Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge

This week at Peachy Keen Stamps we have a sketch challenge.  I like the clean lines of this sketch.  It is a fast card to make but quite cute, I think!  I used one of the flowers from the Funny Flowers clear stamp set.  I stamped her twice, cutting out the leaves and layering them for a bit of dimension.  I added a Cheery Lynn Designs Anastasia border for a bit of elegance.  Finished size is 5 x 7 inches.

Peachy Keen and Freckled Fawn

Today is day 3 of the joint venture between Peachy Keen stamps and Freckled Fawn.  Our design team received some fabulous product to use in our crafting.  For my sample, I have used this wonderful Washi Tape and some great wooden arrow cutouts.  Combining this with my Peachy Keen Thinking of You bear, I created a center step card.  I broke the arrow in half, colored it with my Copics and then added it to look like it was piercing the heart!

Peachy Keen Stamps February Release

Welcome to Day 3 of Sneak Peeks for the new release at Peachy Keen Stamps! These stamps will be available for sale after the Release Party on Tuesday, February 5th.  Hope you can join us for that, because they are always LOTS of fun!  I combined a new background stamp with two new flower stamps and a fun sentiment to create my card.  I colored these cute flowers with my Copic markers.  I stamped the center flower twice, layering the center of the flower and the leaves for some added dimension.  The bottom half of the card is embossed with a Cheery Lynn Designs embossing plate.  Finished size is 5 x 7 inches.

Peachy Keen Stamps Valentine Cards

Today is my first solo post for Peachy Keen Stamps.  The new year is cruising along and it is time to start thinking about Valentines.  My first card uses the new January Release set.  I stamped the candies onto Cryogen metallic text weight paper and then colored the entire thing with my black Copic marker.  I carefully trimmed each candy out and then using an embossing tool, dry embossed the wrappers so they bow up around the candies.  I stamped the candies again onto Cryogen metallic card stock and trimmed just the candy portion out.  I colored them and then added Glossy Accents to give them a yummy shine.

I added this fun saying which is also part of the new January Release.  I used card stock from K&Company, the heart embellishment is Cheery Lynn Designs.  Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

For my next card, I have used this adorable stamp set called Valentine Cupids.  Isn't he a happy little guy!  I stamped him onto Cryogen metallic paper and then added the hearts around him.
Copics used:
Mouse - E41, E42, E43, R20, R21
Bow - E33
Hearts - R32, R35, R39
Wings - Clear Gelly Roll
I combined two of the sayings along with the arrow to create my sentiment.

The paper is from the Bo Bunny Love Letters Collection; the flourish and flowers are from Cheery Lynn Designs.  Finished size is 5.5" square.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out this week's 3D Bears challenge.

Peachy Keen Bears Oh My!

The challenge this week at Peachy Keen Stamps is to make a 3D object and use a bear.  I have created this fun basket using the new Thinking of You stamp set. I stamped this adorable bear onto Cryogen metallic paper and used Copics E23, E25 and R32 to color him.  I stamped him again onto DP and paper pieced his heart to match the paper on my basket. 

I made the basket using one sheet of 12 x 12 card stock.  Start with a piece of card stock 5 x 12 inches, scoring at 5 inches and at 7 inches so you have a 5 x 5 section on top and bottom with a 2 inch middle.  Before going any further you can decorate the front, back and insides; much easier to do when it is flat.  I used an Xacto knife to cut out a window to which I added a piece of heavy acetate.  My DP panels are 4.5 inches square.  Following the template above, cut your 2 side pieces, 3 x 6 inches, scoring vertically at .5 inches and at 2.5 inches.  Also score these pieces horizontally at 1 inch.  When you fold in the flaps, you will have a piece 2 x 5 that will fit snugly in between the front and back panels.  I used red liner tape to put my basket together.

For the handle, I adhered the two strips together so they are nice and strong, then attached them with red liner tape as well as a brad.  I decorated my basket with dies from Cheery Lynn Designs and paper from the Bo Bunny Love Letters collection.

Peachy Keen Stamps Sneak Peek

 

 
Today is day three of the sneak peeks for the January Release from Peachy Keen Stamps. I created an easel card with this adorable new bear from the January Stamp of the Month set.  I stamped her onto Cryogen Metallic paper and colored her head and paws with Copic markers; E21, E23, E25.  I used R83 for her cheeks and R81 for her ears.  I paper pieced her body and tummy, adding Sparkly Fluff for a fuzzy tummy.  I colored her heart with Copic R85. I stamped one of the two bows that comes with the set onto DP and added that to her head. 

On the card base, I added two new sentiments and a heart, also included in the January Stamp of the Month set.  The Peachy Keen Stamps Designers have some wonderful creations to share, so head over to The Peachy Keen Stamps Blog and check them out.

Peachy Keen Stamps Penguin Girl

ir

I am excited to announce I have been chosen as a new member of the Peachy Keen Stamps 2013 Design team.  To mark this occasion I have created this cute card with my adorable Penguin Girl.  I stamped her onto Cryogen metallic paper and then colored her with my Copic markers.  I used the coordinating metal die - Winter Character with Stocking Hat - to trim her out. 

The stamp set comes with 2 different faces, a sentiment and a To and From.  I used half of the sentiment on the front of the card as I did not want it to be a Christmas card. 

I look forward to working with the talented ladies of Peachy Keen and hope you will stop by the Peachy Keen Stamps blog and perhaps join us in a challenge.
