Emily Kluender :: Welcome Spring Window Card

Hello Peachy Friends!!

Emily here and I have a fun card to share with you all today. This cold winter weather just seems to linger this year and I am so ready for spring! So spring is my inspiration for today's project.

For this card, I used several different Peachy Keen stamps sets. I love how they all work so well together to create this spring scene. The card base, window, curtain, and flower box are all from a Cricut cut file called Creative Cards (@ 5.5 inches). 

The flowers are stamped and paper pieced from PK-562 Gnomegrown. I colored the flowers with Copics G24, R29, R14, Y13, Y15, Y35, YR02, and YR07. The kitty cat is cut from Cricut's Animal Kindom (@ 1 3/4 inches). The kitty cat face is from PK-110 Here Kitty Kitty Face Asst. I used a white gel pen on the nose/ears and then colored them with Copic R20.

The gnome girl is stamped and paper pieced from PKSC-03 March 2012. I colored her with Copics E00/B32, Inkadinkadoo's chalk ink, and a white gel pen. The spring sentiment is from PK-172 Spring Gear Flowers. The flower stems were cut from Cricut's 3 Birds on Parade (@ 1 inch).

The welcome sentiment and little birdies are from PK-120 Home Tweet Home. The birdies were colored with Copics B05/E13 and the welcome sentiment was colored in with Copic BG23.

Cristina Garcia :: Birthday Treat Bags

Hi Peachies,

It's Cristina from Crafting with Cristina.

Fall is upon us!

For many of us that means changing leaves, cooler weather and pumpkin patches. For me, it means my daughter is another year older.

This year she has decided that she wants to have a "Strawberry Shortcake" Birthday party and therefore I have been tasked to start the massive decorating process.

Then it hit me, THEMED ITEMS ARE EXPENSIVE. And with more than 3/4 of her preschool class attending. I needed to come up with some way to make affordable treat bags that would save me money and not be too time consuming, but still be very cute.

Enter my Peachy Keen Stamps and old fashioned ingenuity.



Believe it or not, I used a few simple supplies to put these little treat bags together



Here is the quick step by Step

1. Take a Lunch Bag and Fold it in half
2. Using the Bottom Flap as a Guide Trim The bag to make it smaller.
3. Stamp the front of the Bag using PK-239 Faceless Fruit and Crumb Cake ink.
4. Fill your Bag with your Candies & Goodies
5.  Fold over the top of the paper bag, must like you would a lunch bag, NEATLY using your bone folder to crease it over as you go. This makes all the difference
5. Punch 2 holes equidistant from the sides in teh bag in the top flap of the bag
6. Thread some twine through the holes
7. Using Various Punches, assemble your Character Tag then punch a hole using a hole punch
8. Thread your twine through the Character tag and tie it off in a Bow
9. Stamp Your Thank You Sentiment from PK-562 Gnomegrown on a 1 inch strip some coordinating Pattern Paper and cut one side to a banner edge
10. Adhere to the front of your treat bag using Foam tape

There are plenty more specific details on my blog, but I hope this is just an great money saving inspiration on how to use your Peachy Keen Stamps.

I could also see something like this is a Halloween Theme using PK-130 Spider and Web.  Just Stamp the Spider Web all over your bag, creating the tag using the spider, with
 maybe some Halloween themed ribbon/twine and papers.

 Just another idea :)
 

Sweet Bunny Thank You :: Cristina Garcia

Hiya There!

It's Cristina from Crafting with Cristina

Today I am sharing you adorable project that I created today using my fave Peachy Keen Stamps.

Lately here in Buffalo, NY the weather has been Beautiful with the temps in the high 70's and Low 80's all week. So in my mind SPRING IS HERE and not a moment too soon.

My favorite part of Spring is the flowers and I love seeing all sorts of wonderful creations using flowers and spring colors. One of the creations that I always see are Flower Pot Shape cards. So I made one for the very first time.

I created this fun shape card from a SVG File from Designs on Cloud 9 The Actual flower pot base opens up like a regular card, instead of sliding like Most Flower pot cards do.

