Guest Designer - Snip Tuck Design - Day 3

It’s Cathy and I’m back with another 3d project. Although Christmas is my favorite holiday, I just love making little gifts for Valentine’s Day. It’s the one holiday that I make something for every kid in my son and daughter’s classes. Last year I made 50 little mail boxes. This project that I made for you this week is a gift that I think anyone would love to receive. I designed a 4-pack carrier that is approximately 3.5” x 3.5” x 5.5” tall. I also made little plastic boxes to fit perfectly in each compartment. All of this was cut on my Pazzles diecutter. Each box is filled with candy and is topped with the cutest glitter faces ever. The face with the glasses is by far my favorite, from my newest stamp set, PK532-Simple Sallies 1 1/8”. The others are from PK-500-Snow Cutie Face Assortment, PK-490 Everyday Character Face Assortment, and PK-570 Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment.

 

I was really pleased with how cute the faces turned out in glitter.

Guest Designer - Snip Tuck Design - Day 2

Hi again. This is Cathy at Snip Tuck Design, with my project for Day 2 of my guest designer week. Today is the Tuesday Challenge so I've made something based off the sketch provided.

There is also a twist to this challenge, in that you can paper piece your stamped image to give it a bit of dimension and flair. This was a project of firsts for me. It was the first time that I've ever done a project following a sketch and the first time I paper pieced a stamped image. I am still very new to using image stamps.

I wanted to make something for Thanksgiving, and PKS has the perfect stamp set for just that. I used CB-03 Tanner Turkey for my card.

It's not just a card though. The top folds back and it becomes a place setting name card for your Thanksgiving dinner. The sentiment included in the set, Gobble 'Til Ya Wobble!  was quite appropriate for something that will be sitting on the table with all that yummy food. 

I love how the stamp turned out on suede paper. The turkey stamp was so great to paper piece. I stamped three images in order to get the dimension.

Guest Designer - Snip Tuck Design - Day 1

Hi, it's Cathy from Snip Tuck Design. I am beyond thrilled to be the featured Guest Designer this week at Peachy Keen Stamps. To give you a little background, I have been paper crafting for just a couple years and primarily create 3d projects. My goal when I started my blog in May 2010 was to create an online store and design and sell my own templates. It took a year and a half, but with the gift of being showcased on Peachy Keen Stamps, I was motivated to make this goal a reality. All of my 3d projects that I will be sharing with you can now be purchased from my blog.

This first project is a school supply bus that is transporting the Peachy Keen Kids to school at Peachy Keen Elementary. I am totally in love with all their face stamps. The ones that I used for this project are PK-570 Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment and PK-490 Everyday Character Face Assortment.

The bus is made of chipboard and embellished with buttons and gems for the lights. Several elements were created on the computer, then hand cut and glued to the bus. The kids, windows, and pencil handle were cut with my Cricut. The top of the bus has separate compartments for pens/pencils, paperclips, and glue sticks.

The back of the bus folds down to access a post-it note pad. Lastly, the door of the bus opens to reveal a tape dispenser.
