Cut Files, Clipart, and Stamps OH MY! KBD and TCBJ Face Fan Page Hop

Hi! Today, we have a fun Facebook Fan Page Hop going on using KaDoodle Bug and Too Cute By Jessica cut files. 


Here is my project for Day 1 (Friday, Sept. 27th )of the hop:


I created this little Halloween gift bag using KaDoodle Bug Designs Spooky Boo Bear File:http://www.kadoodlebugdesigns.com/item_1332/Spooky-Boo-Bear.htm 


After cutting out each piece I used a sponge and Tom Holtz Tea Dyed Distress Ink on the sides of every piece. Then I glued them all together.

For the pumpkins and the spiders, I used Peachy Keen's PK-550 Pumpkin Faces. I then put chalking ink on their cheeks.

For the ghost face I used a Peachy Keen retired set called Monsters N' More. I too used chalking ink on the the ghost cheeks. 

The sign comes from Peachy Keen's PK-646 Faceless Fall Fun 2. I used Versamark and Recollection's snow white embossing powder on it. I stamped the "Boo!" from another retired set called Phrases that stretched. I embossed the sign and the fence using a Darice Wood grain embossing folder.

The handle bag file comes from SVG cutting files. It is so easy to put together. After putting on the background square which is paper from Hobby Lobby, I finished with an American Craft baker's twine border.

PKC 13-38 : 3D Objects : Potluck

 Are you ready for another fun Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge? We sure hope so because we have a great one this week. 

Create a 3D object of your choice following the theme Potluck. Ever gone to a potluck and had no clue what a dish might be? Here is your chance to make an item to give a heads up of what your dish is. It could be toppers, placards, a banner, or anything else that sparks your creativity! Or maybe you have an awesome way to display your dish, that would work too. Use your amazing creativity to make a run with this challenge!! 
We'll be awarding "TOP PEACH" to the player who uses their Peachy Keen Stamps this week and  our two runner ups will receive a spiffy badge to display on their blog!

This one made me think a bit since I didn't want to do just your normal place card sign. So here is what I came up with. 

Whenever I go to a family reunion there is always a potluck dinner. Usually there are a lot of desserts that includes pies. Sometimes you have no idea what each one is till someone digs into them. Well with these adorable little chef signs you have no problem of knowing what pie is what. 

The little chef die cut comes from KaDoodle Bug Designs: Kitchen Chefs. I added a PK face from the Christmas Character face stamp assortment. This is a must have in my book!! I love this set! I then made their cheeks rosier with Inkadinkado Chalk Ink. Lastly, I inked the sides with black ink and added pen doodling to each one. 


Here is a closer look at one of the little chefs. I used the pie from the brand new PK set called In the Kitchen.  Once I stamped it on the cut out, I then proceeded to color them in with Copic Markers.


I decided that I needed a cute little container to hold forks and knives. You can never get enough utensils at a potluck. 



I found these adorable little bags at the Dollar Tree and thought they would make a great craft project someday. Well thankfully I had them on hand because I thought it would make a wonderful container for my utensils. I took the ribbons out of it first. I then cut a tag out from a die cut from My Creative Time. Tied the ribbon on the tag from the bag. (No I didn't mean to be a poet hahaha) I then adhered the little chef and the tag onto the front of the bag. Instant utensil container.

So that is my project in a nutshell! We hope you will join along in this challenge and I can't wait to see what you all come up with. 

Guidelines:
- Design must be new
- Link up by 9/25- 11:59 pm EST

September PKS Release Reveal and Challenges


Happy Peachy Keen Stamp Release Day!! I hope you were able to join us for the release party tonight! If not, you can still go back to PKS ning site and see all the amazingly talented DT projects. My design team sisters are amazing and they have created some wowzers.


Here is my card for Gigi's Challenge: Create any project that includes a Peachy Keen Face and at least 1 Die Cut.  


I cut this adorable little girl out from the brand new Cricut Cartridge called Create a Friend. It has so many great little kid characters on it and your Peachy Keen Stamp faces will look amazing on them. Just like the Moodies face I used on her. She looks so adorable with that face! She was cut at 3.5 inches.

The mixing bowl is actually the small coffee cup from the new PKSC-21 September 2013. I just cut the handle of and it looks like a bowl.

The the mixer or egg beater comes from the new PK-1337 In the Kitchen. I stamped and paper pieced it and then colored the handle in with a copic marker to match the bowl.

The cake also comes from the new stamp of the month kit. I stamped it with Versamark ink and then put pearl embossing powder on it. I then colored the cake body with a Lemon Copic Marker. The cake stand was cut from an SVG from KaDoodle Bug Designs called Birthday Party Kids. 

I combined three sentiments to come up with my birthday sayings. "Whippin' Up" comes from In the Kitchen. I used the a from "Hot Flash!!". It as well as "Happy Cake Day!" come from the Stamp of the Month.

I hope you like my card! Here is the details for entering in Gigi's Release Challenge:

Peachy Keen Day #4 of Sneak Peeks


Hi!!
Today, is the last day before the big reveal of the September Peachy Keen Stamps!! Kathy has really "cooked" up some very cute stamps this month!

Here is what I created with them.



I have seen these wonderful menu boards made for a few years now and decided it was about time to try my hand at one. These stamps were simply perfect in decorating my menu board. 

I first purchased a dollar store cookie sheet pan and some craft magnets. Costing roughly around 5 dollars for all of them. 

It was a little time consuming considering it was my first one but it was really simple to make.

Please excuse my tutorial photos they were taken with my IPad so they aren't the best quality.

1. Measure the Cookie Sheet Pan.

2. Cut the desired papers you want to use for the size of the pan. I also used an EK Success Paper Punch to round the corners to match them up easily with the pan.


3. Apply Modge Podge to the pan to adhere the papers to it. You want to add it pretty thick. So it doesn't bubble up in some places.


4. Then place your papers on it. I did not put modge podge on the top since my papers were thinner. Now it is ready to be decorated.


I stamped and paper pieced all of the wonderful new stamps. Which will be available tomorrow night @7 p.m. Central Standard Time (9/5).

I then just placed all the items on the pan to see what kind of layout I wanted. The good thing with it being magnetic is I can change it up if I want to down the road.



The days of the week letters are not a new release but they are a wonderful set to have. They come from the PK-156 Lucy's ABC's and 123's Solids. I covered each of the letters with a bubble sticker I had on hand. I think they were Recollection's brand. Once I finished putting them together I added magnets to the back.



The two pocket holders were cut out using a SVG called Seed Packet from SVG Cutting Files. In the fridge pocket I put some die cut papers to write on and the oven pocket holds other meal ideas. I too added magnets to the back of the pockets so they would be easy to remove and get access to.


I finished by adding magnets to the back of the pan so that I may hang it right on the Fridge. 

I hope you've enjoyed my project! It was so much fun to work with these amazing stamps!!


Please be sure to join us for our REVEAL/RELEASE PARTY on the PK Connection
TOMORROW at 6 pm CDT, where we'll be chatting, giving away prizes and more!
