have a fun card to share today that I used My Craft Spot's Lacy Banner Dies on. This is a really simple card and it is made from all left over scraps from my Valentine projects.
 I used the Lacy Banner Dies and cut out a whole bunch of leftover scrap pieces. Then I put them together and decided which ones worked the best and attached them to a heart border strip I cut from Ribbons and Rosettes using my Cricut. I also added a piece of trim decorative paper over the top and Glossy Accents to the heart border.

To finish I stamped the sentiments from the Always and Forever stamp set and added some Glossy Accents to the heart. 

So, KEEP those scrap pieces and you can create a beautiful card just like this. And, it could easily be converted to any other occasion you might have.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my card and thanks for stopping in!

Have a great day!

You're Snow Wonderful

Hello everyone! I wanted to share this card I made with you. I had a "snow day" and decided to play with my Imagine! It is SO poorly neglected, but at least I have fun when I do get to play with it!

I have seen my great friend Cindy at Cindy's Scraptastic Designs use this background for projects and always thought it was so cool, so I decided to try one myself.

I printed the background at 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 using my Imagine and Snow Angel. I trimmed it down to the size of my card and added some punched snowflakes and pearl dots for the snow. The deer was cut from Campin Critters at 3 inches and I stamped the eyes with Peachy Keen's Cornies face stamps. I made the sentiment doily using My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies Dies and stamped the sentiment with MCS's Think Snow stamp set. 

I hope you all like my card and please come back on Saturday when I will have a SNEAK PEEK of the NEW Peachy Keen stamps being released this Tuesday! The sneak peeks will start on Friday and you can see them at the Peachy Keen blog. Have a great day!

I am going to enter this into the Whimsical Wednesday Winter Wonderland Challenge. 

YUM

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot! This week the challenge is "Wish Big" Create a birthday project.

I made this fun card to share with you! My Glossy Accents got a good work out on this one! LOL!

I cut the cupcake from Straight From The Nest and add glitter to the cherry and frosting. I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen stamp and added Glossy Accents to the eye, tongue and dotted the chocolate layer. 

The banner was made using My Craft Spot's Lacy Banners and Chunky Alphabet stamp set. I wove some twine through the pieces and added bows to the end. 

To finish I stamped the sentiment from My Craft Spot's Inside and Out Set #2 and glossy accent dots to the entire card. 

I hope you will all play along and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has created! 

Have a great day!

A close up of all the glitter!

 

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! I have a fun card to share with you today that I made using My Craft Spot's Build A Valentine stamp set on. I did go a little glitter crazy on this card, but I think it turned out cute!

The card I created by cutting the bee hive from Create A Critter and mounted it to a card base. I then used my scissors to trim around it to get this card shape. I added a glittered heart to the top and stickle highlights over the entire hive. 

The bear was cut from Teddy Bear Parade and I stamped the face with Peachy Keen's NEW Teddy Bear Faces. I also added some hearts to the antenna that I glittered. 

To finish I added some gems and stamped the sentiment banner using My Craft Spot's Build A Valentine stamp set. 

The challenge at My Craft Spot this week is "Bling It Up"  Use glitter/bling on your project. You have until Monday to link up and the prize is the very stamp set I used on this card! 

I hope you all enjoyed seeing my card and thanks for looking! Have a great weekend.

Up A Tree

HOW CUTE ARE THESE BEARS?

Hello everyone! I wanted to share this adorable card that I made using Peachy Keen's NEW Teddy Bear Faces and the January 2013 SOTM kit. I just LOVE how this card turned out and my SIL is going to freak out when I give this to her! She has a thing for bears. LOL!

To create the tree background this is what I did:
 I started with a 4 1/4 X 8 1/2 inch piece of Kraft cardstock.  I marked out where I wanted the holes for my bears to be and using the CENTERPOINT feature on my Cricut, I cut out 1 3/4 inch circles. After the holes were cut I embossed the piece with the Tim Holtz Woodgrain folder. You will have to do it on each end and it will not match up exactly. So what I did was I took my stylus and my mouse pad and embossed so that the lines would match up. After it was embossed, I inked over all the raised edges with some distress ink. BE CAREFUL with it. The embossing is really deep and it will tear VERY easy! After the tree part is all done is when I trimmed it to fit my card. The reason I did this is because of the embossing, sometimes it shrinks to much.
I stamped the tag, which is from the $1 bin at Micheals, and added it to twine around the card. Then I mounted it to a folded in half 8 1/2 X 8 1/2 inch piece of dark brown cardstock. 

I stamped the bears and colored them with Copic markers and cut them out. I placed them in the holes and pop dotted their paws. 

The tree branches were cut from Create A Critter (from the dinosaur cut). I cut 5 of them and used a Copic marker to highlight them. I arranged them around the top and the top corner one I mounted on pop dots. 

I hope you all liked my card and thanks for looking! Have a great day!
