Peachy Keen XMas Card for my “Dear”

Jul9

Todd_Xmas

Hi Everyone,

Thought I’d share the card I made for my husband using the Peachy Keen Stamp set from PKSC-11 November 2012 set for both the deer and the sentiment.

Spectrum Markers that I used to colour the fur are:

Gold Brown (GB) 1,2,3  chest \ antlers, fur 8,9,10,11. Mouth Bright Pink (BP) 1, 3. Nose Ice Grey (IG) 6,7 and for the cheeks and inner ears, I mixed in Coral (CR) 4.

For the snow, I used Glittered Christmas Cardstock from “the Paper Studio” and then ripped the paper to simulate snow drifts and then layered them onto the cardstock from “Recollections” card pack. I then added in some little sparkle trees.

Hope you like it!!!

Happy Bird-ay Canada!

Canada Day 2014Ft Canada Day 2014In

Hi There,

Happy Canada Day everyone! Here is “Boo’s” new card for the vet this year. For those of you who don’t know her, “Boo” is our black cat. We met Boo about 4 years ago, fell in love with her and brought her home to live with us. She was 6.5 years old. She was a rescue cat and because here name was Boo, I thought it would be fun to make a card for Hallowe’en from her. The vet and staff loved it and I’ve been making cards for the vet for every occasion from her since. Hope you like this one!

Happy Birthday Clown Card

Hi There,

I’m entering this into the Peachy Keen contest for using their new June Stamp Release. I decided to make a clown Happy Birthday card. I stamped the Happy Birthday several times to create the impression that the clowns were singing “Happy Birthday”.

For this card, I used the stamps from PKSC-30 June 2014.

I used my Spectrum Markers to colour the clowns.

For Faces I used Gold Brown (GB) 4,5,6; Flesh (FS) 1,2,3,4; Tan(TN) 2,3,4. The cheeks were coloured with Coral (CR)4.

The clowns outfits were coloured using various other Spectrum marker colours. For the pompoms at the top of the clown hats, I used “FlowerSoft”.

I used my Cricut to cut out the world from the “Going Places” cartridge and surrounded the clowns around it.

I cut out various circles with my “Lifestyle Crafts L” Nested Circle cutting dies and used some coloured cardstock that I had on hand and then layered them. I then used an “Action Wobble Spring” behind the world so that you can spin the clowns.

The birthday paper background is from “Birthday Wishes Specialty Collection”.

Hope you like it!

Happy Father's Day

Hi Everyone,

Here is the Father’s Day card I made for my dad this year using Peachy Keen Stamps.

I used the following stamp sets:
PK-1388 Gone Fishin’
PK-1387 Up a Creek and Camper
Waves were cut with blue cardstock using my Fiskar’s punch.
I then used Stampin Up! Pacific Point ink pad to give it some texture.
The raccoon, boat and fish were coloured in using my Spectrum markers and Prisma Coloured pencils.
I raised the waves with pop dots and used some coloured twine to hook the fish.

Hope you like it!

Get Well Card

I created this card for my sister-in-law who had a hip operation and my friend who broke her ankle. Peachy Keen came out with these stamps in May and I just fell in love with them.

The outhouse stamp is called R-32 Lg. Outhouse. Little raccoon faces on the front of the card are from the set PK-1393 Raccoon Face and Head Assortment.

I also used the following Peachy Keen sets. PK-1391 Burnt Out Camping Raccoon for the sentimental saying, PKSC-29 May2014 – Raccoon and S’more.

I used a combination of my Spectrum Markers and Prisma Coloured Pencils to colour in the images.

CardMaker Magazine Challenge 1 – Cut It Out

Oct22

Snowman-and-SnowLadyThis is my card for the CardMaker Magazine Challenge 1.

To create this card, I cut out the 2 snowmen from the Cricut Snow Friends Cartridge. The snow lady was cut out at 1.35″ W x 2.41″ H and the snowman was cut out at 2″ W x 2.41″ H. I used the “Be Creative Tape” 115 m on regular paper and then cut out the snow people. Once they were both cut out, I pulled off the tape and coated the figures with “Glitter Ritz Crystal Clear“. The characters clothing were all cut out using “Neenah Classic Crest Paper for Copic: Solar White“. The snowman’s face was stamped using Peachy Keen’s PK-484 Snowmany Face Assortment (3/4″ face) using Memento Tuxedo Black. I then coloured the nose using Copic‘s YR04, YR07. The tongue and mouth were coloured with Copic‘s RB1, R39, R27, and R29. Boots – Black 100. Cheeks for both snow people – Spectrum Noir – CR4. Hat, scarf and mitts – BG13 and BG18. I then added some sparkle on the bottoms of the lady’s hat and her pompom with Martha Stewart Tinsel Glitter Blue Topaz.

For the snowlady, I used the Peachy Keen PK-460 Happy Lashes Assortment (3/4″ face) and stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black. The lady’s hat, scarf and mitts were coloured in with Copic‘s V04, V06 and the Copic Colourless Blender was used to lift some colour in the hat and on the mitts. The shirt was coloured with Copic V09. The arms were coloured with E47. I then added some sparkle on the bottoms of the lady’s hat and her pompom with Martha Stewart Tinsel Glitter Mica.

The sentiment from “Fun ‘n’ Flair Stamps” FNF-03 Snowmany Wishes” was stamped onto regular cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black and then I used “Be Creative 40 mm Tape” and Glitter Ritz Crystal Clear and burnished it to make it sparkle. I then went around the edges with Copic BG18.

The base card is from “Recollections” – Winter set. On the bottom of the card I used “Aleen’s Glitter Snow” and sprinkled some Glitter Ritz Crystal Clear on it while it was still wet to make it sparkle. Once it was dry. I then burnished it also.

To finish off the card, I used some foam Christmas Trees that I had picked up at Micheal’s and used various coloured Stickles to make little Christmas tree balls. At the base of the trees and along the branches, I used DecoArt Glistening Snow Writer.

Hope you like it!
