PKS January Sneak Peeks : Day 2

The Release Week fun continues!  If you haven’t visited our first day of peeks, be sure to pop over so you don’t miss a chance to win!

Today, on the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog, our designers are sharing ideas using Diddle Diddle and Over the Moon! Kathy recreated the classic nursery rhyme in her own whimsical style. These designs would be adorable for new baby greetings, baby shower invites, decorations, or layouts for kids.

Here's my take on a card featuring the classic nursery rhyme.  I used  the cat from the Diddle Diddle stamp set!  Oh my!  This one is a MUST HAVE!!

I have had that patterned paper for so long I can't even remember the name of it, but when I found it, I was ecstatic because I knew it would be SO perfect for this stamp set!!  I stamped this fiddle playing cutie with Memento Tuxedo Black in and colored with Copic markers.  The button and ribbon are some of my Stampin' Up! treasurers.

If you’re just finding out about release week and joining us today, be sure to visit the Peachy Keen Stamps’ Blog all week long so you don’t miss a chance to win or a single set we’re peeking!

Peachy Keen Stamps January 2014 Release

Hello Peachy Friends & HAPPY 2014! Today, we’re not only celebrating a BRAND NEW YEAR but we’re celebrating the beginning of the Peachy Keen Stamps’ January Release Week!

We could not be more excited to share peeks with you starting today with our January Stamp Kit of the Month (Totally Tea-rrific) and coordinating Tea Time Floral Background! These sets are perfect for a little tea party for you or the little ladies in your life!

We’re switching things up a bit this year, and will showcase four days of sneak peeks in the morning (1st – 4th) so you can catch up over your morning tea or coffee and end the week with a big blog hop on the 5th!

If you’re just popping in, be sure to visit the Peachy Keen Stamps’ Blog so you don’t miss a single ounce of inspiration.

Here's my card using the new Stamp of the Month stamp set!

I did a lot of paper piecing with this one using the Summer Fresh Collection from Simple Stories.

I added shading to the image after it was paper pieced using my Copic markers.

The only embellishment I decided on is that pretty stitched ribbon from Stampin' Up!, but I think this fella would look really cute with some added bling for his buttons.  Hmmmm...  :-)

PKS December Release :: Day #3

Good evening and WELCOME!!

The sneak peeks for the December Release at Peachy Keen Stamps is going in full force, and I've got this adorable card to share with you for Day #3!

Isn't this little kitten all wrapped up for winter just adorable?

This sweet little kitty, along with that candy striped background stamp will be released  at Peachy Keen Stamps this Thursday!  YAY!!

Join us throughout the day on Thursday for our Release and Reveal Event on Facebook!

We'll introduce you to the new sets, and share the full reveal with you right before they go live on our website and are available for purchase.  DON'T MISS ALL THE FUN!!!

You can find our event festivities HERE...

https://www.facebook.com/events/185685001621525/

Here's my card!

I colored this sweetie with Copic markers.  The candy striped background was stamped in Versamark, and I applied Heat and Stick Powder from Stampin' Up to the Versamark.  After shaking off all the excess powder, I heated it with my embossing tool, and it proceeds to get VERY sticky.  Once the entire panel was good and sticky, I applied that pretty blue glitter, and then heat set it again.  You'd be surprised at how durable it is, because the glitter just won't come off!  I LOVE heat and stick powder!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful evening, and for even more adorable samples of this month's release, head over to the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog!  My DT sisters have rocked this one!!

Happy Stamping!!!

ALL ABOARD, because we're headed full steam ahead into the Christmas season as of TODAY!!!

The North Pole Express leads the way!!

I worked in both some marker work, and paper piecing with this card.  The patterned paper was from my scrap bin stash.

Here's a closer look at the coloring, and that wonderful, Diamond Dust that I picked up at our local Ben Franklin store a while back.  I love the thick, sugary look and texture, and it's hard to tell from the photo, but the sparkle is divine!!

Thankful Blog Hop

Good morning!!

I'm so happy you could join me this morning, and WELCOME!!   I've got this adorable little K-Cup holder that I created for this fabulous blog hop featuring SVG files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and Peachy Keen Stamps!   Our talented teams have come together to show you just what you can do with PPPR SVG files and Peachy Keen Stamps.  If you've been hopping along from the beginning, then you've seen some amazing creations, but if you're just getting started, then you'll want to go back to the beginning at The Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Blog and start from there, so you don't miss out on any of the Thankful Themed projects.

