Guest Designer - Snip Tuck Design - Day 5

Well, it’s been such a fun week for me. I have to start out by thanking all the fabulous people at Peachy Keen Stamps. I actually got so busy with life that before this week, I hadn’t posted anything to my blog since February. It feels so great to be crafting again and even better to get such amazing comments from everyone. You have all be so generous with the kind things you’ve said. Thank you.

I saved my Christmas project for last. I figured I should go big or go home.



This is my version of an advent calendar. I created the container to hold 25 tubes, one for every day in December until Christmas. Each tube is filled with candy and has a tag on it for each day. The inside opens up and you can write anything you want inside. I had to find candy that was small enough to fit in each tube, so I used nerds, mini m&ms, and tic tacs.




I used tiny rubber bands that I found at the dollar store to hold the tags on to the caps.




I really had no idea how I was going to decorate this container and how I was going to incorporate PKS into it. I decided to cut it out in red. I knew that I had some white fuzzy trim that would look good with the red, so I added that to the bottom. At that point, the first thing that came to my mind was that it looked like Santa’s coat. The rest of the project quickly took form. I cut a Santa head on my Cricut and found the biggest face stamp that I had. It is the 1 3/8” face from PK-490 Everyday Character Face Assortment. I added the belt and all the fur to his face, and Santa was complete.

Here’s your last chance to win some blog candy? Peachy Keen has been so generous to let me give away a set of their stamps. For a chance to win the PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids Faces Assortment ($25 value) please leave me a comment here and then head over to Peachy Keen Stamps and
comment on their blog too. I'd also love to have you as a follower, but it’s not required to win.
Check back tomorrow to see if you’ve won. Good luck!

Guest Designer - Snip Tuck Design - Day 4

I can’t believe it’s already day 4 of my guest week at PKS. Today I created a mood box. It can display 8 different moods. I decided to add some pictures of my kids on the sides and a calendar in the back. All the frames are open at the top so I can easily switch out the pictures and calendar. The face stamps that I used for the moods are PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment, PK-532 Simple Sallies, PK-570 Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment, and PK-490 Everyday Character Face Assortment.
 


The box inside has eight sides. The face on one side matches the label on the opposite side. This allows you to see what mood you are displaying as the box sits on your desk. There is a dowel that is glued in the center of the box. I added a wood knob at the top so it could turn easily.

Here is a video to show the mood calendar in action.
Here’s your chance again to win some blog candy? Peachy Keen has been so generous to let me give away a set of their stamps.
