Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge 13-10 :: Photo Inspiration

Hi Peachy Friends!!! We have another great photo inspiration challenge for you this week and I hope you will join us!! So please take a look at the picture below for inspiration and let your creativity run wild!!

When I saw this picture, it reminded me of the time when I visited the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland.  Such a beautiful place to go!! Which then got me thinking about the upcoming holiday of St. Patrick's Day. I thought these were perfect Leprechaun colors and so here is what I came up with!

This adorable leprechaun, lips, and sentiment come from PK-297 Kiss Me Leprechaun. The beautiful background stamp used on the clover is PK-190 Grandma's Kitchen Floor.

I decided to create a birthday wreath using the super cute KaDoodle Bug Designs cut file Birthday Party Kids. They were so easy to work with and all these Peachy Keen faces went perfectly with them!!

The fun birthday title comes from another KaDoodle Bug Designs cut file called Happy Birthday Title.

For this cutie pie, I used Peachy Keen Simple Simons for his face and added Glossy Accents to his glasses. For the balloon faces I used the Erkle & Merkle Face Assortment and Everyday Face Assortment.

 

I used Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment to make the little boy look like he was eyeing the cake and trying to sneak a piece of frosting from it. The super cute girl face comes from the new March PK Stamp of the Month set. The balloon faces are from the Sweet and Silly Face Assortment.

Isn't she so sweet?! Her face is also from the new March PK Stamp of the Month set. For these balloon faces I used Peachy Keen The Cornies Face Assortment and Winter Face Assortment.

Peachy Keen/Freckled Fawn: Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Monday, Everyone!!! The Peachy Keen Design Team are doing a fun cross promotion with Freckled Fawn. They have all kinds of washi tapes, wood chips, embellishments, paper items, and much more. Plus, they all can be used perfectly with your Peachy Keen Stamps.

For my two projects, I got to work with the Freckled Fawn Wood Chip Arrows, White Heart Paper Clips, and the Purple Polka Dot Washi Tape. They are so versatile and easy to work with. They add just the right element to any project.

For this card, I used the PK-295 Cupid's Sting (Cupid/Sentiment) and PK-149 Happy Snowman with Label (label) along with the Freckled Fawn Products. 

For this card, I used PK-694 The Uglies Face Assortment (Monster's eyes and mouth) and PK-163 Veggie Sentiments One (sentiment) along with the Freckled Fawn Products.

I love how the Freckled Fawn Products worked well with each card for a Valentine's Day theme.

PK Anything Goes Challenge: You are out of this world!!

Happy Friday!! Are you ready for another fun Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge? I hope so because this week is Anything Goes!! All you have to do is create a project using Peachy Keen Stamps. That is it!! So let your creativity run wild with your Peachies and come join in the challenge!!

For my example, I created a layout using just about every stamp from the new PK February-14 2013 Stamp of the Month set. I think I didn't use enough. Haha!! They are so much fun to work with!

I stamped and paper pieced every image from the SOTM. The only images not from the SOTM were the large Rocket from PK-167 Rocket Blast and the Spaceship from  PK-166 Happy Trails Spaceship. The sentiment used is also from PK-166 Happy Trails Spaceship. The faces/eyes on the orange planet, spring robot, and spaceship are from PK-173 Great Vibes Robots. I used the Cricut with the Stand and Salute cartridge to cut out the continents on the title bottle cap. I also used a white Gel pen and Glossy Accents on several of the PK images.

The aliens and their planet.

Twinkling stars.

Their batteries need charging! lol!

To the moon!

Peachy Keen Sneak Peeks Day #4

Happy Monday Peachy friends!! I'm excited to share with you a couple of projects I made with the new Peachy Keen February 2013 Stamp of the Month Set. They are so cute and such a blast to work with!!!

Isn't that robot just darling? I think so!!! 

All of the images and sentiment are from the February SOTM except for the robot's cutie pie face (add on set: Great Vibes Robots). For the stars I stamped and paper pieced them on yellow card-stock and added white gel pen accents. For the middle star, I added Glossy Accents to the eyes. The mini-rocket was stamped and paper piece onto papers from DCVW's Guy Stack and yellow card-stock  I added the flames from coloring white card-stock with Copic markers. I finished the rocket by adding white gel pen accents, outlining the main body with a Copic marker, and putting Glossy accents on the window. The robot was also paper pieced on paper from DCVW's Guy stack and outlined with a Copic marker. I added Glossy Accents to his eyes and the little circle at the bottom of the springs. I used Spellbinder's dies to cut the star circle and regular circles out. The photo corners were cut using an EK Success punch and Recollection's Wood Grain paper. The twine used for the balloons and background came from Wal-mart.

For this card I decided to create a slider card using two buttons. The large star, rocket, moon ,and sentiment are all from the February SOTM. The smaller stars are cut from a background stamp called Star Galaxy and glittered with stickles. I covered the large star with Glossy accents. I used yellow and orange card-stock for the paper piecing and for the bulk of the card. I also used a piece of pattern paper from DCVW's Guy Stack. The embossing folder used is a Cuttlebug Christmas Stars folder onto dark blue Core Dinations/Tim Holtz Distress card-stock. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the baker's twine from American crafts. The photo corners are from an EK Success Punch and the jewels are from Recollections.

Details on how to make the slider for the rocket coming soon!!! I apologize, hubby took the camera that had my pictures to show how to make it. It is really simple and adds a fun element to any card.

Please stop on by the Peachy Keen blog for more out of this world projects using the new February 2013 releases and please join us for the Peachy Keen February 2013 release party @ 6 p.m. CST tomorrow night (2/5). I hope to see you there!! :)
