Peachy Keen's Challenge 1

Peachy Keen Stamps June Release Challenge #1

Heather's challenge was to include paper piecing, ribbon or twine, and some kind of sparkle or bling on 

your projects

OK is official I have completely lost my mind.

I had shoulder surgery on Thursday but I so loved this set and was determined to enter this

challenge so with an ice pack and pain killers both

while making this card and now describing what went into making this card.

I ended up making this card not only for the challenge but also

for Aubrey's (my granddaughter's) 6th birthday.

Stamp set - Pk's latest release 

Paper - DCWV's Once Upon a Time stack 

I went around the purple sheet with Tim Holtz's  Dusty Concord

Then on the landscape I used Wild Honey on the mountain

Iced Spruce on the water and in the sky

Iced spruce on the leaves and grass.

& Vintage Photo along the edge to pop out the window frame.

Grass - memento's cottage ivy

and the fairy was colored with my limited supply of copic markers

with stickles to make the hair pop

Paper piecing on her top - paper scrap - that I went over with 

my Scrampin' Up's Smooch 

Stickles on her wings and the flower hat

blush - Stamin' up's chalk.

Brad's Recollections

Ribbon - unknown source

I love this card and this latest set.

I can see myself using it over and over again 

Peachy Keens anything goes challenge

OK here it is

Still debating if I need to add something more to it.

Of course the stamps are from the last PK stamp of the month

PK Let's Face it Friday - Plentiful Patterns

Instead of Christmas in July
I decided to do a Halloween Card
Seeing that the pattern of the paper had circles
I decided to make a circle for the PK Mini Ghost

It is the first time I used this stamp

Oh, I will be using it again. 

I know it is not scary at all 

but I think it is super cute! 

I was luck enough to win the eerie 

greeting card kit at a crop, I attended last year with my youngest.

I took the basic idea and changed it up for this challenge

The black glitter paper - Pressed Petal Coffee Talk Solids

Assorted open stock paper pack 

I went around the edge of the white circle 

with grey chalk from Stampin' Up 

Circles were cut with Martha Steward's circle cutter.

Red Stickles 

The paper was cut with Kraft Edge Deckle scissors
Which I never use
They are just sitting in my craft room gathering dust 

Letters - MakingMemories - 

metro mini shimmer alpha 

Pumpkin colored with Prisma color pencils 

Blended with - stampin' up pen

Circle popped up with
Recollections Foam adhesive mini circles

PK Sketch Challenge 54

Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 54

Have you ever been working on something and it just is not working???

Ah - well this is one of those projects

I made this card as a result of the following blog

Royal Purple Freedom Blog Hop

For more info you can go to 

http://faithfulecreations.com/

The blog discussed Domestic Violence and encouraged us to send cards. 

Each card will be donated to the Bradley Angle House in hopes of inspiring women who have finally found the courage to leave. 

When I saw this blog, I purchased four different sheets of purple paper.

I stamped the background with Market Street's Punch Tin in Vivid's Purple

I then cut 2 squares in 2 different shades of purple and rounded the corners 

Then I stamped the bottom portion of the lighter shade with another MK Stamp 

However it didn't come out right 

Tried to fix it and just made it worse

So I just had to cut out another piece and stamped it 

with Punch Tin

As for the ribbon - it is lying on top of another ribbon - AHHHHHH 

I just kept playing with it and playing with it and then finally!!

- List of other items used on this card -

Butterfly - Recollections covering up a smudge

Flowers - Prima Flowers 

The sticker is from BoBunny's Cardstock stickers set Free Spirit

I won it in a blog hop 

Aqua ribbon - from stash 

Brown ribbon - K*i memories 

Card base - Paper Studio 5" x 7'" Kraft Card

& last but not least the rhinestones are from Michael's

so far this is my favorite.

 

I have enclosed a few pictures of the above layout for this challenge

I recently purchased a Distressing kit from MakingMemories - Yes on clearance 

On the stars I used Burnt Sienna and Ochre Stain

The sunglasses came from Everyday Paper Dolls with paper from

The box that I used was originally a box full of cards that I purchased at Costco. I created a card on the box.

Birthday card for my son-In-law and for the PK challenge

The plaid background is from the All ABout Boys Stack (DCWV). The stamps  are from Stampin' up Loads of Love and the accessory set that goes with it.  The road on the bottom is from Hot Off the Press Stamped Stitches set. I colored the gifts to go with the paper.  The decorative brad is from Making Memories Antique copper round 1. I have been holding on to them for what seems like forever. As soon as I started this card they just seemed perfect for this card. 

Pk Flower Challenge

The flowers were stamped with a set from BoBunny and the PK face was from the Wide-Eye Kids face assortment and the sentiment was from the Mark and Sharon Love Frogs set.  The ribbon was from La. Di.Dah  and the card is  from an unknown source.  Hope you all like it even though it was created at the last minute

Pk challenge with Faux Stitching

Well here is another first - yes I used faux stitching.
I used Memento Tuxedo Black and Hero Arts - CL299 and PK-451 Wide Eyed Kids 1 1/8.
I colored the Cupcake with Martha Steward coloring pencils and also used Staples metallic markers to Color in the letters ( Just A little more Sparkle).
The Ribbon is Sashes from Kimemories and Recollection metallic Brads from Michael's
Paper DCWV from the Safari Kids Cardstock Matstack.
As for the pic - I think I need a new camera. The pictures never come out straight and the colors is always a little off.
I have to say, I love the PK face - what a cute, happy smile. Now the question who is going to be the lucky person who receives this card?
