Cassandra Cauble :: Merry Christmas Step Card

Hello everyone!  This is Cassandra from Creating with Color by Cassandra and I'm so excited to be back for some "Christmas in July" fun.  Today I am trying something new...it's my very first side step card:

To make my cute little scene I used the following products:  PKS ~ Cottage Cutz : Penguin Dolls, PKS ~ Cottage Cutz : Snowman Dolls, PKS ~ Cottage Cutz : Doll Accessories 3, PKS ~ Santa Tree, PKS ~ Peachy Keen Santa Set, PKS ~ November 2012 : Kit of the Month and PKS ~ Winter Peekers & Phrases.

Here are some closer pictures:

I did a combination of paper piecing and coloring with Copic ~ Sketch Markers and added just a touch of bling with Stickles.

If you would like to read more about how I made this side step card, hop on over to my blog to get all the fun details.  And don't forget to head on over to Peachy Keen Stamps to check out the latest "Christmas In July" sale.  You don't want to miss it!!!  Have a great day everyone.

Brianna Loffelbein :: Rock A Hula!

Happy Tuesday everyone, It's Brianna here from Happy Scrapper. I am here today to share with you my second project as guest designer for Peachy Keen Stamps. I love anything bright, fun and cheerful and I hope you will notice that in today's post. Here is the fun card I created!

I wasn't joking when I said bright. Can you believe that all of the images and the rock-a-hula sentiment came from only ONE stamp set!? The aloha stamp was a wooden on I had laying around in my stash. I just love the quantities and quality you get with Peachy Keen Stamps. The stamp set I used for this card is PK-1254 Rock a Hula.

All my papers except the solids came from a digital paper park called Aloha, by Designs by Dani. I added some yellow stickles to my hula girls accessories and my aloha sentiment. I finished it up by adding a couple pink pearls and gold sequences. I colored all of my images using my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I hope all enjoyed my bright, fun and cheerful card!? Have a great day and I will see you all next week, same time!!

Janice Wilson :: Sweet Winter Scene

Hi everyone!  Today I have a SWEET card to share with you.  I used PK-1329 Sweet Home from the newest Christmas in July stamp release.  I used bright fun colors to color the house.  I was going for a storybook, candyland type of look.

After coloring the house with copics I cut the image out.  I used an exacto knife to cut the windows and door so that it could open.  I cut some images from a 6x6 paper pad called Countdown to Christmas by Melissa Frances, and placed them behind the windows and the door.  Santa is putting presents under the Christmas tree, behind the door.

To finish my scene I cut Christmas trees from some patterned paper, punched the snowman and snowflakes, punched the orange "tree skirts" and cut the orange path.  The snowy rooftop was made with some puffy paint and glitter.

By combining stamped images with pre-printed images you can create some fun scenes.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Don't forget to check out the Peachy Keen Store for some great bargains.  A new sale starts every Tuesday for the entire month of July!  Get your shop on!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice
