Today we are showcasing the new "I Love You Beary Much & Bear Dies." 

Love having these new "Bear" dies to quickly cut the bear out after I have colored it with my Copic markers.

With it being so cold I thought my little teddy bear needed a hat and scarf. I think he looks so cute!! Love how they fit perfectly on him. Since he is ready for the cold, I thought he needed a fun shaker snow scene. 

The sentiment goes perfectly with the cutie patootie bear that looks like he is extending his arms for a warm bear hug. So many other cute sayings in this set as well!!

My Creative Time: Die of the Month

Hi! Today we are featuring another "My FAVORITE stamp OR die of the Month!"  This month we are featuring one of my FAVE dies "Teeny Tag Layering Dies!".  If this set of dies have been on your wish list, you can pick this set up here at a discount price: http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Teeny-Tag-Layering-Dies-MCT-D19.htm?categoryId=-1

This set will be on sale for the entire month of January! The sale will end on January 31, 2015 @ 12:00am PST!  

So here is what I've created featuring the wonderful "Teeny Tag Layering Dies" along with some other fabulous MCT products.

For the base of the wine tag, I used Tag Dies and Tag Die Layers. To created the longer tag I just scored another tag in half and adhered it to the back of the first tag. Then I used the circle from Scallop & Stitched Circle dies to create the opening for the neck of the bottle. 

I stamped the "Happy New Year" sentiment on the Teeny Tag using Teeny Tag Holidays. Love having these little sentiments that go perfectly with these tags! They are so versatile!

I found this champagne bottle cut file over at SVG Cutting Files. I added a Peachy Keen Stamps: Happy New Year face to the bottle. I colored the nose and mouth in with Copic markers. I also chalked his cheeks and added white gel pen accents. I then tied the teeny tag to the neck of the paper pieced bottle.

I then added the "2015" to the bucket using Number Fun Dies and gold foil paper.

I then embellished the wine tag with a few sequins. These would be so fun to give to friends and family to celebrate the new year!

Thank you so much for stopping by!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Peachy Keen Stamps: Face Day

Hi, today I'm sharing a Peachy Keen Stamps: Face Day project. I know Christmas has just passed but I wanted to share this nativity scene I created using Kathy's fabulous face assortments. They really helped bring these paper pieces to life! 

I found this little nativity barn last year on clearance after Christmas. I couldn't wait to finally use it for this year!

For my scene I used cut files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons called Nativity 1 and Nativity 2. 

For the baby Jesus, I used PKS-Just Baby Faces Assortment. I colored his eye lids in with a Copic marker and drew his little strand of hair on with a Micron Pen. 

For the angel, I used the cute PKS-Cherub Face Assortment. I also colored her eyelids in with a Copic marker and then added Stickles on top. I accented her eyes with a white gel pen. Her halo was cut out using gold foil paper but just doesn't show in the picture unfortunately. I also used Stickles on her wings to make them shine.

For the banner I used My Creative Time's Vintage Stitched Label Die to cut out the sentiment.

For the cool camel, I used PKS-Here Kitty Kitty Face Assortment. I accented his eyes with a white gel pen and colored in his nose with a Copic marker. I extended the mouth using a Micron pen.

For Wiseman #1 (grey beard), I used PKS-Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment. For Wiseman #2 (brown beard), I used PKS-Retro Face Assortment. For Wiseman #3 (brown beard), I used PKS-Winter Wonderland Face Assortment. I colored each one of their eyes in with different Copic markers. It was so nice to use these assortment again since I had the chance to use them in awhile.

For Joseph's face, I used PKS- Laughy Taffy Face Assortment. For Mary's face, I used PKS-Princess Face Assortment. I colored in Joseph's mouth and eyes in with Copic markers. I use a white gel pen to fill in Mary's eyes and colored her lips in with a Copic marker. 

For the Shepard, I stamped on his face using PKS-Sweet and Innocent Face Assortment. I colored his eyes in with a Copic marker. 

For the adorable little sheep, I used PKS-Teddy Bear Face Assortment. I colored in his eye lids and mouth with Copic markers. I accented his eyes with a white gel pen. I just love how I could use a bear face on my sheep. Love how these faces are so versatile! 

