Peachy Keen Stamps Color/Photo Inspiration Challenge {14-02}

Good Morning 

and 

Welcome to another fun Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge!!!!

This challenge is the Color/Photo Inspiration seen below...

Don't you just LOVE the colors and patterns???

For my inspiration I used some of the colors~ 

Green, Pink and Yellow 

and the fun polka dots in the picture to make a sweet PK Friendship card.

Hope you like it!!!

That adorable flower stamp is PKS ~Lg Fun Flower Rosemary and it is the first time inking her up. 

I paper pieced her using My Minds Eye~ Collectable pattern paper and added some chalk and white gel pen doodles to her face :)

Once all the pieces were cut, I stamped her again on some white cardstock, glued the pattern pattern into place and then fussy cut a frame. She was then popped up onto my card base using some foam tape.

Since I wanted the flower stamp to really stand out, I kept the base of my card pretty simple. I did add some zig zag stitching to the border and then stamped the sentiment from My Creative Time~Floral Sentiments.

To finish off my card, I added a few matching colored enamel dots from various packages. Boy do I LOVE those enamel dots! They are such a GREAT extra embellishment!

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with the new challenge!!

You can find out all the details by heading over to the Peachy Keen Blog as well as see the inspiration from the other DT members!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Saturday!!!

Valentine's Day Suckers.....{MCT Thrifty Thursday}

Good morning everyone and welcome to 

My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.

A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items using My Creative Time stamps and dies!

Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow I made come treats for my son's Valentine's Day party.

 I have been trying really hard to use what I have before cutting into another piece of card stock.

So before I share my project I have a tip that has been helping me get through the never ending stack of cardstock.

I take the dies I use the most from MCT~ in this case the Label Die from the Just Simply Live Stamp set and I cut multiples when I have that little scrap of white cardstock laying around. I am able to use up what is left of the paper, I have a bundle of die cuts ready to stamp on and no scraps :) I see it as a win win all around!

I did the same thing with the hearts, I had a bunch of red cardstock left over from when I made the Christmas Pillow Boxes (see project HERE) so I used that and the large heart from the new Stitched Sweethearts & XOXO Dies and got through a huge chunk of those scraps.

Now I can share my projects..... I used the fun Heart Winged Lollipop Covers from SVG Cutting Files as the base to my suckers and then the die cuts from My Creative Time to decorate the front.

I tied these all together using Cranberry Trendy Twine and the sentiment from the Puffy Hearts Just For You stamp set

The same stamp set was used for this as well but I added Berry Trendy Twine to close these ones

And these are the last of the bunch. Again I used the same sentiment and this time added some Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.

So what do you think?????

I am hoping the kiddo's like these! 

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!
I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Thursday!!!

I Love You......{PKS}

Morning everyone! 
I hope your weekend is off to a GREAT one!
Super excited because this is my 1000th post!
Crazy right???? It has taken me 3 years to accomplish this and I can not wait to see what the next 1000 posts bring :)

If you are a FB follower of mine you have already seen this card when I shared it the other day HERE (if you are not a FB liker, I would LOVE it if you stopped by!!)
Anyways

I wanted to pop in to share a card I made using a special  Peachy Keen Stamps set~
Teddy Bear Love 
which PKS released the other day along with the new February Stamp sets! 
Lucky for all you....it is on sale for the month at a discounted price and let me tell you this set is super CUTE!!!!

Using one of the adorable teddy bears, I made this sweet Valentine's Day card.

My card base is Kraft Cardstock from The Kraft Outlet and the designer papers is from my scrap bucket. (trying real hard to use up the ever GROWING stash)

I added some zig zag stitching to the mats and then ties a beautiful bow using some gorgeous May Arts Ruffled Edge ribbon from Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions, along with some white jute string.

The sentiment, which is part of the PKS set, was die cut using the Teeny Tags Layering Dies from My Creative Time.

And finally is the super ADORABLE Teddy bear! I colored her using my copic markers and then added a dot of stickles to her bow and some chalk to her cheeks. Isn't she just cute as can be!!!

So just a few more announcements before I head out.

Morning!
~If you are looking for my Peachy Keen Stamps February New Release Blog Hop project please click HERE~

It is time for another My Creative Time Challenge!!!

Ready for this one...... 
the My Creative Time DT was challenged by fellow DT member Lee~Ann to make a project using at least 8 MCT products.

No problem right???
Wrong!!
Now I have made several projects using MCT..... a lot using several products from Miss Emma. So when it came time to put this all together I really struggled
BUT.....
I did it and here is the card I made!

Hope you like it and I hope you will play along with our challenge too.
All the details on linking up can be found HERE
Don't worry, once you get going you will have no problem using all your MCT stamps and dies~ a total of at least 8.

I wanted to use this sentiment since Emma released it last month pairing it up with her adorable umbrella die. The designer papers I used for my card are from the Mayberry paper pad from American Crafts. I did add some machine stitching to the card mat, I love how it compliments Emma's stitching on her dies :)
I layered all the pieces onto some Kraft cardstock from The Kraft Outlet and popped up the clouds, sentiment and umbrella circle die cut using foam pop dots.

MCT Products:

Puffy Hearts Just for You

Stitched Umbrella Die

Stitched Oval Die

Stitched Heart Layering Dies

Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies

Stitched Cartoon Cloud Dies (x3)

So what do you think?????

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!

If you’re a subscriber to our Stamp of the Month club, then you’ve already received a little background about how this release came about, but for those who might not yet be subscribers, here’s a little more about this release in Kathy’s own words…

"There is a reason behind 

this mixed theme.  My only grand-daughters are moving to Florida with their parents.  

My daughter and son-in-law gave me this news just as I was pulling ideas together for February.  It took over my mind and soon it all kind of CLICKED!

A labor of love and from the heart, the designs this month will be perfect for so many of your creative projects that we can’t begin to name them all"

For my project I used 2 of the new release stamp sets~ 
Tropical Vacation Kitty Cat and Kawaii Face Assortment
With the weather being so cold lately, I needed a little sunshine and what better way then a tropical vacation~ Peachy Keen style :)

I just LOVE those Kawaii faces! Don't you??
For my kitty, I colored her with copic markers and then paper pieced her adorable bathing suit using pattern paper from Echo Park's ~A Perfect Summer.
There is a lot of dimension to my card....
My kitty was placed on a die cut from 
Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon~Scalloped Circle Cutting File and popped up using foam pop dots.
The cute surf board, also paper pieced was popped up next to my kitty :)
The fun sentiment, stamped onto My Creative Time's~Stitched Oval Die is also popped up and I added the adorable sun, stamped with her cute Kawaii face onto the edge of the sentiment.

I added a few banner pieces that I hand cut to the card and then used the Fun Stitched Edge Dies to the center card stock panel.
I hope you have enjoyed my project!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day......{Seize the Sketch #13}{Post #2)

Morning again everyone!
If you are looking for my Peachy Keen Stamps February Release Sneak for day 4 please click HERE!

It is time for another Seize The Sketch Challenge.

Here is the new challenge sketch.....

and here is the Valentine's Day card I made using it!

For my card I used the so super CUTE Peachy Keen Stamps~Valentine Cupids and paper pieced the mouse with a very light gray cardstock. I then added some pink copic color to his ears and mouth, chalk to his cheeks and some diamond stickles to his wings.
The designer paper is from my stash...not exactly sure from where and the white ribbon is from 3GJ.

So what do you think???

I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!
