O' Christmas Tree Treats!

Hello! A quick post today to share some treats I made for my girls to take to school this Friday.  I used the print and cut feature on the Cricut Explore! So easy! I added tinsel glitter from Martha Stewart and I feel like the glitter is in my throat and eyes. Oh the suffering that goes on for our crafting.. heehehe

Peachy Keen Challenge : Cards with Leaves

Hello Everyone! Time for another Peachy Keen Challenge. This week create a card with leaves. For my sample, I created a shaped card with the acorn from Cricut's Create A Critter 2. The top of the acorn is stamped with PK-133 Oak Leaves and Acorn Background.

"Happy Fall" is from PKSC-22 October 2013.  This set has 42 stamps!  That is a whole lot of "peachy fun". The pattern paper is from one on my favorites, Farmhouse by Crate Paper.

Be sure to link your card up by November 6, 11:59 EST. 

Party Lion

Hi this is my second post today...
(some people don't want to do laundry he he)

There is a shaped card challenge going on at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. I love to make shaped cards and thought the Lion from Create A Critter 2 would make a perfect birthday card for a child.

Face Stamp- Peachy Keen Stamps PK-751 Animal Faces

Sentiment- Stamp Annie Thing Wish Big

Paper- My Minds Eye Hootenanny

Cardstock- Coredinations

Thanks for taking a peak and my Party Lion... off to the laundry room :(

Lucky Turtle

Happy Friday! Today I made a shaped turtle card with Create A Critter 2.  He is for a challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut, this week's challenge is to make a project for St. Patrick's Day.  The desert turtle roams the earth near me, so I picked colors for a desert turtle.  He is dressed up for St. Patrick's Day and wearin' the green.

Face Stamp- PK-180 Erkel and Merkle Face Assortment
"Lucky" Stamp- PKSC-2

Have a great weekend!

O Easter Tree!

Happy Friday! There is a new Peachy Keen Challenge up on the blog. Create a 3D object of your choice following the theme Metal. Use metallic ink, a metallic look, or you can actually use something metal on your project.  Be sure to link up your new project by 2/27/13.  I found this metal tree at Micheal's  and thought it would be fun to decorate.  The cuts are from Create A Critter 2 and are about 3 inches tall. Since the back would be visible, I cut another layer for the back.  The rabbits have little pom pom tails and chicks have feather tails to add interest.  Peachy Keen's stamp set, PK-754 Critter Faces was used for the animal and flower faces. The butterfly faces were stamped with PK-180 Erkle and Merkle Face Assortment. Love the "buggy eyes" on this new set.

OH yes, my tree has an  Easter Bunny  Dachshund. "Happy Easter"
sentiment if from  PK-263 Springtime Minis

I hope you like my project today. Be sure to check out the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog for more projects ideas from the design team.

Whoo loves you Treat Topper

Hi crafty friends.  There is a fun challenge going on at  Fun 'n' Flair Stamps.  For this challenge, make a treat bag topper. Perfect timing to make a little Valentine gift.  The owl is from Create A Critter 2. I just love the way that cartridge layers. I used my new stamp set from Fun 'n' Flair stamps, It's All About Love.  If you have not picked up any Fun 'n' Flair Stamps of your own... JUMP on this chance to buy a digital stamp.  Oh MY Goodness... the cutest cupid is one sale, Shayla Goes Cupid Digital Set.  I ordered this stamp and will be coloring this cutie this weekend.  Here is my treat bag for the challenge, I hope to see your project at the challenge too.

The stamped hearts on the wings and the sentiment are from
FNF-04 It's All About Love

Koala Love

Happy Monday! This sweet koala bear shape card was made with Create A Critter 2. Using my Gypsy, I welded the shadow shape for the base. The gorgeous eyes are stamps from Peachy Keen. (PK-136 Large Bear Facial Features) Her heart is decorated with Fun 'n' Flair Stamps FNF-04 It is All About Love. Her flower on her bow is punched with the Hydrangea Punch from Martha Stewart.

The colors of this card are from this week's  Peachy Keen's Color Challenge.  The soft grays made me think of a Koala Bear. Strange but true.  I will also be joining the Challenge at Fantabulous Cricut this week with this card.  Their challenge is to make a card with your Cricut and use a heart cut.

