Peachy Keen Stamps: September Sneak Peeks Day #1

Hello and WELCOME!

It's sneaky peeky time once again and we are so excited to have you join us tonight and tomorrow night for so...me cafty fun that will feature images for many special occasions!
Do you ever find yourself beginning to create a birthday card or project and just wish you had a simple "go to" stamp set that you could make great use of? One for any age, boy, girl, man, woman, friends, etc...? I think all of us have found ourselves in that place. In need of a set that we can quickly and easily create something fabulous with, or use those same images to add wonderful details to a more complex creation. Well, look no further, because that's just what we have for you!
Here's a little bit about where inspiration for this month's Stamp of the Month came from in Kathy's words...
Last month, I personally had several milestone birthdays to send cards out for. I found myself wishing I had a simple yet versatile birthday stamp set! I think if I would have had these stamps around I TOTALLY would have used them.
Happy and Healthy Hugs to All!
:)Kathy Jakopovich
Along with a super versatile birthday set, this month we have some great add on stamp sets
that will go just beautifully with previously released themes. Tonight we bring you designer creations using PKSC-33 Stamp of the Month set, PK-1428 Sentiments for September 2014, and PK-1429 and PK-1430, which are the newest faces to PKS. The Variety Face Assortment and Variety Faces 1 1/8 inch faces will allow you to add some new peachy cuteness to your creations.

Here is what I've created to share with you all today-

 

Right now I have a little bit of scrapbook supplies with me while I'm away from home and these Smash book pages are a simple yet fun way to scrap these special memories. When I saw Kathy's new images I just knew I wanted to create a fun page of my son's first birthday.

How adorable are these balloons? I just love them to pieces! Their cute little faces make them come to life. That little balloon blowing on the party blower makes me giggle! I cut each one out, inked the edges, and chalked their cheeks. I also added white gel pen accents. I used sewing string to tie bows and hang strings from each one.


I cut and matted each picture with red card stock. Then I added white gel pen stitching.

I cut each present out and inked the edges. I had to place the present tops a bit lower so they didn't cover up the pictures too much.

I added the title "It's your 1st BIRTHDAY!" to a cut out from My Creative Time's Stitched Vintage Label Die. I colored the "1st" in with Copic markers. Then I embellished it with Dollar Tree sequins.

Now I will always have a little Smash Book page embellished with the cutest images around to help remember my little guys special first birthday.
