Candace Zentner :: October Guest Designer!

GOOD MORNING!!
We are thrilled to introduce you to our October Guest Designer 
Candace Zentner!!!

I am a stay at home mommy of three little girls and I love to use crafting as a way to unwind at the end of the day. Before I had my girls, I was a Civil Engineering Technologist, but I just couldn't go back to work and miss out on all the special moments with them as they started to grow up. I have always been into scrapbooking, but it wasn't until I started creating layouts for my first daughter that I really got bit by the crafting bug. My favorite things to make are scrapbook layouts, cards and treat packages. I love being able to create fun projects, and I also love interacting with all the amazing ladies I have met throughout my crafty journey. Aside from crafting, I am passionate about photography, interior decorating,  traveling (mostly to DisneyWorld), shopping and anything fun I can do with my little princesses. 

Please join us in extending a very warm welcome to Candace and drop by each Tuesday this month to see what crafty goodness she'll be sharing with her Peachy Keen Stamps!!

Hey everyone! Candace here from Scrappin' 2 Little Princesses! I am SO excited to be here! The very first set of stamps I purchased was from Peachy Keen over three years ago and I have been in love with PK ever since. It feels amazing to be a guest here this month! Somebody pinch me!! ;) 

I can't wait to show you my project today... 

I know that summer is over, but I think I am in denial...  It snowed here three days ago, but I refuse to put my flip flops away! :) 

These little popsicles are cute, but adding some PK faces takes the cuteness through the ROOF!!

I used two of my favorite face assortment sets on my popsicles: Sweet & Innocent and In the Garden. To make my cute little treats stand out, I popped them up using some foam stickers. 

Here is everything I used to make my card...

- Peachy Keen Sweet & Innocent Face Assortment Stamp Set

- Peachy Keen In the Garden Face Assortment Stamp Set

- Peachy Keen Stamp Club Kit 18 - June 2013

- Popsicle SVGs from Miss Kate Cuttables

- American Crafts washi tape

- Glossy Accents

- Pebbles Chalk

- White Gelly Roll Pen

- Sequins

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I cannot wait to show you my next project!! 

Gigi McKellips :: BOO to You!!

Hello everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug here. I have a card and fun tutorial for you today! I used the skull stamp out of the NEW Clearly Autumn Quart Jar Contents stamp set to create the background on this card.

This is such a great way to make your own backgrounds and it is SO SIMPLE!

To create the background you will need the following items:

VersaMark Stamp Pad

White Chalk and Chalk Applicator

Skull Jar Filler stamp

I stamped the skulls using VersaMark Ink onto a black piece of cardstock slightly over lapping each stamped image. It is OK to overlap this stamp because it's such a busy stamp that you won't be able to see it. Let it dry for a minute and then chalk up your applicator with white chalk. Using a circular motion, cover the entire thing with white chalk. The more you rub it, the more of the white will stick to the black paper and make the skull images pop. 

AND there you have it! A really fun background that was super simple to create! Now your ready to make the card!

I made the card and ghost using SVG Cutting Files Wavy Card Base and Chibi Pumpkin and Ghost files. I used my sewing machine to sew around the card and down the middle going over the banner. The banner I created using the Lacy Banner Metal Dies and stamped and cut out a single skull from the jar contents stamp.  I stamped the face onto the ghost using Peachy Keen's In The Garden 1 1/8 inch face stamps and pop dotted the head. The BOO sentiment was stamped using Peachy Keen's PKSC-22 October 2013 stamp of the month set. 

I hope you all enjoyed my tutorial and card. Thanks for stopping in and have a great day!

 the pool with their goggles. Our summer is really cool and it's raining all the time so

Emily Kluender :: Fun In The Sun Step Card

Hi Peachy Friends, Emily here!! Today, I have a step card I created with the new Peachy Keen June stamp releases.

I just love how I could create this little beach scene using the new PK stamps!!

The sentiment, beach ball, fish, starfish, octopus, sandcastle, and sun face all come from the new PKSC-18 June 2013 stamp of the month set. This is such a cute set and has so many different stamps to create a great summer project. 

The small starfish and beach ball, were stamped and colored in with Copic Markers.

The octopus, large star fish, and sand castle were stamped and paper pieced. 

If you would like more information on how to sign up for the PK Stamp of the Month Club please click here. It is such a great deal and Kathy comes up with the cutest stamp sets each month. 

The little surfer boy's face comes from the new PK-1320 In the Garden Face Assortment. I also used this face set on the middle fish. 

How cute are these faces?! I just love them!!

This little surfer boy comes from SVG Cutting Files: Surfer Corey.

On the surf board, I stamped on the flowers using PK-211 Tropical Floral. I then put clear embossing powder on top to make it stand out more. 

The sun with the adorable face from PKSC-18 June 2013 comes from Treasure Box Designs: Sand Box Collection. 

For more information on my step card please visit my blog.

Have a peachy day and happy stamping!!
