Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer Week 28, Day 5 with In The Pink Designs by Cathryn

Good Morning!!!  Welcome to my last day as a Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer.  I have enjoyed myself more than I can express!  Thank you to PKS and their Design Team ladies for such a warm welcome and support!  AND thank you to all the followers who have left me such sweet comments.  I appreciate you all!!Ok on to my project!
I used a tin that I filled with yummy cookies as color inspiration for this gift tag. I used some patterned paper to stamp Mitsy Sue and added a little more color with some copics and pastels. I cut the image out and placed it on top of the same image I stamped on white paper. That was I didn't have to cut out the tail, flower and stem!  The attahced "gem" is a Tim Holtz Facet which is available in the PKS store.  I love these because the back is flat and it is easy to add a picture or sentiment to it!

Peachy Keen Stamps Guest Designer Week 28, Day 2 with In The Pink Designs by Cathryn - Tuesday Sketch Challenge

Hello my friends, this is Cathryn from In The Pink!  Today is my second day as Guest Designer for PKS.  I am so excited to participate with the fabulous ladies of the Design Team in the Tuesday Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge!   This time the CHALLENGE is to create a card with the Sketch AND Color Combo pictured below.  Your Design must be new and you must enter by 8/8/11.  Peachy Keen Stamps are not required to participate, but it's always great to see what you create with them if you have them already!

Here is my take on the Challenge.  I embossed the background of this card using the  Daisy stamps from another one of my favorite sets, Easter Patch.   This set has an awesome bunny, some grass and daisies.  It is a holiday set but I can use these stamps all year round.   I LOVE daisies.  They are beautiful, resilient and they can flourish just about anywhere!  Who wouldn't admire those qualities!

  


For the flowers I used the daisy cut from the new Cricut Projects Cartridge Flower Shoppe.  I spritzed them with some glimmer mist and added some stickles to the middle.  Then I used hot glue to attach them to the cardstock.

Materials:

PK-286 Easter Patch  -  Peachy Keen Stamps

This & That stamp set  -  My Creative Time

Blueberry Sky, Berry Sorbet & Spring Moss Cardstock  -  Papertrey Ink

Versamark Watermark Stamp pad

A La Mode Sparkle Embossing Powder

Memento Black Tuxedo Ink  -  Peachy Keen Stamps

Lime Ice Stickles

Irock and Gems

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl

Broken China and Worn Lipstick Distress Ink

materials around to play with.  I currently work from home 9 months a year painting glass for shows my husband and I attend on the weekends.  I try to find some time for crafting whenever possible.  A few years ago when I got my cricut I discovered  Peachy Keen Stamps and I have been hooked ever since!  I am so happy to be able to share a weeks worth of Peachy projects with you!

For todays project I have an altered note paper holder.  I used two PKS stamps for this project, Boogie Board Max and You Are My Sunshine.  Max is adorable and reminds me so much of my son Zach.  I used some glossy accents on the sun to give it "shine".

Guest Designer Week 27, Day 5

Happy Friday!  I can't believe this week is over - it went by so fast, and I am definitely sad to see it end!  I have had such a good time and appreciate all of the sweet comments that you have left.  Thank you to everyone at Peachy Keen Stamps!

This week I've taken you through a year's worth of scrapbook layouts; the only thing that I had left off was a birthday themed page.  I am so excited to participate in the Let's Face it Friday Challenge!  This week's theme is "Puns."  I decided to have a "won-DEER-ful" birthday celebration for the sweet deer from Create a Critter. 

 If you'd like to play along you can find all of the details HERE!

I don't care how many projects I do with the Create a Critter cartridge - I never get tired of it.  The Peachy Keen Critter Face stamps just push the "cute" factor up even more.  I have been saving this patterned paper to use for something special, and I decided that this week is awfully special, so it's the perfect time to put it to use.  I know that bright patterns aren't for everyone, but I love these - especially when paired with my favorite kraft cardstock.  

All of the animals are dressed up and ready for the deer's party.  I added distress ink and white gel pen doodles and faux-stitching to EVERYTHING in this layout.  It is a bit time consuming, but I try to distress and doodle as I go.  Normally while my Cricut is cutting out the images, I ink things and put together what I can.  I like to have all of my images ready to go once I start to actually put the layout together.  Sometimes I end up changing a few things around from my original design, once the cuts are in front of me.

I love the fox's "fabric" flower hair accessory.  All I did was attach a mini-brad to the fox, but before I pushed it all the way through - I wrapped the baker's twine all around it.  The twine is secured with gel adhesive.

I have never had much luck cutting out the balloon strings with my Cricut, so I decided that baker's twine would be even cuter.  I simply attached one end of the twine to my balloon and then tied the strings in a knot for the little squirrel to hold.

Guest Designer - Week 27, Day 4

As promised, I have a Christmas layout to share with you today.  I dusted off my Paper Doll Dress-Up cartridge and got to work sprucing up Santa and his reindeer with some Peachy Keen Face stamps.  If you have been wanting to purchase some Peachy Keen Stamps for the first time or add to your collection - this weekend they are having a "Christmas in July" sale July 22nd, 23rd & 24th!  Make sure to check it out!  I have my eye on a set or two...or three.  ;) 

I did have to cut out some images a few times, to create layers, which is a bit time consuming, but definitely worth it in the long run.  

I will use the smaller rectangle for journaling - more than likely I will add another piece of white (or maybe kraft) on top of the pink patterned paper, so that the writing will show up.  It's a little hard to tell in the pictures, but I outlined the stars with diamond Stickles to add a bit of sparkle. 

To attach the twine to the reindeer, all I did was run a line of gel glue and then attach the twine.  I did the same thing to attach the baker's twine to Santa's bag.

Guest Designer - Week 27, Day 3

Happy Wednesday!  I can't believe the week is already halfway through.  So far, I've shown you a spring layout and a summer layout, but today we have arrived in my favorite season - fall!  I am planning to use this layout for my daughter's first day of school pictures (she starts preschool in the fall), but you could use this layout for almost any occasion!  

See that red polka dot apple...that will probably be me on the first day of preschool, while Nicole will probably be more like the happy yellow apple.  Oh well...that's as it should be.  I did some more paper piecing for this layout, and I couldn't be happier with how those cute apples turned out.  I wasn't sure at first if I was going to add faces to my Faceless Fruit, but they looked so sad and lonely without a sweet Peachy face.  So...of course I added some little faces.  This time I used the Funshine Face Assortment.  Did you know those were the very first Peachy Keen face stamps?
