Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge #30 Critter Valentine

The Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday challenge this week is a color combo challenge.  I really like these colors together.  The equivalent Stampin' Up! colors for this challenge are Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Pink Pirouette & Poppy Parade.  These are great colors for a Valentines card, so I made a little Bucky Beaver punch art character and stamped his face with the PK-754 Critter Faces Medium face set.   Check out the other great projects at the Challenge blog HERE.



This is a Criss-Cross card style. You can get the step by step tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers HERE.  The papers are a combination of Stampin' Up!, DCWV and My Minds Eye. See the step by step instructions for Bucky Beaver below.

Supplies Needed:
PK-754 Critter Faces Medium face set
PK-281 Valentine Cupids (greeting)
Close to Cocoa card stock
Pink Pirouette card stock
Chocolate Chip ink
Cherry Cobbler ink
Basic Black ink
Regal Rose ink
Island Indigo ink (greeting)
uni-ball white gel pen
stipple brush
scoring board or cutter with score blade
1-3/8" Circle punch
Small Oval punch
Extra Wide Oval punch
1/2" Circle punch
3/4" Circle punch
Full Heart punch
sponge daubers or stamping sponges
assorted designer papers

Step by Step:
Punch the following pieces with Stampin' Up! punches:
1-3/8" Circle in Close to Cocoa (HEAD)
Extra Wide Oval in  Close to Cocoa  (BODY)
(2) Small Ovals in  Close to Cocoa  (LEGS)
(4) 3/4" Circles in  Close to Cocoa (FEET & PAWS)
(2) 1/2" Circles in  Close to Cocoa  (EARS)
Full Heart in Pink Pirouette

Score a small piece of Early Espresso every 1/8", turn and score every 1/8" to create a cross hatch design.  Punch a Large Oval out for the tail.  Stamp the face onto 1-3/8" Circle with PK-754 Critter Faces Medium face set.  Add highlights to face with uni-ball white gel pen.  Stipple regal rose ink onto cheeks (I love the PKS brushes HERE).  Stamp greeting on heart (PK-281 Valentine Cupids) with Cherry Cobbler ink. Sponge edges of heart with cherry cobbler ink.

Sponge the edges of close to cocoa pieces with chocolate chip ink. Clip the bottom off two 3/4" circles for feet.  Glue ears onto head.  Attach head to body with dimensionals.  Glue legs onto back of body. Attach feet with dimensionals.  Glue tail onto back of body.  Attach heart to front with dimensional and attach paws with dimensionals.

Bear for All Seasons

The new year is coming up on us.  How about a great gift idea for the new year?  I posted this tutorial on my blog last year.  Some of you that haven't seen it may want to check it out.  There is a great design for each month of the year of these sweet bears.  Please note that the face in the tutorial uses the old Stampin' Up! small oval.  If you don't have this oval, you can easily use the current small oval in the catalog and they will look just as cute!

Details here:  http://www.paperpunchaddiction.com/p/bear-for-all-seasons-tutorial.html

Want to add more outfits to this class? Check out the Build a Bear class.  The outfits in this class will fit the bears in the Bear for all Seasons. http://www.paperpunchaddiction.com/p/build-bear.html

Merry Christmas!

For those of you that celebrate, I wish you all a very merry Christmas.  I hope everyone has friends/family to spend this wonderful day with.  This year, my daughter got all the toys she wished for.  My heart goes out to those that could not afford to celebrate the holidays.  I wanted to share a couple heart warming stories for the holidays.

Give a Holiday Gift from the Heart

Instead of spending lots of money on small gifts for the teachers, coworkers, friends, mail carriers and other people you usually gift a small gift to during the holidays, how about making something beautiful from the heart?  Check out my snowman treat box which is super easy to make and can be done assembly style for all your gift giving needs.  The step by step tutorial is only $2.50 and uses all Stampin' Up! punches.  I released this pattern last year but I thought I would remind any new readers of my blog that it's still available (if you aren't sure whether you purchased the class last year, please check before ordering).  Details and ordering HERE.

Good morning, everyone!  I have a tip to share for viewing these foreign sites I share on occasion.  Use the Google Chrome web browser (which is far superior to Internet Explorer!) and in the options, activate automatic page translation.  It's nice to go to a foreign language site and have it automatically show up in English.

The challenge this week for Let's Face it Friday is to use fabric somewhere in our design.  I cheated a little and put fabric on the outside of the card on the belly band.  I've been waiting to share this pop up stage card for just the right time.  I used the PK-333 Snowmany Thanks Snowman and Bunny for the bunny, paper pieced hat and greeting.  For the face, I used PK-451 Wide Eyed Kids 1-1/8".   See below for the instructions to make this card.

Baja Breeze card stock
Shimmery White card stock
Early Espresso card stock for snowman arms (arms are free-hand cut out)

Punch Inspiration 11/30/11

Sorry I didn't get this posted in the morning.  December is going to be an incredibly busy time for me.  I have a lot of projects to complete for the several design teams I work on.  I know that other bloggers will probably be busy with holiday planning and spending less time on blogging.  Consequently, there probably won't be as many quality projects to share with you and I don't have hours to spend combing the net for them.  My daily inspiration posts will probably not happen on a daily basis because of this.  I will try my best but you may have to check back every other day to see what's new on the inspiration post.

The good news is that with all of these projects coming up, I'll have lots more creations of my own to share!  So, please keep coming back often to see what's new!

