Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #25

For this PKS Challenge #25, I made a birthday card for my niece. She's turning 3 (I can't believe it!).
I used my new Once Upon a Princess cartridge. There are some super cute cupcakes on it. I also used my Peachy Keen Christmas Character Face Assortment. I used one of the elf faces, but it was perfect b/c the little nose looks like a sprinkle!!
The pp's are gorgeous Bisous from their Hot collection!

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #24

Here's my card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #24. This challenge was a sketch challenge and also you need to use a PK stamp somewhere on the card.

I cut this little Easter basket and eggs with my Cricut using Doodlecharms. I stamped the eggs with my Peachy Keen Stamps Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment using the 3/8 inch stamp. I cut the eggs at 1 inch set on real size. I decorated the Easter Eggs using Sakura Glaze 3D Glossy Ink pens. Love these!! I painted the Easter basket using Sakura Koi Watercolors and Waterbrush. These paints are really lovely!

The patterned paper was from Flair Designs Easter Surprise Collection.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #23

Here's my card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #23! I really wanted to use my Penguin Doll Set and I thought how cute would he look holding a little green shamrock. This shamrock cut is from A Child's Year Cricut cartridge. It had a longer stem than the shamrock I used on my last card, that shamrock was from Paper Doll Dress Up. The background paper I used is Prima (I can't remember what company made the green with tiny circles patterned paper) and the green paint is a Ranger Ink dabber in Citrus.
tfl!

2 quick cards

Here are two cards that I made using my A Child's Year and Design Studio. Both cards, together, took about 1/2 hour to make, start to finish. I used the rectangle from George and Basic Shapes to create a connecting piece between the two welded shapes. I did this for both cards, as you can see below.

Cricut Cartridge Review Series #2 New Arrival

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #22

It's Leprechaun time!! Cricut's Paper Doll Dress Up has the cutest leprechaun with a shamrock cut! I had to use it for this card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #22. I found this little scrap of leprechaun pp by Provo Craft. I've had it for years and it sparked my interest to make this card. Then I knew the little "winking" face from PK Everyday Face Stamps would be perfect!!

Card Patterns Sketch #47

I book marked this cool card challenge blog last month. I thought I'd give their latest challenge a go. So here it is Card Patterns Sketch #47.
The pp's are Sassafrass Lass. I cut the tree with my cricut using zooballoo four times and layered it to give some dimension. The owls are from the coordinating set from Sassafrass.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #19

Time for my favorite blog challenge!! The last Peachy Keen challenge of 2009.

My parents wedding anniversary was Saturday. They are coming for New Years tomorrow, I wanted to make them a special card. I love the sketch for challenge 19 and this was the idea I came up with.

I cut the snowflakes on my cricut in black out. They are from Joys of the Season. I stamped the snowflakes using Peachy Keen Large Snowflakes and Snow Faces (PK-232) on the blue bottom layer of the back snowflakes. Then on the white top layer I stamped the sweet penguins from Peachy Keen Penguin Doll Set (PK-318).

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #18

I used the Oh So Adorable Peachy Keen Stamps Gingerbread Doll Set to create this card for the newest PKS Challenge #18. These stamps are hands down my favorite stamp set ever!! LOVE them!! The gumdrop pp's are from a super old Hot Off the Press paper tablet that I've had for about 5 years. Lots of stickels and sleigh cut from Cricut Christmas Cheer!!

btw...go check out the challenge!! Kathy and the DT crew are the greatest!!

a little Elf card

I used my Peachy Keen Christmas Character face stamps to make some elves, Santa and Mrs. Claus for a layout that will run in my column on December 13th. I made one too many elves so... I made the extra elf into a card. I used my Peachy Keen Large Snowflakes and Snow Faces stamps. I stamped the solid snowflake in pale blue and then the snowflake outline in silver. It made such a lovely background. The background patterned paper (with the reindeer) and the paper on the elf is K&Co. Swell Noel. I just love the nontraditional color scheme!!

a Christmas Church Card

I made this Christmas Church card for my favorite Priest, Fr. O'Brien of St. John's Church in Liverpool!! He is a sweet, kind soul!
I used my Cricut Christmas Solutions cart and Design Studio to cut the church. I used the "packing tape" method to put the glitter in the windows.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #17

OMGosh, Kathy and Peachy Keen Stamps is giving away the most amazing two sets of stamps EVER!!! WoW, they are so adorable!! {{good luck to me}} ha ha!!

So, here is my entry for this challenge!

My Aunt Janet is having a birthday on Monday and she is a doll collector. I used the Victorian doll on Christmas Solutions (Cricut cartridge). The papers are from a Making Memories {note}worthy project pad, Tara.

The stamp I used on the doll is from the Peachy Keen Christmas Character Assortment pack. It's the angel face, so versatile! It also could be used for a princess or a bride.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #16 (x2)

I had so much fun making a card for the PKSC #16 yesterday and I got this neat idea for another card. So, today I made card number 2 and here it is. I cut the Christmas lights from the Cricut Christmas Cheer cartridge. The stamps are of course Peachy Keen Every Day faces. The white pen is Sakura's Souffle, one of my favorite pens!!

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #16

I couldn't wait for the new PKSC and as soon as it was posted, I got busy!! So here is my entry for Challenge #16!
I'm using my new 8x8 Recollections Autumn card stock paper pack again. I just love the patterns and the thickness of the paper. I also used my Peachy Keen Stamps Funshine Faces 1 1/8". I cut all the pieces of this card with my Cricut using Doodlecharms, Storybook and PDDU. So Fun!!

BBTB Storybook Bird Challenge

I love these new challenges over at BBTB!! Here's mine for this week. It was fun and I got to use my new Recollections 8x8 paper pack and my Distress Stickles (antique linen)!! In addition to the Cricut Storybook bird, I used the pumpkins from Doodlecharms. I stretched them in DS. I hand wrote the greeting!!

Peachy Keen Stamps Halloween Challenge
