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.

Happy Together

I don't think I ever shared this project on my blog.  I created this card for my T-Slide tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers.  You can find the step by step to create the bird on my blog HERE.  The T-Slide tutorial is located HERE.

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.

Punch Inspiration 12/19/11

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.

Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge #29

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.

For more great projects, check out the challenge site HERE.  Play along on the challenge for a chance to win a great Peachy Keen prize!



Instructions:
Create the pop up stage card using the pop up stage tutorial HERE.  The tutorial shows the card in landscape  view, however, this card can be adapted to a portrait view by cutting the card base 4-1/4" x 11" and folding in half.  Cut the stage piece 4-1/4" x 5" (score at 1/2", 4, 4-1/2" on long side).  The rest of the pieces and assembly is the same.

Paper and Ink Supplies used:
Baja Breeze card stock
Shimmery White card stock
Early Espresso card stock for snowman arms (arms are free-hand cut out)
Cherry Cobbler card stock for snowman heart
scrap of patterned black card stock for hat
Letters to Santa designer series papers
Basic black, Early Espresso, Baja Breeze, Regal Rose ink pads
Blushing Bride marker for bunny ears and feet

Punches Used
2-1/2" Circle for snowman
1-3/4" Circle for snowman
