Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #27

For the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #27 we were to find inspiration from a color pallet that was posted on their blog. The colors are creme, celery and a light eggplant. These colors are so beautiful together. Here is my entry using those colors. I made a little lightening bug jar with little lightening bugs flying in and around it. It makes me think of summertime, which is right around the corner!! I used my darling Simple Sallies Face Assortment on my little lightening bugs!!

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #26

Here is my entry for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 26. I created my first card (the three colorful ducks) using the sweet Ducky Dolls set. I liked it so much that I decided to run it in my column.I had so much fun with this set, I made another card (the one duck with the daises). So, the second card is my entry to the challenge. My "up-cycled" item is the corrugated circle behind the duck. That is the inside of a light bulb package, the protective part that the light bulbs are packed in. The ducks are colored in with water color paints.

Bitten by the Bug 2 Delivery Challenge

I was so happy to see this challenge because it uses a cart that I have, one of my favorites...New Arrival.

Bunny Place Cards

I made these little place cards for our Easter table. They were super simple and all 10 of them took less than 2 hours start to finish!
I used the gift bag on page 65 of Once Upon a Princess and the bunny face from Doodlecharms. I welded them together in Design Studio to create the bunny bag. (if anyone would like the DS file, please email me, I'd be happy to send it to you)
I cut the bags in a variety of spring colors then I cut a separate bunny faces in white and chalked them. I cut the name plate tag using Once Upon a Princess, the tag on page 49.
I assembled the bags using a hot glue gun. I worked great, quick with a tight bond.
I filled the little place card bags with jelly beans and bunny/duck/chick sweet tarts to weight them down. Then I added the grass.
thanks for looking! :)

Mini Tutorial using Once Upon a Princess

Here's a quick mini tutorial using the Cricut's Once Upon a Princess cartridge showing how to layer the dolls.
I used my Peachy Keen Everyday Character Stamps to create the faces on some of these dolls. You can find them here. The sweet patterned papers I used for their clothes are Bisous PDQ from their Rainbow collection and you can find it here.

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!

It Came!!

My Once Upon a Princess cartridge came today! OH MY Gosh it is the cutest cart ever!!
Here is my first creation using it!! Bazzil Cardstock, Prima Marketing Papers and Sakura Gelly Roll Pens...tfl

2 St. Pat's cards

I had fun making two little St. Patrick's Day cards today. These little leprechauns are from Cricut's Paper Doll Dress Up. The large shamrock is from A Child's Year and the pp is Prima Marketing (not sure what the small green dots patterned paper is). The little faces on the dolls are Peachy Keen Stamps Everyday Faces Assortment (my favorite).

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!
