Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge

Hello, today we have a brand new Peachy Keen Stampschallenge! It's filled with fabulous fall colors!! We hope you come join in on the fun!!

Here’s how the challenge works. We’ve taken two of our most popular challenges, the color challenge and photo inspiration challenge and combined them. (PLEASE NOTE that just for fun, in future challenges we may change this up.) We’ll you can use the photo, color palette, or any combination for endless opportunities in your creative process. Just decide what part of the challenge inspires you and create whatever you’d like. Card, home decor, scrapbook layout, WHATEVER. It’s totally up to you. Please remember that you DON’T HAVE to use Peachy Keen Stamps to play along with our challenge, but we love it when you do!

Here are the challenge photos for you to draw inspiration from, with challenge details to follow.

I was inspired to create a home decor' piece using the ever so cute PK-141 Lil' Tweets Thanksgiving stamp set.

I purchased this rustic 5x7 frame on clearance from Michael's and knew I wanted to create a great Thanksgiving project with it. 

I stamped and paper pieced both of the turkeys with scraps I had lying around. I colored each one with Copic Markers and added white gel pen accents. I also chalked their cheeks with Inkadinkado chalk ink.

I stamped the sweet little prayer on to a label die cut from My Creative Time. I added brown ribbon to the base and gold sequins to the label. Both were from my stash.

I then used an EK Success corner punch and more gold sequins to embellish the corners of the pattern paper.

The daisy is from a Spellbinder's die. I cut out each petal and inked it with Memento: Dandelion ink. Then I added a small sequin to the center to match the picture.

The leaves were cut from a My Creative Time die and inked with coordinating Memento inks.

Well that's my project!! A super cute home decor' project that will brighten someone's home on the upcoming turkey day next month.

My Creative Time: Made In Minutes

Hi, today is Made In Minutes over on the My Creative Time blog. 

I have created a cute little treat for Halloween using MCT products that can be made in a matter of minutes.

For the base, I used MCT: Stitched Lollipop Holder Die.

I created the embellishment by first creating a small MCT: Scalloped Stitched Rosette. I then layered an orange spider web on top from MCT: Wicket Fun Dies. I then added a cute ghost from MCT: Stitched Spooky Ghost dies.

On the ghost, I first used Memento: Gray Flannel to ink the edges. I then stamped on an adorable face using Peachy Keen Stamps: The Uglies face assortment. I colored his eyes in with a Copic marker and chalked his cheeks.

I used MCT: Trio Stitched Banner dies for the sentiment banner. 

The "Happy Halloween" sentiment is from MCT: Trick or Treat stamp set.

I added Recollection's Witches Dust enamel dots to the banner and adhered it to my lollipop holder base.

I tied my lollipop holder together with black and white American Crafts Twine and added a orange Toosie Pop to the center. 

This is a fun and simple project to make thanks to Miss Emma's products!!

MCT: Designer's Challenge

Hi, today we have a Designer's Challenge over on the My Creative Time blog based on the picture below. You can create a project using inspiration from the photo, the colors, or whatever inspires you from it.

So here is what I came up with.

I found this little bucket in the dollar section at Target. I wish I could have made a luminary but this will have to do. I first cut the pumpkin face from an svg in black card stock. I used Modge Podge to adhere it to the bucket. To create the eye balls, I used a larger circle from MCT: Picture Perfect and a smaller circle from MCT: Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves. 

I added a trim to the top of the bucket using MCT: Fun Stitched Edges and orange card stock. I added Recollection's Faux Jewels to the trim.

I cut out the super cute little ghost from MCT: Stitched Spooky Ghost Dies. I added a Peachy Keen Stamps: Cutie Pie face and chalked the cheeks. I added the ghost as well as a spider web from MCT: Wicked Fun Dies to a paper stray that also came from the Target dollar section.

Next, I stamped the "Happy Halloween" sentiment onto the tag from MCT: Teeny Tag Greeting Stamp Set. I then tied it to the straw using American Crafts Black and White twine.

I filled the bucket with black present paper and some yummy treats. I then stuck my decorated straw in the middle and now it is ready to be a spooktacular gift for Halloween!

My Creative Time: Scrappin' the Little Things

Today is Scrappin' the Little Things over on the My Creative Time Blog. I have a Smash Book page that I created of my little Lego master. He loves putting the sets together as well as creating his own Lego configurations. 

For the title I used: MCT: Upper and Lowercase Fun Dies along with MCT: You are Fabulous and MCT: Stitched Message Bubble Dies (exclamation point). I added glossy accents to the black letters.

The Lego blocks were created using MCT: Photobooth Stitched Die and the geotag from the MCT: Never Be Lost Stamp Set. I inked the edges of the blocks with coordinating Memento inks and added white gel pen accents.