You should have arrived here from the very talented Brianna's Happer Scrapper Blog.  Didn't you LOVE her sweet Thanksgiving card?  WOW!

Here's what I created using the Pumpkin Spice Patterned Paper Pack #1 (digital download), K-Cup, and  Nuts About You cutting files from PPPR and the PKSC-22 Stamp of the Month stamp set from Peachy Keen Stamps.

From this side view you can see the beautiful chevron patterned paper that I used for the inside.  That digital paper is wonderful!!  I printed two sides of one sheet of card stock so that I had reversible paper!  How cool is that??

I love the thought of giving K-Cups as a nice hostess gift for Thanksgiving.  My Keurig brewing system is getting LOTS of use with this cold weather, and these cute little gift boxes are PERFECT for gift giving!!

I've got to tell you that cutting all these pieces with colored card stock seemed like a daunting task to me, so I did what I do with many of my die cuts.  I cut the branch, leaves and acorns using white card stock and I colored them with my Copic markers.  Voila!  much easier as far as I'm concerned and I love that I can personalize the look of the finished piece with my markers.  I added a lot of texture to the leaves using a stippling method of coloring.  FUN!!

Before you move along on this hop, please be sure to comment and hopefully if you been hopping, you've commented along the way, because both PPPR and PKS are giving away a $15 Gift Certificate to one lucky hopper!  Will it be you?  We don't know yet who will be drawing the winning name, so comment on each blog for the best chance to win.  Please be sure to leave your contact information so that we can get in touch with you to let you know you won. :-)  NOW, ON WITH THE HOP!!

Your next stop on this hop is at super talented Jeanne Siegel's Paper Crafts Blog.   Have fun and enjoy!!

Below is the complete blog hop order just in case you get lost along the way.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Fun With Flip Its!!

Hello Friends!

Long time... No blogging!  Sorry about that, but as is the case sometimes, life happens, and it seems to have been happening at warp speed around here.  We're down to the final days before our youngest son makes his way to the altar with his lovely bride, and we couldn't be happier!  Still LOTS to do, though, but I wanted to share a couple of "non wedding" projects that I've had a chance to squeeze in.  There's a whole lot of crafting, baking, and creative stuff happening, but not much card making.  ;-)

Anyway, one reason I wanted to hop on here today is that today is the day that these amazing new dies are being released at The Stamps of Life!  Have you heard about these Flip Its Dies?  Like I told a friend the other day, I don't exactly live under a rock when it comes to paper crafting goodies, BUT I somehow missed this Flip Its boat!  These things are amazing!!  You can read all about them HERE.

Here are the cards I made with these new dies.  SO easy, and fun, and I LOVE the WOW factor then lend to my cards!  I've SO got to have more of these dies!!

This first card was created with the newly released stamps at Peachy Keen Stamps.  LOVE that jar, and PKS has a beautiful new website, BTW, so if you haven't checked that out, RUN and do it now, because it's all up and running like a top now!!  20% off of all new releases, too!  SUH-WEET!!  For this card I used PK-1339 Clear Canning Pint Jar, and PK-1341 Clearly Autumn Pint Jar Accessories.

Here's a look at the opposite side.  These Flip Its fold to an A2 card size in case you were wondering. 

And, here's a close up.  You can't really tell in the photo, but there's acetate over the jar, which looks really shiny and realistic in real life.

The next grouping of photos I have to share are of the same Flip Its die set, and stamps from The Stamps of Life.  Just in case you can't tell, I sure love creating Autumn themed cards!

For this card I used the Raccoons2love Stamp Set from The Stamps of Life.  

Gotta LOVE that sentiment!!

Another angle.

And finally, a close up.

I hope you've enjoyed my creations today.  I did have a lot of fun making these, and was truly surprised at how easy they were to make using those "new to me" dies!  As mentioned above, they are now available at The Stamps of Life, and head over there and check 'em out!!  

So now, it's back to cleaning, sewing, laundry, and getting ready for the wedding festivities to begin!

Have a wonderful day, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPIN'!!!