Baby Gingers

I posted my Gingerbread House treat box earlier today HERE.  I thought it would be nice to make a cute little card to go along with the box.  Since we postponed the Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday challenge to December 8th, I wanted to share this baby gingerbread card with all of my readers.  I've always loved the sweet little faces from the Peachy Keen Snow Cuties set.  It's such a versatile set for snowmen, gingers and people.  I used the assortment size set HERE because I needed the smaller 3/4" size stamps for the faces.  Additionally, I used the new Oh by golly! greeting set.  The greetings in this set are perfect for all of your cute and whimsical projects!  See the tutorial below for my baby gingers card.

PEACHY KEEN HUGE SALE ANNOUNCEMENT!
I just had to share this information.  PKS is having a fantastic sale this weekend only. 35% off selected bundles of fantastic face sets.  I'm especially excited about these bundles:

Face Assortment Bundle featuring 2 of my all time favorite sets!
Winter Face Bundle featuring my current favorite face set!
Face Part Bundle featuring the most versatile stamps for every day!

Do you already have these sets? No problem, they are offering 25% off all other stamps!  Check out my top 10 face sets list HERE.  You don't want to miss this sale!  Stock up now on the best sets to make your punch art come to life!


Baby Gingers Card Tutorial

Punch the following pieces out of Crumb Cake card stock for the baby gingers with Stampin' Up! punches:
3 Small Ovals (from current catalog) for heads
3 1" Circles for bodies
6 3/8" Circles for hands (from Itty Bitty Shapes punch set)

Stamp the Snow Cuties 3/4" faces on small ovals with black ink.  Add white hilights to eyes with uniball white gel pen.  Stipple regal rose ink onto cheeks (I suggest the brushes HERE). Apply regal rose ink to nose with blender pen or brush.  Sponge edges of ginger pieces with Soft Suede ink.  


For the card, cut 4" x 8" piece of Real Red card stock and fold in half.  Cut piece of Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper 3-7/8" x 2-1/2".  Cut piece of 4" x 1-1/2" Chocolate Chip card stock.  Emboss with Square Lattice embossing folder.  Trim the length of piece down to 3-7/8" (I suggest embossing before cutting since the paper shrinks a little when it's embossed).  Mount designer paper onto card base, aligning left, right and top borders equally.  Glue body pieces of gingers along bottom of designer series paper.

Mount chocolate chip piece, aligning left, right and bottom borders equally (it will overlap bottom of ginger bodies).  Cut a piece of red glimmer paper 1/2" x 3-7/8" and mount over the seams of DSP and chocolate chip card stock.  Attach ginger hands and heads with dimensionals.

Cut piece of real red card stock 1" x 3" and corner round edges.  Cut piece of crumb cake card stock 7/8" x 2-7/8" and corner round edges.  Sponge edges of crumb cake with soft suede ink.  Stamp greeting from Oh by golly! stamp set with red red ink.  Layer onto real red piece and attach greeting to top center of card.  Punch small heart in real red and attach with dimensional.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers that celebrate today!  Some time today, many of us will be laying around in a turkey induced stupor after eating way too much.  I myself am a crazy shopper and will be hitting Kohls at midnight.

I shared this turkey a couple years ago but I thought I would share him again.  If you haven't seen this and want to check out the tutorial, go HERE.

Forest Festivities Sliding Pop Up

I'm finally getting around to posting this.  I created this when I was down in Green Bay spending some quality crafting time with my Peachy Keen sisters.  I don't even pretend to be a copic expert, so I got a lesson from the copic queen, Lorie Souther.  She showed me how to color the images and I showed her how to make a sliding pop up.  This sweet little fox is from a Stampin' Up! set called Forest Festivities.  The greeting inside is another Stampin' Up! set called Hand Penned.  Both sets are in the holiday mini and available through December.  The pretty tree is from a Peachy Keen set called PK-231 Snowflakes.  For the step by step tutorial on making a sliding pop up, please go HERE.

Pop Up Gift Tag Tutorial

As promised this morning, I'm sharing the tutorial to create a pop up gift tag as featured on THIS POST.  When I got my newest Sizzix die from Stampin' Up!, I knew right away what I wanted to do.  The frames on the Bigz L Peekaboo Frames die is perfect for this technique. If you don't have the die, you can make a full size pop up card as instructed on Splitcoast Stampers HERE.  Once again, I got to use this beautiful set from Inspired by Stamping called Christmas Cheer.  Check out all of Joanna's beautiful stamps HERE.  I discovered that the swirly tree fits perfectly inside the Pennant Punch from Stampin' Up!  How cool is that?

These dies are so easy and fun to use!  For a step by step tutorial on using the dies paired with the stamps, please scroll down below the blog hop list.

PKS Blog - http://peachykeenstamps.blogspot.com

HOW TO USE KUT OUTS DIES WITH COORDINATING PEACHY KEEN STAMPS

Step 1:  Stamp and color coordinating Peachy Keen stamps on card stock.

Step 2:  Cut a piece of card stock 3-1/2" x 5" for a template.  Center the die on card stock and cut with die cutting machine.  With the Sizzix Big Shot, use the platform with all folders closed, clear plate, card stock, die cutting side down and other clear plate.

Step 3:  Lay the template over the stamped image and position so that there is an equal border all the way around stamped image.

Step 4:  Color in the little circles on template with pen or pencil.  Set template aside (keep for future use).

Step 5:  Place stamped image on cutting platform and clear plate of Big Shot.  Place Kut Outs die over top of image (cutting side down).  Align the marked circles on the card stock with the register holes on the die.  Carefully place the clear plate of die cutter on top and run through Big Shot.

Finished piece will have a perfect border all the way around!
