Tracy Scales :: Sweet Christmas!

Hi All,Tracy here from Welcome to my crafty world. I cannot believe that it is week 3 of my guest design term here, time flies !
I couldn't let my time go without sharing with you one of the gorgeous christmas stamps from Peachy Keen

I love Christmas, infact I would leave my decorations up and celebrate all year round if I could, and I LOVE Peachy Keens christmas images.
Here is this weeks make from me....

                                                             I have used the lovely  
                                                            PK-1329 Sweet Home

I stamped & colored this with my Copics and then cut out and created a spinner card with this lovely image, one thing I love about this is it's such a lovely big and detailed stamp that you Don't need to add anything else to the card. So all i have done is add some Christmas papers, some twine and a bell. 

The image when spun round has a Merry Christmas Sentiment on the back of the house. 

I hope you like this weeks make from me, and don't forget to check back next week, when sadly it will be my last post.

Saundra Rega :: Hot Diggity Dog!

Hi, Peachy Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together to share some Peachy inspiration with you. I have been playing with the August Stamp Release and have a fun card to share.

Isn't this puppy the cutest!! I colored the puppy, hat, dog house, and dog dish with my Copic markers. These images are all from PKSC-20 August 2013.

Since it is the puppy's party, I thought he should have a treat so I stamped the hot dog from PK-114 Hot Diggity Dog stamp set and added it to his dish. Of course, I used the sentiment from this set, also! I seemed to be the perfect fit!

This was great fun to put together!

I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Kim Score :: Dog House Treat Box

Hello all, this is Kim Score from www.paperpunchaddiction.com.  Today I want to show you how to make this cute little dog house treat box.  This is the perfect gift for the dog lover in your life.  You can either fill the box with doggie treats for their pet or people treats for them!

For this project, I'm using the PKSC-20 August 2013 Stamp of the Month set.  I love the puppy and house in this set!  It's perfect for paper piecing for a great three dimensional look.  Following are the step by step instructions to make the treat box.

Step 1
Cut a 10-1/2" x 7-1/4" piece of chocolate chip card stock or wood grain designer paper (I used Woodgrain Love by My Little Shoe Box).  On the long side, score at 2-1/2", 5", 7-1/2" and 10".  On the short side, score at 2" and 5-1/4".  Sharpen the score lines.

Step 2
If using a patterned paper, turn the paper over to mark on the back side.  On the first and third squares along the top, mark at the center top of each square (1-1/4" is the center of the square).  Draw a line from the center point to the lower corner of the square.  Now measure out 1/2" from the lines just drawn and draw a line as shown.

Step 3
Clip on the score lines and cut away the sections as shown. Use a ruler and bone folder to score on the pencil lines. Sharpen score lines.

Step 4
Flip over and put a strong adhesive on the tabs as shown. Do not add adhesive to the inside tabs on the pointed sections. These tabs will be used for the roof top to open and close.

Step 5
Assemble box.  Tape bottom flaps of box closed.

Step 6
Cut a 3" x 5-1/2" piece of early espresso or textured card stock.  Score at 2-3/4" and sharpen crease.  Attach to the two tabs with adhesive.  The other side of the roof will be a "flap" to get the treats from the box.  Add a repositionable adhesive/velcro/magnets to these tabs so it can be opened easily.

Step 7
Cut a piece of black/espresso card stock 1-3/4" x 2-3/4".  Corner round the top edges and glue piece onto the front of dog house. Stamp the puppy twice onto a designer paper or card stock.  Stamp the face onto one of the bodies.  Cut that head out and mount onto the other dog image with dimensionals. Attach dog to front of dog house with dimensionals.