For the cute little donkey, I stamped on his face using PKS-Medium Critter Faces. I accented his eyes with a white gel pen. These animals are just too cute and really bring a great element to the scene.

This project was so much fun to create and I don't have the fear of little ones breaking it. Always nice to use these fabulous assortments in a fun new way!

My Creative Time: Tag It Tuesday

Hi, today is Tag It Tuesday over on the My Creative Time Blog.

I have a cute little tag to share with you all that goes along with a yummy Frozen "Olaf" treat. Every time I see this sentiment from the Snow Buddies Stamp Set I can't help but think of Olaf! 

For the tag, I used MCT: Stitched Round Tab, Arrow, and Tag Dies. I cut two layers of tags out in the sparkly white Colorbok paper. I cut the second tag layer down using MCT: Fun Stitched Edges. I then traced the tag die onto the aqua card stock to create a mat for the tag and cut it out.

The adorable now man was stamped and cut out using MCT: Winter Snowman dies. I also cut out his scarf and hat using the same dies. I colored the nose, arms, and scarf bottom in with Copic markers. I made his cheeks a bit rosy with Inkadinkado: Chalk Ink.

I created a label that would fit the sentiment using MCT: Stitched Rectangular Frames dies. I then stamped on it the sentiment also from MCT: Snow Buddies Stamp Set. I love all the adorable sentiments in this set that match perfectly with the super adorable snowmen. On the back of the tag I stamped the "To" and "From" MCT: Just Tags stamp and die set. I then adhered it to the top of the treat! Now it is ready to brighten someone's day!!

 Thank you so much for stopping by!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Peachy Keen Stamps: Trendsetting

Happy Wednesday!! Today I am sharing a trendspotting project with you all today.

I've notice that neon colors are a big trend for the Christmas season this year. I can not say I would personally decorate with these bright colors but I thought they would look great on a cute Peachy snowman.

I stamped and paper pieced the adorable PK-1413 Smile Snowman using Recollection's neon card stock. I used a Copic marker to color in the arms and outline the snowman. I chalked his cheeks with Inkadinkado chalk ink. 

For the buttons, I stamped and paper pieced them from PKSC-23 November 2013. The Smile Snowman set does come with two pom-pom stamps you could use but I wanted to change things up a bit by using the buttons.

I used Versamark ink and Recollection's snow embossing powder to stamp on one of my favorite Peachy backgrounds, PK-1349 Woodland Birch, onto the neon blue card stock. I then cut it out with a My Creative Time: Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.

The sentiment was stamped on the speech bubble from PKSC-24 December 2013.  I then added the little stars using Hero Arts: neon yellow ink. They are also from the December 2013 set.

I cut the Colorbok: white glitter paper with a Lawn Fawn: Hillside Border die to create the snowy hills.

I then added a fun neon snowflake embellishment. The snowflakes are die cuts from My Creative Time. I added a larger button also from the November 2013 stamp set to the center to match the snowman.

Well I hope I have given you some inspiration on using these non-traditional colors in your holiday projects using Peachy Keen Stamps. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by!! Have a wonderful crafty day!!

MCT: Day 1 of 5 days of Christmas

Good morning!! I'm so excited for day 1 of My Creative Time: 5 days of Christmas!! We are sharing some fun Christmas projects created with MCT products and Miss Emma is giving away some amazing prizes!!

I have a simple holiday greeting card to share today.

For the base of the card, I used MCT: Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies. 

For the ornament base I used MCT: Bunch of Fun Circles. After cutting out the gold circle I embossed it was a Darice embossing folder. I love how it turned out! 

For the bow I used MCT: Fun Size Scallop Stitched Bow. I layered it with some red twine I had in my stash to make it look like it was hanging.

I wrapped a strip of Paper Studio: Vellum around the base of the card. 

I used Versamark ink and Recollection's Gold Glitter Embossing powder to stamp on the sentiment from MCT: Winter Cheer Stamp set.

I finished by adding a couple of Recollection's gold enamel dots to the Vellum.

A super simple card that would be very easy to recreate for the holiday season!
