Good morning! My name is Heather, and my blog is called Houses Built of Cards. It is kind of a strange name, but there is a story behind it! You can click HERE and read my first post if you want to find out how it all started. You will notice that this week will be 1 year since I started my blog! Amazing how time flies! Feel free to pop in and visit me on my blog this week, as I will be picking one lucky winner of a prize provided by Peachy Keen stamps from comments made in both places this week! (More on that at the end of this post!)

I'm so excited this week to get to share with you my love of Peachy Keen stamps. They have so many fun things to offer, and I used some things newer to me that I will be sharing with you this week, but my first love is definately their face stamps! It is amazing how much fun and character you can add to a project with them! So this week I thought I would share with you some of my favorite sets. I started today with the Laffy Taffy Face Assortment.
I used my Cricut and the Birthday Bash cartridge to cut out the candles, and after doing a bit of inking, added the faces. I use an eye make-up applicator and a pink stamp pad to add the "blush" on the cheeks, a white gel pen to color in the mouth and eyes, and a red copic for the lips. I ran the white behind the candles through my Cuttlebug, then pop-dotted the candles, as well as the sentiment from the background. This picture shows the dimension a little bit better:
All the pattern papers are from the Echo Park Happy Days 6x6 paper pad - my favorite for cardmaking. I used some Tim Holtz distress ink on the edges of everything - my new favorite for inking! The sentiment is from Emma over at My Creative Time - her stamps are also manufactured by Peachy Keen! Finished off with some Baker's Twine behind the sentiment.
Here is the set I used for my card today:
And...of course what you have been waiting for!
