Santa Beer Mug Tag - Be Jolly!

Hi everyone, I thought this beer mug card from SVG Cutting Files would make a cute santa using the Peachy Keen Happy New Year face stamp.  The assortment and 1 1/8th" sets are on special this month, so it's a great time to pick them up!!  I made the card smaller, I'm actually going to use it as a tag for Christmas, have a bunch or beer lovers in the family, so I'll make a couple!  Twine is Peppermint Stick from Annie's Paper Boutique, die is from Jaded Blossom and sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps July 2014 Club set.

Santa Mouse Gift Set - PKS Face Day Project!

Hi Peachy Friends!!
It's my turn on the Peachy Keen Stamps blog today!
I created this cute gift set for the Holidays.




I used two of the adorable faces from the PK-757 Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Assortment pack.  Totally love this assortment, the faces are so cute and a must have for some of your animal cutting files.
The Be Jolly sentiment if from the PKSC-31 July 2014 set and the Happy Holidays is from the newest release PK-1449 Holiday Sentiments.

The Santa Mouse Ornie is from SVG Cutting Files.  I used My Creative Time's Bunch of Fun Circles Dies to cut the hole out of the bag.  I also used the background die and two label dies from Jaded Blossom.  The bag is from the Silhouette Online Store.  Paper is Lawn Fawn's Snow Days, I like to use 6 x 6 paper pads for my cards so I just cut the bag from white cardstock and added the designer paper to the front.  Twine is Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine.

Don't forget to check out the December Specials!!


Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas!

Hi Everyone!!
I have a pretty Christmas card to share
using a couple of files from SVG Cutting Files.


Every time I looked at the Fancy Label Card Base it reminded me of a barrel.
So I duplicated the top layer and cut two pieces to form the
light tan layers on the top and bottom of the barrel.
Duplicating that layer again I cut stripes 1/2" apart to make it look like a barrel.
I have an older version of Silhouette Studio Designer Edition so I used that to design and then saved it as an svg and cut it all out on my Cricut Explore, which I really love!!
I stamped all the wood looking pieces with Heidi Swapp's Woodgrain Background Stamp.
For the 3D Poinsettias I colored with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
The Stamped Sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Christmas Wishes
and the die is from their Mini Tag Dies 2 set.
A little button and some Trendy Twine Limeade finished up the project!

Snowballs 4 Sale!

Here's a quick card I made using Peachy Keen Stamps new face stamp set Happy Snow Couples Assortment.  If you haven't already definitely check out this months new releases, they are all so adorable.  I think it's my favorite, though Kathy always manages to amaze me with her fabulous designs.  I kind of messed up the card a little, I should have moved the bottom two snowballs closer, I didn't want to pull them off and fix it so you can see the white in between, oh well!


The Striped card base was created using PKS Candy Stripe background stamp.

Owl Christmas Card - New Cricut Explore

Hi Everyone!!  I was one of the lucky people who picked up the Cricut Explore with a 60% coupon from Joann's.  They made a huge mistake letting the coupon apply so I got it for $119, can't beat that.  I really wasn't looking to pick one up since I have my Silhouette Cameo but for that price I couldn't pass it up.


Here's a quick card I made with it, Design Space is very easy to use, but it's nothing like Make the Cute or Silhouette Studio, luckily I have the 1.9 version of SSDE on my computer so I can save my designs as svgs and import them into design space to cut.  I'll be able to use my silhouette files which I'm very happy about, I imported some of these cuts from the Silhouette Store.  So far I like how the Explore cuts and it's much quieter than my cameo.  It also came with a bluetooth adapter so I used my Surface Pro 3, it worked great, really love that.  More come as I find time to play!!

Reindeer With Lights Christmas Card - PKS Face Day!

Hi Everyone!!  Here's my Peachy Keen Face Day project I'm sharing over on their blog today!
I used the eyes and mouth from the PK-1435 Fall Face Parts Medium set to create this cute reindeer. 




This set is so perfect for cards, I'm very happy Kathy made this set in two other sizes also, Large and X-Large.  They are great for treat boxes, scrapbooking and home decor projects.

The sentiment, musical notes and diamonds are all from the PKSC-31 July 2014, the stamps in this set are so adorable, great for your Holiday cards.

I created the background using some Versamark on the PK-1381 Polka Dot Background stamp and heat embossing with some Pearl White powder.  I used a blender tool and added the Stormy Sky Distress Ink.

The Reindeer with Lights is from Miss Kate Cuttables, the Cloud Speech Bubble was created using one of My Creative Time's Dies and the background with stitching is from Jaded Blossom Card Mat Dies.

Have a wonderful day!!

Let It Snow - My Creative Time

This tag was made using Dies and Stamps from My Creative Time.
The bag was created using the We R Memory Keeper's Gift Bag Punch Board.
As much as I love my Silhouette Cameo it's so nice to have dies and these punch boards.


For the tag base I used both the XL Label and Stitched XL Label Dies.  I cut out two stitched label dies and used the Large Cloud Bubble Edge die on one to create the snow bottom.  Using the Let it Snow sentiment and snowflakes from the Winter Cheer Set I stamped using Versamark on white card stock and embossed with white pearl powder.  I sponged the tag with Tim Holtz Stormy Sky distress ink and added some dots with a white gel pen.  The deer is from the new Oh Deer set, I also stamped and embossed the bag with the Winter Cheer snowflakes.  These stamps and dies are so wonderful!!

Placecard treat holder that holds a hershey nugget for an after dinner treat.  These are so quick and easy to make, I used 3 of the Stitched Round Tag, Arrow and Tag die to form the holder.  Trim off the top of one of the tags so it measures 2" then score at 1/2" and 1 1/2", this is for the bottom.  Glue one tag to the 1/2" flap in the front and one on the back, one nugget fits perfectly inside.  The oval is from the new set Seasonal Greetings, sentiments are from the Boughs of Holly set and the mitten is from the Winter Cheer set.
