MCT 40th New Release Sneak Day 1

Good Morning and welcome to Day 1 of sneaks for the new

My Creative Time 40th Release!

Miss Emma has another AMAZING new release and the DT can not wait to share all of our projects with you! We all know you are going to LOVE everything in this release.

So sit back and get ready for a GREAT week of inspiration followed by our blog hop on Friday when we will show you all the entire new release and it will be available for purchase!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

To a Cute Little Chickie 

as well as this releases freebie stamp set~

Wishing You

This is the card I made using the new ADORABLE set! I am beyond excited about this so cute chickie set... 'cause I just LOVE my chickies!!!!

To make my card I used the adorable new chickie die and some wool felt. I didn't stamp on her because I wanted her to be a cute silhouette and have the added texture from the felt bring out her details. She was then added onto a "nest" of silver thread and placed onto an oval die cut. Using the sentiment from the same set, I stamped it onto the vintage label banner die and then embellished my card using 2 hearts, also from this new release set. Some glossy accents on the hearts and popping them up with some foam dots and my card was complete.

Next for the....

Freebie Stamp Set!

For our "Freebie" stamp for this release, we are giving away this ADORABLE stamp "Wishing You" to the FIRST 150 shoppers! YEP, you heard that right, this stamp will go to the FIRST 150 shoppers for FREE! You do NOT have to add it in your cart, Emma & her shipping crew will automatically include it in your pkg, ONLY to the first 150 shoppers! IF you happen to come through AFTER the 150th shopper, no worries because this stamp will be available for sale! 

Emma, knows there will be questions on whether YOU made the first 150? 

AFTER the 150 shoppers come through, then you will see this set available for PURCHASE along w/the new release items! 

Here is the tag I made using this awesome freebie stamp!

I tried something different for my tag this time. I added a layer of vellum onto the top of the tag and then heat embossed some hearts from the new To a Cute Little 

Chickie set. The vellum softens the look of the sentiment but adds a fun added layer to it as well. Don't you think?

What's Kickin' Chicken?......{PKS Sketch Challenge 14-05}{Post #1}

Morning  everyone! Can you believe it is April already?

OMG I can not get over how FAST the months are flying by!!

Which brings us to another Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch challenge! 

Remember these challenges run for about 2 weeks so there is plenty of time to play along with us!!

Here is the new sketch...

And here is my take on it!

I just can not get enough of the chicken's from last months release! Kathy really knows how to WOW us all with her adorable stamps! So again I used the Faceless Chickens and the Chickie Faces for this cutie. I added my own touches but running my mats through my sewing machine. I always think it adds more to my card. I also used the new Chicken Wire background stamp and stamped it on top of my designer paper using matching ink from Tim Holtz.
Turned out pretty cute if I say so myself :)

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Kraft, White, MME~Sunshine

Stamps~ Peachy Keen Stamps 

PK~1374 Chickie Faces 1 1/8

PK~1375 Faceless Chickens

PK~1376 Chicken Wire A2 Background

Dies~ My Creative Time

Just Simply Live

Embellishments~ copic markers, white gel pen, pop dots, sewing machine

I hope you have enjoyed my card and take on the sketch. I would LOVE to see you play along with the new challenge!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!

Laid Any Good Eggs Lately???.....{PKS March New Release Sneak Day 4}

Hey Chickies!!!!

We've made it to our fourth and final day of sneak peeks this month and we hope that you've enjoyed the creations our talented team members have brought to you.  We are SO excited to share the entire release with you that we can hardly wait for reveal time tomorrow!!  We’ll be back here with a SUPER inspirational blog hop and the new stamps will be revealed on our blog and available for purchase in the Peachy Keen Stamps Store.  The new stamps will go live at 6 p.m. CST.. Same time as our blog hop.

Our first release for this month is a little smaller than usual, but don’t worry, because Kathy’s planning a mid-month release, so be looking for MORE new stamps a little later in the month.  Tonight, we’re having an Anything Goes night, which means our team  can choose ANY of the stamps from this release they’d like to share.  Be sure to check the PKS Blog for ALL the great samples from tonight’s team.

For my sneak tonight, I just had to use the Faceless Chickens and Chickie Faces again... I just LOVE them!!!!!
Here is the shaker card I made :)

So adorable right???? 

I used the sketch from the current Fusion Card Challenge

and designer paper from Carta Bella~Giddy Up. For the shaker part of my card, I used the XL Label Die from My Creative Time and stamped the background using the Spring Chicken Background stamp set. I filled the shaker with some silver sequins and a few die cut eggs from the new Hello Chickie! Stamp set

This adorable chickie was then colored using my copics and I did add a bit of the white gel pen for some extra pop. She was then popped up onto my card with some foam pop dots.

Finally the sentiment, which is also from the Faceless Chickens stamp set, was inked and stamped using my Versafine Onxy Black ink.

I am just in LOVE with this card and sure hope you like it too!!!

This winds it up for sneak peeks… everything EXCEPT a prize for tonight, that is!!  
Leave a comment on the PKS Blog, and on each designer’s blog for a chance to win the new Chickie Faces Face Assortment stamp set!!  We’ll select 1 random winner from all the comments to win and that winner will be announced in the PKS Blog Hop post tomorrow!!  Good luck and thanks for stopping by!!

Just Chicken In... {The Kraft Journal}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

It is time for a new challenge over at The Kraft Journal!

This week we want to see all your 

Clean and Simple 

or otherwise known as CAS creations

(a personal favorite of mine....as you may know from many of my cards)

As you may know from previous posts..we raise chickens~ hence the name of my blog :) and I am always on the lookout for chicken stamps....well I found this adorable older set from 

 Stampin Up~Best of Cluck 

but had the hardest time purchasing it....they were going for CRAZY prices on eBay so every time I was close to winning the set I was always outbid :(

Well I finally won it and this is the first time I am using it ....

So I hope you like my card!!

And I even finished off the inside....

What do you think.....Such a cute chicken right????

Since it is CAS, there were not a lot of extras added so I  linked all the products I used from The Kraft Journal below in the supplies used.

I could see making these in bulk and packaging them up for a quick hello to send to a friend.

It was super simple to put together and really what too the most time was the stitching and waiting for my stickles to dry!!

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Brown Kraft Cardstock, Bazzill Vanilla, Black

Stamps~ Stampin Up~ Best of Cluck

My Creative Time~Spring Chicken Backgrounds

Ink~ Vintage Photo Distress Ink, memento tuxedo black

Other~ Sewing machine, stickles (yellow, xmas red, frosted lace)

And here are a few pictures of "my girls"

The leader of the bunch.....she loves to follow us around  

digging for bugs....what they do best....

Bath time....rolling in the dirt

Well that is all I have for today....Thanks so very much for popping in to say hello!

Have a GREAT Monday everyone!!