Valentine Frame Banner

Hello! This week the Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge is to make a project with a tag.  The banner cuts are from Create A Critter 2 and they are on a tag from A Child's year.  I cut an animal with a coordinating "Valentine" phrase and used my Peachy Keen Stamps for their sweet faces. The tags hang on tulle that is tied to the frame.

PKS January Sneak Peek!

Happy New Year!!  I have a two projects to share today that I have made with the NEW Peachy Keen Stamps Club set for January 2013. This is an adorable set with sweet teddy bears, sentiments, Valentine's Day fun, faces and more! You can purchase the Peachy Keen Stamps Club sets separately or sign up for the automatic delivery and save on your stamps.

 

For my first project- I made these mail boxes for my gals. This is a one sheet paper cut available at the Silhouette Store, 3D Mail Box #7503 .  The mail box was easy and fun to decorate with PKSC-13. You could decorate some pre-made mail boxes too.

AND hold on Cricut Fans, this sweet bear is from Create a Critter 2, cut at 3 inches. The faces in this set fit perfectly!

 

I hope you can stop by the Peachy Keen blog and see more of the projects from the design team.  The Peachy Keen Ning site will have their Release Party this Saturday, Jan 5, at 6 CST. You can check out ALL the new stamps and play along with a "NEW" Challenge for a chance to win some beautiful Peachy Keen Stamps! Hope to see you there!!



I - Challenge

Imaginisce is having some challenges this weekend... I was interested in playing along so hit my local scrapbook store after work on Friday to pick up some of the cute papers from Imaginisce.  No luck.  But, my little gal and I found some paper at Michael's of all places!  Check out the details of the Challenges HERE. Entries are due by November 21, 2012.

Challenge #1 Sketch Challenge:

Pattern Paper- Imaginisce Cottage Christmas,
 Gingerbread Village, Winter Woods
Deer- Cricut, Create a Citter 2

Challenge #3 Color Challenge, use teal, orange, purple, green, black.
The paper from the Dig Dino's Collection had most of these colors. I even made a custom button with my I-top tool.

The dino on the button looks like he is looking at his fate...
aww, not so Dino-riffic
Fossil cut- Cricut Dinosaur tracks
Stamp- My Pink Stamper, Boy Crazy

Challenge #4- Use Stitching.  For my "stitching", I used a marker and I think it adds to the country feel of the Imaginisce Cottage Christmas paper line.

Stamps are from Peachy Keen- PK-149
Tag Cut- Cricut Sentimentals


Thanks for stopping by, hope you are having a great weekend :)

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenges and SALE!

I hope you were able to join the party... but if not the Challenges are still open to be eligible to win some Peachy Keen Stamps!  Check out the Peachy Keen Connection and link up your projects for the challenges.  Challenges will remain open until Sunday, November 11th at 11:59 p.m CST.
For Challenge #1, you need to make a tag.  I made a tag for my "handsome buck" with the new
PKSC-11. You can join the Stamp Club and save on your purchase of these BIG stamp sets.

This darling deer is in a frame cut with Joys of the Seasons Cricut Cartridge.



For Challenge #2, make a project with a snow flake.  One of my other hobbies is decorative painting... and I bought these porcelian ornaments to paint.  I thought I would try distress ink on them and that worked very nicely.  The dear has the same face used on the tag above... but with a different nose.  I love the mix and match factor of Peachy Keen's Stamps. 

Deer is from Create a Critter 2, cut at 2 inches

Fun Fall Favors

There will be some new Cricut cartridges soon. Much to my delight, Create a Critter 2 will be one of them.  I love the way Create a Critter layers and from what I have seen, the sequel is just as great.  The Cricut Craft Room has a few of the animals for FREE and I made these favor boxes using  Create a Critter 2 and Craft Room Basics.   I was planning to use these as place holders for Thanksgiving but would be nice for a little "thinking of you" present.  I am entering these squirrels into the Create a Critter 2 contest that Provo Craft is hosting and have the cut file and directions at their Project Center.
