Guest Designer Julie's Crafty Spot Day 2

Hi it's Julie from Julie's Crafty Spot.

Welcome to Day 2 of my week with Peachy Keen Stamps.


Today I am sharing the card I made using this week's sketch over at the challenge blog.



My card is an invitation to a Holiday Cookie Exchange that I will be hosting over the weekend. I used Al from the PK-416 Lorie and All Gingerbread Set.
I colored him with copics and then used a snow writer for the frosting on the spatula to add a little texture and dimension. The christmas tree tag is from the Gingerbread Cricut cartridge.


Don't forget to leave a comment here or on MY BLOG for your chance to win the PK-417 Faceless Gingerbread Doll set. I will be drawing one lucky winner from all of the comments from throughout the week.

Happy Crafting!

Guest Designer Julie's Crafty Spot Day 1

Hello Peachy Keen stampers! I am Julie from Julie's Crafty Spot. I am so excited to be the guest designer for this week. I have been waiting almost a year since being asked to be a guest designer and I am so happy that my wait is finally over!


For my project today, I decided to make fun little gifts that can be handed out anytime during Christmas.


I made an elf and a Santa candy bar wrappers.


These wrappers are very easy to make using regular size chocolate bars. Aren't those faces just too cute!? I used the Paper Dolls Dress Up Cricut cartridge for the heads, hats and elf shoes. I had some of this fun fur trim left over from another project and thought it would work great on Santa's suit. Belt buckles, ribbon, bells, pom poms and flower soft finished off the projects.

I hope that you liked this fun little project. Peachy Keen Stamps was generous enough to let me pick out a little something from the store to give to one lucky person this week.


I chose the PK 417 Faceless Gingerbread Doll Lg set



They are just too cute and I can't wait to show you the project I made using this set later in the week.


All you need to do to be eligible to win this set is to leave a comment here or on MY BLOG. I will draw one lucky winner from all of the comments at the end of the week.


Happy Crafting!

Guest Designer - Snip Tuck Design - Winner!!!

I have had such a great time being the Guest Designer here at PKS. It has motivated me to do things that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I added templates to my blog, started my own Etsy Store, and even did my first video. Granted it was just showing how the mood box turns, but it was a jump start to actually create videos to show you how to put together my designs. I had many questions about the Santa Advent Calendar and where I got the container. I created it. I do all my designs in a CAD program and then bring them into Adobe Illustrator to convert them to be cutting files to work with most of the die cutters that are out there. I am a Packaging Engineer by trade, so designing 3d items like that comes very natural to me. Here is a picture of what it looks like flat.



By the end of the weekend all of my designs that I did this week will be available to purchase from my blog (day 1 and day 3 are there now, but I’m still working on day 4 and day 5).

Now to what you’ve all been waiting for…let’s get to the winner.

The WINNER is…..

Jamie Larsen

Congratulations Jamie. I will be emailing you shortly.

We can only have one lucky person walk away with the fabulous Peachy Keen Stamps, but I would like to give a consolation prize to all the wonderful ladies that have been following along all week. The comments that you’ve written have meant so much to me, so in return I would like to give you the cutting files for one of my designs. If you don’t own a die cutter, you can use the pdf file to print and hand cut. All you have to do is email me and let me know which design you pick . Here are the designs again:

School Supply Bus

4-pack Valentine’s Day Carrier and Heart Box

Mood Box

Santa Advent Calendar

Thanks again to PKS and all the fabulous crafters that have followed along.