The Lego: Wild Style and Emmet are each a svg I got from a recent SVG Cutting Files hop. I added glossy accents to their hair to make it look shiny just like the real Lego people. I also added white gel pen accents to their bodies.

The large photo mat and photo were cut out using MCT: Stitched Rectangular Frames and More. I embossed the green mat with a Seeing Spots Cuttlebug folder.

The smaller photo he was literally saying "Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie. We don't sing Frozen songs in this house just the Lego movie song. Hee Hee!

For the tab, I used MCT: Stitched Tab die. I added the sentiment using MCT: Alpha Pack.

I finished by added the blue arrow from MCT: Stitched Mini Frame & Arrow dies and the red arrows from MCT: Stitched Round Tab, Arrow, and Tag dies.

Well that's my project! Please head on over to the My Creative Time Blog to see the rest of the design team's amazing creations!!

My Creative Time: What a Treat Wednesday

 Hi, today is What a Treat Wednesday over on the My Creative Time Blog.  We are to create treat containers with our MCT products. 

So I came up with a spin on a thank you card. I created the thank you box.

I first cut out a pillow box svg from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. Then I stamped on the MCT: Build a Scripty Background with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink.

I cut out a hole in the middle of the box using MCT: Stitched XL Label Die. Then I used it along with MCT: XL Label Die to create a border layer to go over my original cut on the box. Then I used MCT: Stitched Rectangles and More to cut out a block of acetate to create the window.

The pretty leaves were all cut out from MCT: A Thankful Heart Stamp Set. I inked the edges of each one with Memento inks. 

The cute little acorns are from Peachy Keen Stamps. I colored the top with a Copic Marker and added white gel pen accents.

The little tag and sentiment are from MCT: Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp Set.

I added gold sequins and then filled it with candy corn. You could even put a little thank note in there as well.

Well that's my project!! A fun little thank you that will brighten anyone's day.

Peachy Keen Stamps: Face Day!

If you are looking for My Creative Time: Try Me Tuesday, please click here.

Hi Peachy friends!! Today I’m sharing a project with some super cute Peachy Keen faces.

I made this fabulous little birthday kitty box for my mom’s birthday with a svg from SVG Cutting Files.

For the kitty's face, I used PK-111 Here Kitty Kitty 1 1/8" stamp set. I used a Horizon Green Copic marker to color in the eyes. For the mouth, I used Lite Pink and Peach Copic markers. I added Inkadinkado chalk ink to his face as well as white gel pen accents. I finished his look by adding a sequin to his birthday hat.

For the adorable balloon trio, I used PKSC-33 September 2014. Their faces are from PK-1430 Variety Faces 1 1/8".  I also used chalk ink on their faces and added white gel pen accents. I tied each one of the balloons to the kitty's tail using American Crafts twine.

For the polka dotted present, I used Veramark Ink, Recollection's Snow embossing powder, and PK-1395 Circus Polka Dots Size A2. The bow on the present was stamped and paper pieced using PKSC-13 January 2013. 

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment also from PKSC-33 September 2014 was stamped on a cute little tag from My Creative Time's Teeny Tag Greetings and Dies.

I filled the box with pink Decorative Shred and Hersey's Kisses.

Well that's my project!! I had so much fun creating this birthday box with my Peachy Keen Stamps! I can't wait for for my mom to get this for her birthday!! 

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Happy stamping!

P.S. We still have a great Peachy Keen Stamps challenge going on that we would love for you to join in on the fun!! You can find it here.

My Creative Time: Try Me Tuesday

Today is Try Me Tuesday over on the My Creative Time Blog. We are trying a technique where we create our own stencils with MCT dies. 

So here is what I came up with.

To create my stencil: I used MCT: Stitched Rectangles and More to cut out a small rectangle in heavy white card stock. I then cut out three leaves from MCT: A Thankful Heart Stamp set in the rectangle. I then layered my stencil on another white card stock rectangle and taped it to my cutting mat. Now it was ready to ink.

For my leaves: I used a sponge to color them with Potter's Clay, Dandelion, Tango, and Rhubarb Stalk Memento inks. Then I stamped on the leaves with MCT: Build a Script  in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I didn't ink the whole stamp up so that way each leaf would look unique to the others.

I stamped the sentiment from MCT: Something to Be Thankful For stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I love this sentiment to the moon and back! It is oh so true! I colored the little heart in with a Dark Red Copic marker.

I matted it with green Recollection's card stock and adhered it to my card base.

I finished it by adding gold sequins.

Well that's my card! I hope I have inspired you to create your own stencils with My Creative Time dies. I had so much fun trying this technique out! I hope you will too!