All of the Pattern paper is from Echo Park Walk in the park

The flower base is stamped with PK-565 Mushroom Soup in Stampin Up Crumb Cake ink. You might have to expand the picture to see it, as it's pretty much tone on tone.

The faces on my bunny are from PK-441 Cute and Cuddly 1 1/8" and the  sentiment comes from PK-562 Gnomegrown.

I colored in my little bunnies using my Nectar Prismacolor Pencil and added some Ribbon to each of them, a hair bow for the girl and a bow tie for the boy. Some Pink Baker's twine from Timeless Twine finishes off my card.

I hope you really enjoy this spring card!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs!♥

Gnome Sweet Gnome :: Leanne Garner

Good morning and happy Hump Day!! Yup, we are on the downhill heading for the weekend! Woo Hoooo!! This is Leanne from CreatedbyLeanne and I'm SUPER EXCITED today is my very first post here on the Peachy Blog!! So grab you a cup of coffee (or if your like me have to have a Dt. Mt. Dew first thing) and kick back! I've got TONS of pictures to show you of my project for today!! Since this is going to be a extra long post I'm just going to jump right in with all the details!!

I've used the Sweet Tooth cartridge to create this little gnome box and I'm calling it Gnome Grown (after one of the newest releases that just came out hee hee) Let me start with the picture above it's the front of the house and see she's welcoming you in! The sweet little gnome girl is from the March Stamp Kit of the month and I've paper pieced her using a older DCWV stack called The Green Stack. Matter of fact all the pattern paper I used for this project is from this stack! The little flower pot beside the door was part of the cut from the cartridge I just peachified it a little hee hee. The flower with the face is from PK-564 Teamwork and the flowers at the bottom of the pot are from PK-562 Gnomegrown. The flower that is kinda hidden behind the little gnome is also from PK-562 Gnomegrown. I made a little welcome sign using the sentiment from the March Stamp Kit of the Month and added the flower which is also from this set. Here's a closer look..

Now let's move on to another side of the box...

I used the flowers again from PK-564 Teamwork and added one to a pot which I made and the leaves are a Martha Stewart punch. The other flower I added to the window seal. I cut a strip of the pattern paper I used for the house and added some Helmar ZapDots to make my window seal then added the flowers from PK-563 Garden Wheelies. The little gnome is fromPK-562 Gnomegrown (isn't he a cutie lol) I used the sentiment from PK-564 TeamWork and placed it at the bottom of the grass (which the grass was part of the box cut from the cartridge) Here's a closer look of this side also!

Ok...now to the other side! I sure hope your not getting bored hee hee I promise we don't like much!!

For this side, I did another window seal (the same as other side) but I've added the cute little shovel from PK-563 Garden Wheelies. The watering can at the bottom is also from this set but I stamped the can with a flower from PK-562 Gnomegrown to spruce it up a little! This gnome is from the PK-562 Gnomegrown set (it's the largest from the two in the set) I've got him standing on a mushroom from the March Stamp Kit of the Month. Here's a closer view of this side...

Now onto the back of the box!! 

I think this is one of my favorite sides! I love the little gnome pushing the wheelbarrow of flowers! It's from the PK-564 Teamwork set. For the little flowers on the ground and the one in the window they are from the March Stamp Kit of the Month. The little gnome looking out the window is from the PK-562 Gnomegrown set. Here's a closer look of the back for ya!

Ok, I know you don't believe me but I PROMISE I'm about finished hee hee!! 

Here's the little sign that is also part of the cut from the cartridge! I just wanted to show you what I used on it too!! The sentiment and the flowers are from the March Stamp Kit of the month. I did this on both sides of the sign!

Whew, I betcha never thought the end was coming did you!! This is my last picture PROMISE hee hee!!

I stamped this sentiment from PK-562 Gnomegrown onto both sides of the handle! Thank you soooo much for sticking with me! I know there were tons of pictures but I just wanted to show you up close how cute this newest release really is and what all you can do with it! Now all I have to do is decide if I'm going to bake cookies to put in here or some other type of goodies lol!! Have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for looking!! Hugs, Leanne
